    Differentiating
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the challenge of differentiating a spline created from four data points. The user, Karin, expresses difficulty in using built-in functions like fntlr and fnder for differentiation. A suggestion is made to avoid relying on these functions and instead utilize a finite difference scheme for manual differentiation. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding numerical methods for solving such problems, particularly when built-in tools are not effective.

Hello
I have made a simple spline(x,y) of 4 datapoints and I want to differentiate it.
I can't get it to work; I have tried fntlr, fnder ect.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried shouting at it?


What program are you using? Don't bother with built in functions, just use a finite different scheme and find it yourself. Are you familiar with those?
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
