Jim On Light is a personal blog at jimonlight.com about design and culture. Since 2011, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this site for an image illustrating an optical illusion, used to argue that human perception can be fooled, in a thread on adversarial attacks against machine learning.
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?
I think your logic is: 1. All ML algorithms can be fooled trivially. 2. The human mind cannot be fooled trivially. 3. Therefore, the human mind is not an ML algorithm. But claim number 2 is clearly wrong. Human minds are trivially fooled. Here's one: http://www.jimonlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Paralle... This is exactly what an optical illusion is.

HN discussionHa! Fun videos, tho quite a problem indeed! Well, there is this cool physics/art installation of 1301 fluorescent tubes being lit by high-voltage lines [0]. There is the story I heard about early in the history of long-distance high-tension lines someone building an inductive coil to harvest electricity, and getting convicted of theft, which seem legit, since it is coupling with the lines and pulling more power than…
