Please explain. I took a few courses in group theory, ring theory, etc., though I was never particularly good at it. How does it relate to probability?
Zuckerberg/CZI are not EA, and SBF was disowned by EA. It's not obvious to me that SBF was not interested in altruism, I think he was just catastrophically bad at it.
AMF stopped 20 million cases of malaria in 2023.
Sure, let me just dust off my notes from a decade ago.
It has to do with the available range of outputs given all available inputs. And the degree to which iterative actions can have a feedback effect.
But the math on this kind of thing gets hairy fast.
Zuckerberg hires from the community and its affiliates. Sarah Wynn-Williams being an excellent example.
SBF being disowned after he went broke is hardly a point in the movement's favor.
FFS, they printed this in November of 2023. Really getting out ahead of your skis, when you're a data driven organization that's making claims on total reduction in cases before the period is even closed.
To date, I can find no evidence of a 10% drop in malaria cases in any of the targeted countries between '22 and '23.
On the contrary, the WHO reports an 11M case rise from the prior year. Neither have we seen a plunge in cases in '24 or the Q1 & Q2 of '25.
