Wolfram Alpha – vá f...n!
Jag är ingen datanörd eller så. Jag använder min dator och mina program efter bästa förmåga och när jag nu – sakta men säkert – har lärt mig vad peer-to-peer betyder och hur det funkar, fattar vikten av internet som ett viktigt demokratiskt instrument, etcetera, så känns det svagt (av mig) att ha missat Wolfram!
Dr. Stephen Wolfram, britt stationerad i staterna har tydligen snickrat ihop något fiffigt för oss amatörer (och alla andra). The Independent har mer. Här kommer utdrag:
"The real innovation, however, is in its ability to work things out "on the fly", according to its British inventor, Dr Stephen Wolfram. If you ask it to compare the height of Mount Everest to the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, it will tell you. Or ask what the weather was like in London on the day John F Kennedy was assassinated, it will cross-check and provide the answer. Ask it about D sharp major, it will play the scale. Type in "10 flips for four heads" and it will guess that you need to know the probability of coin-tossing. If you want to know when the next solar eclipse over Chicago is, or the exact current location of the International Space Station, it can work it out."
Dagslända? Om inte, varför har jag missat detta? Och det skall landa, åtminstone i en första version, i maj! 2009!
Alltså, vá f...n?!
