We should do a "Most HackerNews HackerNews Comment Of The Year" award each year; in homage to the O.G. [1]. I'd like to nominate this comment.

That is a poor example of the thing you’re trying to mock. That exchange is an example of what one should do, it does not deserve derision. dang explained it well:

I proposed the nomination of an award to this commentator! That's hardly derision.

I'm actually a little hurt that you would treat my comment with such derision :(

Awards can definitely be derisive.

I agree with the premise but this isn't a great nomination, I think saying "this device won't appeal to the niche LLM gadgetry crowd" is valid in this case since yeah, it won't.

While it's not a great one, it certainly checks the tone deaf attitude some HN comments have.

Agree. LLMs are really next generation requirements. Previously people would run a dozen docker containers in Kubernetes cluster on Mac or further before a dozen linux VMs etc and predictably but sadly macs never worked well for these requirements.

It's also not like the comment was claiming the iMac isn't going to sell well. (And to be fair, it probably won't sell spectacularly well compared to than prior iMacs anyway, given how the MacBooks, Mac Minis, the Mac Studio, etc. have eaten that desktop's lunch.)

Hrm. My OG vote goes to:

That was hilarious, thank you for posting this :-)

That's a great piece of HN lore.

Same original article:

Tarsnap is functionally unchanged as a start-up and Dropbox is $2.5bn in revenue

Why can't I see this comment when viewing the original article?

Probably because it was flagged.

Do you have showdead enabled? The chain is flagged so I think it would be hidden by default.

This isn’t even a comparable or relevant comparison.
