Or the blanking circuit itself - if the signal activating it is ringing for some reason the beam can do this too

Check the video amplifier section caps, during horizontal retrace the blanking circuit kills the beam and those caps are able to fully recharge during retrace. Once the beam gets turned back on, if those caps are iffy they can oscillate and run out of power before the end of the line

I had the same thought the moment I saw it

Two years ago today I made this little love letter to Harmontown. Thank you so much again to everyone who helped out with the chorus, made it much more special!

I have a bottle of the rare thanksgiving turkey flavored Malört which somehow made it worse on multiple levels

Yeah, I'm gonna make that a habit. It seemed fine for me until maybe a month ago. Sorry man, this has to be so infuriating for you. :(

Quick math, the average age showing up on my feed now is about 5 years old, and about 40% is stuff that the red bar shows I've already watched. You're by far the #1 channel I watch on YouTube, and I scrolled until I got bored and didn't see anything of yours even though i haven't seen the last 3.

Something has definitely changed lately the more I think about it. I'm barely seeing your stuff, but it's constantly recommending the same 3 ashens videos from 10+ years ago, one specific video year old video from BPS space that it knows I've already seen, etc. Are you seeing a surge on old videos?

I slightly helped make an official Strong Bad & Homestar music video that has replaced The Cheat’s rave music for the song that’s stuck in my brain now when I see Strong Bad.

Burninate The House, inspired by the Talking Heads song: youtu.be/pwCMLMktDkA

Sorry, this took a bit to figure out - I was bulk running it on someone else's inference server that had a ton of these models on it. I was wrong, this wasn't one of the tuned/merged models, this one came from GLM-4.5 just with a jailbreak system prompt telling it to make everything maximally sexual

@simonwillison.net I'm sure I'm not the first person to try this, but running your pelican test on some of the horny/abliterated models is horrifyingly hilarious. Some of the comments on the SVG are perfect. gist.github.com/kdkd/84c0453...

We’re going to blink and one day wake up to this

That's what would have made this so hilarious, the commitment to the bit hahaha

I choose to believe that you guys just happened to be in the same room and decided to shoot that today, just to respond to a social media post

This is a great "Wag the Dog 2", where Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro's characters aren't as good at their jobs as they think they are.

Awww, i was going to email you this weekend to see if you wanted my minidisc collection and/or some good for gaming pro CRTs, but if you're downsizing I'll take that as a "not right now"! 💽

I will, and I will declare that day Kevin Day.

When you hopefully run and win as president, I sincerely hope you repeat those words verbatim as your closing remarks during your first state of the union address.

Just imagine the amount of overeager correctness comments when they hear about inductive load… Your description is and always is fine, you have to hand wave over minutia or your videos will be 12 hours long and people will still compete to find something you didn’t cover.

One day I really want to hear you read to me:

“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

I'm super excited to watch this film about the 1980's game show scandal where a guy named Michael Larson figured out and memorized the pattern on the game board and won more on a game show than anyone in history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dw_...

Are they metal? They look like milling machine T-slots you can use to install clamps or guides. If that’s not what those are that’d be an awesome invention to keep long pieces pressed against the fence

Is that what the "immaculate confection" thing I keep hearing about means?

I grew up in the same small Nebraska town that Johnny Carson grew up in. I'd love to talk about him and how much he did for that town, but looking at the viewer age demographics for the show... I don't think most of them have even heard of him or can share in that kinda nostalgia :(

As a proud owner of one of these, it looks amazing on my office bookshelf!

I've seen this where bolts are made of extremely poor alloys that are much softer than the steel hex key. They'll slowly round themselves off as they're being screwed in, with the hex key/driver almost acting like a cutting tool as you give it that final tighten.

Did you know that on most WPC games you can press Start on some switch, individual lamp or solenoid tests to get more info about which fuse, drive transistor and other info to check? (Depending on however much the individual dev for that game cared to populate the table)

The most terrifying thing my model X occasionally does is show multiple pedestrians running behind me coming towards the car, when I’m driving at highway speeds. I expect to see some kind of zombie horror in my rear view mirror every time.
