I just tried to post here on google clock icons and it told me a duplicate post already exists – how the hell did it do that – the title wasn't identical by any means. Is this google blogoscoped AI at work?! (;

I believe I'm first breaking up the words in the title, then normalize the words (and ignore common words like "the"), and then check all blog and forum posts from the last two months in the database for multiple (over 3) matches among these words. There's a little bug right now with certain embolding of result titles and snippets which I still need to work on...

well I was quite impressed! Mind you, it did stall for quite a while as it looked it up. I love following your experiments philipp, you're a creative kindred spirit!
