    (The left-hand picture on this page is a nice illustration of how this works in the plane; the points are chosen independently and completely randomly, but you see some clumps and clusters all the same.)

Can anyone get this picture to load?

Great article.

Now, I'm confused about the attribution of this article. It says Ed Copeland wrote this, but the linked Slate article is attributed to Jordan Ellenberg, and much of it is verbatim. It looks like Impact Lab copied the image reference without the link.

Anyway, here it is the image: https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/peres/GAF/GAF.html
