On the other hand, is shows that pedestrians and cyclists have the same rate of fatalities per mile traveled.

So better to not walk or cycle and just stick to your car /s

To quickly do the calculations:

Walking: 5 km/h * 70kg = 97 kgm/s

e-bike: 20 km/h * 90 kg = 500 kgm/s

car: 50 km/h * 2000kg = 28,000 kgm/s

People sometimes die due to collisions pedestrians.

Should it be illegal for people to walk around drunk as well?

Completely agree for a push bike, but with an e-bike it's a different ball game.

Also in the US the max ebike power is 850W! More than enough to carry you up the steepest hills.

Some numbers from 2021 in the UK:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casua...

> Chart 4 shows that, again, in terms of absolute numbers, cars are the vehicle type most often involved in fatal collisions when others are killed, followed by HGVs and Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs). Very few other road users are killed in collisions with pedal cyclists or pedestrians (5 and 6 respectively in 2021).

> - weather might make the ride unpleasant;

As the Dutch like to say: there is no such thing as bad cycling weather, only bad cycling clothes.

I would strongly recommond a pair of water/wind proof trousers to go over your regular trousers, if you don't already have some. This has lead to a much more pleasant riding experience, especially in winter. They aren't very practical on a regular bike as they make you uncomfortably hot, but on an e-bike, it's much less of a worry.

You can do multi-shot, which reduces the need for a good prompt upfont.

This is similar to my process.

However, I also use ChatGPT to make the updates for me, adding additional information and context, which I then ask to be integrated into the document (e.g. update the introduction to include...)

Article about it here: https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/openai-shifts-from-nonprof...

> Profits emerging from the LP in excess of the 100x multiplier go to the nonprofit, which will use it to run educational programs and advocacy work.

> The board [of the non-profit] is limited to a minority of financially interested parties, and only non-interested members can vote on “decisions where the interests of limited partners and OpenAI Nonprofit’s mission may conflict”

It's just good at writing, it's contextual understanding is bad (at first).

But give it context and it flies. Ask it to write a cover letter for an engineering role, it will turn out mediocre crap.

Give it the actual role and your CV in the prompts, you're pretty much good to go. It's unique, you still control the narrative (please highlight my ability to work under pressure) and it's done in 10 secs.

I really don't see what isn't to love about that.

Also it usually writes better if you tell to write well.
