If you're not familiar with such overall big players, would anything help short of looking at some 101 first?

I am familiar, yet used this comment to confirm my initial assumption.

Abbreviations carry unnecessary cost on the side of the readers. There is always the chance that there is another shorthand for something else that is important and so there is a need to double check interpretations.

So thanks for the comment and no, a 101 wouldn't even help with this problem.

if you google "hf hack" the first result is OpenAI post-mortem official blog post so...

Lol! Does it matter? Using an unclear acronym in the first reference to an object, besides adding energy waste (for the execution of unnecessary searches by users unfamiliar with the subject), may only give the author of the comment the thrill of "being well informed, an insider".

Curse of knowledge. / Unsafe assumption.

Some users feel IP address, ISP, and LLM are clear. Fewer of those users will also reference HF. I have had to stop myself and type out Hugging Face.

HR perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

>Abbreviations carry unnecessary cost on the side of the readers.

They do, but the parent's question wasn't about the abbrebation (for which I'd cut them some slack) but extended to:

"Is that supposed to help? WTF is a HuggingFace?".

>So thanks for the comment and no, a 101 wouldn't even help with this problem.

Wasn't addressed to you though (don't even see any other comment of you in this subthread), but to @markdown, whose issue wasn't with the abbreviation alone.
