Funny thing is, it thinks I'm you, but it doesn't think you're me!

I'd have thought this stylometry thing would be commutative.

I guess it's a multidimensional space, so you can have someone closer to you than me, but they aren't also closer to me than you. Basically, they're close to you, but on the "other side" of me, I guess?

Don't need multiple dimensions for that.

0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1.0, 2.0

To 2.0, 1.0 is closest.

To 1.0, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1 are closer.

Thanks, seems obvious when you put it like that.

The word you are looking for is "symmetric".

stavrosk doesn't have any posts/comments? What's it using to match?

It's my old username.

Huh... seems there are some inconsistencies between what's presented on news.ycombinator.com and the Firebase API. Glad it matches for you though :)

I guess they just didn't go back and reparse, not a big problem. I don't think people change their username frequently :P
