Recently I ran into a problem with my Bluetooth headphones. They support multipoint bluetooth audio, so they can be connected to my PC and phone at the same time. Opening the Aliexpress webpage causes a silent audio stream keeping the PC>headphone link active blocking my phone audio. An investigation reveals obfuscated code running device fingerprinting with a side effect being a silent audio stream that firefox, chrome and windows does not recognise but which kept the bluetooth connection active.
Is this an AI summary of the article?
No, I took the first sentence of my article and then edited the rest of the intro + conclusion to keep it short for HN.
You should make that obvious in some way like using “TLDR”. I assume many people, like me, would attempt to parse your comment as a comment on the article, after all it’s in the comment section, and read that way it’s very confusing lol.
Sorry, this is my first post to HN and in the submission it looked like the description text i added would be part of the post header.
Don’t apologize. This was a very fascinating read, and a good technical write up, especially for you first even HN post. It’s not your fault others didn’t look at the username :)
Thanks for the feedback :D
I was just about to highlight this particular HN quirk. I suppose a lot of people here only ever comment (or submit URLs without any text of their own) and aren't familiar with it.
HN's fault entirely. The post form's actioning "text" as a comment is remiss.
They shouldn’t have to make it “obvious”. They are the actual author of the article. It’s not their fault you didn’t double check the usernames. It’s not uncommon for authors to comment on their own articles.
No you are talking to the actual author of the article. It’s not weird for the author to comment on their own article
