I would be incredibly surprised if we are contained within it. I would be kind of surprised if we’re contained to 90% within any 10X larger group. There is definitely a large overlap with Hacker News.
I concur. I can’t think of any Internet group I know of that LW overlaps substantially with. I can spot small segments of groups I’m in and around (Wikipedia, RationalWiki) and I’m actively trying to recruit people with an interest in rambunctious philosophy discussion … LW has actually interested me in and taught me about philosophy more than anything I can think of, and I studied the stuff many years ago.

I note fair levels of overlap between less wrong and those in the transhumanist, H+, singularity, & cryonics communities.
(cough) well, yes, apart from them, given it’s run by the SIAI :-)
I feel the same way, for what it’s worth.
Most of the NYLW regulars aren’t HN readers.
