   SageMath's goal is to provide a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and Matlab

   I started SageMath in 2004 to provide a FOSS alternative to expensive commercial mathematics software. Sage is Python-based and has had around 600 volunteer contributors. The project has also received millions of dollars in support from grants around the world, and has a very active developer community.

   This site is about Software as a Service, and there are at least two easy ways to use Sage online as a service:

   https://cocalc.com and https://sagecell.sagemath.org/

   🏁 Competitors: Wolfram Mathematica, MATLAB, Maple, Magma

• Show HN: I made a better Perplexity for developers

  Is there something like this (maybe this?) that provides an API so I can integrate it like any other model into my own website (in this case, https://cocalc.com)? I tried asking the Phind.com devs, but got ignored. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Cocalc.com — (formerly SageMathCloud at cloud.sagemath.com) — Collaborative calculation in the cloud. Browser access to full Ubuntu with built-in collaboration and lots of free software for mathematics, science, data science, preinstalled: Python, LaTeX, Jupyter Notebooks, SageMath, scikitlearn, etc. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What is going on regarding quality of service for API access to LLM's?

  I saw in the latest ChatGPT plus announcements that you get better speed if you pay them $20/month. This made me wonder how the speed of the plus version of ChatGPT compares to the API that we pay for (to integrate ChatGPT into https://cocalc.com). We have had solid usage over the last 2 months, and I keep track of exactly how long the complete response takes for each api request. I just checked the stats and... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• A list of apps that helped me through my "de-Googling" process

  Google Colab: CoCalc offers an online, computational notebook experience that could be comparable to Colab. It was initially funded by Google and the NSF, but is mostly funded by paying users these days. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gpt4free repo given takedown notice by OpenAI

  They put my site https://cocalc.com, which has chatgpt API integration, into this gpt4free. As a result, I had to modify https://cocalc.com to require sign in before providing the ChatGPT functionality to visitors, and I also explicitly updated our terms of service to clarify how our API can be used. I made a pull request - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Did studying proof based math topics e.g. analysis make you a better programmer?

  I received a Ph.D. In pure math (number theory) from Berkeley, and then worked as an academic mathematician for 20 years, so wrote a few dozen research papers and some books. My ability to write software for doing mathematics was obviously better as a result of studying mathematics, e.g., I started SageMath (https://sagemath.org) and wrote a big chunk of it. Now I mostly do full stack web development (I... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• How do I get this calculator to give me the derivative?

  You could also try sagemath (sagemath.org), available for window, mac & linux for free. Source: about 1 year ago

• Are there any good free numeric computing environments?

  SageMath gets my vote. I use it to compute simplicial objects that turn out to be infinitely categories. https://sagemath.org SageMath includes most of the python libraries already mentioned, and much more. Source: over 1 year ago

  I am a fan of this site (and of this site's tutorial in particular). I would also recommend this site. The SageMath site has some good tutorials too. Source: over 1 year ago
