How so? Here are the facts: 1. TCI writes a letter to Google saying that they should layoff employees. 2. A few weeks later, Google lays off employees. 3. Literally the day the Google layoffs are announced, TCI writes a letter to Google say

Only part of my learning was from direct question answering. Seeing how senior people worked also helped a lot. E.g. over hearing a design discussion or seeing how they debugged outages was very helpful to me. Those things are very hard to

That's a good point about showing work. I originally opted to avoid having it show work for brevity's sake, but it's possible that by "showing work" ChatGPT is storing enough context to compute the answer. So, I ask

True, but in the case of tobacco establishing a causal relationship was studied, e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13116124/ (1953). Trying the same with RF-EMF would be an obvious next step. Just a personal opinion
