Could you elaborate on what a better computer setup is for you?

In 2020, I got to the interview stage of FHI’s research scholar selection and did not get in. They offered me a feedback call. I took up their offer and spoke with Max Daniel for ~40 min. He not only gave me insightful feedback about my performance in the process—to the best of his knowledge—but also gave me some career advice, which ended up taking up most of the 40 min. I’m not sure if this was done with everyone who got to the stage I did, but it left me with a great feeling (for a rejection) and boosted my motivation.
That’s outstandingly impactful. I just shared it with a bunch of non-EA friends. Great work!
Thanks for bringing that up! That was unintended, we will work on solving that :)
Thank you for the great suggestions! It is definitely important to keep in mind such an opportunity. As we are on an early stage, we are currently focusing on developing a strong basis of quality work that will help solidify the reputation of the field. For this reason, we are being careful regarding growing too much in the beginning and are limiting our active search for new collaborators.
Yes, we are considering including nuclear security in our agenda! However, prioritisation is inherently rather selective, and we are focusing on areas that are both immensely relevant, neglected (which nuclear security might not be as much in relation to others), and tractable. We do plan to include a list of cause areas for further exploration, though. Nuclear security is definitely a promising consideration.
This is incredibly useful. Thanks for sharing!
