Wolfram Alpha Pro



Today officially introduced an advanced version of academic search engine Wolfram Alpha Pro. This is the most significant update for all time of existence of search engines. Though earlier it was difficult to call "search engine", and now it is generally something fundamentally different.

So, what can Wolfram Alpha Pro for five dollars a month?



First, to take advantage of "premium" features, you need to register and pay a subscription ($4.99 a month of $2.99 for students), which is now free for 14 days.

After authorization on the website you will see the same interface, but with small icons, which are great opportunities. Here the icons for data input in different ways.



For example, an icon is causing the keyboard with special characters.



As says himself, Stephen Wolfram, these additional input capabilities represent the original ideology of Wolfram Alpha, which was conceived as a universal interface for handling information in any form which is able to perceive and process the computer. So Wolfram Alpha goes even further and allows you to submit input not only text, but images ().



After uploading the image and clicking Enter, the search engine automatically analyzes the image. If there is text, it is his recognition.



Then you can process the image with different teams in free linguistic form. This is especially effective in combination with CDF (described below), an interactive format for offline work with the data.

Wolfram Alpha supports loading and processing 60 file formats.



Each data type has different treatment. For example, here's how it looks for the sound file.



But analysis of the conventional binary.



But the fun starts when you import data (), it doesn't have to be your table, you can take some the finished compilation and start to work with it. This is the most remarkable feature of Wolfram Alpha Pro: the system performs automatic data analysis and reports.



Report accurately tied to specific data. If you give other data, the report will be completely different. There can be graphs, diagrams, charts, can apply statistical methods or any other methods of data analysis, Wolfram Alpha solves it yourself.



And it's not a static report, each element has a drop down menu for in-depth analysis.

When you hover over any element will have five new icons.
summerwith any chart.

allows you to customize graphics in different formats, you can choose the combination of colors. Stephen Wolfram says that many users asked for this feature.

Another popular function is called by the icon is the ability to download from the Wolfram Alpha "raw" data, i.e. raw tabular results.



And it's not just table or CSV JSON to construct normal graphs, but also 60 file formats, including the data for the 3D geometry (they can be used, for example, in the simulation program or for printing a three-dimensional printer), audio, data, molecular specifications, vector and raster graphics, etc.

In addition to individual files, you can download the results as a whole in the format CDF (Computable Document Format). This is an interactive format that allows the program CDF Player offline to manipulate the data — zoom the chart, change the settings, sliders, etc.

Approval of WSUS updates: import, export, copy

Изображение
the Backstory Until recently, I worked as edikasyon a major Russian company that has many offices throughout the country. In my jurisdiction there were eleven sites, located in different cities of the Far East (this is important). In each of these offices had its own, not connected with other network infrastructure — your domain AD own subnet, etc. Once the leadership gave me the task to organize the automatic updating of the OS and programs from MS and allowed to expand on accountable sites WSUS . Problem After WSUS was deployed, binding policy, computers to WSUS groups are configured, the directory synchronization content server MS held, etc., the question arose: who and how will approve the update? Imagine 11 cities that are so "fast" and "stable", that rare moment when latency of ICMP replies are only 800 MS, are perceived as unheard of luck. And in each you test all updates before deploying. The access to the servers at the sites was only v

The Hilbert curve vs. Z-order

Repeatedly heard the opinion that of all swept curves . it the Hilbert curve the most promising for spatial indexing. The explanation given is that it does not contain discontinuities and therefore in some sense “well-arranged”. Whether so it actually and what is the spatial indexing, we will understand under the cut. The concluding article of the series: the the Why doesn't the straightforward approach to spatial indexing swept curves the Presentation the 3D and obvious optimization the 8D and perspectives OLAP the 3D field as it looks the 3D field benchmarks the How about indexing non-point objects? The Hilbert curve has the remarkable property — the distance between two successive points is always equal to one (step current of detail, to be precise). Therefore, data is not much different Hilbert curve values are close to each other (the inverse, incidentally, is wrong — adjacent points may be very different in meaning). For this property it is us

Kaspersky Security Center — the fight for automation

oddly enough, I found habré only one article on the subject — the sandbox much unfinished actually contains a piece of the slightly redesigned the product help. Yes, and Google query klakaut silent. I'm not going to tell you how to administer the hierarchy of Kaspersky Security Center (hereinafter KSC) from the command line — I do not yet need never. Just want to share some thoughts about automation tools to those who need it and disassemble one case with which I had to face. If you, %habrauser%, this topic will be interesting — welcome under kat. Historically, the anti-virus protection on the job, I prefer products of Kaspersky Lab (hereafter LK). Causes and other Holy war of personal opinions, I'll leave behind the scenes. Naturally, I would like to centrally deploy, protect, to protect and to enforce the law to draw beautiful graphics to integrate into existing monitoring systems and to do other work shifting the blame to a healthy server. And if you deplo
