Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

And operationally, what happens, it's, I would say, by far the highest level computer language that exists.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

And it's really been built in a very different direction from other languages.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

So other languages have been about, there is a core language.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

It really is kind of wrapped around the operations that a computer intrinsically does.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Maybe people add libraries for this or that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

But the goal of Wolfram Language is to have the language itself

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

be able to cover this sort of very broad range of things that show up in the world.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

And that means that, you know, there are 6,000 primitive functions in the Wolfram language that cover things.

#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

You know, I could probably pick a random here.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

I'm going to pick just because just for fun, I'll pick, let's take a random sample of all the things that we have here.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

So let's just say random sample of 10 of them and let's see what we get.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Wow, okay, so these are really different things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

These are all functions.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Boolean converts, okay, that's a thing for converting between different types of Boolean expressions.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Yeah, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Well, we've got things about dollar requester address that has to do with interacting with the world of the cloud and so on.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Discrete wavelet data.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

There's also graphical sort of window movable.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

Yeah, window movable.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#89 – Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics

That's the user interface kind of thing.
