Wikipedia article has photos

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube_battery


This article is a bit odd. It does mention the "B" vacuum tube batteries you linked in that Wikipedia page, but B-size batteries are not the same thing. The article kinda mentions this ("voltage range of 45 to 90" vs 1.5v) but overall just conflates the two.


I think the oddness is the LLM content generator conflating information about the 2 types of batteries.


Yeah I was wondering if it might be LLM generated, it just seems so pointless though. Additionally while the date could obviously be fake, June 2022 is before ChatGPT came out.


It's almost as if the shortest possible designations are most likely collision candidates.

Those aren't B batteries, they're "B" batteries. You can tell because there's also a photo of a "C" battery that isn't cylindrical.

There's a photo of an actual B battery here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:B-AA-battery.jpg

Linked from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes


The B battery referred to in the article is a vacuum tube battery.

The B battery you linked, is an carbon-zinc/alkaline battery and against that the comment says -

> Most commonly found within a European 4.5-volt lantern battery. Not to be confused with the vacuum tube B battery


This is a latern battery. You put other batteries in it. That's why it's called the 3R12. There are 3x R12 batteries in it.

I remember seeing something like these in roadwork flashing lanterns.

You should create your own gist and add the explanations and then post that gist here.

I'm sure it'll be very useful to lots of people.


Thanks for the idea. I've had to stop focusing on learning React because I found I didn't know enough JavaScript so I'm not confident enough to post any gist about anything presently. I did a JavaScript course 10 years ago after finishing CS50 online but due to a sudden change in family circumstances I had to take a long break from learning programming.

However, thanks to cline, aider, supermaven and v0, I decided that I could now learn enough JavaScript/React/React Native to pair program with AI code generation tools and replace the need for a technical co-founder going forwards.

I'm about halfway through the freecodecamp JavaScript Course and so far so good. The AI code generation tools for VS Codium are insane and I'm certain I'll be launching webapps and mobile apps in no time.

Why is it sad?


Hard to see how casinos are much more exploitative than Silicon Valley social media companies. And they sponsor lots of tech.
