I share my name with a famous sports star and that person comes up far more than me, which is understandable. It absolutely nails my username but I've used the same one online for almost 30 years. It'd be weird if I wasn't fairly well understood.

What this tells me is that I've done a decent job of keeping my real life and my internet personas nicely separated.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not cheap for sure but it's all for fun! I have done some optimizations to try to get cost as low as possible; the final clustering actually uses Kimi K2 for this reason. More info on https://intheweights.com/about

Because you don't have a privacy policy or anything really, I assume you're harvesting IP addresses and selling matches to the highest bidder.

There's a nice feature in Brave for sites with obvious privacy implications: right click -> Open link in private window with Tor.

PRIVACY WARNING: Every name/text entered into this site is publicly listed on the "latest" leaderboard which seems to paginate endlessly.

That's the first thing I looked to see HN-ers real names :-) and thought "hey, that's a pretty clever to get everyones' names".

Apparently it's fixed now. Surely you'll trust a random website...

Hah. My chosen name collision with my online handle makes the models consistent. They all are certain that I am an adhesives manufacturer. (Good!)

On the other hand, the tool did make an assessment of sorts: NO STABLE PERSON FOUND.

6 Football (soccer) players share my name and I still am at the top. Type "SEO" and I'll DM you my one little weird trick. /jk Fun story about my name [0], the bank couldn't mail me my debit card because the mailman kept crossing my address off the envelop.

Very fun!

One thing confused me in the story: are "Ibrahim" and "Ibrahima" interchangeable?

Naming children after grandparents gets particularly fun when meeting up with cousins!

Only a fool would enter their name in this.

From one person who's completely not-anonymous on HN to another: Why? Do you worry about the association of your IP address with your real name by yet another site other than any place you've made purchases from or signed up for an account from? (I'm asking seriously, as I can see some risk to having that linkage more public, but given the rate with which services holding PII are compromised and my own personal rate…

I think its guys just who don't really understand how the internet works. I'm flabbergasted that its 2026 and I still see the "oh no my IP" trope.

If you're worried about it use a VPN.

Your ISP anyway knows your IP or at the very least your current one if its dynamic.

> GEMINI 3.1 LITE SAYS A FRENCH DIPLOMAT WHO SERVED AS THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (BRAZZAVILLE) FROM 2017 TO 2020.

er. okay. The good thing about this test is that I am the only person in the world with my full name, and I know all the people with my last name (about 30-ish people). None of us are ambassadors, none of us are related to Congo in any way.

I have a beanie with your name on it somewhere! It was free swag from the adhesives company.

740, top 5%. Awesome.

Interestingly, almost all of them got it right (although one seems to think I was a VP at Datadog, and I've seen that error before in some LLMs). But Haiku just says "no one of that name seems to exist". So Haiku must be pretty pruned down.
