Yea, the core was written by me, i just used llm to fix my broken english.
Don't pay any attention to people giving you shit for using translation software. A lot of us sometimes forget that the whole world knows a little English and most of us native speakers have a ridiculous luxury in getting away with being two lazy to learn a few other languages.
> using translation software
It's clear that this isn't what OP was doing. The LLM was writing, not merely translating. dang put it well:
I am a die hard VIM user. VIM is a text editor, not an IDE. You can I many D tools into it's E, but it remains a text editor with disparate tools.
What is there in an IDE today, that is missing from (n)vim? With the advent of DAP and LSP servers, I can't find anything that I would use a "proper" IDE for.
- debuggers
- popup context windows for docs (kind of there, but having to respect the default character grid makes them much less capable and usually they don't allow further interaction)
- contextual buttons on a line of code (sure, custom commands exist, but they're not discoverable)
I see a lot of confused comments blaming Microsoft, so to clarify: This analysis is about TRAE, a ByteDance IDE that was forked from VSCode: https://www.trae.ai/
Two thoughts: 1. Try using pi-hole to block those particular endpoints via making DNS resolution fail; see if it still works if it can’t access the telemetry endpoints. 2. Their ridiculous tracking, disregard of the user preference to not send telemetry, and behavior on the Discord when you mentioned tracking says everything you need to know about the company. You cannot change them. If you don’t want to be tracked,…
Why use pihole? Most OSes have a hosts file you can edit if you're just blocking one domain.
Hate to break it to you, but /etc/hosts only works for apps that use getaddrinfo or similar APIs. Anything that does its own DNS resolution, which coincidentally includes anything Chromium-based, is free to ignore your hosts file.
> might be good to mention that for transparency, because people can tell anyway and it might feel slightly otherwise Devil's advocate: why does it matter (apart from "it feels wrong")? As long as the conclusions are sound, why is it relevant whether AI helped with the writing of the report?
AI-generated content is rarely published with the intention of being informative. * Something being apparently AI-generated is a strong heuristic that something isn't worth reading. We've been reading highly-informative articles with "bad English" for decades. It's okay and good to write in English without perfect mastery of the language. I'd rather read the source, rather than the output of a txt2txt model. * edit -…
True, but there are many more people that speak no English, or so badly that an article would be hard to understand.
I face this problem now with the classes I teach. It's an electronics lab for physics majors. They have to write reports about the experiments they are doing. For a large fraction, this task is extraordinary hard not because of the physics, but because of writing in English. So for those, LLMs can be a gift from heaven. On the other hand, how do I make sure that the text is not fully LLM generated? If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.
Is it just me or does the formatting of this feel like ChatGPT (numbered lists, "Key Takeaways", and just the general phrasing of things)? It's not necessarily an issue if you checked over it properly but if you did use it then it might be good to mention that for transparency, because people can tell anyway and it might feel slightly otherwise (or maybe you just have a similar writing style)
who care? its like using a spell checker. why does it matter?

The hosts file doesn't let you properly block domains. It only lets you resolve them to something else. It's the wrong tool for the job.
