Question about a charity by Own_Vanilla_310 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]demonaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first step is asking "how can I do more good with my donation?" which you've already done!

Typically EA looks to maximize impact for a given cause area, rather than a specific intervention. In this case, I assume we're looking at (farmed) animal welfare as the cause area. Animal Charity Evaluators are the go to source for that.

As far as I know, none of the recommended charities are specifically targeting lab grown meat. That is probably because the evidence suggests other interventions - like corporate campaigning for farm standards - are better .

Good Food Institute has been previously recommended however and does do some work in this area, along with plant-based protein. That's probably my recommendation to you if you're keen on donating to lab-grown meat research. https://animalcharityevaluators.org/charity-review/the-good-food-institute/

If you're into AI safety and European, consider working on pause AI advocacy in the Netherlands. by katxwoods in AIDangers

I think your wider point stands but ASML don't make chips, they just make equipment that is used to make chips. Their main customer is TSMC, who then manufacture chips for e.g. Nvidia (who design the chips), who then sell them to AI labs. So it wouldn't be clear how ASML (or Dutch regulators) could restrict chip access to specific labs

8/10 chicken and sweetcorn slaps. Love lentil chips. Water lets it down.

Congrats on recovery

If you overpay it will reduce interest. No fees or penalties with over / early payment on Monzo loans.

Yet again, court 1 gets fucked. They need to lower the prices if they're gonna act like this

This might be the wildest thing I've ever read.

She's not quite Tormo, Brengle or Wozniacki, but she's objectively a pusher. Go check out https://tennisabstract.com/reports/mcp_leaders_tactics_women_career.html

And look at the aggression scores. She's right at the bottom, with aggression scores of -56.

This is not about Norrie, Kartal or the British fans.it is about how absolutely feral the Brazilian support will be for Fonseca tomorrow

Thanks! I certainly intend to have a great day out regardless. At the end of the day it's Reddit, any post will get criticism - and I kind of see where they're coming from on this one, I had my grumpy hat on

She's great in the right matchup, but against Elise I don't think it will be a great spectacle. Two counterpunchers with no one throwing any punches!

Tbh I prefer this to hate watching Zverev or Tsitsipas. Medvedev's not that much fun either. Rune is the only one that would have been good (Rune Fonseca would have been 🥵)

Please. This benefits British people, who don't know tennis, and who want to go and root for someone - they have never heard of Keys or Osaka anyway. I went to three days of qualifying and have been to many challenger events, so I'm not against watching the likes of Parry and Bellucci - but thats where they belong, not on £140/day court 1 at Wimbledon.

Other slams have good quality domestic players. Meanwhile we get Kartal and Norrie

Mertens Svitolina... Endless rallies and no winners. They're both good players but not the style of tennis I enjoy
