TL;DR https://claudemd.dev is where you can find guidelines to make your vibe coding more effective

If you haven't used claude code, I highly recommend you check it out. You may have used other AI tools in development, but being a cli with a refined "plan" step has revolutionized my development workflow. The fact that I can dispatch three prompts to run concurrently, and reliably trust the actions being taken feels incredible. I am spending less time thinking about code and more about the higher level direction of the code.

If you want claude code to be more reliable in its output, it can further be directed by using CLAUDE.md files. These files are included in the plan step and significantly improve the quality of its output. What makes a useful CLAUDE.md is similar to a well written style guide [1]. By providing a set of guidelines for what patterns to follow, the LLM can be more focused when building its plan. In a sense, a CLAUDE.md can be thought of as a "language semantics" for your codebase or directory for how to "compile" your thoughts into actions. Fortunately, you don't need to write your semantics in BNF [2], but the completeness of your semantics matter nonetheless. Without forethought, an LLM will happily come up with its own plan for your codebase.

I thought of and published https://claudemd.dev last night with the idea that sharing these files will improve the quality of code that we will be writing for this next abstraction of software development.

If you want to learn more about these files, I recommend reading this https://claudelog.com/mechanics/claude-md-supremacy.

The actual article from the researchers discusses their choices:

> The boat was paddled by a mixed team consisting of four men (paddlers) and one woman (steerer), without replacement by other paddlers on the way. The inclusion of both men and women is essential because our focus is ancient migration, not men’s adventure. An unstable, round-bottomed dugout required skilled paddlers to control it on the open sea. Furthermore, because this type of boat does not travel in a straight direction but instead snakes its way, the skill of the steerer is crucial for optimizing its performance. Considering these factors, we invited professional and semi-professional sea kayakers as the paddlers and steerer.

And ... this wasn't a race? Perhaps 5 women could have gotten there faster, but speed wasn't the primary goal.

I don't know anything about paddle sports specifically, but I have seen a discussion about sex differences in performance in other endurance sports, and one important distinction is that women as a group can have average pace times that are faster than men as a group, even when most of the outright winners are men.

Much of this writing is about finding the right level of detail to communicate the core ideas.

“Octelium is a full-featured access control platform, which provides API gateways and/or VPN tunnels to your HTTP services, paired with an intuitive user, policy, and auditing backplane and policy-as-code.”

Something like the above would be much more enticing to potential users including myself. I can get a rough idea of what I can actually use it for and how it can be integrated into my existing stack—and if there are more features I’ll be pleasantly surprised when I read the docs!

Plenty of intelligent people entertain this possibility, as well as many other possibilities, around how our world works.

If they then become obsessed with the idea being a fact and refuse to even consider updating their mental model when presented with evidence contradicting it then they have developed a fixed belief.

When that fixed belief is not common among their culture, it becomes a bizarre fixed belief.

When, as a result of their obsession with those bizarre fixed beliefs, they are unable to function (hygiene, nutrition, finances, care of their dependents, etc.) - then there’s a problem.

Or do you think a mind is a perfect thing that can never be ill?

The use of the term "corrupt" rather than "alter" or "affect" is assuming the conclusion here. The human mind is not something that always works in the same Platonic perfection in a state of nature. Biological and cultural differences are major factors in what is considered normal at any given place and time.

Some people have conditions that make the way their brains work different than what is considered normal. Western technological culture imposes differences in social interaction and pressures on thinking and required performance that are far different than existed in societies even mere hundreds of years before.

Drugs can be a way to compensate for these pressures and find a way to exist in the world with as much equanimity as possible. And I say all this as a person who avoids all caffeine and illegal drugs, and uses alcohol very infrequently. I'm lucky I can do this and thrive in today's Western culture. Not everyone is as fortunate.

> Oh, here it is: https://oeis.org/A035313

That sequence is not known to match what you asked for:

>> Conjecturally, every positive integer occurs in the sequence or one of its n-th differences, which would imply that the sequence and its n-th differences partition the positive integers.

For an intuition of why this might be hard to prove, note that you had to insert 7 into your structure before you inserted 5. In the general case, there might be a long waiting period before you're able to place some particular integer n. It might be infinitely long.

