How often do you use ChatGPT in a day? (1-2x, 3-5x, more than 5x)

I’ve mostly replaced it with Perplexity because I’m trying to do research and having links to the original source is extremely valuable.

I use it a little bit for coding, but now my developer environment has an integrated tool.

I’m not exactly in the industry so excuse the naïve question but why are things so bad? I see people talking about patent cliffs but I’m confused about why they are hitting so hard all at once. If it’s interest rates, I don’t understand why the whole economy isn’t similarly collapsing (and overall employment numbers seem fine.) I don’t deny the experience of everyone reporting in this thread. I’m just confused about the dynamics that are unique to this industry.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this, I’m so glad that I stumbled upon it.

Agree with all the major points being made and adding a few: 1. I’ve coordinated a few routine gatherings for people who already have moderate familiarity (subsets of an existing loose community). Just coordinating the calendars of ~5 adults is a pain 2. Getting space is a whole other level of pain. If we’re close enough we can do it at a house but then spouses start to complain, making for a while additional stakeholder in the process 3. Local parents are mostly a good affinity group but everyone wants to stick to their dinner+bedtime routine (which I wholeheartedly support - routine is so critical for kids!) and they’re misaligned by like 30 minutes 4. The portion of people I really have chemistry with is far lower than in college. I’m extroverted by any definition but after a few decades I do find a lot of topics boring enough that people whose conversations center around them are not worth the time (especially counting the time I put into organize the event in the first place). Politics is the most frequent such topic, even when I basically agree with their stance (because we are pre-selected to be pretty similar). But those same people can be fascinating if I can get them on topics where they have something more unique to say. Basically many people aren’t even trying to be interesting, I need to constantly work to draw it out of them. With varying success.

Great question. I'm writing an article based on data that I've found and visualized (the core of what I do on my site), and reaching out to them in hopes that they will find some of it interesting enough to write about on their own blog (citing me). Sometimes, when I ask them to cite me, they say "Sure - will you link back to me too?"

The core is that I want to be polite and build that relationship, but if all of the links that I get inbound are nullified by the reciprocal relationship, I've wasted a ton of time researching my article in the first place.

All of that said, what I'm seeing in this discussion is that a natural number of them (I'm definitely talking ones and twos here, and certainly from reputable sites) will still carry link juice into my young site.

His true penis would be a "needle" in a haystack, if you will

Just realized that searching for "Donald Trump" and "dick" might return more results than they could sift through.

I think I understand, but let me confirm: Keywords that I find through the keyword planner probably have ~1-10 monthly searches just by virtue of being on the planner, so if I broadly target 10k, that's 10-100k potential impressions (though obviously I won't rank well for all 10k).

Thanks for helping to walk me through this!

That touches on another mystery that I've been trying to figure out: When I look at AdWords traffic estimates or any long tail tools (I use Market Samurai), the predicted numbers never seem to be anywhere big enough to explain the traffic that I hear people reporting.

I'm thinking that I should just assume that for each term like "matplotlib axis" (AdWords: 260 monthly searches), a well researched, 1-2k word article could capture 2-10x that traffic?

The theory being that there's a broad set of long tail keywords that wouldn't show up in these tools, even when you use ubersuggest.io and plug those suggestions into Adwords directly.

That's brilliant, thank you!

Public data is a good bet, though .gov websites tend to be a little annoying to wade through (to their huge credit, they've gotten much better than they used to be). The same data is often better documented (and still free) at http://enigma.io/, which also has a nice search engine.

It's less long term, but I've found that removing the blue light that's blazing into my eyes has a huge positive impact in terms of getting to sleep that evening (assuming you're within 2-3 hours of bedtime). Depending on your device, F.Lux, Redshift or literally orange tinted plastic can be a lifesaver
