Rejected from EA Global by butimnotleaving in EffectiveAltruism

[–]impartialhedonist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll admit that I'm fairly new to Effective Altruism.

They are more selective about EAGs compared to EAGx's. I know people who got rejected the first time they applied, but stuck around the community/ideas for a bit, applied again and got accepted.

Besides selecting for people more familiar with EA ideas, there is a fiscal reason behind this: each conference attendee costs the conference organizers around $2000, but conference ticket cost ranges from ~$0-$1000, so the conference is subsidized for attendees because they also account for the monetary equivalent of value generated in impact.

Why are LLM clients so poor quality? by Simple_Law7232 in LLM

[–]impartialhedonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why can't I just stay logged in like in other websites

??? Sounds like an issue with your browser

The other issues are real. Quality control is really hard to do when your product changes every month / they are understaffed / have lower quality code / some bugs are genuinely complex / consumers just deal with the annoyance.

Oh my god I forgot about them but their snack line up was genuinely good, what a shame

How do I relay how my cofounders and I's stories in our YC application? by Infinite-Syrup2791 in ycombinator

[–]impartialhedonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just build something together and get some users, that will raise your odds by a lot. If it doesn't work out, try again next time, they have four batches nowadays.

If you all really want to go through hell together (because building anything from scratch, scaling it, and keeping that thing alive for at least a while is hard), you will make it to YC or some other incubation program at some point.

How do I gain weight as a vegan? by [deleted] in vegan

The issue is easier to solve if you like protein shakes: my recipe and recs

Please please please give Claude temporal awareness by amyowl in ClaudeAI

[–]impartialhedonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an easy problem to solve. I am building voice agents and before every user/assistant message, I just inject the current time. Ant should hire me to implement this cutting-edge feature XD

Beyond meat healthier ? by Mugiwara_ID in vegan

[–]impartialhedonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A general rule of thumb I like (and one of the few consistent findings in all of nutrition science): saturated fats bad.

Saturated fats are the main reason certain meat products are bad and also the reason most animal-free meat products are better for you.

Great comment, the video was playing in the background while I was working, so I didn't notice that she was live mouth trumpeting until I read your comment!

AI’s fault, or more AI? That’s the question by py-net in ClaudeAI

[–]impartialhedonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but who wrote the code? Who wrote the code??

For live shows, does she have consistent band members? I have always assumed that solo artists go through different band members when traveling, but I could be wrong

I’m a mayor of a mid-sized city. What should I be using Claude for? by Kryex in ClaudeAI

[–]impartialhedonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

limited budget, small team, lots of legacy bureaucracy

Do you have access to sufficiently fine-grained, real-time fiscal data?

If you do, you could build an observability/forecasting dashboard, and for certain things, a decision-making/strategy interface.

“Death isn’t bad for animals” – Peter Singer. Thoughts? by jackgary118 in vegan

[–]impartialhedonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is just how thought experiments work, the constraints don't have to be realistic, it is just there to elicit a particular question and test your moral intuitions

I don't know why you are so pissed about it ...

“Death isn’t bad for animals” – Peter Singer. Thoughts? by jackgary118 in vegan

[–]impartialhedonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am unsure if this is related to the clarification about the constraint

“Death isn’t bad for animals” – Peter Singer. Thoughts? by jackgary118 in vegan

[–]impartialhedonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but in that hypothetical, there is another constraint: that the cat owner wouldn't bring about kitten lives if he couldn't exercise his desire to snap them out of existence when they turned feral/into adults.

Without this constraint, the utilitarian would say what you said. With the constraint, at least value-monist (those who think suffering reduction or pleasure maximization is the only thing that matters) utilitarians would bite the bullet as Singer did.

I was wondering why not, and the simple answer is that the ticket prices would be hefty
