I’ve been really interested in stuff like this recently. Not just Pocket saves but also meta analysis of ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude chat history.

I’ve been using an ultra-personalized RSS summary script and what I’ve discovered is that the RSS feeds that have the most items that are actually relevant to me are very different from what I actually read casually.

What I’m going to try next is to develop a generative “world model” of things that fit in my interests/relevance. And I can update/research different parts of that world model at different timescales. So “news” to me is actually a change diff of that world model from the news. And it would allow me to always have a local/offline version of my current world model, which should be useful for using local models for filtering/sorting things like my inbox/calendar/messages/tweets/etc!

A while back I made a little script (for fun/curiosity) that would do this for HN profiles. It’d use their submission and comment history to infer a profile including similar stuff like location, political leaning, career, age, sex, etc. Main motivation was seeing some surprising takes in various comment threads and being curious about where it might have came from. Obviously no idea how accurate the profiles were, b…

It'd be interesting to run it on yourself, at least, to see how accurate it is.

I built a similar tool that profiles/roasts your HN account: https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ It’s funny and occasionally scary Edit: be aware, usernames are case sensitive

As someone with a family background of more left leaning Catholics (which I think are more common in the US northeast), it's interesting that it decided that you are conservative based on Catholicism.

Born in Pittsburgh, raised Catholic, pretty darn liberal. We had alter girls in the 90s, openly gay members who had ceremonies in the church, etc. I'm not catholic now but that was a good church in the 80s and 90s.

Ironically, running your username works for me, but not my own. Maybe you can view it now? https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/gavinray?share

Pretty funny, I like it! Though the data seems biased towards more recent posts/comments and also submissions.

You should be able to use Google Takeout to get all of your YouTube data, including your watch history. This article is a nice example of someone using it: > When I downloaded all my YouTube data, I’ve noticed an interesting file included. That file was named watch-history and it contained a list of all the videos I’ve ever watched. https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/youtube-usage/ Of course as an European it's a legal…

Yes I've done this in USA. pretty neat. I have it on my todo list to parse over it and find all the music videos I've watched 3 or more times to archive them.

https://archive.zhimingwang.org/blog/2014-11-05-list-youtube... might be of use along with https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp, might just grab it all and prune later due to rot and availability issues over time within YT.
