I'm genuinely confused by this comment. Can you explain why you think speculation about the hardware costs of Waymo robotaxi is at all related to a complaint about silly jokes on HN?

The complaint wasn’t about a silly joke. It was about low quality comments.

A comment that’s just “I think I remember ________” is about as low quality as it gets — especially when it turns out to be wrong.

I know low quality comments. I’ve contributed hundreds of them myself. Check my comment history if you don’t believe me!

Ah OK, I didn't follow because I strongly disagree that that's a low quality comment, even if it turned out to be wrong.

That isn’t a low quality comment it was widely reported at the time that each cost $250k. See for yourself https://www.google.com/search?q=waymo+each+cost+%24250k&rlz=...
