Thanks for sharing that map, I’m going to start using it to discover new artists :) I’d love to see a semantic map of the internet, I’m considering having a crack it as well, but it’d be a monumental task. There is this cool map but it’s qu

Hey HN, What if you could take every law, regulation and case in Australia and project them onto a two-dimensional map such that their distance from one another was proportional to their similarity in meaning? What would that look like? Wel

Shouldn’t a truly black suit, by definition, not reflect any (noticeable) colour in the presence of light? I haven’t really noticed my black suits reflecting green.

Why would you use this over Jupyter? and why is the latest version only for Python 3.5? The last release was in 2020.

RE your edit, I’m assuming you’re already aware that Kagi lets you create custom bangs, but just in case you’re not, you can create your own shortcuts that when preceded by an exclamation mark like !so can redirect to or search other websit

Just on that UMAP point, I’ve found a lot success using PaCMAP ( https://github.com/YingfanWang/PaCMAP ) instead, which AFAIK is the SOTA in dimensionality reduction algorithms.

For me, the ability to create custom bangs is worth it alone. I probably have close to a hundred bangs now and even created a bang to edit my bangs. I’m sure there are extensions that can replicate this behaviour but Kagi works on any devic
