Wolfram Mathematica

How's your experience with the W Paclet Repository folks?

I just noticed that in the Wolfram Function Repository website you can now click a start for functions you like. Better late than never. This is a nice change!

So Mr. Wizard is not a moderator anymore? When did it happen?

Hello, everyone. Several people have mentioned that they would like a heads-up for when Stephen has livestreams scheduled. Well, there is one scheduled for 12:00 CST today that will be a Panel Language (WebItem) development discussion.

Hey guys...have you check out Stephen Wolfram's recent blog about Games and Puzzles as Multicomputational Systems? If so, I'd like to hear any feedback that you might have. You all know I work for the company and appreciate your tolerance of me posting such stuff here! Let me know if you think I should connect with any other platforms to share this article: writings.stephenwolfram.com/2022/06/…

I just noticed that we can now "star" resource functions, I guess this is a fairly recent feature?

I'd like to announce some shameless self promotion: There is a new FEMAddOns paclet which, has some FEM additions. It includes functionality for ElementMesh smoothing, DistMesh is part of it and it has a domain decomposition solver (!) for stationary PDES. I hope these are useful to the community and perhaps the paclet can serve as a base for community have contributions.

There's always a last straw that will finally break your back. I'm sorry. I was foolish to bet on only one horse.

We are running a fundraising campaign for J.M..

While cleaning my garage I found something that might alleviate my need for Mathematica...

I have seen a user respond, "Can't you just paste it into Mma and have it typeset?" They seem not to care that when I see a mess, I usually don't want to get involved.

If a package is too hard for students to install, that's Mathematica's own fault for not having a pip install or install.packages() equivalent.

What took so many months for such a sloppy job?!

how isn't this plastered all over the news?

@kirma Just a few weeks ago, I went to the AI Prague conference and hung out with John McLoone and Magali Dufour, who I have known for ages, but never met in person. That was really nice.

FYI: community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1763688

SW's "for kids" videos sometimes escalate a bit. Featured on the latest: "solve the Dirac equation for the Coloumb potential for a nucleus with Z greater than 137" and "the lowest energy eigenstate for the Dirac equation" ...

@gwr Also not a mod anymore for at least 2 years… chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/2234?m=58451371#58451371

Sometimes silence becomes loud: Where is @Mr.Wizard — long time hero of MSE and last seen more than one year ago?

@bmf Thanks. I hope it is useful. I wanted to find out how V 13 DSolve compares to current Maple. I was surprised Mathematica now scores almost same as Maple's dsolve which is known to be the best ode symbolic solver in the industry for long time. Maple's still produces lower leaf size and is faster though. But in terms of just solving the ode, I think now one can say that Mathematica DSolve is equal to Maple's. I spend over 2 years adding these ODE's by hand into the database.

Actually I'm a bit surprised they don't hide away the actual API cost behind Wolfram AICredits™ or something weird like that.

Here's a fun thing little chart. A word cloud of words pulled from comments on this site:

On page 16 of this paper there is a 'Thank you' to the SE community. Just wanted to pass this along.o

I feel more and more like "grumpy old man" when I comment these days. "In my day we upvoted when we answered and by golly we liked it!"

in case anyone else has this issue, to get the new Chat-Enabled Notebook in File/New menu, I had to explicitly do a PacletInstall["Wolfram/Chatbook"]

Wolfram Cloud has switched to Mma version 13.3

@user13892 should be soon, I got a notice last week that the 13.3 prerelease was over and the release of 13.3 was "imminent".

@Rojo SW tends to have a certain overconfidence that doesn't really help his claims getting accepted or integrated to the rest of scientific endeavour...

Now that's what I call serendipity :)

Before sleep, let me just drop it here: A notebook based To-do list I have been using for 2 months now. community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1915689

Haha! I did it

@C.E. ah well I suppose I have been outed as using a userscript to have the old styling of the site

For anyone who interested in rust, I implemented the wxf protocol: github.com/GalAster/wolfram-exchange/blob/master/projects/…

I think Wolfram community web site has fragmented the Mathematica community. I see many ask questions there and we do not know about them here and many ask questions here and they do not know about them. I do not see this being good for communication about Mathematica overall. Better to have everything in one place. Just my 2 cents.

@xzczd The documentation center has been updated for v12.1 as well.

Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of this site! 🎉

Python is getting pattern-matching: python.org/dev/peps/pep-0634/#the-match-statement

From reading all the above recent Wolfram blogs, I have a feeling that we all will be typing lots and lots of commands that start with LLM in V 13.3. I am looking forward for trying LLMDSolve and LLMIntegrate commands :)
