The X post presents this as a direct quotation, but the Hacker News comment it is referring to says something else.

The original Hacker News text reads:

"I've been having a silent panic attack for the last 3 days, and I don't really have anyone to talk to that would understand my concern."

That is materially different from:

"For the past 3 days, I've been trapped in a silent panic attack, unable to find a single person who understands to confide in."

Because the X post uses quotation marks, readers are led to believe these are the author's exact words. They are not; it is a paraphrase presented as a quote.

This sentence overstates what happened.

In the Hacker News comment being summarized, the author did not say he newly reverse-engineered the full Ursa Major line from scratch in 20 minutes. He said Claude found prior reverse-engineering work on GitHub and reused it:

"While Claude was prepping It found someone else had already done the same thing 1 weeks earlier and dumped the result on GitHub, so it just stole that code and saved some time. It took all of 20 minutes to do the entire Ursa Major product range."

There is also independent evidence that Ursa Major reverse-engineering work existed years earlier. A public repository titled UrsaMajorStargate323 says the author acquired the hardware in 2019 and had been preserving and understanding it since then, and a 2021 mailing-list thread documents the same project, including EEPROM dumps, schematics, and "straight up reverse-engineering."

So the X post's wording is inaccurate: it frames the feat as if he personally reverse-engineered the whole Ursa Major line in 20 minutes, when the underlying comment says the Ursa Major portion depended on preexisting public reverse-engineering work.
