Note to everyone writing blog posts: Please start your post with one or two sentences explaining what you're posting about.

What is Duet? I have no idea even after skimming the article.

Edit: first google result is https://www.duetdisplay.com

Well the start the article saying they're not affiliated with Anthropic, and then talk about "Duet", saying "anthropic has done it again". They then list a handful of products they've tried, including "a host of other personal-assistant-type harnesses".

Is it not obvious that this is an Anthropic-made "personal-assistant-type harnesses"?

		I could deduct some of that from this sentence, sure. But I wrote this comment because the article was frustrating for me to read. One single sentence would've made it much less confusing: `Look, I really didn’t want to like Claude Duet, Anthropic's new personal AI assistant. I don’t want to be an Anthropic fanboy and ...` I'm also known to flag this kind of shortcoming in all technical documentation I review, and it annoys a lot of people that I do. I've put my judgement to the test already a few times in team meetings when someone objected this specific remark. Many times I could prove that there are always a few people in the room that would've benefited a lot from such a simple clarification. They just didn't speak up or ask, because they thought they were the only ones that didn't know a specific term. My intention is also not to be rude, just creating some awareness for this issue.

		I know. The full product's name seems to be "Claude Duet", which would make everything much clearer and easier to google it.

Meh, I think it's fine for blog posts to assume familiarity like this if it reflects their niche. They're writing for the type of person who already knows what Duet is. It's not the NYT where there's a massive general audience.

In fact, the choice not to explain things tells me a lot about the shared knowledge of a niche when I'm looking in from the outside. I don't mind the extra digging to decode it and the implied familiarity gives me information about its importance.
