FWIW I immediately thought of the ML architecture, not the toy or electrical device. HN is very ML-heavy these days, and in that context 'transformers' has a familiar and obvious meaning.

One of our dogs acquired a CTVT tumour in the nasal tract, which is rarer. It resulted in a bloody discharge via one nostril which thankfully led to an early diagnosis (although it remains curable up to quite a late stage as the vet told us

I've tried the Harris app. Everyone can do better than 10-20 minute sessions with Harris rambling in the background, acting as a constant distraction by going on and on about free will and the nature of consciousness. IMO the HN crowd

Well, if you meant it in that straightforward sense, then it was not a swipe. But I've seen the same statement used in a derogatory manner in the sense of "get this done, it's not difficult [if you're not an idiot]"
