    Hey @MrEd, does your stats page keep recording data till the thread is closed, or is it till the end of the GA period?

    Its tracking till I stop it, and that usually happens when new thread is created :D There is no automation in place for stopping :)

    Set it to the announcement date and conserve your home bandwidth.

    I don't care about my home BW. I have 1Gbps FTTH :D

    Lol check this page
    https://racknerd.projecthive.eu/ny2024/

    11k? Jeez, guess makes sense for how long it runs for. Guess I under estimate time

    They started posting quotes at some point that's probably what made the comments reach that high haha.

    Yup, last few threads went crazy, pretty quick. 13K comments! Never again.

    What do you think of this year's thread? Do you think you can pull 5k comments?

    He is 20% there, and its only a week passed :D My prediction is he will get the 5k :)

    Oh yeah ahhaah, So, I guess the 2nd guy will be like 3k and the 3rd will be very close as well. btw, can you change the similarity to 70% real quick? I wanna see something :wink:

    No, I cannot. I would have to reindex everything, because similarity is stored in the DB. What would you want to check?

    Oh, that's a bummer. I'm really interested in data and curious about how things work on the back end. I hope Dustin has access to a more advanced system, as it would be great to see how the stats are managed and interpreted. I'm sure there's a lot of potential for insightful analysis!

    I have already said multiple times. Your message text (removig quotes, images, youtube links) is compared to other messages of yours and Levenshtein distance is calculated (how many symbols need to be changed to get the new message). If the distance is less than 3 or 90% of messages match, it is treated as similar.

    Do you know what's a good idea? Adding an about page on the Stats website. Over the three threads that I have participated in, this has been a recurrent question. And, if you prolly were to check, "Levenshtein distance" is probably the keyword that would have given you the most similar comments :D. Just kidding!
    But, seriously, just an about page with a brief idea on how it is calculated and then, you can just link everyone who asks to that page. If they still don't understand, add a link to Google on the about page.

    Maybe that is a good idea, but on the other hand, answering this question increases my comment count by 1 :D

    you could have it increase by 1.69 if you wanted to :lol:

    There was a time MrEd had all the comments to himself.

    he still has all the data to train LLM personas :lol:

    Ollama.MrEd when? I really like his code optimization approach.

    Good morning guys.

    Good morning, whats up bro

    Seems you are on fire. With this pace you'll dethrone noob404 soon. :p

    Yeah, i'll go sleep in a bit and dethrone him in my dreams :lol:

    You think you are sleeping, but your hands will keep typing and post in RN thread. :p

    That's quite possible :lol: @noob404 Get ready, i'm coming for you >:)

    Was busy and tired yesterday. So, called it an early day.

    There's noob! still reigning in at #1 strong. Was wondering if you would be making an appearance here tonight during my visit. I was getting worried you had thrown in the towel and decided to settle exactly where you were. Dustin is slowly catching you but fortunately for you i am assuming he has made himeself ineligible

    You can't win your own giveaway 🤣

    How's that? Explain?

    Imagine Dustin competing hahaha, The guy is already smoking us, might as well dethrone noob in the long run in case he missed a day or two :mrgreen:

    Dustin has a lot of "double" posts to reply :D

    He will probably top the similar comments chart. But, still it's impressive how he comes up with a new chunk of text for almost every double bandwidth comment.

    I am also surprised by the uniqueness of his responses :)

    I mean, I am surprised cause, he's only letting them know that their bw has been doubled. But, almost every time, he comes up with a slightly different way to notify them.

    I just checked now. Some of Dustin's similar comments are "Previous giveaway winners have been DM'd", but most are still for "double" responses. :)

    Well, as long as Dustin doesn't spontaneously decide to give weightage to similar comments in the final ranking, it should be fine. He hasn't yet made any unpredictable changes to rules (take NY2024 for example). So, we should be fine, Ig.

    I see. Was curious if the 'unique users' reflected only for the giveaway period or longer.

    I think BF2023 was almost stopped at the date of finish, because NY thread started. The NY stats are way off from the finish, because page was running till this thread start...

    If yes, he'd sell it to RN for a huge sum, cause that'd free up Dustin's schedule and also the Chef's.

