I think I know why it was hard to identify the font. I used two:

The larger text (Orange) is 'Space Grotesk': https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Grotesk

The smaller text in black is 'Roc Grotesk'

> if there were the option to turn this off on most social media I would probably take it

This extension has 'manual' mode which only show the search field by default and then you get to fetch results at your command. Very much like an embedded search engine.

Its functionality is more like the book recommendations you come across on goodreads. It only shows when you visit a discussion you're interested in. The nature of this website by itself is quite different from other social media.

But I understand where you're coming from and appreciate you raising awareness.

I need to investigate what kind of mutations the other extension is doing to HN interface and figure out a way to be compatible with it on top of the native one.

I opened a GitHub issue if you're interested in following the status there: https://github.com/imdj/HNRelevant/issues/24

UPDATE: Based on initial look it seems that the 'Modern for Hacker News' extension completely restructures the DOM and uses its own class names. If someone have suggestions to be compatible with different designs, I'm down to do it.

- Visit a submission page like this Show HN.

- Check permissions for the extension. Maybe they were skipped on installation somehow.

- Are you using other extensions for HN? they might obstruct this extension from integrating with the site.

People act like embeddings are all you need for search.

Curse of dimensionality also means what you think is the most similar is not necessarily the most similar thing in vector space. See the last Hn discussion on word embeddings for some examples.

The idea is to then allow bloggers to link relevant posts so readers can easily traverse the web.