Nobody has complete control over anything but the true story is that Israel withdrew in good faith wanting to give Palestinians a chance to build their own lives. Israel did exactly what all the good people here want it to do so badly. Stop the "occupation". Since the outcome of that doesn't fit the narrative (10's of thousands of rockets on Israel, suicide bombing attacks, Hamas taking over, leading to Oct 7th) then we need to do some mental gymnastics to somehow claim that despite Israel no longer occupying Gaza it somehow still was.

The "tightening of the screws" is a result of Palestinians deciding to wage war against Israel, build rockets, fire them into civilian populations.

It's really pretty simple. Palestinians want to destroy Israel. They have and had no interest having a "Singapore" in Gaza.

I'm not sure how you get to the 90's. We are talking about the disengagement in 2005.

I lived in Israel during this time and I know very well what the mood was. I've also seen interviews with people who were in the loop who say Ariel Sharon (who architected the withdrawal) sincerely wanted to see Palestinians succeed and use this as a blue print to also end the conflict in the west bank. International donors even bought equipment from Israel (like greenhouses) so they can leave it for the Palestinians who promptly proceeded to destroy them.

What would you like to see?

At this point, people are even modeling figures on Ancient Greek pottery to determine the biomechanical merit of their fighting stances: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4663/12/12/317

The same or similar techniques, of course, can apply to any combination of fighters (or dancers, or swimmers, etc.) at any particular moment. At the highest levels of sport, biomechanics analysts are employed, e.g.: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34402417/

In any case, I don't think that I made any extraordinary claims. There are a lot of unknowns, though, as the most valuable analyses tend to be extremely computationally demanding.
by evanjrowley | 2025-06-29 17:44:59+00:00
There could be a lot more to this story behind the scenes. The article contains this at the following quote.

>Last year, Mr Kavanagh became embroiled in a row with a group of Chinese tourists who demanded he stop livestreaming at a public piano site at London St Pancras International station where he was playing.

>The tourists confronted the musician, asking whether their faces were visible before insisting he stop filming.

I remember seeing this altercation from Kavanaugh's livestream (there are many videos about it)[0]. Mr. Kavanaugh was in the right in that situation and the Chinese "tourists" clearly tried to twist the facts of the situation to gain advantage over Kavanaugh. The police confronted Kavanaugh when he was obviously the victim. Did the author of this article, Steve Bird, care to watch the videos?

There is a real possibility the police reaction here was exacerbated due the the events of that situation, possibly even due to some international/political motive.

That's fair feedback! I struggled to tamp down on a snarkier response that read more like: "I am a direct beneficiary of one side of this debate. If we are to be intellectually honest then we need to be sure to cast as much skepticism as we can muster onto the other side."

Agreed though, earnestness is one of our most urgent shortages.

It seems pretty straightforward to me.

Wealth redistribution has this positive effect: If you take $1000 from a billionaire and give it to a very poor person, total happiness increases.

It also has a negative effect, high level of redistribution can inhibit production.

The optimal level of redistribution depends on what you're optimizing, it's usually a mix of societal happiness and some notion of fairness. (I personally would want to optimize happiness and prosperity.)

It was forced onto your device to the extent that any other of your library songs or iTunes purchases were, whether that worked out to be streamed on demand or downloaded locally. Space was never the issue, forcing bad music in my shuffle play was.

I remember distinctly, because after trying patiently for months then years to get rid of it through official channels, I rage-quit iTunes when that whiny man’s voice started playing again the moment I connected my phone in a rental car. I still won’t touch Apple Music to this day.

For that matter, it still comes back from time to time all these years later:

Apparently, since they have taken down their dedicated removal tool from 11 years ago [0], your remaining recourse is to contact Apple Support and persist through upsell attempts to paid support.

This degree of vertical integration is missing from any of the AI examples you mentioned.

The example you provided, the QR code generator, presents none of those qualities.

You used multiple AIs from different vendors (according to you: Sonnet and Gemini), a middleman (Aider), to produce a product that is not vertically integrated (uses qrious).

Meanwhile, qemu depends only on a tight set of dependencies (gcc, glib2, everything else optional). They are actually a good case of vertical integration.

In my opinion, you got it all reversed.

--

Starship is a terrible example. After failing to produce composite materials in house using an automated process, they hired specialized metal workers to do the body in steel, by hand. Again, it favors my line of reasoning that commoditization has many limitations.

--

You are also drifting away from the subject drastically, again. I have to constantly pull you in and remember you that we're talking about software first.

Not only you left the qemu subject, but now you forgotten that your own qr-generator _that you have chosen to showcase here_ has many of the failures you're now pointing at.

