Exactly half of these HN usernames actually exist. So either there are enough people on HN that follow common conventions for Gemini to guess from a more general distribution, or Gemini has memorized some of the more popular posters. The ones that are missing:

- aphyr_bot - bio_hacker - concerned_grandson - cyborg_sec - dang_fan - edge_compute - founder_jane - glasshole2 - monad_lover - muskwatch - net_hacker - oldtimer99 - persistence_is_key - physics_lover - policy_wonk - pure_coder - qemu_fan - retro_fix - skeptic_ai - stock_watcher

Huge opportunity for someone to become the actual dang fan.

Before the AI stuff Google had those pop up quick answers when googling. So I googled something like three years ago, saw the answer, realized it was sourced from HN. Clicked the link, and lo and behold, I answered my own question. Look mah! Im on google! So I am not surprised at all that Google crawls HN enough to have it in their LLM.

I did chuckle at the 100% Rust Linux kernel. I like Rust, but that felt like a clever joke by the AI.

Every few years I stumble across the same java or mongodb issue. I google for it, find it on stackoverflow, and figure that it was me who wrote that very answer. Always have a good laugh when it happens.

Usually my memory regarding such things is quite well, but this one I keep forgetting, so much so that I don't remember what the issue is actually about xD
