I wouldn't even think that CLAUDE.md would make it into source control, let alone into the product. I don't AI-code for a living, so I don't know what is considered best practices, but I would think that CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, REQUIREMETNS.md, MY_PLAN.md, THIS_STUFF.md, THAT_THING.md, all the instruction/feeder files that drive the AI should not go into source control. Only the actual code that gets compiled. I look a…

Agent instruction files are code, though. And none of this is really workstation-specific, it is codebase-specific. Should each developer keep a nearly identical copy of CLAUDE.md? The instructions really aren't for a developer, they are for an LLM agent. In most cases (I'd imagine, anyway) the agentic instruction files must be in source control for them to even provide much value.

Okay, but why is the Siri team sitting out transformers. I really wanna move past the „Dragon Naturally Speaking“ experience with a bolted on decision tree.

Who’s doing it better? I have yet to hear from a Google or Amazon user who has a transformatively better experience, and I think that’s why they haven’t jumped so far because they have hundreds of millions of users who have daily habits that they don’t want to lightly disturb.

Google user here. My experience with the new assistant is worse. The old one could pretty reliably set timers. The new one could not.

Nah. That’s not how it looks once you start working with it. Its code-equivalent for sure. You probably would not keep your plan files or the working chats though.

No.

I'm in USA, on a Pixel Android.

Hah I missed the part you said Google. You figure a thread about Siri was talking iOS. Of course the configuration path is the same in android as ios!

The context switched mid-thread- the reply was to somebody saying they hadn't heard from either Apple or Google phone users.

If your coworker needs to make a change, those md files can capture a lot of elements of design intent and known gotchas that are otherwise latent or implicit. That’s kind of what comments are for, to say nothing of blindingly obvious design, but …if everyone else using the same tool, sharing a tool native file makes sense in the same way that checking an IDE workspace file can.

Apple seems to purposefully have decided to sit out the arms race. Probably smart time to rent and not buy if they plan on buying in a downturn.

Not participating in the war is the only true way to win the war, nothing new. And in this particular war, it's even worse, the "winner" will actually just be the "biggest loser", contrarily to a traditional war.

>Not participating in the war is the only true way to win the war, nothing new.

Really not true both in real wars and in tech wars. There's no evidence to support this claim.

Android only exists as the dominant mobile platform because it went to full scale war with Apple when the iPhone launched. Those that didn't take part and came after the battle have like Apple doesn't take part in the AI race because whichever AI wins the war in the end, they'll have to be on their Appstore to reach the users, so Apple wins regardless due to their Appstore monopoly. AIs are no threat to their phone, laptops and Appstore business.

But Google can't afford not to take part in this race because AIs are a threat to their search and ads business.

Same with real wars, US is the world superpower because it got involved in WW2 even though it didn't have to be. Same with Russia and Ukraine, provided they don't wipe each other out scorched earth, their militaries will be the most advanced on the planet on modern drone warfare they invented after the war is over, and every other military on the planet will be paying them for their gear and expertise, which they already are.

Unrelated: Yuck. a lot of those replies have LLM smells. Do people love being a hollow puppet for LLMs to fill in? Have people lost their identity?

Yuck indeed. I do find it offensive when someone uses AI in a conversational manner. It's one thing to use it to chuck up content on social media to attract eyeballs, but this is a forum intended for conversation.

No . Both are offensive denial of service attacks on people's limited attention.
