Unreasonable effectiveness of HN posts with Unreasonable effectiveness in title
- hgarg 4y agoFor some reasons, Hacker News really love posts with the words "unreasonable effectiveness" in the title. Not sure if it's correlation or causation.
- enasterosophes 4y agoI was thinking the same thing earlier today! It seems to be becoming a cliche. Ironically, Wigner's article which kicked the trope off was also unreasonably well-received, considering that its subject (mathematics in the natural sciences) is effective for good reasons -- there is nothing "unreasonable" about it.
