I'm impressed with OpenAI https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/ capability to generate working codes.

Here's one of my simple questions:

Q How to create a javascript countdown to 2023?

and the returned answer:

QUOTE

Here's one way to create a JavaScript countdown to 2023:

First, create a Date object for the target date (2023) using the Date constructor:

CODE

const targetDate = new Date(2023, 0, 1); // January 1, 2023

Next, create a function that calculates the time remaining until the target date and returns it as a string. This function can use the Date object's getTime() method to get the current time, and then subtract that from the target date's time to find the time remaining. It can then use the Date object's getTime() method to convert that time into a human-readable format, such as days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Here's an example of what that function might look like:

CODE

Finally, use setInterval() to call the getTimeRemaining() function repeatedly, at a regular interval (such as every second). This will update the countdown display with the latest time remaining.
Here's an example of how you might use setInterval() to call the getTimeRemaining() function every second:

CODE

setInterval(() => {
const timeRemaining = getTimeRemaining(); // calculate time remaining
console.log(timeRemaining); // log time remaining to the console
}, 1000); // call getTimeRemaining() every second

You can use the timeRemaining string returned by getTimeRemaining() to display the countdown on your webpage using a <p> element or some other HTML element.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

It can come up with some algorithms that might take us hours to code, surely a big help for us programmers so that we can concentrate on the bigger logic and let openai do the details.

Entries and judging

You should submit your solution via this web page. The judge will run your programme using test data (which is not published). No feedback will be given prior to the end of the competition.

The Question - Decathlon

The Decathlon is a sporting competition comprising ten events which is usually run over the course of two days. The events are of three types:

Running: 100m, 110m hurdles, 400m and 1,500m.
Throwing: Discus, javelin and shot put.
Jumping: Long jump, high jump and pole vault.
When calculating the scores for competitors:

Running events are measured in seconds (the time taken to run from start to finish).
Throwing events are measured in metres (the distance the piece of equipment is thrown).
Jumping events are measured in centimetres (the height or distance jumped/vaulted).
The points formulae are as follows, and are taken from the scoring template of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). Note that:

P is the number of points scored for the event in question by a competitor.
T is the time in seconds the competitor took to run a race.
M is the measurement in centimetres for jumps.
D is the distance in metres achieved in a throwing event.
T is the time in seconds for running events.
A, B and C are taken from the table below.

CODE

Event Abbreviation A B C
100m 100m 25.4347 18 1.81
110m hurdles 110m 5.74352 28.5 1.92
400m 400m 1.53775 82 1.81
1500m 1500m 0.03768 480 1.85
Discus Discus 12.91 4 1.1
Javelin Javelin 10.14 7 1.08
Shot put Shot 51.39 1.5 1.05
Long jump Long 0.14354 220 1.4
High jump High 0.8465 75 1.42
Pole vault Pole 0.2797 100 1.35

For running events: P = A(B-T)C
For throwing events: P = A(D-B)C
For jumping events: P = A(M-B)C
In all cases P should be rounded down if it is not already an integer. So for instance 49.99 would round down to 49.

For example, a 100m time of 10.2 seconds would be calculated as 25.4347 x (18-10.2)1.81, which works out to 1047.412736, which in turn rounds down to 1047 points.

1PC with 6 HDMI output possible?

nyem — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:02:07 +0800

I need to connect a PC to 6 TVs via HDMI.

Currently cannot find a display card with more than two HDMIs, most are with 2 HDMI, 1 DVI & 1 RGB. RGB resolution is low making it not consistent with HDMI output. Not sure about the DVi resolution though.

Tried to look at video-wall solution but they deal mostly with video output, I'll be displaying web apps from browsers. Those TVs are already in place so cannot ask for smart-TVs with built-in browsers.

Monitors suitable for video wall

nyem — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:29:09 +0800

I'm tying to create a video wall with 8 monitors in my office but can't seem to find cheap one with at least 1 usb port and vesa mount. LED TV with usb port + vesa mount are plentily available and much cheaper but I'm concerned on their display quality as the screens will be used to display text rather than videos.

Any suggestions?

Astro cannot calculate

nyem — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:23:03 +0800

Got an SMS from Astro to upgrade my package via http://www.astro.com.my/getastro/packages/...lineup.asp?x=up but there must be something wrong with their calculation when I get 2 different results for whatever I chose

Looking at the code I see lots of else if statements.

CODE

total_price=total_price;
if (FinalMatrix=="1,0,0") { //family
total_price = "37.95";
}else if (FinalMatrix=="1,2,0") { //family+2mini
total_price = "49.95";
}else if (FinalMatrix=="1,3,0") { //family+3mini
total_price = "54.95";
}else if (FinalMatrix=="1,4,0") { //family+4mini
total_price = "69.95";
}else if (FinalMatrix=="4,0,0") { //family+Movies
total_price = "75.95";
}else if (FinalMatrix=="4,2,0") { //family+Movies+2mini
total_price = "84.95";
...

Anyone can suggest a better (and correct) algorithm?

number of files per folder limitation

nyem — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 12:50:13 +0800

Is there a limit on the number of files that a folder can have in any of the following OS? xp, mac, nokia memory card.

I'm rendering map tiles and on the detail levels the number of files can be very large. If there's such limits I might want to reorganise the output folders.

element.setAttribute('name', 'StartDate'+1 );

The above code works in Opera,Safari & FF, but not in IE7. Tried the following but also fails in IE7

CODE

element.name = 'StartDate'+1;

Any workaround?
