Han Xiao's personal blog at hanxiao.io covers ai and programming. Since 2019, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 17 times, most often “Search every file on your Mac by meaning – all Locally”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for technical neural search writing, including a 2018 post on cross-lingual end-to-end search that one commenter calls excellent. The commenter also finds the blog's other posts interesting.
