The only USB-C AA battery I’d buy for myself is the Zepath 3600
Last September, a company named Lumafield scanned 1,000 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries to shine a light on the hidden risks of cheaping out. At roughly the same time, I found myself testing two awesome new kinds of AA battery that recharge using USB-C cables. It gave me an idea. Could we find the very best USB-C […]

Show HN: We fingerprinted 178 AI models' writing styles and similarity clusters
We have a dataset of 3,095 standardized AI responses across 43 prompts. From each response, we extract a 32-dimension stylometric fingerprint (lexical richness, sentence structure, punctuation habits, formatting patterns, discourse markers).
Some findings:
- 9 clone clusters (>90% cosine similarity on z-normalized feature vectors) - Mistral Large 2 and Large 3 2512 score 84.8% on a composite metric combining 5 independent signals - Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite writes 78% like Claude 3 Opus. Costs 185x less - Meta has the strongest provider "house style" (37.5x distinctiveness ratio) - "Satirical fake news" is the prompt that causes the most writing convergence across all models - "Count letters" causes the most divergence
The composite clone score combines: prompt-controlled head-to-head similarity, per-feature Pearson correlation across challenges, response length correlation, cross-prompt consistency, and aggregate cosine similarity.
Tech: stylometric extraction in Node.js, z-score normalization, cosine similarity for aggregate, Pearson correlation for per-feature tracking. Analysis script is ~1400 lines.
