Clean, scrollable design that fits on one screen
From 2 comments
I was pleasantly surprised when I attempted to scroll down and realized everything the author wanted to present fit on-screen. It's almost ironic that this site is able to make…
nater5000 on HNI really love this. It’s comprehensive, it consolidates the data to the point where the argument effectively ‘makes itself’, and the way it’s presented respects the reader’s…

Interesting analysis of Claude vocabulary
From 1 comment
Really spectacular analysis – thank you for sharing, fun to scroll and easy to understand. Is it possible to expand this analysis beyond words to other Claude ticks? Contrastive…

Clusters are dominated by technical jargon, not English usage
From 1 comment
As of now, there are only 2 natural language clusters in the partition: Claudish and Spanish/French. From a first glance, the other clusters seem centered on technologies (lots…

iamacyborg on HNBesides vocabulary I'd also be curious about how it structures sentences. The "X, not Y" is well known, but another thing that bothers me is "It <verb>s no <noun>" instead of "It…

Questions
Is the measure relative frequency or absolute count?
From 1 comment
Is it relative frequency of those words or absolute number per PR? Would there be the same tendency of we looked simply at the number of words in a commit/pr? In my case my…

Why are these words spreading to other models too?
From 2 comments
While the post is specific to Claude, interestingly I found the same terms and language patterns appear noticeably more often in recent Open AI conversations as well. Also in the…
polycaster on HNI've recently seen this mentioned more and more, both on HN and on reddit. It seems these output patterns are getting worse. It's not just Claude, my impression is that all of…
