He does give money away but it's hard to give quickly unless you just spray and pray which is against his ideals. And I don't agree that FTX is dubious, I think they're a genuine legit exchange. I take from your comment that

> One idea I see expressed in Effective Altruism circles a lot is that a life overseas in some poor country is worth as much as a life here (in NYC where I live). Exactly this - it's not a perfect science but it is also a little mor

Energy is a very important problem but also one that is heavily funded and researched. It makes more sense to focus on underfunded issues that offer a high reward. I argue that energy should be more funded for what it's worth, but clim

Crypto trading with his own money and then his own fund. I believe it was Alameda Research which is still going. Basically a bunch of young Jane Street/MIT/Stanford mathematicians who've made a killing. You can read a little

No. I have some mutual acquaintances with the owner through effective altruism and I've heard good things. It's pretty insane that he left Jane Street to try make more money to give to effective charities and now at 29 is worth $2

Can't work out if you're joking or not! Is this actually going to be viable?

I don't think it is as you describe it though, the leetcode questions in interviews are usually just slightly rehashed. What would be interesting is giving someone a puzzle they hadn't seen before. My wife can't remember form

In Haskell you’d use pattern matching guards for the empty list which works better for recursion & doesn’t require you to handle the Maybe monad in primitive data structures. Even though Monads were introduced to programming after Haske

How would one self-study enough about ML to be able to move into an ML engineering role without an academic background on it? Any recommended paths out there?

Any tips for getting started as a data engineer? I actually like cleaning stuff so maybe it's the career for me

Gotta protect East Ukraine from the Nazi-devout Jewish leader! In all seriousness I do feel for you. Protesting against this will do little and get you in trouble so you’re basically forced to watch. You’ll need to accept these are things o

This won’t become WW3 - not if it’s ‘only’ Ukraine - but it could become a bloody proxy war. If it spread to a NATO country then it would likely escalate towards WW3.

As strong my opinions are on this, there are both sides on this site and we should avoid pointless arguments that can’t go anywhere. A much more interesting topic is how anything can be done to help those in need escape war, provide for the

Not to say tech doesn't pay fantastically well but it's seen as a trade within law/banking/media circles, especially by the older crowds. It's definitely not in the same category. In regards to FAANG, it will help b

Haha I hadn't see that but sadly it is. I was put through a similar process and burned out hard with school by 16.

The other issue is that this will surely go back to the Elite High School feeding to the Elite School. And the Elite Junior School feeding to the Elite High School. And the Elite Preschool feeding to the Elite Junior School. If your parents

This is anecdotal but most of my closest friends got their DPhils at Oxford and all of those who wanted to pursue academia got postdoc positions at 'top schools' based entirely on quick chats and someone in the lab who knew the
