Show HN: What are vector embeddings? An interactive guidehttps://isaacus.com/blog/what-are-vector-embeddings

Hey HN, I'm Abdur-Rahman Butler, a machine learning engineer at Isaacus. I made an interactive write-up that walks you through the A to Z of vector embeddings, inspired by Brendan Bycroft's incredible interactive LLM visualisation guide (see here - https://bbycroft.net/llm ). Most of my work is on encoder models, and I kept noticing how few good interactive resources there are on embeddings. The ones that do exist tend to either plot some embeddings in 3D or only explain a narrow applied technique like semantic search or RAG. So I wanted to make something that teaches how embeddings work by l…

I have been working on documents for last 5 years.

My colleague had the exact same problem. We had MCP connected to Claude, but there was no way to bring all of that into one place that was intuitive. So we built Mnemify. Which converted all our notes from every app to a 3D traversable terrain instead. We’ve been using it daily for last two months and found it useful so decided to share it. Wh…

From the FBI to local police departments, US authorities are increasingly warning of would-be terrorists using chatbots to plan attacks and anti-AI extremist threats In May 2025, a 25-year-old man detonated a car bomb outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic, killing himself and injuring four others. For many, it was a wake up call about the threats to reproductive care facilities. For the FBI, though, it was also a sign of what the agency had feared for years: bad actors were using generative AI to plan and execute terror plots. The suspect used an unnamed generative AI tool that failed to de…
