Appreciating that not everyone tries to optimise for LLMs and we are still doing things like this. If you're looking at HN alone, it sometimes feels like the hype could drown out everything else.

There is massive hype, no doubt about it, but lets also not forget how LLMs have basically solved NLP, are a step change in many dimensions and are disrupting and changing things like software engineering like nothing else before it.

So I hear you, but on the flip side we _should_ be reading a lot about LLMs here, as they have a direct impact on the work that most of us do.

That said, seeing other papers pop up that are not related to transformer based networks is appreciated.

Thank you, brother. Besides not all that goes in HN is strictly LLM, really dunno why the scare.
