I thought publishing the amateur radio general class license exam question pool on Datasette would get the kid and I writing (videoing in this case) help topics for the exam pretty quickly. Sure enough, a little over 36 hours later we released our first video. The kid asked what vdc was while she was studying this morning. I responded that I had no idea. (Turned out she hadn't pronounced dc like they were the sub script characters they are.) Rather than squinting at the practice app on the kid's phone, I clicked over to our Datasette instance and searched for questions with vdc and voila! A quick conversation about the dc power formula later, the kids and I were making the video above. Anyways: This isn't the kid's first appearance on ham radio videos. This This will also lead to using generative AI to create search rerences in the future.

Well, that was easy. In my previous post, I wondered about being able to publish the ham radio general class license exam question pool so that anyone could explore it using Datasette . There's a CLI command for that. Put simply, if you're already running things on Google Cloud (like a ham radio practice exam ), then you can issue a single command: datasette publish cloudrun mydatabase.db --service=my-database But, if you're running on windows... ahem... you'll also need to get rid of the tmp file cleanup routine because it'll hose up the entire process, preventing you from deploying at all. Fortunately, the fix is pretty simple once you've located the file it lives in. So, here's the general class question pool ! Explore away.

The twelve year old here is routinely passing practice exams for the United States amateur radio technician class license. Consequently, she and I started to work on updating our practice exam app to the latest general class question pool . We wrapped up the new deployment of the app earlier this afternoon, and I just wrote a python script to dump the question pool into a sqlite3 database. With the question pool all databased up, my next fun project was to study the questions in Simon Willison's datasette app . This allowed me to find out a few interesting things about the question pool right away. As an example, supposing you were to just go in to the test without studying and guess answers? Is there an answer you'd be better off leaning towards? A facet of the question pool based on the correct answer, (A, B, C, or D), indicates that no guessed answer is particularly better than any other: I suppose you'd get a tiny bias guessing either 'B' or 'C', bu...
