I'd avoid quoting "Blue Zones", as there's fairly good evidence that it's a statistical artifact stemming from pension fraud, rather than any real health effect.

The link to the Rethink Priorities page (https://rethinkpriorities.org/ea-survey) is broken.

To add to this, combining this with LLMs is very powerful. If you describe the structure of your sheets and how you want them manipulated to ChatGPT, it will (in my experience) output hundreds of lines of code that will work on the first try.
This has turned me from Just Some Guy into a capable programmer at work, it's crazy.

Can someone share a link to the interview? I can't find it anywhere.

As far as I know, Jaan Tallinn has not contributed significant amounts of money towards EA community building in Estonia directly.

I was fairly heavily involved in community building in Estonia until 2022, we also don't know what we did right, sorry. @RichardAnnilo is the guy who's mainly responsible for this is, what do you have to say for yourself?

Wow, nice! Thanks for sharing! That's great news!

Unfortunately I don't have any deep insight to offer. All things science have interested me since age 6, and when I first encountered chemistry in high school it seemed like the most interesting subject by far.

To get an idea of what you would like to do, it helps to try as many different things as possible. Job shadowing is good, but the closer you get to trying out the job itself, the better. Try to intern in any company that would take you.

If you have the financial means, it's much better to take a year or two off before college to figure out what you want, rather than spend 3-5 years in college on a hastily chosen major and realize only after graduating that you don't actually like it.
