  on: Who Is a Good Fit for a Ca­reer in Non­profit En­trepreneur­ship? (CCW2023)

  I’m excited to curate this Career Conversations Week post. It’s an easy read and seems helpful in evaluating a very high upside career path.

  on: Nu­clear win­ter—Re­view­ing the ev­i­dence, the com­plex­ities, and my conclusions

  I’m curating this post. I also highly recommend reading the post that I interpret this post as being in conversation with, by @bean .

  These posts, along with the conversation in the comments, is what it looks like (at least from my non-expert vantage point) to be actually trying on one of the key cruxes of nuclear security cause prioritization.

  on: What Does a Marginal Grant at LTFF Look Like? Fund­ing Pri­ori­ties and Grant­mak­ing Thresh­olds at the Long-Term Fu­ture Fund

  I’m curating this. Along with other commenters, I really like the focus on the marginal grant. If I were to write a post that would help donors understand the impact of their donations to the Long Term Future Fund, it would look a lot like this.

  While I’m sympathetic to the reasoning, I was sad to hear that EA Funds would stop sharing publicly all its grants. To my mind to this post goes a long way towards remedying that, and makes me much more likely to recommend the Long Term Future Fund to others. (That strikes me as a surprisingly large update, but I stand by it.)

  Thanks a bunch for writing this!

  That’s what I mean by something automatic. I’m not sure without trying it whether it’d be a terrible and disorienting experience that was wrong most of the time, or whether it’d be successfully useful.

  I expect this to be hard to get right, but I think it would in fact remove a major bottleneck to returning to a post. Claim: the hard part is getting people to set their bookmarks. Maybe we could do something automatic?

  I’ve recorded the feedback, thank you! The anticipation that some this might be distracting was the motivation for the feedback button. Which makes me concerend to hear that it’s not working for you. Could I ask if you could check your cookies to see if you’ve enabled functional cookies? (See the link in the second paragraph.)

  on: Thoughts on far-UVC af­ter work­ing in the field for 8 months

  Thanks a bunch for this very helpful overview — I’m curating it.

  This covers well the things I’ve learned from my casual observation of the field, and introduced me to new considerations and more detail. I’m very glad to have read it and I recommend it.

  I assume this is about for your own psychology? My recommendation here is to use your ad-blocker to block out the specific element.

  I’ve just submitted a change that will make this uBlock Origin rule work:

  I just added this to a recent related improvement. Should be fixed when that Pull Request gets merged.

  Sorry about that, we recently broke this fixing another bug. Fix should be live momentarily.

  LessWrong is thinking about this. I don’t want to make it user toggle-able. My guess is that removing the voting from the top of the post that’s more the direction I’m going. LW wants to try it for admins to see how they find it before shipping it further.
