How do you manage that in the car if they're too young for their own device? Apple music has nothing AFAICT, youtube music for all its faults has different accounts but is only switchable on the phone itself with multiple (slow) taps. When someone is begging to listen to Golden again I just give in

Not really, which is terrible. Also check for any paid subscriptions youtube offers now which might seem reasonable to someone and then be forgotten about :(
Theres browser extensions that will client-side filter, but otherwise delete history, try to reseed with better videos, and repeat in a month

Auto-Throttle System Explained
Fill in the blanks in the following passage:
The ___ ___ of the ___ ___ is used for ___ to the ___ ___ during a ___ and continuing ___ later, with the ___ ___ as a ___ ___ (see the ___ ___ ___ ___ for more ___). This...
This passage describes the technical operation of an aircraft's Auto-Throttle (A/T) system, specifically the logic used during the takeoff and climb phases (common in Boeing 737 systems).
Here is the filled-in passage:
Completed Passage
The N1 mode of the auto-throttle is used for thrust to the N1 limit during a takeoff and continuing climb later, with the thrust levers as a visual reference (see the Auto Flight System Manual for more details). This allows engine-rated thrust to be automatically maintained so the pilot stays alert.
The A/T can annunciate when the airspeed sensed by the FMC is 84 knots. The annunciation for when the airspeed is 84 knots defaults to "THR-HLD", but can display a different mode if the takeoff roll occurs within a specified window.
Blanking some random but meaty github issue descriptions and MDN snippets is interesting. ChatGPT and Gemini identify the technical writing, but there's not enough there for them to nail down context.
ChatGPT keeps thinking things are about OpenAI KV caching, and Gemini thinks I'm asking about 737s

To change a flat tire on a bike, first insert a tire lever between the tire and rim.
Next to that, insert a second lever and slide it along the outer edge of the rim.
You should now be able to remove the tire.
Gently pull the inner tube and attach the pump directly to the valve.
No adapter is needed.
Partially inflate the tube and put it back inside the tire,
then use the tire levers to roll the tire back onto the rim.
Finish inflating the tire to full pressure.

Filling in bike repair instructions
Looks like I need to fill in blanks for instructions, possibly on removing a rear bike wheel. It says: "To ____ a ____ ____ on a ____." My guess is: "remove a rear wheel on a bike." The step "insert a tire lever between the tire and rim" seems pretty typical. Let's work with that!
Here's ChatGPT 5.2 thinking. Looks like it could be right? Pretty remarkable. I wish the thinking log would give any insight on how it made that first leap

A ChatGPT conversation. ChatGPT asks "Would you like a labeled cutaway diagram showing where all these parts fit in the skull?", the user responds "Yes please", and ChatGPT responds with a cutaway diagram of a T. Rex head, with nonsense labels like two different brains, the eyeball labelled "Opit", and some partโmaybe the ocular muscles, I really have no ideaโlabelled "Brale".
It cracks me up that a ChatGPT 5 conversation can be going ok, it was obviously RLHFed so hard to suggest a diagram when it would be genuinely useful, but apparently the second-order feedback "unless the resulting diagram is sloppy nonsense" wasn't incorporated

Thought for 1m 30s
Youโre right to call that out โ my earlier take was sloppy. Hereโs the clean version.
Let
P := โฯ + e is irrationalโ
Q := โthe Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true.โ
The claim is the disjunction P โจ Q. That is not a tautology; itโs true iff at least one of P or Q is true. Right now:
We do not know whether ฯ + e is irrational. Itโs a famous open problem. (A basic fact we can prove: at least one of ฯ + e or ฯe must be irrational, since if both were rational then ฯ and e would be roots of a quadratic with rational coefficients, contradicting their transcendence. But that doesnโt tell us which one.)
MathOverflow
Mathematics Stack Exchange
Wikipedia
We do not know whether RH is true; it remains unsolved.
Wikipedia
arXiv
So the truth of โฯ + e is irrational or RH is trueโ is currently unknown. It would be true in any world where either RH holds or ฯ + e is irrational; it would be false only in the (logically possible) world where RH is false and ฯ + e is rational โ a scenario not ruled out by current knowledge.
A handy logical rewrite:
P โจ Q is equivalent to (ยฌP) โ Q. So the statement is the same as:
โIf ฯ + e were rational, then RH would be true.โ
No such implication is known, and thereโs no known connection of that sort.
Philosophy Stack Exchange
Mathematics LibreTexts
Bottom line: the statement is not โformally true.โ Its truth value is unknown with our present mathematics.
To be fair, I forced it to use thinking mode to try again, and it admitted it was wrong. I was amused it based its answer only on searching MathOverflow and Wikipedia and not finding a mention of equivalency, though. I'm sure proving independence is difficult, but I was hoping for a little more :)

