I don't know what you mean. ChatGPT's reply said something along the lines of "according to study ABC done in 2020 by research firm XYZ...". It's not some theory I concocted.

I never saw the actual article, but the quoted figures were not just plausible and reasonable but also internally consistent throughout several exchanges. It produced exact figures for key (i.e. largest) submarkets and growth estimates for

When ChatGPT first came out, I was surprised at the depth of information it had about region-specific market sizing in our (relatively niche) industry. Turns out the model had ingested a pay-to-read article that cost upwards of $2000 [0] an

Because it's a folkloric tradition instead of a proper feature documented under comment syntax, not everyone knows about it. So half the people use code blocks instead which break on mobile, or double quotes, or use italics, or don

Unless you have some sort of thunder-wok burner the 110V kettle is still way faster than the stove. Source: have a 110V kettle and a gas cooktop with very large burners, still use the aforementioned trick.

Awesome. I find myself frequently trying to explain the fact that CDMX's sounds are so iconic. This site does a much better job than I ever could. A glaring omission in my opinion is the camote (sweet potato) steam whistle, which has a

I mean I'm hardly an expert on your business but it seems to me like you might want to put that front and center at the very top of your website. "Read 30 to 300% faster with Beeline." Cool stuff!

Can you describe such a situation? As far as my thought process goes, the horn is meant to attract attention, and lights only help that purpose. If you are driving on a dark road with traffic coming on the opposite lane (the only situation
