#82What exactly is the "N strength · Top N%" referring to? My name is most likely 100% unique in the world, seems I'm in about 50% of the weights, but I'm really not sure I understand what those yellow numbers mean.
A completely made up name got "110 strength · Top 60%" and "hits" in GPT-5.5 and "Gemini 3.1 Lite", not sure what to make of that either.

#83For something that's a toy project, and definitely doesn't seem it's a transparent attempt to get HN user's names, there sure are a lot of tracking cookies for such a website.

This is directional; models self-report confidence on their answers and the strength is a linear combination of the confidence plus a bonus for every model that got clustered in.
Models are notoriously uncalibrated especially for self-reporting confidence so I would treat it lightly. Hopefully I can study this a bit later on!

What tracking cookies are you seeing? The intention was just some cloudflare checks for spam identification

#86I only got hallucinations of random combinations of my (fairly unique) last name & first names that do not exist, combined with very accomplished and completely fictional biographies. I guess I'm not notable enough which is somewhat comforting.

#87I have an unusual name, and have published a book with some minor fame (which is the first google result for my name). Querying ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc. gives a reasonably accurate summary of my public info.
OTOH, this tool describes me as a "security researcher known for talks and writing on JavaScript, Node.js, and web security."
I am not a security researcher and have never given any such talk and know precious little about Node.js or web security.

#88Initial reaction was "wow! I guess I have the same name as a Canadian actor!" And then I looked it up and figured out that I do not, in fact, share my name with a Canadian actor. Kimi K2 and GLM both hallucinated the same thing.

#89I have yet to get the page to load, but due to gmail mixups I've been confused with a retired professor of economics in the UK, and also got a pair of tickets for a King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard concert.

#90I typed my boss' name in and it returned:
"No stable person found"...
