AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the recent experience of using a newer version of Octave on campus, which features a user interface similar to MATLAB, including a dedicated edit page for scripts and M-files. The user inquires about the specific version of Octave available on campus and seeks guidance on updating their personal version, which is 2.9. It is noted that the current stable version is 3.0.1, accessible for download on the GNU website. Additionally, the term ".rpm" is explained as a package format for the Redhat Package Manager, which simplifies software installation on Linux distributions through package management systems, eliminating the need for manual compilation.

Hello everyone.

I recently had to use Octave on campus, and I noticed they had a newer version from the last time I used it. The interface is very much more like that of MATLAB's, with the history, file directory etc. on the left-hand side; but most importantly, it allowed you to have an 'edit' page for writing scripts and M-files, like MATLAB, which you can run from the 'input' page (sorry I don't know the technical terms.).

The version I have on my laptop is 2.9, so does anybody know which version of Octave this was they had on campus, or is there some way I can update my version so it is more like this?

You should be able to go to the website and download an updated .rpm and install it.
 
Im sorry, I'm not so hot with computers- what is this .rpm you talk about?
 
I don't know what operating system you use, but the current stable version of Octave is 3.0.1, available for several different systems here:

By the way, an .rpm is a package for the Redhat Package Manager - Most linux distributions have package management systems so that you don't have to compile the software yourself.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
