[Other] Performance and Telemetry Analysis of Trae IDE, ByteDance's VSCode Fork Hi HN, I was evaluating IDEs for a personal project and decided to test Trae, ByteDance&#x27;s fork of VSCode. I immediately noticed some significant performance and privacy issues that I felt were worth sharing. I&#x27;ve written up a full analysis with screenshots, network logs, and data payloads in the linked post.<p>Here are the key findings:<p>1. Extreme Resource Consumption: Out of the box, Trae used 6.3x more RAM (~5.7 GB) and spawned 3.7x more processes (33 total) than a standard VSCode setup with the same project open. The team has since made improvements, but it&#x27;s still significantly heavier.<p>2. Telemetry Opt-Out Doesn&#x27;t Work (It Makes It Worse): I found Trae was constantly sending data to ByteDance servers (byteoversea.com). I went into the settings and disabled all telemetry. To my surprise, this didn&#x27;t stop the traffic. In fact, it increased the frequency of batch data collection. The telemetry &quot;off&quot; switch appears to be purely cosmetic.<p>3. What&#x27;s Being Sent: Even with telemetry &quot;disabled,&quot; Trae sends detailed payloads including: Hardware specs (CPU, memory, etc.) Persistent user, device, and machine IDs OS version, app language, user name Granular usage data like time-on-ide, window focus state, and active file types.<p>4. Community Censorship: When I tried to discuss these findings on their official Discord, my posts were deleted and my account was muted for 7 days. It seems words like &quot;track&quot; trigger an automated gag rule, which prevents any real discussion about privacy.<p>I believe developers should be aware of this behavior. The combination of resource drain, non-functional privacy settings, and censorship of technical feedback is a major red flag. The full, detailed analysis with all the evidence (process lists, Fiddler captures, JSON payloads, and screenshots of the Discord moderation) is available at the link. Happy to answer any questions.

[Other] Show HN: Convert from MIDI file to ASCII tablature (and more) Hi folks,<p>About seven months ago, via HN, I got nerdsniped into a silly guitar transcription problem and made a bunch of really senseless code but what came out of it was what I thought at the time could potentially be pretty useful - a guitar fretboard mapper and fingering scoring algorithm.<p>So as of yesterday morning I&#x27;ve finally put those bits of code to &quot;good&quot; use, creating gtrsnipe to convert between MIDI files (.mid) and ASCII tab (as well as VexTab and ABC notation) and any combination&#x2F;direction among the set of formats.<p>gtrsnipe tries to intelligently find the best neck and fingering positions using a note to fretboard mapper and a scoring algorithm that is unavoidably shaped by my subjective opinions and skills as a player but it does its best to avoid objectively impossible fingerings.<p>See the example tabs and usage in the README and please, try your own transcriptions from MIDI and if you love or hate the arrangement it gives you, I&#x27;d love to hear about it so I can further refine the scoring algorithm.<p>Thanks!

[Other] Show HN: I made a web app for structured podcast summaries Hey HN,<p>I follow a lot of podcasts and the episodes are often 2-3 hours long, so I made a web app that gives me a structured podcast summary with applicable habits and recommendations.<p>My goal isn’t to discourage you from listening to the podcast, but rather to help you decide whether the episode is worthwhile and to provide notes.<p>The endgame is to give you a personal feed of podcasts that you follow, maybe even deliver it to your inbox or via RSS.<p>My tech stack is quite simple - React Router(v7), node.js and PostgreSQL with Redis. I&#x27;m using OpenAI API to generate the summary from the episode transcript.
