wait, how much compute would they need for this, ignore patent absurdity of it all for a minute? would they wrap it up under 1 quadrillion dollars?
there is a common criticism of charities in general: these give some random unelected unaccountable Specialest Billionaire Boy, along with army of weirdos willing to catch a bullet for him, outsized influence over what might be millions of people. there's also magic of money in that that big donors will be able to steer charities to serve their own goals, under threat of withdrawing funding
want to distribute resources from people who don't need them to people who do? at scale? in a way that works? it's called "welfare state with progressive taxation" but EAs don't like taxing billionaires out of existence, because it takes away their control, and also takes away funding for machine god cult and ultimately makes them unimportant. my point is, some meanings of altruism don't collide head on with being a libertarian control freak
crazy how techbros understand consent (to be recorded all the time) only when it impacts them personally (i assume that was the main problem)
milei? bukele?
wouldn't that add resistance to ground path (avoidably)
color-coded screws? wtf
Yea, but at this point multiple things are seriously wrong
Even worse. Orientation of pins like this is used in 240V circuit which means it has two antiphase live wires. This means that after shorting them, if one trips but not the other (if these two have independent breakers - idk if code requires otherwise) 120V is sent to device ground, and this one can be cut off by GFCI if used, but i hear it's uncommon
If it was normal 120V circuit, breaker would cut off live and left neutral connected to device ground, which still can be some 20V depending on conditions
this is an effect known for almost 60 years now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect
