My first thought was that people were linking related stuff. But the two posts were written within a day of each other. Perhaps one was inspired by the other or perhaps the authors know each other.
Dan Luu is a pretty prolific blogger / tweeter about engineering and this one is the later blogpost. I find it unlikely it was a "repurpose".
Both bloggers know each other (this is pretty obvious if you read some of their online stuff), so Dan Luu probably reviewed the other post early and thought it interesting enough to add his own take.
