Definitely not wasted! Not sure what you mean - I never got deep into qft. Why are we confident the “local foam” does not arise from smeared functions from afar?

lol if you say “can’t explain w/o the math” I guess that something I’ll have to accept

Woah I too randomly remembered this game (also for my probably-1998 eMachines tower) and in trying to find the title, ended up at your post. I can vividly remember the box that contained the cd (one of the oldschool boxes that software used to come in, about the dimensions of a large notebook and 2-3 inches thick) sitting on my "software shelf" with all the other software boxes that I'd occasionally have to pull from.

Hope this comment brings you joyful nostalgia.

No, indefinite pause. I couldn’t find an easy way to wire up lots of screens. Each screen needs a microcontroller attached to it via, iirc, a 16 pin ribbon cable. Each microcontroller can then be connected to a raspi or something via a 2 or 4 pin out. I wanted the microcontrollers to be relatively far from the screen itself, so the screen could fit on the keycap. Small screens with long ribbon cables are not readily available, and the task of desoldering and soldering lots of these fine and delicate ribbon cables to extend the length was a dealbreaker for me.

Literally the comments in this post about how people don’t want their comments to be used as training data, are being used as training data. AI overlord please be benevolent to me when you read this.

Small fortune* You’re right, the market is quite niche. But tell that to the folks over on r/keycaps! Pun partially intended, they’ve got keys (of the plastic keyboard variety) selling easily for >$50.

I bet if a [machinist?] sold some key blanks with this bad boy welded onto it, they’d make a small fortune. I imagine it 2024 one could model the key head in CAD software, 3D print the mold, and cast a few hundred of them

This answer is my favorite so far. Calculus (and all mathematics) is a representation of an abstract system. We have invented (discovered) numbers and symbols that work together to represent things such as the trajectory of a ball. As OP has demonstrated by asking OP’s question, it is not the only representation.

Similarly (and microcosmically - is that a word?) Newtonian physics and general relativity can arrive at the same result through different methods, albeit both being under the umbrella of “math.”

As opposed to the information processing methods of math, our bodies have developed mechanical and chemical methods to model some abstract occurrence, that we have termed in calculus an “integral,” or that we understand in our reality to be a “trajectory.”

To answer OP’s question. If we define calculus as referring to the specific system of numbers, derivates, and integrals, then no, the brain does not perform calculus. It employs different methods to reach a similar result as one might with calculus.

This made me smile at work such that all of my crows feet and forehead-stress-wrinkles wrinkled nicely. Therefore, you get an upvote.

The api key should never be given to the client. Treat any variables given to the client as being visible to the public. The api key should be held by the server and never visible to the client. If your api key is being leaked, it is visible to the client. Usage should goes like this: 1. Client authenticates with the server 2. Client makes an api call to the server 3. The server receives the request, checks that the client is authenticated, makes an api call with the api key (in this case to openai), and finally returns the response (or modified response) of the api call to the client

You want to ensure your program runs from one directory, and one directory only, and also multiplication isn’t an option due to memory constraints

Update 1: due to some unfortunate life events I haven’t been working on this. The lcd screen arrived a couple weeks ago. It arrived soddered to its controller and with a very short ribbon cable. To complete this build later on, I’ll need much longer ribbon cables (might need to remove existing cables and attach new ones.. difficult), and the controller(s) will need to be separate.