If you're only trying to leave with the last word, you're making it embarassing.

Your defense here is "Microsoft made this promise in front of a different group of people than the press with different financial motives than to get people to use windows so they shouldn't be bound by it"?

a) That's absurd, that's clearly still a reason they should be bound by it

b) That it wasn't in front of the the is clearly false given press widely reported on it, if it wasn't in front of the press they couldn't have reported on it.

c) That it wasn't intended to convince people to use windows is clearly false given Microsoft's simultaneous purely public facing marketing of windows as a thing that would be supported for the lifetime of the device... Microsoft's continued endorsement of the sentiment behind the quote, and Microsoft's decision to not disavow the quote when journalists no doubt asked about it.

I was watching the Phillies game the other day, like I usually do, except it was Friday, so Apple owns the rights to the game. It's not the usual announcers, but fine, I can watch it on Apple TV+.

I remember getting a commercial for Ed Sheeran's new song for Apple's new F1 Movie which I can listen to on Apple Music and just ask Siri to play it and wanting to throw the remote at the TV. Apple just really wants to watch baseball with me. I prefer my crappy local OTT ads.

> If she has triggers, that means she does not have a disease , it means she’s a different person that sensitive to different things

This is not the medical consensus. Schizophrenia, along with many other mental disorders, are well known to have a complex interplay with not only background genetic/chemical factors, but also the psychological conditions of the patient -- stressors like homelessness, drug use, and lack of sleep very much can trigger psychotic episodes. Suggesting otherwise is to suggest that a sick person not get care that they very well may need.

I think that just means that Go isn't completely memory safe.

Or, it means that "Go is only memory safe provided you have no data races".

My point is that it's weird to say that there is a notion of memory safety that is separate from the memory safety you get if you also have a story for data races. It leads to exactly the confusion in the OP: it's not clear if they're saying that memory safety subsumes data race freedom in the sense that you're memory-safe even in the presence of races (like Java or Fil-C), or that it means that memory safety subsumes data race freedom in the sense that Rust's type system handles both memory safety and data races using the same basic technique.

It was also very handy that you could arbitrarily assign names to folders and have them be treated across the system as a volume name. Got some non-copyprotected software that expects to run from the volume name of the floppy? Copy the contents of the disk into a folder, assign the volume name of the floppy to that folder, and it will most likely just work. If it's a self-booting disk you may also need to copy the contents of some system folders into your actual system folders (c, libs, devs, etc) but other than that, with regards to the filesystem, volume assigns were very powerful (and in OS 2.0 and up you could also chain these assigns across different folders)

> I guess OpenAI got a good deal at 6.5b for Jony Ive.

Did they? All I know of Ive's work at Apple is negative: too thin laptops that can't be repaired, uncomfortable keyboards, mice that cannot be used when charging, case designs that cause worse performance, abstract and unnecessarily changing UIs, and calculators that may miscalculate if tapping quickly.

There's a long human history of beliefs like that in spiritualism, animism, etc. People believed they could hear the voices of their dead ancestors, spirits, etc for example.

I wouldn't describe this as "raving", this is someone who has had very real personal experiences. To them, they happened just as much as the sun rises and sets. I don't know what I'm getting at other than have some patience and compassion for people who experience distressing things that they themselves cannot explain.

Thank you for your kind answer. To give more context, part of my reasoning is I actually bought my devices for their closed system + tight integration and I feel angry for having it being ripped from underneath me, while also having less features because of these laws (e.g. iPhone Mirroring which is not available in Europe).

Basically: “I know what I buy, why should I pay for those who do not even try to get informed?”

What exactly are the "engineering benefits" beyond a larger address space? Most companies rely on private address spaces to logically separate them, and will ultimately end up using NAT66, ending up exactly where they started, but with significantly more complexity.

Every time this comes up, people come out of the woodwork to say, "Well, akually we talked about this exact thing in 1995 and decided this was the right way!" Yet, it's never convincing.

If it were a simple address expansion, we would have completed this upgrade around 1998. Yet here we are, 30 years later!

Apple was fairly flat under Steve and meetings could have a fair number of interested parties involved. I can recall numerous weekly UI meetings with several of the people listed above there. Also note that Jony, Eddy and others weren’t always high level. Steve handed out his harsh comments regardless of concern for your level. Steve was a micromanager and was involved in anything that the user came in contact with and more.

