alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files
Hi everyone! My name's Luke and I made the original Jmail here alongside Riley Walz. We had a ton of friends collaborate on building out more of the app suite last night in lieue of DOJ's "Epstein files" release.
Please AMA!

Anyone reading thru these and filtering out the promotion spam should consider taking a look thru. All his Amazon orders, which mostly are uninteresting sure, but scattered in there are books and eBook purchases dealing with some relevant and interesting-in-context topics.
Also, interesting that this one got by him (unopened, unread, filtered from inbox) and the timing of it being near his final arrest (coincidence, but still) https://www.jmail.world/eml/0b80588f551f3d097695f1c9507b6572
Never trust anyone with a network setup like this... https://www.jmail.world/photos?photo=EFTA00002627-0
You added icons and functionality to go to the beginning or end of search/inbox - Something that gmail just has never budged on having and always annoyed me! One of the first things I noticed. I must not be alone on this lol
Even just setting aside the criminal/salacious side... it is just so interesting to see the connections between the elite. Steve Bannon photographed chilling with Noam Chomsky, such a surprise. God, and Robert Trivers is in there too, eeh.
Why does this site work better on mobile than the real google suite. Funny stuff
I participated on this project, but I'm not the main contributor. In fact, I'm working on running an ML model to get some nice gaussian splat visualizations of some of the relevant images based on the recent release by Apple's model: SHARP. It allows doing inference of a PLY point-cloud based on a single JPG image.
Hopefully I can merge some UI for it soon, but I'm away from my main computer right now.
EDIT: I'm going to text my friend Luke to comment and answer any questions about the project.
EDIT2: I am also happy to expand on the technical details of the project once I get a stable internet connection.
Hey OP, just FYI "in lieu of" means "instead of".
You probably meant to use "in light of"
As someone from the other side of the pond, I have to ask: what do people expect from all of this?
It feels like this is a big smoke screen used by the current admin, first to be reelected, and now to distract people from what they are actually doing (like repeating they decreased drugs price by 600%, that they ended dozens of wars while dropping bombs daily all around the World...).
It also looks like it allows everyone to peek in other's people lives, which feels quite disturbing. Sure, some of them were/are terrible people. But there's also the victims here. Furthermore, is it how justice should work? Share everything to the world, and let everyone make their own judgement based on what they see?
Is there going to be some actual outcome? Both for the victims and for their offenders?
Or is it just a show where everyone can see them as detective/judge?
Just to add a bit more context: after years of trials, one of our former President finally went to jail for a few weeks. And now, they're invited by media all over the country so they can complain about how unfair it was, they published a book about it, sold in the tens of thousands, their son is the new TV's favorite...
So I'm wondering: is it actual justice at work, or just a distraction while nothing change and nobody is actually held accountable?
This is incredible. How are you hosting all this? There's got to be considerable cost. Meanwhile, this is a genuinely great way to browse through all these files. Seriously impressive work.
This is incredibly fascinating, not just because of who he was and the crimes he committed, but to see all this information on a specific person in one place is surreal.
How complete is the material? I've seen "experts" in Swedish news paper DN claim so much is censored it looks like a cover up. Has that been your impression too?
Text-only, No Javascript:
Not much to say other than that this is really impressive work. Thanks for putting it all together!
That's definitely more than 15 GB of free space given by Google! Great work!
Great project, thanks for building it
>i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. virignia spent hours at my house with him,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there
Hooo boy
You might want to consider getting rid of the Google product logos to avoid a cease-and-desist.

Is this the public release, or did you filter it down further?
Keep up the good work boys this is great stuff and is actually a pretty intuitive way to view the files, ive been sharing it for weeks now.
Way better than the DOJ UI but a pity the photo captions got stripped away
This project is truly next level rather fascinating. Particularly intriguing is observing JEE's considerable interest regarding human intelligence and artificial intelligence, engaging in discussions on these matters with Chomsky and Marvin Minsky.
The "Quora Digest" email killed me.
Most of the mails read like fake ones from a video game. Maybe it's because most of them were written by an older generation who uses more classic letter-style writing.
Wow, that’s impressive! Are you planning to open-source the project? =)
Complete side note but anyone else bothered by how they type? I guess email was being used much like texting here but still. Seems it's not just Epstein either.
> Hi Jeffrey long time now hear don't sweat Patterson was with trump last week small dinner he really would make a good financial steward no agenda woody is busting his ass for him Rudy too wiki leaks tonight on Hillary stopped caring fed wants to raise I guess terrible luck brexit Deutschebank then probably some terror thing smart to be out of it best jonathan

How can you post those emails and make a joke out of them - they have this footer that clearly states that if you are not a recipient you must delete the email immediately. Whole business world have this footer for a reason, for situations like this, so you can be sure your emails will not go public.
.world domain is a perfectly fit for this project, love to see more power brokers' profile joining this Jmail world
Should have called it Blackmail
Where did you get all the data? The justice.gov site didn’t have a mass download option that I could find.
"LIVE! Melinda Gates on How Empowering Women Changes the World"
lol
Epstein had a subscription to Intelligence Squared. I feel like his whole character has come into focus for me.
I would have put the “release” part in scare quotes as anything important has been redacted.

Nice using self-emails as a knowledge base.
Jemini is such a nice touch
Wonder how much that Clinton in a blue dress painting will go for.
Incredible! Great work!
One suggestion: please add previous/next navigation on the images, so that one doesnt have to open an image, close, open again.
I understand the desire to make a suite of apps, and to create something cool for people to play with. Is your motivation to involve your creation with this topic specifically because you desire to expose people doing bad things, for the righteousness and morality of such?
Also, do you feel it's more important that the information simply "gets out there" than there exist a coherent set of theses addressing questions like: 1) what was the nature, scope and purpose of the hustle Epstein was fronting/running? 2) Who unequivocally did bad things related to this?
It's not an either or, but right now it appears the topic is data without conclusion.
I think it would be interesting to target an AI at all the data and have it devise a set of theses with support. My feeling is the topic remains in a state of "100% data, 0% conclusions" - which appears to be a way to sate public curiosity while avoiding consequence.
I clicked on attachments, then images. There are only 9 images in this whole release?
being able to search through the files when they're purposefully so obfuscated is great
Wow, you cloned GMail completely within a short timefram? It looks more or less like the original Google product.
You could make a spinoff after this Epstein wave is gone: Use the front end to build a commercially viable product! :-)
Thanks for the ton of work!
Shoot I wish I would've have known there was a collab, would've loved to participate in this.
the J suite of products grows larger
with Epstein and ilk outed, the real question is who'll (or has) replace him?
My money is on Jared Kushner, as the front runner. He has access via Trump, connected to Russian jew mafia via his dad, & trusted by Mossad.
Search for “LSJ”: Little Saint James, his island.
impressive stuff
Hmm, no mention of BTC origins :(
Oh my, I think that’s the most impressive work I’ve seen here on the HN. Very well done! I hope the public would explore the whole thing pretty quickly. Personally, I afraid they, the files, were highly tampered with, so obviously a lot could be hidden. Yet, still, that’s an achievement we have this opportunity to explore the whole thing, I guess. So this project is impressive in many ways. I enjoyed exploring the interface, can’t believe that’s just a clone, not a real Google product!
I'm impressed. You guys cloned a whole suite of products in a short period of time that cost millions of dollars. Even the little bits of humor look costly.
On the other hand, it's way more information than I expected. I can see why someone would hesitate to release them - there's a lot to sift through and it's likely even the government couldn't sift through all of them to make sure their friends weren't mentioned somewhere.