    Oh yah, I am so sorry. Forgot about that. In that case, why not just add the about page and link to it instead of replying maybe with a lil bit of additional info. specific to the question. This way, you do get your comment +1 but also save some time typing the same thing over again.
    BTW, all of this is a suggestion. Please feel free to ignore.

    If there was about page, user might skip asking :) So I would not have an answer post :D

    How's that? Explain?

    Imagine Dustin competing hahaha, The guy is already smoking us, might as well dethrone noob in the long run in case he missed a day or two :mrgreen:

    Dustin has a lot of "double" posts to reply :D

    He will probably top the similar comments chart. But, still it's impressive how he comes up with a new chunk of text for almost every double bandwidth comment.

    I am also surprised by the uniqueness of his responses :)

    I mean, I am surprised cause, he's only letting them know that their bw has been doubled. But, almost every time, he comes up with a slightly different way to notify them.

    I just checked now. Some of Dustin's similar comments are "Previous giveaway winners have been DM'd", but most are still for "double" responses. :)

    Did you train a dustic llm persona yet :lol:

    If yes, he'd sell it to RN for a huge sum, cause that'd free up Dustin's schedule and also the Chef's.

    RN would train their own LLM though they have so much compute

    True. Think about the free time Dustin would have, if he had such a model.

    Hey @MrEd, does your stats page keep recording data till the thread is closed, or is it till the end of the GA period?

    Its tracking till I stop it, and that usually happens when new thread is created :D There is no automation in place for stopping :)

    Set it to the announcement date and conserve your home bandwidth.

    I don't care about my home BW. I have 1Gbps FTTH :D

    IP rate limiting might be introduced just for your home ip.

    get it whitelisted from mods

    It's not issue though it scraps data in big intervals.

    Lol check this page
    https://racknerd.projecthive.eu/ny2024/

    11k? Jeez, guess makes sense for how long it runs for. Guess I under estimate time

    They started posting quotes at some point that's probably what made the comments reach that high haha.

    Yup, last few threads went crazy, pretty quick. 13K comments! Never again.

    What do you think of this year's thread? Do you think you can pull 5k comments?

    He is 20% there, and its only a week passed :D My prediction is he will get the 5k :)

    Oh yeah ahhaah, So, I guess the 2nd guy will be like 3k and the 3rd will be very close as well. btw, can you change the similarity to 70% real quick? I wanna see something :wink:

    No, I cannot. I would have to reindex everything, because similarity is stored in the DB. What would you want to check?

    Oh, that's a bummer. I'm really interested in data and curious about how things work on the back end. I hope Dustin has access to a more advanced system, as it would be great to see how the stats are managed and interpreted. I'm sure there's a lot of potential for insightful analysis!

    I have already said multiple times. Your message text (removig quotes, images, youtube links) is compared to other messages of yours and Levenshtein distance is calculated (how many symbols need to be changed to get the new message). If the distance is less than 3 or 90% of messages match, it is treated as similar.

    Do you know what's a good idea? Adding an about page on the Stats website. Over the three threads that I have participated in, this has been a recurrent question. And, if you prolly were to check, "Levenshtein distance" is probably the keyword that would have given you the most similar comments :D. Just kidding!
    But, seriously, just an about page with a brief idea on how it is calculated and then, you can just link everyone who asks to that page. If they still don't understand, add a link to Google on the about page.

    Maybe that is a good idea, but on the other hand, answering this question increases my comment count by 1 :D

    you could have it increase by 1.69 if you wanted to :lol:

    There was a time MrEd had all the comments to himself.

    he still has all the data to train LLM personas :lol:

    Oh yeah, I still make the DB backups before starting a fresh one :D I am a hoarder :D

    Oh yah, I am so sorry. Forgot about that. In that case, why not just add the about page and link to it instead of replying maybe with a lil bit of additional info. specific to the question. This way, you do get your comment +1 but also save some time typing the same thing over again.
    BTW, all of this is a suggestion. Please feel free to ignore.

    If there was about page, user might skip asking :) So I would not have an answer post :D

    Man, I didn't even consider that. Scratch that. Don't add the about page, and maybe not even the earlier archived pages as well. That way when people ask about earlier stats, you'd have a comment.
    Thanks for the stats page anyways.

    Makes sense. Wish some of those residential IP providers conducted a GA as well, so, you could route it through their IPs.
