Earlier quoted context omitted.

Create a new account every so often, don’t leave any identifying information, occasionally switch up the way you spell words (British/US English), and alternate using different slang words and shorthand.

And do what I do - paste everything into ChatGPT and have it rephrase it. Not because I need help writing, but because I’d rather not have my writing style used against me.

Look up "adversarial stylometry"

do the following: sample content from users on this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders and ask the LLM to rephrase it in their voice

I'm actually working on a browser extension to do just this with adversarial stylometry techniques

The best source for this data used to be Clickhouse ( https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIG1heCh0a... ), but it hasn't updated since 2025-12-26.

For the non-coders here, you can query and analyze all of play.clickhouse.com in Sourcetable's chat interface. You can also ask it for the code produced so you can copy/paste that back into the Clickhouse interface.

Wonder why median votes count is 0, seems every post is getting at least a few votes - maybe this was not the case in the past

Ahhh I get it the moment I asked, there are usually no votes on comments

Don't all comments start out with one vote?

I can't stand this and will actively discriminate against comments I notice in that voice. Even this one has "Not because [..], but because [..]"

I get your sentiment, though I think it's likely that people, on average, are going to organically start writing more and more like LLMs.

Under the Known Limitations section deleted and dead are integers. They are stored as 0/1 rather than booleans. Is there a technical reason to do this? You have the type right there.

By "to do this" do you mean to not use booleans? It's because the value does not represent a binary true or false but rather a means by which the item is deleted or dead. So not only would it not make sense semantically, it would break if a third means were introduced.
