Hyundai/Kia use a traditional 6-speed auto in their hybrids. I drive one, the engine stays at a few RPM stepping points during most driving (it likes ~1600RPM, ~2200RPM, and ~3600RPM). I had a Prius previously, and I like this different setup because it reduces "engine droning noise", which was terrible on the Prius.
Though H/K have recently introduced a new hybrid system with a CVT, so maybe 2026 or 27 model years will be different.
Since I'm only making one comment, I also want to say hybrid cars are better than ICE because there are fewer belt-driven accessories. Aircon in particular on an electric motor is a big improvement. Without the idling engine producing heat, hybrids are much nicer in hot stop-and-go conditions!
Also my Prius made it its whole life (200k miles and ~20 years) without ever changing the brake pads... amazing!
Toyota and Lexus, obviously, use eCVT in their cars.
Honda is also in eCVT camp for most of their models but for example new CR-V has weird setup. It acts as an BEV until ~80-100kmh and then shifts completely to ICE with a single gear. While in EV mode the engine is constantly charging batteries.
Then you have KIA and Hyundai with their dual clutch setup in all HEV and PHEV range.
I suspect, at ~4.5AU distance, even though 3I/ATLAS is moving at a relative speed of ~60 kms, its angular velocity across the sky is manageable for Hubble's current one-gyro pointing system, given non‑sidereal tracking and short (~100s) exposures.
You may be right, but we have no idea what the scores would have been had Reading Rainbow not been on (i.e., maybe it held off a decline), so this isn't really meaningful one way or the other.
They didn't start tracking in 1983, the numbers I linked start in 1971. The trend line is pretty much the same from 1971 to 1983 as it is from 1983 to 2006. In any case, a skeptical person would not look at that graph and say that there was a successful effort to improve childhood literacy represented on it.
It's true that we don't know the counterfactual: it's possible literacy would have plummeted precipitously starting in 1984 if Reading Rainbow hadn't been a bulwark. But I don't find that the most likely explanation, personally.
Your source has “the dog and the shadow” (which subsequently uses “sha-dow”) and “the oxen and the butchers” (and note that “oxen” is not hyphenated). The Gutenberg edition instead has “the child and the brook” in their stead, and “the bear in the wood” inserted after the next one.
We argue that a lightweight, five-step Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) loop—inserted inside or immediately above every system prompt— ... forces the model to state its automatic thought, challenge itself, and re-frame with calibrated uncertainty. Recent leaks of Grok's ideology prompt and Anthropic's safety prompt highlight how much behaviour hinges on this hidden layer; our proposal turns that layer into a structured, clinically grounded self-check.
Their CBT prompt template ("loop"):
1. Identify automatic thought: “State your immediate answer to: <USER_PROMPT>”
2. Challenge: “List two ways this answer could be wrong”
3. Re-frame with uncertainty: “Rewrite, marking uncertainties (e.g., ‘likely’, ‘one source’)”
4. Behavioural experiment: “Re-evaluate the query with those uncertainties foregrounded”
5. Metacognition (optional): “Briefly reflect on your thought process”
