- onewland 17y agoI had the same reaction. A little flattering, but I think it has to do with brevity more than anything. edit: just realized that by default it's only returning the rockstars of the site (e.g. people high up on the leaderboard).
- CrazedGeek 17y agoI checked a few people, and it seems like patio11 is in all of their results. I wonder why?
- riffer 17y agoA big part of it is that the default settings reward comment karma fairly heavily. Try moving the sliders around. For example, with the defaults, patio11 is the top result for your username, but at the karma slider midpoint he's out of the top 12.
- riffer 17y agoEverybody here has somewhat similar interests to pg. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. ;)
- run4yourlives 17y agoI'm up there with patio11, but not pg. (I get nostradeamous) Not sure what that means though.
- mixmax 17y agoNostra who?
- nostrademons 17y agoMe, presumably.
- mixmax 17y agoObscure pun, it's meant to be flattering. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=181868 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=181868 :-)
- run4yourlives 17y agoYeah, sorry about the spelling.
- randallsquared 17y agoInterestingly, nostrademons and pg are the top two for me, so I wonder what would produce one but not the other. I'd love to see if comments could be separated into [user1]-like comments and [user2]-like comments.
- riffer 17y agoYeah, one potential solution is lists of users. Another route might be clustering ('technical', 'political', etc.)
