Wolfram Alpha crawling. They should be caching queries.

100% my first thought when loading this page. It really seems like they are running the calculation on query. Think about how much compute resource have they needlessly burned through by not caching user queries.

heres the same thing on desmos, my favorite free graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lvespenn07

Thanks for sharing!

I turned those functions into an area: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ya8gxv1hzo
