I have only used Octave in Machine Learning courses

With my low usage of it, I have seen it as super close equivalent to Scilab

Do you know if (and why) one is preferred over the other? #octave #scilab

The MathWorks outage is the perfect time to look at GNU Octave! No license servers to deal with for FLOSS! https://octave.org/

Even if it's not helpful right now during the outage, consider it for future work to avoid stoppage the next time the MathWorks hostage server goes down.

Some benefits of #LabPlot:

👉 an interactive environment with a graphical user interface,
👉 ease of use for non-programmers,
👉 built-in tools for data analysis, statistics, regression, and curve fitting,
👉 platform integration that may offer a better experience than running Python scripts,
👉 possibility to run #Python, #Maxima, #R, #Octave and other languages inside LabPlot's computational notebooks.

Take a look at LabPlot's features:

Apportioned voting is a new voting system that proportionally apportions each vote among each candidate to which the voter has assigned a non-negative preference value. It is similar to proportional ranked-choice voting, but proportional vote totals are computed in a single step.

The paper includes #Octave (#FOSS) scripts for calculating the results of apportioned voting.

#Voting #Politics

The interactive calculation sheet for #engineering, based on #emacs, #orgmode, #texlatex and #sympy is available in English [1], although the blog article is in German [2]. The template is also in English [3].

#Orgmode is so impressive, you could use #maxima, #octave, #gnuplot, #graphviz and almost 40 other languages with all their libraries right out of the box [4].

Have fun!

Boy, I had forgotten how slow the old Intel MacBook Pros really are: Building the update to #octave 9.4.0 takes forever, as compared to my M series machines.

Any #octave or #matlab users here? I'm generating a plot and it's coming out with whitespace before the Y axis and after the end of the plot, which is rather annoying. Is there a parameter to either stretch the plot to fill the frame or to shrink the frame to the dimensions of the plot?

@telescoper The most compatible OSS package to Matlab is #Octave
I started using octave in 1995 before I ever had a license for Matlab (first via a NASA grant, and currently after a many year gap via the campus site license). However, octave has been installed on all my Macs (including my campus workstation) via MacPorts.

GNU Octave: An alternative to MATLAB

GNU Octave is a powerful, open-source software environment designed primarily for numerical computations. It forms part of the GNU Project and is recognized for its high level of compatibility with MATLAB. Users who are familiar with MATLAB can quickly adapt their scripts to run in Octave with minimal changes, making it one of the most commonly cited alternatives to MATLAB.

In case anyone needs a little repetitive task speed timer in Octave/MATLAB, here's a one liner I made:

clf(); t = []; lasttime = time; while true; pause; t = [t, time - lasttime]; lasttime= time; m = mean(t); plot(t); hold on; line([0, length(t)], [m, m]); hold off; end

Just hit space or something each time you finish one of whatever you're doing. It shows history and overall mean time per thing. Could definitely be fancier, but why are you spending time looking at the plot?

For 2024, I solved Advent of Code in 25 different languages. Was a fun project, sometimes a bit (very) painful (*glances at Erlang and Zig*).

Code (bottom of post) and summary for each language:
https://blog.aschoch.ch/posts/aoc-2024

Keep in mind that I used most of these language for a few hours tops, so my judgement is very much subjective.

What's your favourite of the bunch?

🧠 #OCTAVE è un nuovo modello avanzato in grado di generare voci e personalità in tempo reale partendo da semplici descrizioni o registrazioni di appena 5 secondi. 
✨ Le personalità create includono tratti come linguaggio, accento, espressioni, e disposizioni emotive. Può anche gestire interazioni tra più personalità e voci simultaneamente, offrendo un'interazione realistica.

The absolute irony in that I lean more towards fluffy wuffy Yuri...yet my favorite #Yuri #manga of all time is toxic as all heck...is not lost on me. In my defense I did not enjoy Scum's Wish for example so my love for #Octave is... unique. PS: Yes. I do want an anime adaptation. #GL #WLW

Tried #GNU #Octave for the first time today and I really like it. It feels so intuitive to use and the documentation is great.

#OpenSource

Die Studierenden haben dann eine Woche Zeit, um eine eigenständige, handschriftliche Lösung zu entwickeln und können dabei natürlich auch gern Werkzeuge wie #Python, #MATLAB, #Octave, #LTspice oder #ChatGPT nutzen.
Danach gibt es einen anonymen #PeerReview zur Korrektur.
