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…

How will you understand the garbage out without keeping track of the garbage in?

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.

I don't think that's part of their decision making, Liquid Glass moved most things around for seemingly not much else than novelty and that's not the first time.

Yea, if anything, it's Apple's normal mode to heavily disturb and move things around.

Right now Alexa+ and Gemini are objectively better. The best is ChatGPT voice mode. It understands non English words and accents amazingly well, and even though the LLM model isn’t the full fledged one, I can have deep conversations with it for an hour without it missing a beat.

I agree, ChatGPT voice mode is pretty impressive. Almost similar to Samantha in 'Her', laughably.

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.

As a Google user in a household of iPhones, my opinion is Gemini on android is radically better than Siri.

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.

Gee thanks for pointing that out!

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

I like that I can ask more nuanced questions without getting dumped to a web search, and I can have a back-and-forth conversation.

But timers and smart home actions are definitely less reliable and sometimes take absurdly long to respond (like 20-30 seconds p99).

to be honest, for some reason I expected most of apple to eschew claude/ai coding. I'm not sure why. It just doesn't feel very Apple-like

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.

They did create a chatbot version of Siri small enough to run locally, but decided that hallucinations were a big enough issue to push the release.

Because the competitor voice models sound good but are dumb upon any scrutiny

ChatGPT’s voice model has a great user experience and seems like it is seamlessly integrated into the chat, but its actually a far smaller and dumber model. @husk.irl on instagram has videos displaying how dumb and undiscerning it is

People were wowed by the magic at one point, but its faded. Apple avoids those things and the limitations havent been solved
