Is finding the right stocks to invest in an LLM problem? Language models aren't the right fit, I would presume. It would also be insightful to compare this with traditional ML models.

> Regardless of which model you're using, you may notice that Claude frequently ignores your CLAUDE.md file's contents.

This is a news for me. And at the same time it isn’t. Without the knowledge of how the models actually work, most of the prompting is guesstimate at best. You have no control over models via prompts.

It's really frustrating to see every innovation eventually crammed into advertisements. The brightest minds spend most of their energy figuring out effective ways of serving ads.

I was always afraid to switch from Gmail, knowing the impact it would have. But I switched to Fastmail this year and my experience has been comparatively frictionless. My fear was unfounded.

With so many settings spread across multiple sections, especially in Workspace accounts, it's challenging to keep track of how existing settings are affected by each new addition. I generally review these regularly, yet find surprises now and then.

Knowing what setting does what in Gmail is becoming difficult by the day.

The way I understand this, when the agent runs `bd onboard` at startup, it gets the instructions from beads, which might refer to data files in the beads directory. Keeping them in sync via a separate branch would be an unnecessary overhead. Right?

The way I read it is beads steers agents to make use of the .beads/ folder to stay in sync across machines. So, my understanding is a dedicated branch for beads data will break the system.
