I am familiar, yet used this comment to confirm my initial assumption.

Abbreviations carry unnecessary cost on the side of the readers. There is always the chance that there is another shorthand for something else that is important and so there is a need to double check interpretations.

So thanks for the comment and no, a 101 wouldn't even help with this problem.

They do, but the parent's question wasn't about the abbrebation (for which I'd cut them some slack) but extended to:

"Is that supposed to help? WTF is a HuggingFace?".

Wasn't addressed to you though (don't even see any other comment of you in this subthread), but to @markdown, whose issue wasn't with the abbreviation alone.
