Hacker-News Buddies

Find hackernews audience whose comments matches most to you.

This is based on tf-idf weighted keywords match from comments. Covers data from Jan 1, 2020 through May 31, 2026. Keywords that are too rare or too broad across authors are filtered out before scoring.

Due to above filtering, a lot of the authors are NOT covered here. Full coverage would have yielded more than a few trillion records, and I don't have that much compute or disk.

You can also see who talks most about certain topic or keyword. For example,

NSA: https://hn-buddies.stupidlabs.lol/?keyword=nsa

Trump: https://hn-buddies.stupidlabs.lol/?keyword=trump

This also lets you uncover duplicate accounts. For example:

1. "fdklhhjf" and "selamcan"

2. "angkatoto" and "jalantoto"

3. "Donnakravo" and "dommakravosec" and "kravossedonna" and "kravosdonna"