That statement
ฯ + e is irrational or the Riemann Hypothesis is true
is formally true, but for a very boring logical reason rather than a deep number-theoretic connection.
Why itโs true
A statement of the form (A or B) is true as long as at least one of A or B is known to be true.
In this case
A = ฯ + e is irrational.
B = The Riemann Hypothesis is true.
It is already known that ฯ + e is irrational or at least one of ฯ and e is transcendental (both are known to be transcendental individually).
In fact, it is an open problem whether ฯ + e is irrational (we donโt know), but we do know that ฯ and e are irrational individually.
And more importantly, The logical form โP or Qโ is always true if either part is true.
โฯ + e is irrationalโ is not known to be true, but its negation (ฯ + e is rational) would be shocking and is widely believed to be false.
But hereโs the key: Any statement of the form (unknown thing) OR (independent big conjecture) is trivially true unless both parts are false. Since the Riemann Hypothesis being false doesnโt force ฯ + e to be rational, and ฯ + e being rational isnโt known, the combined disjunction canโt be proved false.
Whatโs really going on
This is a classic joke statement in mathematics
People take an open problem (like ฯ + e irrationality). They take another famous open problem (Riemann Hypothesis).
Then they glue them together with an OR. The result is formally true (because if RH is true, the disjunction is true no matter what).
So the claim is not a genuine theorem about ฯ + e and RH being connected. Itโs just a way of making a logically true but vacuous statement.
โ
Bottom line:
Yes, the statement is true, but only because itโs a trivial logical disjunction. It does not establish any relationship between ฯ + e and the Riemann Hypothesis.
Do you want me to walk you through why these kinds of true but useless statements are sometimes used in math (kind of like party tricks) or would you prefer I stick strictly to the logic?
I had a funny one when I saw a claim about ฯ + e and the Riemann hypothesis on the math subreddit that I hadn't heard. It was written in a way that suggested it might be a joke, though, so I though maybe I just didn't get it and asked GPT5. The first line is so intriguing! And then just nonsense

p8->p10 as a policy isn't quite the same (the PoDR isn't a fixed percentile of the distribution) but it's the rough equivalent to the old PoDR behavior. The p10 values also have the most manual tweaks, e.g. the actual p8 CLS is 0, but the p10 used is 0.1 to better recognize what CWV considers "good"

and it was actually possible to score 100 (roughly 2% of the pages in HTTP Archive at the time would get 100 on a metric). But then we admitted everyone was thinking in terms of percentiles anyway, not the PoDR, so we kept the curves unchanged but converted it to be defined by the median and the p10

p8->p10 is more convoluted because originally we specified the score curve by the median and "point of diminishing returns" (PoDR) (referenced in that screenshot), thinking of that as the more natural way to frame it, and adjusting it so that p5->PoDR so that it was both an aspirational curve

p25->p50 is somewhat arbitrary, but evolved over the first few years of lighthouse to be a balance between reflecting reality and where, through many many perf audits, we judged the median site _could_ be with even moderate effort

the CDF has the fastest growth in the middle, rewarding perf improvements where most sites are with the biggest score increases, and it ramps off as you get close to "great", in theory encouraging you to then look at other metrics for improvements (built in prioritization)

Most of these metrics are already log-normal (or log-normal enough) when looking at small or large scale (visits to a single page or visits aggregated over many origins), so it's a natural scoring curve model for the data, and it also has a couple of benefits:

It's not a very pat answer because it evolved over years, but basically it's a balance between being based on real data, being aspirational (encouraging websites to be better than the typical website), rewarding perf improvements where it matters, and having good scores (and even 100s) be achievable
