Math is the reason I'm not using substack. I'm using Ghost instead where math is seamless because of MathJax integration (even \ref works to create clickable links to equations, like on stack exchange forums) (https://machine-learning-etc.ghost.io/), waiting for substack to improve math support before I switch here

For you, what's the draw of Substack over Ghost?

The community effect. It's becoming an intellectual version of twitter. For ghost I have to do extra work for publicity

Yes I *always* get the bad rendering :(

But had never tried refreshing. This just worked actually!

At least for me, the math equations rendered fine in app on iOS. Also, I finished a controls and signal processing masters at UM - Ann Arbor and the hashing out deep technical thoughts is why I’m reading your blog in the first place. I don’t get to do much looking at equations in actual controls implementation work, since 98% of the issues are code and timing issues, not fundamental control limits. That makes seeing equations and thinking about fundamentals deeply satisfying, so keep it up!

For me, with a desktop browser, they render fine - until I click on the page for any reason, at which point any equation disintegrates into Latex ASCII. Seems they're not feeling the 100x AI-software-developer-productivity-improvements yet

KLatexformula (https://klatexformula.sourceforge.io/) to generate and then transfer (as an image or via copy & paste) may be worth a try.

Ghost looks cool. If the blog isn't going to be monetised, I reckon Ben can reach his current readers just all right.
