I saw today that my CoCalc (cocalc.com/) license was about to renew. I've been meaning to move to a more #SelfHosting or #P2P paradigm, so this was good timing for me to cancel. I left this message when doing so:

"I want to support Sage, and I like using CoCalc, but I don't want to put money towards a service that supports Microsoft, Amazon, or OpenAI in any way. I didn't care so much about this before, and I even log in to CoCalc with a GitHub account, but I'm tired of having my work scraped for profit by people who donate to fascists who are destroying my nation. I would consider returning if all ties to these corporations were cut and cloud computing services came from responsible companies, perhaps in the EU."

I'm pretty sure I already have backups of everything I want from GitHub, so I can be done with them too. I should have quit when Microsoft first arrived. My plan is to switch to Radicle (radicle.xyz/) rather than another centralized service. I'll be sure to post about how that goes.

I have also written an finicky to setup xdg-desktop-portal that let one choose #files using #emacs codeberg.org/rahguzar/filechoo , an Emacs interface to #hoogle codeberg.org/rahguzar/consult-

There is a (kind of in progress) major mode for #sagemath codeberg.org/rahguzar/sage-mod which hasn't seen much progress in a while because it is usable for its only user i.e. me.

Recently I managed to make produce a (humongous) #texinfo manual for Sage so that I can read it from Emacs github.com/sagemath/sage/issue

Sometimes it takes more time to refute a `gcc` bug than confirm it. This week I spent most time on gcc.gnu.org/PR114872 where `sagemath` `SIGSEGV`ed on some simple inputs.

Bug updates are a bit hard to read and are missing a bit of compiler-unrelated context. I wrote something more coherent in trofi.github.io/posts/312-the-

It's just 10 days till our next meetup! 🎉

Join us as we learn about #python tooling for #math research. There will be discussion of #SageMath and #Macaulay2, among others. Should be really interesting.

Also there will be free pizza 🍕 + :python:

The event is free and open to the public, hosted at #Madison's Central Library. All are welcome, including experts and newcomers alike.

See you there!

(tl;dr we replaced our natural-gas-only furnace with a dual-fuel gas and heat pump one and it's great.)

On the subject of heat pumps and mathematical modeling: in summer 2022, I got a heat pump furnace/air conditioning unit. Here in #Wisconsin it gets very cold in winter, so the furnace needs to be dual-fuel: both a heat pump and natural gas.

We were replacing a natural gas furnace, so I wasn't expecting any large difference between the old furnace and the new one when using gas. So I wanted to compare energy usage between situations when the old furnace would be running (using gas) and when the new one would be using the heat pump.

I have an Ecobee smart thermostat, and you can download all your usage and temperature data in CSV format. I used that to estimate that the heat pump would replace about one third of our gas usage. I made a nice #Sagemath notebook and everything. :)

That was summer 2022. I then tracked our gas usage last winter -- and was pleased to find my estimate was right!

Yay for data and modeling and heat pumps...

I discovered today that #ChatGPT and #CoCalc (which already has AI integration) make it extremely easy to perform any #sagemath computation that can be described to GPT; I used this to perform enough numerics to arrive at the solution to a problem in mathoverflow.net/a/454051/766 . (The GPT provided code did contain some minor syntax errors, but CoCalc’s native AI could easily fix them.) I did not feel proficient enough in the past to use Sage on a regular basis, but now I think I will.
