I made this by mining the “Related:” comments that people make. I figured they might be a way to link together the vast canvas of Hacker News to itself, and aggregates in one place discussions that spanned time and threads. My main goal was seeing HN respond to stories that develop over time. Technically, I just scanned the 46 million HN items and aggregated clusters via these related comments. That results in a small corpus of 36500 clusters. Also doing a quick bag-o-words sanity check to ensure titles were somewhat consistent. There’s multiple ways to sort it, so you can explore. Hope you enjoy finding some stuff here!
