Mapping grocery proximity in Chicago

The public work

The guide projects Chicago community areas and grocery locations into a metric coordinate system, buffers stores by one kilometre, and displays intersection and difference maps. It defines coverage geometrically.

What to notice

Distance calculations depend on projection and units. Geometric proximity is an explicit proxy whose limitations belong next to the map.

Keep the context

Circular proximity does not measure walking routes, prices, opening hours, accessibility or population served. The historical example data is not a current service-coverage census.

AI use: Not reported in the source.

The inspected source does not report AI-assistant use by its authors.

A useful public example is not an assessment of a reader, a publisher or a Better Loop member.

Use material you are allowed to work with. This suggestion is preparation; it does not record a completed task or an improvement.

A prompt to adapt privately

Using local copies of the guide’s Chicago datasets, reproduce the grocery buffers and overlay maps. Check projection units before buffering. Write a short planning note explaining what proximity can establish and what additional evidence would be needed to assess practical access.

A check to adapt

The buffer distance uses metres; overlay outputs retain source identifiers; the interpretation distinguishes geometric proximity from practical access and population coverage.

Private practice needs no account. Your configured model provider may process the evidence you select.

Compare audio and visuals before summarizing video

OpenAI’s notebook processes a real DevDay recap into frames and audio, then prints summaries and answers from visual input, audio-derived text, and both together. The differing outputs make missing context visible.

Accounting for food-system emissions

Hannah Ritchie’s analysis visualizes food emissions using Poore and Nemecek’s published meta-analysis. It separates livestock, crops, land use and supply-chain contributions, explaining category boundaries and the distinction between food-system and global totals.

Control summary detail without confusing length and quality

OpenAI summarizes a Wikipedia article about artificial intelligence using different chunk counts and a detail parameter. The notebook prints summaries and their lengths, including a recursive variant that supplies earlier summaries as context.
