Thank you for this due diligence, I was just reading through the technical report and couldn’t find any references to the software stack or hardware mentioning Huawei either and came back here wondering about this comment that I had read earlier.
What a find! It's on page 106 but I didn't immediately do a control-f to find it or look at the table of contents. My gosh, all the stuff I flipped through before that... some things haven't changed (e.g. Digikey and National Instruments ads).
HN has a large enough MAGA contingent that believes by not talking about it the world will hold off a little longer from bringing down their idol. What happened to Orban could and should happen to Trump. But America is only in year 6 of seeing someone wreck their country, Orban was in year 16. So presumably they still have a bit further to go down before they kick out their Russian stooges.
Mods have the power to unflag these but don't, usually because they don't see these threads (though, if they really wanted to they could view the 'active' page). It's interesting to see what you can and can not talk about on HN, local US politics (esp. California) is fine, global possibly world changing things are not.

No. You're projecting. You're one of those types that sees politics in everything--that wants politics in everything. Some of us, me included, flag political stories not because of our beliefs but because we'd rather HN not become Reddit, or the countless other spaces that have been perniciously and intentionally invaded by "always politics, all the time" people.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Pretty sure I didn’t want to post that here. But then I got rate limited and upon coming out of rate limit jail blindly pasted this comment where my page reloaded - my bad should have been here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47193047
Great. Do you have any details on how you produced this? The "reproducible code" isn't really reproducible. The "hierarchical topic model" that you mentioned - which model was used?
The code provided is to reproduce the analytical results from the annotated data; my impression is that you're more interested in the details of the annotation process than running into an issue with that code?
My company's core technology extends topic models to enable arbitrary hierarchical graphs, with additional branches beyond the topic and word branch. We expose those annotations in a SQL interface. It's an alternative/complementary approach to embeddings/LLMs for working with text data. In this case, the hierarchy broke submissions down into paragraphs added a layer to pool them into submissions, and added one more layer to pool them by year (on the topic branch).
Our word branch is a bit more complicated, but we have some extended documentation on our website if you are interested in digging a bit deeper. Always happy to chat more about the technical details of our topic models if you have any questions!
And what paradigm is that which you decided to leave out ?
