I'm curious as to what you'll think of the UX layer I applied to embeddings for public perusal. I call it "semantic scrolling" since it's not searching exactly, but moving through the cluster by using <summary>/<details> as a tree.

[1] is a single starting point (press the animated arrow to "wiki-hole") and [2] is the entire collection (books, movies, music, animations, etc.)

Cool. I kinda grok the idea of semantic scrolling but I'm having trouble seeing it in action in the site. I think it would be useful in cases where I want to become an expert in a given topic and therefore I want to peruse lots of related ideas and create the possibility of serendipitous new neural connections. As for technical documentation, usually people want to find certain information as quickly as possible so that they can get on with their work, so I don't think semantic scrolling would be a good fit on most docs sites. I.e. they won't have the patience to semantically scroll in order to find the info they need.
