I love it when this kind of thing surfaces on HN. It’s always so enjoyable to have the fractal nature of detail in the world shown to you. Really nice to read as well.
- CyberDildonics 5mo agoI'm not sure it's a fractal nature of detail, it might just be a vague reference to an old movie.
- sdwr 5mo agoYeah, fractal means you see the same structure, or an equally complex structure, at the smaller scale. This is just details, there's no sustained complexity
- alienbaby 5mo agoFractal means that something has a fractional spatial dimension. Ie, a fractal plane filling curve would have a dimension somewhere between 1 and 2
- redfloatplane 5mo agoDid you read the article? It's entirely about a concrete artefact from that old movie, down to the kind of tweed, now made by only six people in Scotland. I'm not sure how you come to this response.
- CyberDildonics 5mo agoIs rare tweed fractal detail or is it just an oddball fact?
- redfloatplane 5mo agoMaybe I meant that the amount of detail is sustained no matter how close you look? Maybe I was careless with my words? This is unnecessarily pedantic. I enjoyed the article. See you another time, CyberDildonics
- saberience 5mo agoDon't worry, I completely agree with your original comment and think CyberDildonics is being a bit of a dildo in this case...
- CyberDildonics 5mo agoI ask reasonable questions and because of that you insult me?
