#2On that note, any other HNers planning to be at the demo in Cambridge on Tuesday? http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/2009/04/wolfram
It seems like it's worth going to - and it's directly related to something I'm doing at work (inference over topic maps).

I'd like to, but it's full! I'll be watching the webcast ...
Re: Wolfram Alpha: Our First Impressions
#4this sounds like something that spans the (rather wide) gap between google and aws + public data sets.
I wonder how far you can go in terms of combining data/hacking on it?
For example they mention real-time financial data. So can I write something that would connect online discussion/activity to stock movements?
A platform for doing large scale, real-time data analysis in a rich descriptive language without doing any of the dirty work would be quite something.

#5Didn't knew that something like that could be coded in Mathematica.

#6WOW, this made my day... this is AWESOME. Can't wait to try it out!!! I'll def be watching the webcast.

#7Didn't knew that something like that could be coded in Mathematica.
Indeed, Wolfram himself once solved a Google puzzle (to encourage job applicants) using Mathematica. It was, what's the pattern here, and what's the next row?
1 11 21 1211 111221 312211

Google is smart enough for this:

I always find these puzzles odd
Why can't this row be valid?
1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 ....
Why does it have to be 13112221? Is it just a most close answer according to average math pupil's knowledge model psychologically?

But why Google when you can OEIS?
