It's not that silly IMO, Chain LLMs together like composing functions, however I guess 'Chain' has a certain connotation in 2023 after the last few years of crypto.
You should have led with generosity instead of tacking it on at the end.
It might have saved me from having a ridiculous conversation about the cadence of my words, and instead there might have been a higher chance of someone saying something substantive about my assumptions regarding the technology.
It’s pretty clear that we are in the phase where everyone is rushing to get a slice of the pie selling dubious thing and people start parroting word soup hoping they actually make sense and fearing they will miss out. That’s indeed what people often and rightfully satirise about the IT industry. That’s the joke phase before things settle.
How is it satire to be excited and interested in how to use compelling and novel technology? There's a lot of activity. Not everyone involved is an idiot or rube. The jadedness makes my head spin.
It's not idiocy. If you don't see the slight ridiculouness in the world soup of the original commenter, I can't do anything for you. I'm not jaded. I'm amused you are all so deconnected from the normal world you think this kind of situation is somehow normal and not at all funny.
I'm not considering outsiders. Why should I. It's a reasonable assumption that readers of HN are accustomed to ridiculous sounding tech product names. Further, this is a comment on a thread regarding a particularly new technology in a particularly newly thriving domain. The expectation should therefore be that there will be references to tech even more esoteric than normal. The commenter should have instead thought: oh, new stuff, I wonder what it is, instead of being snarky and pretentious. Man, HN can be totally, digressively insufferable sometimes.
I was responding to your confusion as to why someone might think you were writing a parody.
You ran into the tech equivalent of poe’s law. You said something that makes perfect sense in your technical sphere, but it read as indistinguishable from parody to an audience unfamiliar with the technologies in question.
There are more of us that read and shake our heads with you than these cretins who want to tear down - on a tech news site of all places. Don’t be dismayed, and there are more of us with you than against you.
Hahaha "The first step of Byzantine Fault Tolerance is tolerance" omg. That cracked me up. Reminded me of the Rockwell Encabulator: https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w
