Writing across content types (fiction vs technical writing for example) will probably show different word frequencies, especially technical jargon, and so on. I have seen dang respond to users multiple times asking them to stop making new accounts especially but not always if it's to avoid rate limiting. *actually they arent really even false positives because the tool doesnt promise to detect alts in the first place, just find similar styles. it mainly showed my most recent accounts. Test one or many IoT business cases with a combination of preconfigured edge hardware, real-time data streaming software and different Edge IoT applications. So it's not only good for finding alternate accounts but could be used to find peer groups. (Presumably harder) but consistent substitutions like loose for lose, break for brake, etc. In my experience it is often an indicator of a good match (but not always). I make new accounts every so often and the accounts of mine that it found have a score of around 0.3. I think your tool should have internal embeddings for each of the user. Forget countermeasures, go covert. The highest match is my years old banned account that I forgot about. I had hard time to understand some comments made by my closest match. We wont have any anonymity soon. As you mention on the site, you don't do punctuation. What could be the harm in tracking underaged users site by site? It puts almost all of my old accounts decently near the top, but my original account is almost comically low. The top hit on my list looked familiar.

The other few usernames I tested (pg, dang, some random ones from this thread) all matched themselves at 1.0. If you don't mind sharing, are you "writing artificially" purely in your head, or are you using techniques like intermediate translations? Been reading papers for ideas and I think I may have to ditch the cosine similarity and go for something fancier soon.

This found an alt that I created specifically to see if I could write artificially to defeat this kind of analysis. I don't think there's a public list of all HN usernames is there? Not malware you find in networks. I did something like that long long ago in C for automatic document language detection. Use of Debbuging tools in ROS2. Your Numerology chart holds the key to understanding the undetected talents, hidden strengths, and other special gifts you were born with. In many cases, when a person uses an alt, it is a direct and strong signal that they do not wish their other posts to be associated. Tasks 1 Create a package Open a new terminal and source your ROS 2 installation so that ros2 commands will work. What other easily-built products do you think should not exist?

I could have used a part of speech tagger, looked at time of day a user posts, capitalization, spelling errors, etc. Ive had great success with stylometry that goes beyond TF-IDF with bags of words; including grammar patterns was shockingly good. Plus - the laws have extraterritoriality. I wonder if someone will come up with a Grammarly-like tool which you can feed with sample writings to help you increase/lower the similarity score of a new text you are writing. also maybe a tf-idf vector of top n words per user. I was aware there was a HN dataset on BigQuery but I had never used a library to work with it before and when I played around on the website the posts I got were all from 2015 at the latest. Here are some frequent HN commenters: (EDIT: Removed due to privacy concerns). You see pictures. My hunches stand corroborated. 0.46 - 0.56 are numbers. Maybe we are more comfortable with certain stop words more than others? You are definitely right. But obviously it is not guaranteed that every user has an alt. We should see it as an opportunity to learn how easy it is to associate different pseudonymous accounts. I think these are all common topics among HN readers and commenters. It means your writing is more unique and using an alt would be another "very unique" but only similar to yours. It's either pg or someone trying really hard to be pg. I have 3 matches above 0.6, and they're not me. I suspected the person had more than one account and this found one that is incredibly close, down to the topics. Important to stress how much of a technicality this is, but that sort of thing can be interesting sometimes. That's why I'm not sure I want to open source the code because I don't want to normalize this. All words have the same weighting. I am not sure where I stand on that. Wow, what an odd thing to get so worked up about. you dont realize how much data is out there. Obviously I'm not naming the account, but this functionality turned out way creepier than I thought the moment I tried it on the account of somebody who has a reason to disassociate from an existing public persona, but still wants to participate here.

Forget the alternate accounts if two users are close in style, theres a decent chance they should be friends. And I suspect he is right within a few percentage points. Users can also use shortcuts such as M (menus), H (headings), F (forms), B (buttons), and G (graphics) to jump to specific elements. A strong stylometric matcher ought to be robust against topic shifts (our personal writing style is what stays constant when we move from writing about one topic to writing about another topic, just like our personality is what stays constant about our behavior over time - of course styles do change, but the premise then has to be that such changes happen very slowly). to calculate the cosine of the two authors' word vectors, is poorly suited for stylometric analysis because it is based on a poster's lexicon and the word frequencies of each word, but ignoring stylistically relevant factors like word order.

Another idea I had was converting the scores which are just cosine similarity scores into percentiles (so 0.99 would be 99th percentile of certainty) to make them more human interpretable. But I will leave it at that. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09296174.2011.53 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755466. > In sitting down to write the novel, I decided to make it easy on myself.

Most people greatly underestimate the power of linkage attacks on anonymity. False positives become an increasingly difficult problem the more and more potential authors you introduce. Connects to InfluxDB and OSISoft Pi to record time series results over long periods of time for inspection and analysis later, Connect to IoT devices using MQTT protocol for example. Better to know what's possible and take measures to make it less effective. Also, since this uses only word frequency, there are probably relatively easy improvements to make that would make it even more powerful, like looking at particular runs of words that are unique. You could be right actually.
