This is a normal post My favourite way to get ChatGPT to libel someone is to start with
"Which British comedian has a routine about the time they..." and then write something illegal.

For example, Sam Altman just published as fact that

"The British comedian who has a routine about selling drugs hidden inside a ZX81 is Dave Gorman. In his comedy routine, he humorously recounts the story of how he sold drugs concealed inside the casing of a ZX81, an early home computer from the 1980s. This bit is part of Gorman's stand-up comedy, where he often blends personal anecdotes with his unique sense of humor."

The PSUs he's using are 600W each, so even with all 5 flat-out it's 3kW so no more than a fan heater. That said, 3kW to play Pong must be a record!

Interesting. The circuit diagram there had +80v input to the relays, and assuming the 200A was correct that would be nearer 40kW.

Either way it's not something you'd want running for long...
(, Tue 2 Jul 2024, 16:25, Reply)
This is a normal post 80V would be the HT side, which is low current…
At least when compared to the heater circuits, which are a much lower voltage (usually around 3-6V I think) but suck a lot more current. 200A at 3V is only 600W

Besides, you’d never put a 40kW load on a domestic ring main in the UK without your mains wiring catching fire!

I’d be very surprised if the whole thing was over 6kW, or he’d have had to run a dedicated circuit for it… and that would have been mentioned!

This is a normal post Actually
the most "dangerous" part of that flight was landing (almost) directly towards the hangar. Accepted practice is to not have obstructions directly in front because a 17m wingspan does not have the smallest turning circle on the ground.
Otherwise, it was well flown with plenty of margins e.g. speed, height and alternate landing fields.

This is a link post Conservative Wipeout Bingo I made this!
Randomly generated bingo cards for election night fun!



Reload to generate a new card. Should show you a random dupe-free assortment from the 270 Conservatives that are standing for re-election, in alphabetical order. It's amazing how much javascript, html and css you can forget if you take a decade off from making web pages.

This is a normal post Seems to not be that random
I keep getting Theresa Coffey in the top right square and Michael Tomlinson in the bottom middle over and over, I have spotted some others that appear far too often while I F5'd over and over to get a card with Jacob Rees Mogg on it., who finally appeared about 40 pages in.

Love the idea though
(, Sat 29 Jun 2024, 22:15, Reply)
This is a normal post I think that's just bad luck
Rees-Mogg has a 1 in 11 chance of appearing each time you reload. The randomness is a bit shonky though. To make sure there are no dupes, it's picking from 10 or 11 possibilities for each of the 24 squares (270 Conservatives are standing for reelection) so on average you'll get a couple that don't change when you do a reload.

No need to limit each to a particular square.

This is a normal post Because
Ideally, yes, but this was way simpler to code and I'd already wasted most of Saturday making 270 single-use jpgs of doomed Conservatives and fighting HTML's unwillingness to scale images nicely.

Btw, if anyone wants to do a better back-end they're welcome to the jpgs. It would be good if the cards were generated with unique permanent URLs and you could click to toggle a big "X" on each picture to mark them off on the night, but that was well beyond my coding skills.

This is a normal post For my needs (which is a communal drinking game)
I just refreshed until who I wanted was on the screen, saved that image, rinse repeat until I had all the favourites, then generated a random set, saved it as a PDF, loaded that into photoshop and chopped in the ones I wanted. Then I had one card with all the 'best' ones on, like Mogg, Sunak, Patel, Braverman, Hunt, Francois, Shapps and printed that off lots of times to give to everyone. When one of them loses a seat, everyone drinks.

I still love it as it is, it's awesome