To directly address your question, the answer was yes in that if you developed a feature, a demo, or anything Steve wanted to see, you would end up in a forum with a bunch a various levels of employees.

Thinking of C suite meetings happening when Steve was around cracks me up. Steve was always on the move, making edicts, rejecting things, walking into offices, having lunch with people, etc. There was no Jira, Confluence, Agile or any of that. It was a fight to ship by an imposed date or die trying.

> Seems like a bad way to pick technology.

This is a very sensible way to pick a technology for a government.

Having a cool proof of concept, with a bus factor of 1, and having a solution that countless government agencies can depend on for multi-million-dollar decades-long software projects are very different things.

They can't just depend out of the blue on you personally maintaining "Fil's Unbelievable Garbage Collector" for the lifetime of the government's projects. Maybe you believe they could, but it takes way more legwork to give such assurance to a government.

They list TRACTOR under projects they've already funded (and crucially, not among solutions they recommend yet). Apply for funding for Fil-C, and if it gets accepted, it'll probably get listed there too.

The TRACTOR approach also has higher tolerance to being an experimental project, because it's one-time conversion of C to Rust. It only needs to work once, not continuously for decades. The Rust-lang org is set up to offer serious long-term support, and is way past having a critical dependency on a single developer.

This is a shot in the dark, but there is a lot of excitement right now about treating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as a metabolic issue. Some people are seeing complete remission, without medication. This isn’t a quick easy recommendation to just go off meds and go keto, but for some people that apparently has worked. Chris Palmer M.D.[0] is one of the main people driving it.

The H1 visa was created in 1952, and H1B was created in 1990. To this day, H1 visas are, in the actual statute, for temporary workers under 8 USC 1101: “H) an alien (i) [(a) Repealed. Pub. L. 106–95, § 2(c), Nov. 12, 1999, 113 Stat. 1316] (b) subject to section 1182(j)(2) of this title, who is coming temporarily to the United States to perform services…”

The INA has a provision that requires all temporary workers to have non-immigration intent. Moreover, it requires UCIS to presume immigrant intent if someone files an application for permanent residency, which would make the H1B deportable. The state department created “dual intent” decades ago as a legal fiction to allow H1 immigrants to skirt this provision of the law.

Congress accommodated that somewhat in 1990 and in 2000 (with AC21). But it’s all a hack on top of a kludge. The statue now exempts UCIS from being required to presume non-immigrant intent if someone files a permanent residency application. And AC21 allows extensions while a green card application is pending.

But nothing stops the administration from deciding a green card application constitutes immigration intent, or denying an extension. Congress has never changed the wording of the law—on paper it’s still a temporary worker program. A future administration could start treating it as such at any time.

SpaceX's launch cadence is great for expanding their in-house constellation but basically irrelevant to companies purchasing rideshare slots for in orbit demonstrations like the Exploration Company. Take it from someone that's expecting to fly hardware on two of the next three Transporter missions (in late February and late June next year...). ArianeSpace could absolutely spin up an extra couple of missions on those timescales if their prices were the only option, and satellite integration timescales are a bigger issue for development than the timing of the next launch window. We wouldn't like Ariane 6 prices being added to our mission costs and at the margins some companies wouldn't afford it, but the Exploration Company has raised $230m and has already launched on an Ariane 6. The "Europeans have to use US capacity because they can't innovate har har" argument simply isn't at all relevant to IODs on Transporter missions (which ironically are full of US companies buying slots on European companies' deployment platforms as well as having plenty of critical non-US kit even in SpaceX's unusually vertically-integrated supply chain. Not because the US can't innovate har har but because the commercial space industry is globally distributed and price driven. Well, maybe not price driven if you're the military or Jeff Bezos building your LEO constellation on ArianeSpace launches whilst working on New Glenn...).

Don't think high cadence launches are even particularly high on the list of the US's military advantages in the event of global conflict extending into space: destruction of non-trivial amounts of orbital material would render its launch advantage moot until the Kessler syndrome problem was solved...

Well, I’m pretty entrenched in Apple’s ecosystem because I value the iCloud integration between my devices, but all my devices are a couple years old and I tend to keep them until they are no longer supported (M1 Air, iPhone 14, iPad Air M1, etc.). In particular, I don’t drive my iPhone hard. As long as it can do phone and texting and run a browser and the Kindle app, I’m good. Needless to say, I won’t be upgrading devices for liquid glass.
