Born and raised in US, living in Germany since 2011, doing applied engineering research projects since then, wrapping up a PhD by the end of 2018.
Openly an aspiring EA since 2017, after having read HPMOR, Rationality from A to Z and Doing Good Better (and some other things) between 2012 to 2016, currently planning to move into the field of x-/s-risk reduction, starting in Germany, but happily moving back to an english-speaking country after a few years!
I seem to have broken the display by proposing an edit! The meta-level script is showing in some places. I hope that doesn’t cause unneeded headaches.
I only wanted to emphasize the difference in notation between a horizontal line (“—”, as in relative probabilities) vs. a forward slash (”/”, as in probability that something will occur). I could find no misuse of the notation when I re-read the page, but it was a bit confusing for me jumping in at the stage I did (is there an earlier page briefly defining various notation?), since I am accustomed to both these symbols meaning “divided by”, which lead me to instinctively calculate a percentage or fraction whenever I see one or the other. This could be an idiosyncrasy of an engineering workplace.
