Previously on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Antikythera+mechanism https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Antikythera+mechanism I am curious, is this device as fascinating to the average person as it is to the average HN'er? I suspect not, but I don't really understand why. I myself have read quite a few articles/posts and watched a few videos about it. Every time I re-encounter it, I get sucked back in.
