After teaching differentiation of sin x and cos x for 30 years, yesterday I was given a slightly different perspective by @drbennison.bsky.social. For any version of the standard curve with period 2π, so f(x)=rsin(x+α) or f(x)=rcos(x+α), f′(x)=f(x+π/2) #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists.” I think one of the ways we blur this distinction is to say that if you can’t measure a distinction it doesn’t exist.

Here's an example of an easily contested 'fact' given by AI. I asked what the fastest ever time was at parkrun by a 50-year old and was told it was 18:46. This is nonsense - I know of at least two 50 year olds personally who've run under 18 minutes!

So ... I think I might currently hold a parkrun run record: longest time to reach 100 parkruns. It's taken me 16 years and 22 days. I'm not sure many people will be able to beat is I've got a very low parkrun number and most others will have stopped or already reached 100.
