He also asked Stephen Wolfram some random Mathematica question that you can easily google or find in the docs. Like imagine emailing Tim Cook asking how to put your phone on silent.
- cubefox 3y agoYeah that's funny. I'm sure Wolfram is happy to answer his questions.
- banku_brougham 3y agoI think Tim Cook has been asked this question at least once by one of his contemporaries.
- Sharlin 3y agoSometimes people just enjoy a friendly correspondence.
- bombcar 3y agoWhen your Knuth you don’t need to bother searching for things. Who here would ignore even the most mundane question from him?
- krackers 3y agoIn return I bet Wolframs gets to ask Knuth his TeX questions.
- manquer 3y agoIf you are Knuth who has access and the privilege why not ask the THE authoritative source on a topic ? especially since Stephen Wolfram is only an email away for him. It is also why ChatGPT is so impactful, asking a question in conversation is so much powerful than searching the docs . The power of conversational learning is well known since Socrates time after all.
