628238 / 774235. If we were to gamify this I might as well be aiming for the bottom: https://xkcd.com/3110/
It's very useful project.
Well, 0.56% of a GoT volume... Not bad. Now I see why my keyboard is all blanked out :)
Well, I've written enough words on here to fill a small novel. I don't know if I should feel proud or depressed. I think I'll go with the latter though.
Who else sighed in relief in seeing that they are not top 1000 ?
Now please put in relation to up votes to identify frequent top commentors instead of plain spammers.
The other analysis is to see how many words per day you do, the hours you do them during, which days of the week you like to post, etc.
Funny enough I had another account that I hadn’t used in 2 years that is still in the top 100.
I'm genuinely concerned not finding my handle in the leaderboard will subconsciously have me believing I don't have an HN problem.
dang on position 4
didn't expect myself to be in the top 1.03%, as i only joined in 2020. which is 6 years ago. holy shit. maybe pasting a huge lorem ipsum or ai-word-slop in here would put me in the glorious top 1%!
Good to know I am top 1% of something. You made my day bro!
Heh. I'm quite glad I wrote more words of fanfiction than words of HN comments. Still near top 1000 sitewide, though.
The fact that my karma doesn't follow this pattern only goes to show I'm not properly an HN type. I seem to be constantly hating on HN favorite things, which is why I'm not sorry at all. I've generally ended up on the right side of history with all of these, but karma is forever :D
Divide words over karma and it turns out a lot of high ranking accounts just write up nonsense which gathers votes, lol.
I've found one with 1,000x more words than average and only 10x more karma. Extremely low signal-to-noise ratio, and that's not even accounting for handicaps, favored users, and so on.
It matches patterns in other media where the top 1% of content creators just put out rubbish, quantity, no quality.
Huh? Top 0.03%? English is not even my first language and I have never lived in any country where English is spoken.
Maybe that is more a representation of how many people don't post at all.
Ycombinator is a censorship machine ran by anti-democratic, anti-freedom fascists that are slowly rotting the core of our society to its knees.
needs a 1/(words/comment-karma) metric!
