I don't think the post you're replying to deserves what feels like an aggressive dressing-down. The reality is that post formatting on HN is really janky and it's hard to get it to do what you want. I don't blame someone for failing to master HN formatting on one of their first tries.

Promise to try better next time, its really first post ever i have made on here, sorry!

You're doing fine! In general the best trick for HN posts is just to add

extra

line breaks

so that there's enough space between your sentences.

Don’t worry at all. Thank you for the content, and thank you for your time.

Calling out leople who trust software from ByteDance, and not calling out people who trust software by Microsoft (i.e. VSCode) is a bit hypocritic. Both are faceless corps that produce unethical software.

Don't forget that the remote editing feature in VSCode has you install non-free binaries on the remote machines. It's not like netdir where it just wraps openssh.

I'm always surprised when corporate IT departments allow that given what's not allowed these days.

Microsoft was not the subject of the post.

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.

I think it's good form to mention it as a little disclaimer, just so people don't take it the wrong day. Just write (this post was originally written by me but formatted and corrected with LLM since English is not my primary language). From what I've seen, people generally do not like reading a generated content, but every time I've seen the author come back and say "I used it because it isn't my main language" the c…

That was already added before this reply.

> 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?

It is relevant because it wastes time and adds nothing of substance. An AI can only output as much information as was inputted into it. Using it to write a text then just makes it unnecessarily more verbose. The last few sections could have been cut entirely and nothing would have been lost. Edit: In the process of writing this comment, the author removed 2 sections (and added an LLM acknowledgement), of which I refe…

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)

Because it helps me decide if I should skim through or actually read it
