Just ChatGPT? Or are the rest also just as capable at delusioning users?

I'm very confused because there are 2 Andrews, the author in the blog post only states "Andrew", and by the list of Authors the author seems to be Andrew Gelman, but the slug in the first link is "aking", and then there is also Andrew King, lol.

Andrew King seems to be the person who published the original exposé of the paper:

> The above story came from my occasional collaborator Andy King [...]


> the author in the blog post only states "Andrew"

If you click on that "Andrew", it takes you to [0] which is clear that it's Gelman.

One wonders why this sort of research isn’t in academia but in startups instead.


Where in academia can one get a Billion (with a b) dollars to research something?


Archived in 3… 2… 1…


I’m an early fan (Polymer, anyone?) but somehow the mindshare is just not there and trying to evangelize it to mainstream was too much. So now it just kinda there for people to slowly discover when they run into niche use cases.

I added a shim. Can you try now?


Thanks for comment. It's the Rails default, will look into it. The latest Opera definitely supported, are you sure you can't upgrade?


Made this site. Let me know your thoughts!


The site is beautiful and very responsive. Thanks for putting this together.

One suggestion, maybe for a later iteration, is to improve the description of the companies and the "similar companies".

For example, I know what Zscaler is but its description is somewhat of a word salad. "Zscaler, Inc. operates as a cloud security company worldwide. The company offers Zscaler Internet Access solution that provides users, workloads, IoT, and OT devices secure access to externally managed applications, including software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and internet destinations; and Zscaler Private Access solution, which is designed to provide access to managed applications hosted internally in data centers, and private or public clouds."

Personally, I would write a two sentence description and provide a link to the official company About Us page. For Zscaler, I would write something like: Headquartered in San Jose, California USA, Zscaler is a cloud security company. Its products include a Zscaler Secure Internet Access solution, Private Access solution, and Digital Experience solution. For further reading, refer to xxx.

Because the descriptions are a bit vague, the "similar companies" for Zscaler include: Microsoft and Oracle which is a bit questionable. I appreciate the comparison to Palantir, Crowdstrike, and Palo Alto Networks.


Hey thanks. Yeah it is a bit too long because it comes from a data provider. I simply can't write a shortened summary for 30000 companies. But point taken.

The similar companies is purely industry segmentation, which can never be 100% correct. Different sites use different providers for segmentation and this is the best one I settled on.


I'm surprised but not surprised. Books get delivered 2-3 months later, if they ever get delivered at all. Need to contact support for replacement. End up preferring to pay the premium at local booksellers than buying from Book Depo. How do they even make money like this.


This is really weird, where are you having the books delivered to?

I’ve never once had this experience and I’ve ordered at least 100 books from the book depository, for delivery to the Middle East.


Same here, I'm from South America and I've never had a problem


I've never had these issues


I've never had that issue. My pre-orders usually arrive within a couple of weeks of release date.

Too bad that I have a pre-order for a June release with them.


Regularly order to HK and they usually come within a week or so.


sorry, I'm from Malaysia
