It has me through my open source contributions, but interestingly it claims the same regardless of what I use as a given name, as long as I keep the (fairly unique) surname. So my whole extended family are open source contributors.

#192After searching "foo", if you try to search "foobar", it deletes "foo" and searches "bar".

#193A semi-famous-in-academia family member seems to be in all of the weights, except for llama3.2 1B and qwen3 8B. You'd expect the 1B to be the worst, but actually it got quite close.. qwen3 8B was a complete hallucination.
Re: Show HN: Are You in the Weights?
#194Yeah, that went about as well as I would have expected. It dug up a bunch of what can only be my information, then made up a bunch of confidently wrong things to say about me. I'm a Software Engineer and SaaS guy, known for running the company "[random word from my blog] Software" and his [different word from my blog] Blog. Founder of three separate startups I've never heard of and may not exist, and well known contr…
I don't know what people expect. If you ask a random person to recall anyone they've ever known, you're going to get a lot of "don't they have a blog called software? And maybe they're into photography too?". That's just how information works. The only difference with an LLM is that it won't say "maybe".
No, a normal person would say, "I don't know them."
Silicon Valley bros, on the other hand...

#195PRIVACY WARNING: Every name/text entered into this site is publicly listed on the "latest" leaderboard which seems to paginate endlessly.
Just deployed a fix for this; removed latest and capped pagination.
update to my previous comment:
All the data is still public. There are more than 104000 entries now.
The original name, that was searched, is also stored in the data (in another field; somehow I missed that before).
@tourtlesoup: Why don't you restrict the access and why don't you put a warning on your page?

#196There's a famous son of a star, his fame comes from drug addiction and felonies. I'm doomed to have this bias on my name forever...

#197Nice retro styling
just to be clear, you have each search running on all those models? Self hosted a lot of them right?
Re: Show HN: Are You in the Weights?
#198This is fun!
Great design and artwork. How did you generate the portraits?
Have you thought about extending this into some sort of pipeline for AIO?

#1996 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.

Same with me, apparently three different models think I am a minor football player. Looking it up, I am not the first result for my full name, but there also is no minor football player with that name, so… Also have an extremely common name in Portugal (just in my company there are 4 people with my name, including my previous manager), only slightly helped by the fact that we’re one of the few countries that inherits…
> Same with me, apparently three different models think I am a minor football player.
I read the parent comment’s blog post right before coming back and reading your comment, and for a moment I thought you meant “models” as in “fashion models” (which makes sense with the footballer) and was expecting a crazy story.
That made me remember how much more fun HN was before it became AIN. It can’t be good for any of us to be inundated with the same subject everyday.
Re: Show HN: Are You in the Weights?
#200Ha ha! Yes I am in the weights apparently. Nearly all the models know what I do. I suspect being in the Open Source world is a bit of a bubble as far as the weights are concerned. Anyway it stroked my ego nicely even though it was totally artificial, like Zaphod Beeblebrox surviving the Total Perspective Vortex.
