Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this as an interactive town-exploration site where you talk to people, watch birds and travel to the next town. The one comment describes it as a game-like experience rather than a written piece.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Essays and interactive projects by Emile Silvis on mathematics, computing, AI, and systems thinking.
What Hacker News says?
I messed around some, talked to two people. Watched the birds fly. I did the "go to next town" It worked, but then I got to ( https://emilesilvis.com/ ) and got stuck. The Town Square is in 1/2 the page, so you can't get to the two ends to be able to go to the next town.
