Jake Tae's personal blog at jaketae.github.io covers ai, programming and math. Since 2022, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “Plotting Prime Numbers (2021)”. The last post was in 2023, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked posts are a study of visualising prime-number spirals and a Python and math analysis of Markov chains in board games. Commenters only link them as examples or further reading.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
> When it comes to prime numbers, it always irked me, that one cannot easily look at them in a visual way. I always thought that they would probably look beautiful. There are several of visualizations of prime numbers, and they do, look beautiful.
