Alright, let me explain, hopefully simpler: GP made told us their experience with working with LLMs, and some pointers to what they found to be working. The comment I replied to just says "This is astrology for devs" which basically is a cheap putdown without any reasoning nor arguments for why the commentator believes so. My comment is urging them to actually participate in the discussion, not just post their soundbite they thought of in five seconds, so HN as a whole can remain good instead of devolving into reddit (which is a tale as old as HN, I know).

Hopefully it's understandable now, and hopefully you don't disagree :)

> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills

Indeed, with the corollary of, please don't write Reddit-tier comments on HN either, then one wouldn't have to say it's turning into Reddit.
Two wrongs don't make a right, as they teach us as children.
Awesome, you did understand the reference I made, I was afraid I was too sneaky about it but seems it was just clear enough :)
Of course! That point in the guidelines has links to some prior art in this vein. Highly recommend it for you.

And please, do better next time!

Whenever I make joke reference to the guidelines, I do promise I'll attach a link to them, just to make it extra clear, thanks! :)
Thanks for caring and being respectful.
