…which is even stranger when you consider that it’s predicting the release of itself. Stay tuned.
I’ve been playing around on the preview, and while I’m not as impressed as I was by the initial (guided/rehearsed) demo searches, I’m still mighty curious. As long as WolframAlpha survives, it certainly won’t get worse. And there are already some interesting types of calculations it can summon.
There’s a whole world of math and physical usefulness, but much less so in the biological world, so far. Is my impression.
We’ll see.
