Thore Husfeldt's personal blog at thorehusfeldt.com covers math, ai and culture. Since 2022, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times, most often “An Algorithm for Doublets (Shortest Cycle Through Specified Elements) [pdf]”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-13, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
