gollark: Too bad.
gollark: I read a random internet website™ on automatic differentiation and how it is apparently much better than regular symbolic differentiation, so of course this is to occur.
gollark: I have some approximate ideas of hardware; osmarkscalculator™️ would use a memory LCD thing, a higher-powered ARM SoC (an STM32 or whatever?), and probably run Lua if it was to be programmable.
gollark: Prototypes will be available for the low price of £106.50 each, subject to inflation.
gollark: This is why all are to osmarkscalculator™, if I ever learn enough hardware things™, finalize the design whatsoever and bother enough to make it work.
