Cultural Propagation: Its ideological influence, subtle and pervasive. AI Programming: Not performing software design, resulting in a lot of rework.

Cultural Propagation

Initially, the project only supported English, Japanese, and Korean. Thinking it was just AI translation, we wondered if supporting more languages wouldn’t be a good idea. So, French, Russian, and Hindi were added. At this point, no problems were detected; when the program executed translations, formatting issues arose due to historical code problems, requiring re-translation of archived articles.

The initial design of the blog translation project was overly complex – first parsing Markdown format, then using placeholders to protect the content, and finally sending it to a large model for translation. This was entirely unnecessary; large models inherently possess the ability to recognize Markdown syntax and can directly process the original content while maintaining formatting during translation.

Our work shifted from debugging code to debugging the prompting of the model. Model: google/gemma-3-4b Hardware: Nvidia 3060 12GB Indeed, we chose a non-thinking model – thinking models were inefficient when executing translation tasks. We compared the performance of 4b and 12b parameters, and for translation purposes, gemma3’s 4b parameter was sufficient; there was no significant advantage in terms of 12b parameters. 12b parameter speed: 11.32 tok/sec , 4b parameter speed: 75.21 tok/sec.

Spent four hours on this, and when I saw the sentence, it was hilarious. How could it have taken so long? Finally looked at the time: three hours.

This was the first draft of the year 2022, and it wasn’t complicated – exactly as the title said. (At that time, I was still quite young), I thought simply copying 作业 would be enough, putting it in my favorites folder, and letting it sit for over a month before finally remembering the task.

Due to slow access to GitHub Pages from within the country, the author applied for a personal domain and purchased CDN acceleration services from a domestic cloud host provider. During the configuration process, the author encountered an issue where the www subdomain could not be accessed, which was ultimately resolved by deleting the generic domain DNS record and setting up a second-level domain separately. The author also shared the principles and configuration experience of CDN acceleration, as well as their attempts and lessons learned using reverse proxy with Nginx.

This article introduces the basic concepts of Markdown and its applications in various software, recommends using VSCode as an IDE, and lists recommended plugins. The author shares their experience switching from Hexo to Hugo, emphasizing Hugo’s flexibility and customization capabilities. Finally, it provides some suggestions for quickly getting started with new technologies and shares a trick for resolving the issue of Hugo theme styles not updating.

Use GitHub Actions to automatically deploy your Hugo blog to GitHub Pages and Gitee.

Background Introduction

Yesterday while updating the blog, I discovered that the travis service was unavailable. Upon checking the travis webpage, I noticed the progress was stuck during source code retrieval, and a flash of insight occurred – I thought about GitHub’s previously launched action service.

Due to being busy at the time and also needing to apply for access to use action, it has now officially gone live. With some free weekend time, I decided to try out a new toy?
