Is it weird that I now know exactly which xkcd it will be just with conversational context? Granted I'm a bit of a Randall Munroe content addict, but it's become second nature now.

You're not alone. At this point I'm starting to recognise some by number as well.

So you are not the part of a lucky 10,000 today…

its fun seeing HN articles with huge upvotes but no comments, similar to when some super esoteric maths gets posted: everyone upvotes out of a common understanding of its genius, but indeed by virtue of its genius most of us are not sufficiently cognitively gifted to provide any meaningful commentary.

the karpathy vids are very cool but having watched it, for me the takeaway was "i had better leave this for the clever guys". thankfully digital carpentry and plumbing is still in demand, for now!

Ha, you made me think of casually referring to xkcd's by number just as we did with RFC's back in the day. "I don't know, the socket states seem to follow RFC 793, but remember it's a 1918 address on the southside of the NAT."

I gonna keep a look out for doing this with xkcd's now :)

There are a few that pop out but the one that has managed to stick (aside from 1053 that just came up), is 927 for standards, which you can remember as 3^2 for 9 and 3^3 for 27. Or Yoda's age + the 27 club.

I feel like the same top 5~ are often repeated so it becomes easy to guess.
