When I went to google SME, I also got "Small and Medium-sized Enterprise". When I asked ChatGPT "Someone used the following sentence 'The BS that ChatGPT generates is especially odious because it requires so much effort to detect if you're not a SME in whatever output it's giving.' What does SME stand for?" It told me: SME stands for "Subject Matter Expert". The irony...

This thread is weird. Are the comments made by bots unaware of each other? https://i.imgur.com/t6ilhR7.png https://i.imgur.com/t6ilhR7.png

  It is a question where people think they can get easy karma if they know the answer, and many people know the answer. That said, I also don't think even most people would know the answer. I further think it is a fair question as they provided the most common expansion and that's what you naively find on Google (so it isn't like the people who ask a question they could have already answered asking Google). The next problem is that the Hacker News user interface doesn't encourage people to not cause duplicate answers within a short window: you load the full thread and spend 10-15 minutes reading it. At the time you loaded the page there aren't all of these other replies, so you may as well leave the first one. You then click the reply button and start typing a reply--FWIW, for longer replies this step can matter even more than the previous one--and you are staring at the single now and are given just the empty box for your reply. When you are done you submit, and maybe you then notice it is a duplicate? You might not, based on where the page loads and how much you are paying attention. Even if you do, do you bother to delete it? I would, but I hate the duplication and also know how to delete my comments.

    I happened to catch the 4 (four! I've seen 2 dupes before but four in less than 2 minutes have never I seen afore), original comments all at once posted 0 and 1 minutes ago, and because I am in some @"mood" tonight, and for all the reasons you've said, found it to be rather funny a HN tragedy. I thought it would be harmless to slip in a 5th, capitalizing only the M to show the careful reader that I am clearly out of my mind. I promise I wasn't karma farming I only got 1 upvote. Alas, HN isn't outfitted with the latest in web push socket hot page reload sex, yet.

In this kind of forum, it doesn't bother me when terms (like SME) are not defined by the person using it in a comment (even when it might be relatively new and matches several possible definitions). I didn't immediately recognize it, so I Googled it and found what I was looking for (before noticing the other replies which defined it for me). What does bother me, is when someone writes a long paper and fails to identify what it means when it is first used. I will read along sometimes for several paragraphs hoping to get a definition (or at least a good clue) before finally having to break off to go Google the term on another tab. Common terms like CPU or SSD have been around long enough to be used as is, but newer ones like AGI, LLM, or RHLF need to be written out in long form (which the article did beautifully). Sometimes they also need a basic definition to go along with that.
