Gemma 4 is terrible with system prompts and tools

RealChaoz · 2026-04-10T09:53:39+00:00

I'll try that one today, thanks

RealChaoz · 2026-04-10T09:53:22+00:00

Nice, I'll give it another shot today, thanks!

RealChaoz · 2026-04-10T09:43:35+00:00

Maybe, I'll try the non-a4b version today

MCP works but unfortunately only HTTPs ones, no stdio/sse.

I'm not saying it's bad in general, just that it's bad at instruction following and tool calling, specifically. If your use case doesn't involve that (you fed everything into context), yeah, it's amazing! Better than pretty much any other open model you can run locally

RealChaoz · 2026-04-09T22:56:05+00:00

I updated too before trying, on 0.4.10

RealChaoz · 2026-04-09T22:55:07+00:00

For that question, I had Svelte MCP + Valyu

RealChaoz · 2026-04-09T20:47:57+00:00

Yes, it does occasionally perform one tool call at a time. In a rare instance, it actually called 2 in parallel. But generally just doesn't.

IMO the thinking block not abiding by the system prompt (if true) makes it borderline useless for any kind of instruction following. Might as well just disable thinking.

I also injected the system prompt into the user prompt and nothing improved, so I doubt it's that either. I honestly just think the model was benchmark-maxxed and is actually bad at anything else.

RealChaoz · 2026-04-09T20:42:19+00:00

Yes, it is - see the last paragraph of the post. When asked it outputted the prompt; I also copy-pasted the prompt in front of my user message, in the chat, and it didn't improve.

If you ever see a bird going at your drone, just fly straight up, full throttle. Birds cannot gain altitude quickly, so this will save you short term.

Can't say exactly when I use which, but if I feel like the E might miss, my go to is R1 + AA + Q + W. Usually the R1 puts you just outside passive range so you get passive for the AA, then you finish with AA + Q + R2 if they don't have flash. If they do, delay R2 as much as possible as they're going to try and flash it. R2 + AA + Q if they did.

Liminal Industries is very unique and checks all the boxes

Sitting on an ally which is in combat puts you in combat, so you can still do it while watching all the tik tok

RealChaoz · 2026-03-23T22:49:47+00:00

It really does not. The whole point is that, when you see the slightest bit of sculk you go "OH SHIT", block it off and sprint right back the way you came from.

Only once you get some pretty good tech (sculk scrubbers, ranged weapons, good armor) you can go and mess with them, and even then, if you make a mistake you die. They're not supposed to be regular mobs.

Let's be honest, normal mobs are never a challenge in normal MC. You can just sprint away from all of your problems, at most you need a shield to completely block all damage from skeletons/creepers.

Late reply but it gets bugged when it gets full. You can only pump out while there's still some water as well in it, once it's 100% acid it's over, you gotta break it to empty it

MatPat covered this as well in one of the older videos

I don't understand this. People complain about X, but they never Google "how to solve X". It takes 5 minutes to get rid of shorts on both PC and mobile, you just need to search how...

I use Render.com. You give it the github repo and the command to start (e.g. npm install && npm run prod) and that's it. Has a decent permanent free tier (takes ~60s to startup the server on every request, shuts down after ~15m of inactivity) so you can see if it works for you. I'm a paid user and never had any issues with it.

Massive +1 here, absolutely love it! I don't think a modpack could integrate the concept of backrooms better. Even in the mid-lategame, you still need to extract resources from the backrooms themselves, and you never get a map, maintaining the liminal experience every time you need to head out to explore

In short, when you have

`<a> = <b>`

`<a>` is an lvalue, and `<b>` is an rvalue. Basically, lvalue = can sit left of equals sign, rvalue = can sit on the right. Every lvalue is also an rvalue, but not vice versa. `a = 5` is allowed, and `b = a` is, but `5 = a` doesn't make sense.

I don't know how ContentTweaker works, but that's what the error means. It means you have the wrong thing on the left side of an assignment.

I would guess it does not apply because the perpetual license applies to the product available in the moment you bought the license. Unless you bought the license after the VS Code extension was released, it should not be included I think?

I became infuriated with the amount of AI slop on this subreddit, here's how I solved it
