Doesn't using only custom Output styles work? I've been experimenting with different styles and stripped conversations rules in Claude.md and rules to a bare minimum and that seems to be doing the trick.
This seems like a different project to gource
I use Cursor with a max subscription through work and using Gemini in multi-model mode alongside Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2 Codex, Gemini's been the worst performer. Not saying it's a bad model just that the other 2 do a much better job at the level and complexity of large codebases. Just my experience.
Genuinely curious how you could tell

I _plan_ on doing this as well. What resources will you use (besides the Ableton tutorial)?

His repo is a gold mine
Edit: should be sci-hub (dot) se
Probably need a Springer account or something along those lines. I'd suggest using scihub (schi-hub (dot) se) to download the books using the links provided in the medium article.
Re:How can I get a job at Facebook or Google in 6 months? on Wednesday July 03, 2019 @02:49PM (#20347362)
I don't think anyone can give a definite yes or no response here. There are lots of factors that contribute to one's successful job interview which then translates to a job offer. I've read many blog posts and ex-Googlers say that practicing leetcode problems increases your probability of making it through the technical rounds. An applicant also needs to have well-rounded knowledge of general CS fundamentals. So I think the answer the OP is looking for is maybe: try to practice data structures, algorithms and get the fundamentals right specific to whatever job title they're applying to, and hope your interview goes well.

Ask HN: Is what Google doing truly unethical?

The past few years have seen a rise in chants against Google's practices and its violation of privacy. But the way I see it, no company dealing with large amounts of data ever wants to let go of any data they can capture. That's how systems learn. More data = more context (usually). I do agree that algorithms can be more efficient and steps should be taken to plug hacks and data leaks, but...

Re:Ask HN: How has meditation helped you? on Wednesday December 06, 2017 @05:44PM (#15865818)
"I find that with regular exercise, I am much less prone to depression and anger." Agreed. I think meditation touches upon a different aspect of our everyday lives: it makes us more self-aware and makes us want to think clearly in any given situation. And we learn to calm ourselves even in the most unnerving situations.
