Can you please edit this kind of thing out of your HN comments? (This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.)

It leads to a downward spiral, as one can see in the progression to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42604422 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42604728. That's what we're trying to avoid here.

Your post is informative and would be just fine without the last sentence (well, plus the snarky first two words).

Can you clarify this a bit. I presume you are talking about the tone more than the implied statement.

If the last sentence were explicit rather than implied, for instance

This article seems to be serving the growing prejudice against AI

Is that better? It is still likely to be controversial and the accuracy debatable, but it is at least sincere and could be the start of a reasonable conversation, provided the responders behave accordingly.

I would like people to talk about controversial things here if they do so in a considerate manner.

I'd also like to personally acknowledge how much work you do to defuse situations on HN. You represent an excellent example of how to behave. Even when the people you are talking to assume bad faith you hold your composure.

Sure, that would be better. It isn't snarky, and it makes fewer uncharitable assumptions.
I don't seem to be able to edit it, apologies I will try not to let this type of thing get to me in future.

I would also like to point out that this is a fine tuned classifier vision model based on mobilenetv2 and not an LLM.
