What do you consider entertainment? Do you not do any activities or consume any media that entertains you?


Our exchange here entertains me :)

But I wouldn't call Hacker News part of the entertainment industry.


I find your comments entertaining.


"the man who didn't understand fun"

I guess I'm one step closer to understand how the phrase "play-to-earn" was ever born without being stopped by an interlocuter.


Let us know when you finally get it.


The author said a 2nd edition will be out later this year: https://twitter.com/shiffman/status/1646961509833011201?s=20


The homepage puts "Receive lifetime book updates for free", I guess that would mean second editions?


My intention is to send free digital updates to those who purchased the original 2012 PDF via the website, I have a list via fetchapp.com. I will probably remove this message for the new version. Print editions or other proprietary ebook formats (like kindle, etc) will be for purchase only for the new version. More: https://github.com/nature-of-code/natureofcode.com/pull/42


A developer from OpenAI tweeted they would still provide access through their research access program: https://twitter.com/OfficialLoganK/status/163855991110907084...


Oh wow I hadn't even noticed, but you're right!


I think what they mean is that if your post gets to the front-page via the second-chance pool and then gets 100 upvotes, your karma increases only by 50.


Wow, I wasn't expecting to find a reference to a horror manga in the comments of my post about (what I believed to be) innocuous spirals! That's amazing, although I'm too squeamish to try and read it!


I found this very interesting too, and it actually has a great explanation! Maybe I should have even explored this side a bit deeper in the post itself.

Let's say the spiral has rotated 6000 degrees, and I'm approximating it with 100 points (one point every 60 degrees) and line segments. Well, a hexagon is nothing other than 6 points chosen 60 degrees apart from each other at the same distance from a central point, connected with straight lines. The same thing holds for a square at, e.g. 9000 degrees.

Check out these images to see what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/mvIVuch


These shapes in the spiral are explored and explained a bit in the classic Tesla spiral hoax too. https://www.conquermaths.com/news/post/index/395/The-Mystery...


Another fascinating video on the prime "arms" in the Ulam spiral.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't managed to find another good example "in the wild" so this is pretty cool. It's at a larger scale than my examples too!


Thanks a lot! I agree that there is great educational potential in this format. I've definitely learned some cool things myself from the posts at https://explorabl.es/
