2 weeks ago Stephen Wolfram came here and gave a 2 hour sneak peak and the first public unveiling of the project. It was absolutely spectacular. Now that it's come out, I'm still really impressed, but it definitely has some work to do. It has unbelievable knowledge in some really obscure areas and yet is completely oblivious to some generally obvious things.

Nonetheless, it is a historic project and if they keep working at it could become basically the ultimate source of all human knowledge.

At any rate it's going to make doing my physics and chem homework easier from now on. Though honestly what it's best at is the math part, which I've already been using Wolfram Mathematica for the entire year.

Yeah, it looks amazing. It pretty much already has an entire easily searchable version of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics online which makes it immediately worth while to tons of students. I'm excited to see how it grows.

It might be able to tell you the meaning of life, but it can't tell you the chief end of man. Nor answer any of the other catechism questions.

It doesn't recognize Science Olympiad. But that's really cool!

It's not a search engine. It's a computational knowledge engine.

I think someone coined the term "answer engine" for it, but i only saw that in one article about it so im not sure
