You can't attack other users like this, no matter how right you are or feel you are, nor how justified or strongly you feel. Preserving a container for respectful interaction here is more important, and we need commenters to contribute to that, not destroy it. If you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not post like this again, we would appreciate it.

Edit: as your most recent comments have all been breaking the site guidelines in a similar way, I've banned this account. It's not ok to do that here.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

Sorry, I can see how what I wrote wasn't clear. Let me put it this way: you can criticize EA without attacking a specific person. What you did in the GP comment was to make a statement attacking the person and then mention EA as an afterbit. That made your comment a personal attack, which is not ok on HN.

Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic flamewars, regardless of which nation you're for or against. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

The person in your comment was not EA.

There's always a way to make your substantive points thoughtfully, though of course this takes more time and energy - sometimes a lot more - but if you'd please invest the effort to do that when commenting here, we'd appreciate it. Or, of course, it's always an option not to post.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. You're welcome here, but we're really trying for a different kind of internet discussion, so we can't have commenters breaking the rules so badly.

Can you please not post AI-generated or AI-edited comments to HN? It's not allowed here - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.

Please don't cross into personal attack or post flamebait or take HN threads on generic tangents. We're trying for something different here.

Please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't. That's also a snark trope, and we're trying to avoid those here.

It's true that metacommenting about leaving a discussion in order to leave a supercilious last word is a flamebait trope. But please don't respond by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

New comment by dang in "Moonshot’s Kimi uses 20k Nvidia chip cluster from Alibaba"

dang — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:45:38 +0000

From a superficial look I think the submitted title ("Moonshot built on 20k Nvidia chip cluster from Alibaba") might have been misleading. Article says "That hardware forms a substantial chunk of the overall computing capacity Moonshot uses for its Kimi models", implying that other hardware was also used.

(We've changed the title to what the article says now.)

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait, and also please stop using HN primarily for political/ideological battle?

These things are not what HN is for, and destroy what it is for, so we ban accounts that do them repeatedly.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

You can't attack another user like this here, and we ban accounts that do, so please don't do it again.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Edit: it looks like your account has posted over a dozen of these hostile replies to the same user. This borders on harassment and certainly is not a good way to participate in the community. Please stop doing this and focus instead of using HN as intended: to explore things that you're personally curious about, not to prosecute agendas.

Edit 2: attacking other users, as you did at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49086538, is obviously not ok either. If you keep breaking HN's rules, we are going to ban you, so please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to them going forward.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

If you know more than others do, that's great! But please contribute by sharing some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn, rather than putting others down.
