Show HN: A Kakeya Conjecture Game

Got curious about this year’s Fields Medal. Watched a couple of explainer videos on the Kakeya conjecture. I have particular trouble seeing the connection between Kakeya and Harmonics.

So I did what every AI fan would do: asked Fable 5 to do the research and build an educational game https://github.com/Quantisan/kakeya-game

5M tokens later, I’m still clueless. The game Fable built seems to repeat one of the videos almost step by step.

Normally, you’d prompt an LLM with your question and ask it to explain. But I don’t know what I don’t know, and I have a hard time articulating that gap. So what then?

Suggestions? (not looking for more explainers, I want to learn how to learn with AI)
