But this was a technical presentation at a conference dedicated to the technology in question. A person stumbling across this on HN does not magically make them part of the target audience.
- OkayPhysicist 1y agoA technical presentation is a still a presentation, as opposed to a reference document. If you want to give someone a block of technical information, you do so in a reference document. You talk in front of a room full of people in order to convince them that this matters enough to bother.
