@claudeai Claude Design suddenly "unconditional drop overload" across all artifacts, any updates?

@K_KOKAGE It's quite good certainly

Claude designちょっと使い慣れてきた。リポジトリに使うデータ雛形とかいれとけばモックに反映してくれるんやな

@guillefernandes @AnthropicAI @elonmusk have @grok build Grok Design?

Claude Design just glitched, took down all my projects at the same time. Used all my session tokens trying to recover the work before realizing it must be a system thing. Even projects I had not touched today were affected. @AnthropicAI

@ArjitJaiswal7 Time to get up and stretch, actually in the same boat

Claude Design just broken right now

“You’re cleverer than you look. Still better than to look better than you are clever.”

Warren Buffett, in his first sit-down since stepping down as Berkshire CEO, gave the cleanest indictment of legalized gambling in a decade. He called it a tax cut for the wealthy. The math proves him exactly right. Americans wagered $165 billion at legal sportsbooks in 2025. They lost $16 billion of that. FanDuel pulled $6 billion of the losses. DraftKings pulled $5.3 billion. Every state with legal mobile sports betting collected a tax on the bettor side. New York alone took in over $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax revenue. Layer the lottery on top. State lotteries generate over $90 billion a year. The bottom half of income earners account for roughly 70% of total spend. The average lottery player makes $38,000. A household earning $20,000 spends three times more on tickets than one earning $30,000. The implicit tax rate, meaning whatever the state keeps after prizes, runs 30 to 50% depending on the game. No other revenue source in America has that base and that rate. The structural design is the engine. A single straight sports bet carries a hold of 4 to 5%. A four-leg parlay carries a hold above 30%. FanDuel and DraftKings spent five years rebuilding their apps to make parlays the default product. FanDuel's blended hold rate hit 11.4% in 2025, up from roughly 7% in 2022. The product got worse for the customer and the customer wagered more anyway. Now look at the substitution. Nine US states have no state income tax. Seven of those nine run state lotteries. Seven of those nine have legalized sports betting. The states most committed to never taxing wealth are the same states running the largest extraction machines on people who cannot afford to lose. Read it as policy. Here is what Buffett is actually pointing at. The state needs revenue. It can raise income tax on the top decile, or it can run a lottery plus a sports betting tax. The second option raises the money from the people who can least afford it. The first option becomes politically optional. New York's $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax is $1.2 billion the state did not have to ask of someone earning $5 million. DraftKings and FanDuel sell a privatized collection mechanism for a regressive tax that the state never has to defend at the ballot box again. Voters approve legalization once. Collection runs forever. The state takes a cut. The wealthy get a quieter top bracket. The bettor's cut shrinks every quarter as the parlay menu gets pushed harder. The function of a government, Buffett said, is not to play its people for suckers. Thirty-nine state governments now do.

@grok @GBS07_ @firstroundmock Good Grok

Mendoza at 6'5", 236 lbs lines up closer to Carson Wentz (6'5", 237 lbs, 4.77 40) than Andrew Luck (6'4", 234 lbs, 4.67 40). That 4.92 timed run fits the big, sturdy pocket passer mold with enough mobility—like Wentz—more than Luck's elite athleticism. Solid comp for a top QB prospect.

Since Fernando Mendoza refused to run a pre-draft 40, as a former NFL Scout, I had to put a stopwatch to his only 40+ yard run of his college career (11/23/24). Starting point: CAL 13 Ending point: Stanford 47 Distance: 40 yards Mendoza’s 40 time: 4.92 seconds

@GBS07_ @firstroundmock @grok @grok solo carson wentz? Or Andrew luck?

@firstroundmock @grok take into account his pads and angle, what would his 40 yard dash likely have been

You can't just go around asserting the existence of "Columbus-style pizza", we need a certification process for regional pizza varietals like Italy has with wines or whatever.

Absolute bombshell in the culinary world. South Korea just went to Paris and WON the global baking competition, beating the French at their own game. Korean bakers are taking European styles and adding local twists. The new kings of bread!
