Sorry but what the heck is up with all the ellipses in this comment?
It's a sort of stream of consciousness. That style of writing goes in and out of style from time to time but some people use it consistently.
They have an emacs package that triples their . automatically!

They're trying really hard to make sure you know they didn't write their post with an LLM? /s
Because LLMs would use unicode Horizontal Ellipsis…
honestly i think that'll be a thing in the future

Nah, models can be fine tuned and trained on anything. Common consumer products like ChatGPT and Gemini have particular styles, very polite and helpful, but there are models trained to be combatative, models trained to write in the style of shakespeare, all sorts of things. Someone could train a model to reply to posts in the style of HN comments and you’d probably never know.
