It looks like it’s been over 22 hours since the post was approved. Maybe it just takes some time, but it has received 3 votes, summing to zero. I would appreciate an explanation from whoever downvoted it, or advice from anyone on how I could have done better. I think it’s a nice post, and if someone else had written it I would have upvoted them.
I’ll read it soon. My suggestions: firstly, technical posts generally get less engagement, presumably because less people have the technical chops (even here) or it’s more of a time and effort commitment.
Secondly, I think you should’ve had a better summary as your first paragraph. You could additionally try two summaries: one that’s like a “normal” summary, and one that gives a terse math overview, so that those that can understand the latter can quickly get the point.
Be patient. A post like this one requires most of us hours of mental labor to understand well enough to form an opinion on whether LW should have more posts like it or fewer posts like it (the standard we are encouraged to use for upvotes and downvotes).
