Show HN: HN Wrapped 2025 - an LLM reviews your year on HN
I was looking for some fun project to play around with the latest
Gemini models and ended up building this :) Enter your username
and get: - Generated roasts and stats based on your HN activity
2025 - Your personalized HN front page from 2035 (inspired by a
recent Show HN [0]) - An xkcd-style comic of your HN persona It
uses the latest gemini-3-flash and gemini-3-pro-image (nano banana
pro) models, which deliver pretty impressive and funny results. A
few examples: - dang: https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/dang - myself:
https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/hubraumhugo Give it a try and share
yours :) Happy holidays! [0]

|
| This is really awesome, I liked how it really detected my

|
| 100% accurate lmao, but for what it was worth i was trying it

| bits of storage which are persisted forever in signal's database
| iirc so it would've been a shitty link shortener but still I just
| loved signal and kinda wanted to build something on top of it
|
| Do I really yap so much about chemistry here, I think that I have
| created more topics, surely lol but still I still enjoyed this a
| lot, maybe it just catched up on these traits more since I am
| pretty damn sure that I might be the only person here commenting

| let me know if this idea fascinates someone lol
|
| Happy holidays to everyone, this time of the year must mean a lot
| to people and I appreciate the spirit of holidays and gift giving
| too :)
|
| Edit: also I love how it catches myself as existential since I
| genuinely had gotten existential because of hackernews once
| wondering what are the best ways to promote/grow open source so
| much so that I had written a manifesto, I can also be considered
| idealistic but I dont know why I forgot but "The FOSS

| In contrast to many others, I did not find this particularly
| interesting.
|
| - The comic on is oddly cropped and contains speech attribution
| errors.
|
| - It calls me an "extremist" regarding the wrong thing (I am many
| kinds of extremist, but certainly not Haskell).
|
| - It claims I believe "any software failure is merely a design
| error" which is a complete misunderstanding of the ideas I
| presented.
|
| - It says things like "the geometric mean of the snack bowl"
| which doesn't have meaning in English.
|
| I feel like it has picked up on certain keywords and then just
| rolled with its own stereotypes of what those keywords represent,
| rather than actually taking a good look at what _I_ think. A
| roast works because the roaster has clearly spent time and effort
| and care understanding the person roasted. This is way too
| shallow for that.
|
| The 2026 and 2035 predictions (with a few exceptions) don't make
| sense at all, and the jokes in them fall completely flat. They're
| not good anti-jokes either. If someone said something like it in
| a social situation it would be followed by an awkward silence.
|
| The vibe check and the time spent were really cool though. Super
| interesting. I would have loved to see those expanded.
|
| I don't mean to be negative. The project is cool. I just wish it
| would put its focus on the valuable parts, rather than the things
| it is weak at. I guess this is my 45 % pedantic, 25 % contrarian,
| 20 % analytical self speaking.

|
| - tried to fix the speech attribution errors in the xkcd

| it individually or per story?
|
| Specifically this roast:
|
| > You have commented about the specific nuances of Danish VAT
| and accounting system hardcoding at least four times, proving
| you are the only person on Earth who finds tax infrastructure
| more exciting than the books being taxed.
|
| _Yeah_ , but I did it on the same story (i.e. context).

|
| The wrapped is pretty much focused on the slop stuff. That's less
| interesting than the earlier parts of the year - I know what I've
| posted recently but have forgotten a lot more of what was going
| on a year ago or how the year developed.
|
| Roasts can be amusing but I don't think they're the right vibe
| for a wrapped. I know it's harder to get an LLM to write
| something witty and insightful than a witty but shallow quip so
| maybe that's why roasts are here. Wrappeds are sort of infodumps
| though and LLMs are good at that, maybe there could be a two
| stage step where it reasons about some custom quirky stats or
| factoids that work based on your profile and then the second
| stage generates them.

| An aside that I do want to mention here because it is a really
| unique way for many people to interface with LLMs: many
| commenters mention the model over indexing on a few comments they
| made that do not necessarily reflect of the broader themes of
| their writing. This is not any issue in the author's engineering
| but an inherent issue in LLMs. The reason it is so noticeable in
| this case is because the subject matter is extremely familiar to
| the user: themselves.
|
| LLMs consistently misrepresent information in this exact same way
| in, more critical applications. Because they are often employed
| on datasets that engineers and potentially end users are not
| deeply familiar with, the results often seem exceptional.
