@kirma apparently a popup window is supposed to appear. You enter your openapi key. That didn't occur for me though. Absent that working there should be a manual work around I would have thought. The presence of an authentication option suggests this (?)

Does anyone know how to handle authentication for the new LLMFunction? I could see a default Authentication->Automatic but no indication of the syntax for providing the api key. Just using the key from OpenAI didn't work for me

@b3m2a1 thanks! I hadn't been able to find it in the chat!

@Szabolcs I have always found Dataset problematic for anything but small data. I am using lists and finding that more efficient. And for stuff too big for lists using python

Thanks, I'll have a look back through the chat. ...not a big Mma user lately and rarely come here unfortunately

Does anyone with 12.1 know if HatchFilling works with BarCart?

Has anyone on here had any experience using the mail functions in 11.3 to access their email inbox and e.g. download and/or search messages? I am finding it bug ridden ...bug = I can connect to the mail server but after that when following coded examples in the docs can only get errors

@kuba no a notebook. dynamic interface. i added slider labels as subscripts but they convert to that other form (what is it called, I've forgotten) when opening in Windows

@kuba thanks for 1). Yes for 2) I make something on Mac and they see that when opened on windows

2. Sometimes subscripted strings render as "(\!)*SubscriptBox..." when shared with a Windows user. I thought I remembered an option from a long time ago to prevent this occurring (???). It is so rare for me I have even forgotten what that form is called. But it happened today and I could not figure out the solution and because I could not remember the name of this Form didn;t know what to search for in MSE

1. Sometimes when you evaluate code to generate a plot the output below the input is not overwritten. Instead a new output cell is generated. What is the option to prevent this???

Two things I have forgotten about Mathematica but I used to know:

@halirutan SystemInformation["Links", "JavaVersion"] is what I need. Thanks!!

Evaluating $Version tells me things about the Mathematica version and the OS. Is there a way to find out the Java version from within Mathematica?

V11.3 on OS 10.11.6

@Vitaliy it seems inexplicable that PlotLayout -> "Vertical", PlotLayout -> "CommonXAxis", PlotLayout -> "CommonYAxis" etc are in WaveletListPlot but not part of ListPlot, ListLinePlot, DateListPlot etc

@Szabolcs I am still on OS 10.11 if you want me to test something

"This year’s Nobel Prize in economics was awarded to a Python convert" -> qz.com/1417145/…

@Vitaliy it was recently put to me that python users like/prefer the matplotlib style and even some Mma users prefer the matplotlib appearance for publishing. Maybe "matplotlib" and "ggplot" themes, matching the defaults in these libraries, could be made PlotThemes?

No worries @halirutan I will do this when I get back

I have noticed a "bug" with scheduled tasks on Mac & Windows with both 11.2 & 11.3 in which AutoRemove->True for a single task causes the kernel to quit and all scheduled tasks lost. Anyone else seen this?

re: this question mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/176930/… I haven't done electrochemistry for ~13 years but would be happy to put files on an open source platform (GitHub?) if any MSE members who have an interest in this stuff want to update and maintain the materials. About to head on 6 weeks holiday but if anyone interested wants to email me we can discuss when I get back

Has anyone noticed an issues with EventHandler(s) in 11.3 on Win7? I have an application which users report is unusable with 11.3 but works fine in 11.2. No problems on OS X

After using pymongo with MongoDB in jobs for a couple of years it will be good to try out MongoLink in 11.3 reference.wolfram.com/language/MongoLink/guide/…

nevertheless my experience has also been that people only want to talk about R and python. Rare to find someone who has even heard of Mathematica

yeah I think so. Advocate of Ocaml, F#, not a big fan of wolfram??

How many others routinely find that people are only interested in methods using R or python? visibledata.co.uk/blog/2018/02/18/…

Other info: Length[tmp]=517228; Length[First[tmp]]=21. i.e. table with close to 11 million entries.

the assoc has been made correctly in so far as queries of the data set I make from it are as expected for known data.

It is reasonable to be expecting that the byte count of the association would be that large?

2031669656

ByteCount[assoc]

assoc = AssociationThread[First[tmp], #] & /@ Rest[tmp];

Then I make an association:

285513160

ByteCount[tmp]

tmp = Import["large/50MB/file", "CSV"]

I import a ~50MB csv file:

@b3m2a1 I got the impression he was talking about something completely different

Just been watching presentation by SW on periscope but could not see the screen. There was mention of better database connection (?) and he gave an example of accessing their bug database. He then mentioned connection to sparkle and mongo. It was all a bit vague without seeing the screen. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I may find this functionality in 11.2?

Can anyone tell me what option controls the appearance of the above conversion prompts? I feel like I have come across this before but now cannot find the option

@SjoerdC.deVries they've probably been trawling this site

anyway my lunch break is over ....

I self published my book back in 2004. I had a book contract with OUP but after a change of editor (several in fact) they decided against including a CD, which i felt was necessary, so we parted ways.

Not something I want to spend time on. I'd consider a chapter in a cookbook type book but writing a manuscript in 6 weeks is ridiculous

@halirutan Pakt publishing?

I had someone contact me about writing a Mathematica Data Visualisation book. They wanted drafts by April and renumeration was $1400 plus 16% of royalties. I said I was not interested but can pass on details if anyone on here would like to make contact with them. The deadline seems crazy IMO. I told them I thought a better option would be a multi-author book similar to the Mathematica cookbook

Why not save the values as rules. That way it won't matter if not all are saved
