Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as a JavaScript image seam carving project, cited as a missing alternative to responsive images. The only comment is a pointer to it, so the writing itself is not discussed.

What Hacker News says?
It is a very visual and entertaining visualization, I love it. It inspired me to experiment with a genetic algorithm in "Self-parking car evolution": https://trekhleb.dev/self-parking-car-evolution/

HN discussionI've used Tesseract.js to recognise the https:// ** links from the camera input and to make them clickable. First issue I've encountered was the text recognition performance. Depending on the camera input (if the image contained something that looked like the text or not) I've got 2-20+ seconds per 640x640px image for text recognition on iPhone X.
