IMO, using AI to assign keywords to a broader group of strict synonymous keywords would make the comparison much more helpful.

Because in general we want to know the trend of categories more than of a word, asking for “auto pilot” for ex. should include “self driving”, FSD etc.

Hello HN, This was a small project of mine after I've found out that I can simply the whole hackernews archive (~48GB) and play around with it. You can compare terms just like in google trends and you can also see the exact posts & comments from that time. I like that you can discover what went crazy in the timeline, they just come up as small burst of activity, it's quite fun to play around with it. https://hackerne…

Honestly the HN archive is very valuable. If you had it all on a local db with everything indexed you basically end up with a offline search engine.

Where is this archive located you speak of?

Hug of death ` /api/hn -> 504 An error occurred with your deployment FUNCTION_INVOCATION_TIMEOUT cle1::c8vgv-1782399959042-aeba3cae05ff `

If this project is an ad for their product (Upstash, promising "Highly Available, Infinitely Scalable"), then the last thing they'd want is a hug of death :/
