Personally I'm not much of a fan of assert()'s... at least in the language I use the most (C++). It's not that I don't think you should validate the input ranges of parameters to functions its that in general exceptions

Yup. The goal was guide rails.... it'll still let you do non optimal things... just not totally illegal things. Hopefully if you do it enough you can take the guide rails off and still know what to do.

Yes. PR's would be welcome on the core math engine.

My goal is to build it up to Calculus.

It uses https://capacitorjs.com/ and I'm super happy with this choice. I think it feels fast simply because solving simple algebra problems is very light work these days (and of course its all on device... so no waitin

I updated the underlying engine (and its live on the web version here: https://dicroce.github.io/wyrm/home.html ). There is some new powers examples in the drop down. Irrational roots are a potential next step. Try the

I'm adding at least basic support for random practice problems in the release I'll be dropping in a few days. If I can get to it I may also be adding a more gamified "practice" mode.

Yeah I added the popup that appears when you hover as a means of trying to counteract this. I'll be looking for more ways to communicate this.

This is actually a great find. I update the engine and the change is live on the web version. I will probably wait a couple of days on updating the mobile apps to see if any more fixes need to be made (there is a whole app approval process

I will definitely consider using more color... hmm...

The underlying math engine is written in typescript and is open source: https://github.com/dicroce/wyrm_math Probably it's most important feature for applications like this is that the id's of elements in the

This is the approach I was wondering about.

These are the last days of software. Use the AI's and build cool shit NOW.

If you know about the distribution of keys you can do even better by factoring that knowledge into where you split.

This is actually pretty incredible. Cannot really argue against the productivity in this case.

Lego blocks are how I like to think about software components... They may not be the perfect shape you need but you can iterate fast. In fact my favorite software development model is just to iterate on your lego blocks until the app you ne

Ok, maybe someone here can clear this up for me. My understanding of B+tree's is that they are good for implementing indexes on disk because the fanout reduces disk seeks... what I don't understand is in memory b+trees... which mo

They should have used HLS. Its still pulling, and the client controls the downshifts if required...

Isn't it just kinda a natural thing once you have the chain rule?

Most of us that are somewhat into the tech behind AI know that it's all based on simple matrix math... and anyone can do that... So "inevitibalism" is how we sound because we see that if OpenAI doesn't do it, someone els

Holy shit, is this the squatting man? (strangely similar stick figure cave drawings dating to the same timeframe all over the world, and reproduced apparently with high energy plasma experiment). https://medium.com/@rajkumar

Not even close. Software can now understand human language... this is going to mean computers can be a lot more places than they ever could. Furthermore, software can now understand the content of images... eventually this will have a wild

Doesn't even matter. The capabilities of the AI that's out NOW will take a decade or more to digest.

I actually wish that instead of docker & etc we had just gotten a better chroot... Or maybe just a new kernel syscall that is chroot()++.

I taught all my kids this way. Generally it really only takes a couple of hours.
