Can someone please help me? I'm trying to recall a post on HN within the past year that ended up introducing me to The Library of Babel. It was like a textual/visual blog post/article either in the same vein as The Library or direct text from it...or maybe the images were originally meant to illustrate it. It was weird. That's all I can remember.
- damontal 5y agoI posted this to HN 10 months ago but it got no attention. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/may/04/virtual-library-of-babel-makes-borgess-infinite-store-of-books-a-reality-almost https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/may/04/virtual-librar...
- ColinWright 5y agoHave you tried a search? https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=library%20of%20babel&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... Does that show up what you're looking for?
- narcraft 5y agoThank you, but no luck. I don't think the post had any explicit references. Could've sworn someone must've mentioned it in the comments because how else would I end up on the Library of Babel wikipedia page?
