Yeah and that integration is more than just 1+1. You'd actually think Google's search engine is entirely sentient code. I'd say half of the stuff we build is nothing more than some regex in the bottom and some string matching. You actually think WA is really just a system that understands some NLP and then sends the NLP strings to some Mathematica APIs?

And half of the shit we see on HN has been done before. Quit your job because there is no innovation there. 90% of the security tool people build are nothing more than some stupid string comparison with some strings in the database. Very few is doing real sentient code.
I see nothing innovating about the way we browse website, the way we interact with technology or the way we build software today. We are still using browser. We are not automating the way we would like to be. Where are all the talking Siri integrated into our home?
WA is very different from Google search.
And if WA is good at dealing mathematical models, just wait and see what one could do with those APIs. You can't do this with Google easily.

- yeukhon 13y agoYeah, sure this is cool. We probably can see this from Yelp in a limited way, from twitter or from facbeook. Everyone who work on recommendation algorithm probably have an idea how to implement one. I don't see that being impressive.
