dangon Surprisingly complex waves reveal the brain's inner workings

Could you please stop posting low-quality comments, such as snark, flamebait, and provocation? Your account has unfortunately been doing a ton of this lately. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

dangon Show HN: Strata – an expressive semantic layer that can say no to your LLM

Ah, good catch. The submitted URL was https://strata.do/try/ but since that's linked from the text, I've replaced it with the actual landing page (https://strata.do/). Thanks!

dangon Show HN: Strata – an expressive semantic layer that can say no to your LLM

Can you please edit out swipes, especially when discussing someone's work? You broke both HN's rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and the Show HN rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html), and your comment would be fine without that bit.

You could make an even more helpful comment by explaining what would make the landing page better, but at a minimum, please avoid pejoratives and putdowns.
