sooo awesome

The technology is astounding, but goddamn is that video dry. And unnecessarily long.

pretty cool, though this is bullshit. people should have to do actual research to find these things out for themselves. it is too easy!

back in my day, we had to interpolate by hand on a slide rule... ...

no its not.

1. i dont have time amongst art/music/life/girls/films/dancing/eating/watching/saving the world to learn how to calculate the next lunar event with a stick.

2. the old days were crappy.

be good if it had other related events and odd calculations and relations - like springfield would end up with:

the simpsons

wiki - springfield

picture results

springs & fields

and odd calculations - bart/homer to come up with some funny takes on our life. would hopefully end up with bart shagging homer up the bum funny pron gifs.

been looking forward to seeing what this can do. It's out on monday i think.

wicked

Average size of American male penis / Number of potatoes consumed in a year / Amount of semen collected in an Arizona sperm bank + Circumference of Betelgeuse

how did they managed to do this, wow

im never going to remember shit ever thanks to this

"where's my bacon?"

*scatter plot of possible locations of my bacon*

a huge leap for mankind,, i am blown away!

although, could some information be too much?? like the international space station orbit details..

How does it tell the difference between a search for Aphex twin from a search comparing Aphex and Twin?

Here's a brief intro to the main dude behind this Stephen Wolfram

i've heard a lot about this guy. i have been meaning to check out his book...

I've got a preview acces too(I said I was graduating in NLP and was about to release a paper about fractal semantics, which is a big lie, i'm just a wanker) and what i can say is this pretty disapointing, unless you're into economics/statistics mathematics or physics. IMO There isn't enough data to compute,

(no penis size charts)

but maybe it's just a matter of time before wolfram alpha collects data about penises from the web.

If anyone's got ideas about inputs to search for, let me know.

Oh and :

3.5x10^9 km (kilometers)

 

Light travel time t in vacuum from t=x/c:

:omg:

ask it 'what is wolfram alpha?' - let's hurry that singularity up a bit
