Hey HN

We loaded a BigQuery dataset of all of Hacker News, every comment, story and user, into camelAI.

You can ask questions like:

• “When does dang tend to comment during the day?”

• “Which domains have gained the most submissions since 2015, year-over-year?”

• “How has average comment length changed each January since 2007?”

• “Top five users who link to arXiv papers the most.”

It's behind a log-in to prevent abuse but free to use for 10 messages. No payment info required. We use OpenAI o3 or Claude sonnet 3.7 for the agent which can be really expensive.

Would love feedback especially around graph/chart quality and o3 vs sonnet.

Should anyone from camelAI be present, a quick note: the page at https://camelai.com/data-sources currently renders blank—none of the data sources appear.

EDIT: oh, I guess that'd be you, vercantez :)

Thanks for catching that! Should be fixed once the cache invalidates

Nice.

Ask it about the estimated capabilities of the NSA according to all posts/comments.

Very enjoyable discussion history graph.

I've always wondered what the copyright status is for comments on Hacker News.

My comments are under CC-BY-SA for humans, but any incorporation of my comments into an AI model entitles me to 5% of your company's common stock.

You should make a page with some browsable pre-generated pages and post again to spark interest

"What do you think about user XYZ?" or "What do you think about the comments of user XYZ?"

It starts a whole lot of SQL queries that find and aggregate data & statistics

It must have a very interesting and well written system prompt for this type of questions.

(gives me second thoughts about my personal approach to privacy)
