This has received many upvotes and most focus on the interaction between human and machine, which is by all means interesting.

I wonder how many ppl can actually follow what's happening, I mean the math.

That may be true of a lot of posts on programming and other topics, nevertheless they are still interesting.

I would guess almost none, less than single digit percent. Only a small fraction of undergraduate math majors who happen to be interested in algebraic geometry would be able to understand this. The average HN user knows far less math than an average undergraduate math major. Of course there are also math PhDs and the like on here, but vanishingly few compared to the bulk of the site.
