Re: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
#12Interesting, the automated version of racing wikipedia pages:
Though the path it gives from Manifestiny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny to Homo Sapiens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human seems to go through a hyperlink not found on the page? Might be buried in versioning or other languages though.

#13> Found 218 paths with 3 degrees of separation from Adolf Hitler to Wet T-shirt contest in 54.73 seconds! Finally we know!
Lambda Calculus -> Lorena Bobbitt was 4 degrees.
I feel like the existence of pages like "List of notable people from Buffalo, NY" are sort of cheating this sort of thing.

#14I recall a website maybe around a decade ago that "sort of" did this, except it was called Hitler Hops - and it posited that any article on Wikipedia was only (i think) 6 articles away from getting to Adolf Hitler. You'd put in an article and it would find how many "hops"/articles it took to get to the guy.
Was an interesting concept, not sure if it's still around though (probably not).

#15I built a similar website this summer https://wikisp.fanor.dev ! The source code is also open source https://github.com/haskaalo/wikisp
Its built from Wikipedia dumps in July. Links in articles shouldn't have changed much by now but updating the data set takes quite a long time!
One of my first project that taught me that gathering and cleaning data in data science is a long task, even if automated.

#16I find this a helpful antidote to a lot of conspiratorial thinking. Namely the idea that you can draw a connection to one donation from a billionaire, to a foundation, to a person who worked at that foundation but then did another thing, etc.
The error in conspiratorial thinking about these links is the assumption that whoever is at the beginning and end of those chains are in close coordination. When really it's an ordinary phenomenon you see in any information that has any relational properties (people, economic transactions etc.)

#18I love this error page: "Sorry, little Internet Hipster. This page requires Javascript."
Re: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
#19Get this only 54 paths with 3 degrees of separation from Yuri (manga genre) to the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor in 13.93 seconds. Got WOW!
Re: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
#20Captivating. It's very nice to see new Wikipedia pages I would have never visited before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_informatics)!
