The page states:

In late 2023, a Reddit user known as "evilscientist311" conducted a comprehensive analysis of Cleo's activity patterns and interactions with other Stack Exchange accounts.

However, I and others were on the scent at least as far back as April, 2023. See for example: https://x.com/TheDavidSJ/status/1650957407902658571

Edit the wiki and add it!

I didn't because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

Can another editor who doesn't have such a conflict of interest simply use your above HN comment as a citation and fix the page?

valleyer · 2026-10-08T19:13:03 1791486783

No, because their HN comment is a primary source, not a secondary source.

How does it feel to be stalking someone who has attempted to remain anonymous and was actively doing good ?

And apparently the writer of this blog post too.

Sometimes the temperature is much higher than 20° C, and it is very hard to be comfortable or do productive work.

blauditore · 2026-09-20T20:11:33 1789935093

That's true, although having 19° inside when it's 30° outside is bad for several reasons. My office (in Europe) gets cooled down in summer to like 23°, and that's already inconvenient when wearing appropriate summer clothes. And no one is expected to wear formal clothing.

I never set my AC to lower than 25°C. Why would you need below 20°C? Is it something about having only a single unit for the hole house/office, where it's then uncomfortably freezing in one area, just to have a normal temperature in the distant areas? Crazy.

DavidSJ · 2026-09-23T04:04:32 1790136272

Why would you need below 20°C?

I don't, and I don't think the "obsession with AC" is from people who do, it's just people who want a tolerable indoor environment in the summer.

> Why would you need below 20°C?

For example because I literally can’t sleep well above 20°C.

Its first appearance on the WayBack Machine is October 13, 2009, which narrows the range somewhat.

> Worse than 0.01% of humans means that there are 8,000,000 people better than it. I know that's being pedantic I understand what you're saying.

Since we're being pedantic, it means that there are (approximately) 800,000 people better than it. ;)

You're right, forgot a factor of 10 whoops
