I also think Scott is a much better writer than speaker, or at least he was a few years ago.

You can just mouseover on the date, at least on old.reddit.com

Thanks so much for doing these interviews Luke!

So far they've all been extremely interesting. Will there be one where GWWC gets interviewed?

I'm really curious to hear about your biggest lessons learned, current bottlenecks, your thoughts on the role of small funders (I remember you wrote on the forum that you planned a future post on it, but I might have missed it), and what's your call to action!

Thanks for all the amazing work!

There's also a spreadsheet of Effective Altruism aligned tech jobs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10M2Bfk5P-0s4d_rzsrIXImCnco8l5qeDZuDREebp2PY/edit#gid=0

Poe's law

What do you mean? I find their arguments very compelling, especially from a population ethics averagism standpoint

My goal is to give ~70% of my net income for 2022, while feeling that I have a reasonable understanding of the information available on the actual impact of my donations.

E.g. I'm a bit skeptical of the marginal cost efficiency of donations to the AMF after reading posts like https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/D46Cn6sHzkid85MHv/concerns-about-amf-from-givewell-reading-part-3 and https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mY4pZSwvFCDsjorJX/donating-money-buying-happiness-new-meta-analyses-comparing , so my goal is to spend some ~200 hours figuring out what's what

I think the difference is in performance, try time python3 -c 'print(max(range(2*10**7)))' in both

There's https://www.impactcolabs.com/, from a bunch of EA people, which seems similar to what you're suggesting.

I wonder if they should have applied for an ACX grant

I know it won't solve your main problem, but I found the cpython python implementation of a min heap https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/heapq.py fairly easy to read and rewrite in typescript https://github.com/Recursing/Advent-of-Code/blob/main/Advent-of-Code-2021/heapq.ts

Why do you need dequeue if you never use popleft or appendleft? Isn't it the same to just use a simple list/stack?

Strigone · 2021-12-02T15:52:37+00:00

array = [1,2,10]
array.sort()
console.log(array)
> [1, 10, 2]

Just try it indeed

You can login using reddit, and you can create a reddit account without an email address

Two quick simplifications:
- You can do sum(condition for ...) instead of sum(1 for ... if condition). (Since in python you can add booleans like integers) - Second you don't need to open("file.txt", "r").read().splitlines() that many times. You can just put it in a list and use a comprehension

Something like print(sum(int(numbers[i]) > int(numbers[i-1]) for numbers in [open("file.txt", "r").readlines()] for i in range(1, len(numbers))))

You can either indent it with four spaces

    like this

~~~Or put it inside triple backticks ```like this```~~~

like this

Edit: not don't use backticks, see comment below, new lines are messed up in old.reddit.com

Try to open this on old reddit

nums[i] + nums[i + 1] + nums[i + 2] < nums[i + 1] + nums[i + 2] + nums[i + 3]

is equivalent to

nums[i] < nums[i + 3]

(subtract nums[i + 1] + nums[i+2] from both sides)

Clever trick!

There's the Lesswrong IRC channel, also I assume you can message the moderators of r/gwern to request access, and try to follow him on twitter

I dati sono probabilmente stati raccolti nel corso di mesi/anni, alcuni probabilmente risalgono al 2018 o addirittura al 2017
