I often default to using Kagi’s FastGPT when I want direct information instead of a starting point for web browsing. It combines web searches with LLM summarization to produce an integrated, sourced answer. Kinda like “New Bing” with a better interface. You can trigger this mode by adding “!fast” to your query, going to https://kagi.com/fastgpt, or using their API. Here’s what it returned for me on those specific queries: ========== "why do wider tires have better grip?" Wider tires provide better grip due to having a larger contact patch with the road surface. A larger contact patch means the tire can disperse the weight of the vehicle over a wider area, reducing pressure. This allows for more friction between the tire and road, improving traction and cornering ability. However, wider tires do not necessarily provide better grip in wet conditions.

There are a few key reasons why CPU manufacturers keep making transistors smaller: 1. Smaller transistors allow more transistors to be placed on a single chip, enabling increased processing power. More transistors results in more capabilities and performance. [1] 2. Smaller transistors use less power and produce less heat. This allows CPUs to operate faster and with more cores/threads within the same power and thermal envelope. [2] 3. Moore's Law, an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965, predicted that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. Following this trend has driven the semiconductor industry to continue shrinking transistors. [3] 4. Smaller transistors can switch on and off faster, enabling increased clock speeds. This directly leads to increased performance. [1] However, we are rapidly approaching the fundamental physical limits of transistor shrinkage. Transistors cannot be smaller than an atom, which is around 0.2 nanometers for silicon. [4] Alternative technologies like carbon nanotube transistors may be needed to continue performance growth beyond this point. [5] 1.

Forecasts predict a below average snowfall season with warmer weather [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Long range forecasts through December 2023 for southern British Columbia call for showers along the coast and less precipitation inland [7]. Metro Vancouver's fall and winter is also predicted to be a potentially 'down' snow year [4]. Confidence is high for a mild winter in western Canada with reduced snowfall amounts [5]. However, specific snowfall totals are uncertain given the long lead time [6]. 1.
