Ziming Liu writes blank, a personal blog at kindxiaoming.github.io about ai and philosophy. Since 2024, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “Kolmogorov-Arnold Representation Theorem”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-09, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link the pykan introduction, which shows a Kolmogorov-Arnold Network recovering the symbolic formula behind its training data after pruning. Comments describe it and link related KAN work without judging the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A simple, whitespace theme for academics. Based on [*folio](https://github.com/bogoli/-folio) design.

What Hacker News says?
https://kindxiaoming.github.io/pykan/intro.html At the end of this example, they recover the symbolic formula that generated their training set: exp(x₂² + sin(3.14x₁)). It's like a computation graph with a library of "activation functions" that is optimised, and then pruned. You can recover good symbolic formulas from the pruned graph. Maybe not meaningful for MNIST.

HN discussionSuper cool work. I love seeing this direction taken all the way to hardware. I'm a big fan of KANs. The really seem like the start of something big and new. We've got a couple of papers out and in the works on KANs. The most relevant to OP's is this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.15742v2 And we just put up a general primer on KANs on YT: https://youtu.be/wgcSsJ69x1c?si=fiUl1YGTgaTt_bn9 Fun stuff if you want to get…
