Claude is a very, very “good student”

Never let Claude run wild on the privacy policy or legal pages on your website. Opus 5.5, and other Claude models in general, are so knee deep into moral policing it can genuinely land you in hot water. > it will get way too specific about how your work happens internally > it will add promises and guarantees you didn’t want enforced > it went as far as adding my name in the policy page > it listed out all the third party tools that we have integrated too, basically showing our entire stack It is built to write from the customer side by default, it said so when I pressed it. Just be careful.

If you have a high-yield savings account, you are underweight Treasuries.

No other major US brokers currently offer clients a fixed $0.18 rebate per equity options contract. Public is unique in sharing up to 50% of its options order-flow revenue this way (tiers from $0.06–$0.18 based on volume). Others like Robinhood and Webull have $0 fees but keep the full PFOF; most charge $0.50–$0.65 per contract with no client rebate. Exchange programs exist for high-volume or index products, but nothing matches this for retail equity options.

On Tuesday, we posted about Treasury yields being at multi-year highs. A few people asked what that actually looks like in dollars. So let's do the math. 🧵

Idk who needs to hear this but: when you invest in a company, you need to underwrite the company/stock’s risks for instance, those risks could include, idk, Congressional scrutiny or uncomfortable geographic exposure and when those risks become real and hurt the value of the company/stock, you accept it, because you underwrote the risk

Public just launched a 3% match for anyone transferring out of $BULL on the same day a House panel raised concerns about Webull’s China ties. Absolutely ruthless 🤣
