Discover what your comments reveal about you?

I made a tool that profiles you using nothing but your HN comments. You've been telling Hacker News everything about yourself for years without realizing it. This tool just reads it back to you. You're welcome, and I'm sorry it's going to ruin your evening.

I sort of agree with its assesment. Recency bias is a bit strong.

It did suddenly worsen though. I was checking if it's assesment was deterministic or not.

That's kinda neat, actually.

The summary appears to have a pronounced recency bias. Is that intentional?

Imagine what the NSA has on us.

Oops. Just just added to my "Frequent criticism of US military, surveillance, and big tech (many comments)." score.

Neat tool. I always presumed this existed which is why I really try and speak in generalities and minimize details about myself if I can. What model are you using? How many tokens are we spending running a search?

Well, I could use this as a resumé, it’s a pretty generous (yet true) account of my professional skills and knowledge.

I am a bit disappointed it did not catch my ‘subversive’ tendencies, such as defending anarchism, being critical of democracies, being anti AI to the point of extremism, and a few other things that are between me and the three-letter agencies with their more thorough profile.

I think it is confusing me for someone else. It is probably typo-correcting my handle to something else.

Apparently I have lots to say about terraform, kubernetes and docker. I certainly don't :)

I would have to remind myself what terraform does, just in case my past self ever knew.
