All 6,170 comments were counted, but the two most-replied users cannot yet be named
Asked:
“On Hacker News, what other Hacker News user has the user "embedding-shape" most responded to, and what user has responded the most to comments made by "embedding-shape"? Don't consider submissions, only comments. Include all comments made by "embedding-shape", figure out what users they've most responded to, and what users has most responded to them.”
The live HN Algolia export holds 6,170 comments by embedding-shape, from account creation on 2025-10-27 through 2026-09-02. Every comment’s parent and immediate child replies were extracted — 10,709 distinct counterpart comment IDs — but bulk resolution of those IDs to author names was blocked by public API limits, so neither winner can responsibly be named.
