Show HN: PG Number – I scraped 100k pages to find proximity to Paul Graham
Erdős Number is an individual's "collaborative distance" to Paul Erdős.
I calculated the "PG number" for everybody Paul Graham thanks in his essays.
I then recursively found their blogs, and extracted the people that they thank in their essays.
This is still a work in progress. The data is open-source and I'm continuing to add edges on Github (linked on the website).

- mikegee_ 3y agoThank you! This is super interesting, I'll have to look into this.
