This, even on android via termux you can run ollama with gpu accelaration on phone. This works, though milage will vary.

Right, all valid points, but consider the scale of a game like those coming out of rockstar. I'd understand for indie games and arcade games, but a single player rpg that will likely never be seen in arcade settings? Seems odd to me to see it here. Rockstar has the resources to do it properly, one would think, no?

Suppose you don't care as much about replays, and you're willing to use other tricks to "cheat" on multiplayer sync instead (because most AAA titles seem to have multiplayer these days). Suppose, instead, your top priority is visual fidelity and being perceived as having cutting-edge graphics. You want maximum computational effort going into letting the gamers with a top-of-the-line GPU render on their 360FPS monitor. And you want lots of objects and realistic physics.

If you run physics on a global timer, you could run it at a slower rate and try to fake some of those frames (extrapolating intermediate positions of objects), which is complex. Or you could run it at a faster rate, and every frame has real physics updates, and then it's taking time you could be using for graphics or something else that you think sells better. And there are ways around that, too, but they're complicated and your team is busy and they aren't what your engine gives you for free...

I miss 4.5. It was gold.

4.5 sonnet/opus/haiku are still available via github copilot plugins.

Rose tinted glasses

Nah, until recently i still had access via web chat interface, and often paste a transcript and files for somethong 4.7 keeps fucking up, paste response into files as appropriate, and attempt to continue with 4.7.

I swear 4.6+ looks for reasons to ask clarifying questions sometimes, even when really not required, and this fucks flow/quality up in a big way.

I just wish there was a "im not stupid" checkbox you can use to get a minimalistic interference access to claude. Im starting to use local models again, which I havent in a while because claude was so much better, but once i fully lose access to 4.5 it might be time to go back to fully local for good. 4.6+ fails to add value for me, projects 4.5- did good jobs on first try now require multiple prompts and feedback. Exact same initial prompt and project files extracted from archive. I liked claude because it aced those tests while local required handholding. Now claude requires handholding, so why use it over local? Once 4.5 leaves openrouter it might just be time.

4.5 was clearly better than .6 and .7. Like, clear as day.

.6 is some sort of quantized or distilled .5 with a bit more RL, and the current .5 is that same cost reduced model without the extra RL.

Wild that it gets billed before it is accepted.

Good lord, these cases are quite problematic, i was going to use claude for some legacy stuff but i don't feel like getting banned over something innocent "can you identify a how we can fix the slave's behaviour? They're not listening to master properly"

Imagine you are working on a hobby game, with terms like attack and equipping weapons :)

I have opus consume >90% of my quota in a single prompt to form a plan then refuse to output it and tell me it's been stopped due to terms of service, please use sonnet.

The beatings will continue until moral improves

Don't you mean morale? Businesses are basically amoral by desi....ooooooooh. I see what you did there.

List is massive. Anything novel? It'll fuck up without extreme handholding. Anything for which the components arent solved public published problems? It'll fuck it up.

Basically, claude can solve issues for you where it requires the implementation of existing code or a combination of existing patterns, but novel it cannot do.

The whole movie is worth a watch. It was made by Teddy Katz, an Israeli student whose 1990s thesis on the massacre was discredited after legal action by veterans, largely baseless push-back against the thesis which was well researched and strongly supported by primary evidence. The movie is called "Tantura" and was released in 2022. IF you're not an AV person, the wiki on the tantura massacre is worth a read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantura_massacre

I mean, I'll take being allowed to boycott israel and call their genocide a genocide in my supposedly sovereign country, without getting arrested over it.

Can you please do the same thing with the same fervent passion against all countries that do this. From the US and Russia, to Sudan.

What makes you think I don't? I can (and do) boycott these and more, UAE for example is a nono for working with or using products and services of. The difference is, I am not allowed to do the same for israel, which is magnitudes worse than any of those you've listed so far. There is nothing in modern history that matches israeli depravity.

If being against genocide and war-crimes makes one a jihadist, then the vast majority of the world is a jihadist, making the term itself useless. You can just say 'everyone'.
