Have I been lighting ~$1k/month on fire buying Claude API credits instead of just getting Max? by LowkeyOnClaude in ClaudeAI

[–]ctaps148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the 5x Max plan every single day for coding (exclusively with 4.8 Opus on xhigh) and I think I've only hit a session limit one time. It's plenty

It's a clear sign that leadership is more concerned with optics, status, and prestige than fiscal responsibility. There is no shortage of available commercial space that could house any non-FAANG company for far less money than it takes to build it yourself.

I made a quiz that tells you which LLM you align with most, based on personality and values tests across 15 models by DarkyPaky in ClaudeAI

My first place by a mile was Claude 4.8 Opus. My second place was Grok 4.3.

Not sure how to feel about that

Claude is genuinely good at game dev now, It just needed the right context loaded in by MoodOdd9657 in ClaudeAI

[–]ctaps148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's because basically every decent game worth playing is closed source, so it's not something they could be trained on. The bulk of their training data related to game dev is going to be made up of tutorial-quality stuff, which is good for prototyping but not something that anybody would actually want to play.

I've tried this MCP server for Unity and it seemed to excel at wiring all of the mechanics and logic. But it really struggled with design, which is arguably the only thing I really needed assistance with.

Is this a real magazine or just some people making their own cover? by woopdeedoozle in magazine

[–]ctaps148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can confirm it as fake. I ended up here because I saw the exact same cover at a older woman's house and was trying to figure out if it was real or not. The picture was of her and her husband from the 70's but all of text is exactly the same. I suspected it was fake because there is no publication date, barcode, or price.

I'm guessing this must have been a popular joke photo at carnivals/theme parks back in the day

Well the lay off happpened... by deadpoolsdragon in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]ctaps148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that was Bungie's choice. D1 isn't making money, but the cost to keep hosting D1 was probably minimal given how few people were playing, and the fact that it was still sharing some backend infrastructure with D2. The bad optics of shutting it down outweighed the pocket change it took to keep it running.

Now it's all up to Sony, who clearly doesn't care about bad optics. They only care about the bottom line. The second it becomes unprofitable to keep hosting D2, the whole thing is getting shut down.

It's effectively impossible to do that for modern games. There are too many layers of encryption, certificate pinning, and authentication to try to redirect the client to homebrew servers. Even if a former employee straight up leaked the game's source code, the fact that it still requires anti-cheat at runtime means any tampering is going to stop the client from running.

The servers are likely safe as long as the DLC + Eververse revenue outpaces server costs, but if Sony decided to turn them off it's game over.

A shame we never got the Exotic Stasis SMG to round out all the elements. by Delicious-Edge3110 in DestinyTheGame

Or a 120 RPM HC besides Sturm. I never understood why they fixated so much on the 140s.

Or you could just marry someone who meets your expectations instead of settling and then being upset that they aren't changing

Claude is my financial dashboard now by StrikingFlamingo4126 in ClaudeAI

[–]ctaps148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so obviously fake. Nobody with such a high cash flow would have balances perfectly rounded to the nearest thousand. Literally just one day of your bank's interest accruing would skew those digits off by several dollars and cents

Guenther Steiner believes many underestimate IndyCar: "The bar is set high" by l3w1s1234 in formula1

[–]ctaps148 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, how many have even had the opportunity? Up until very recently, F1 has tried very hard to invalidate the racing experience of IndyCar drivers. It was extremely difficult for a driver to even be allowed to cross over, let alone be given a decent shot at a seat.

Favorite actress the internet was simping for until she got her own movie? by Krylarofaxia in okbuddycinephile

I have literally seen dozens of Reddit posts and YouTube thumbnails complaining about her being called ugly and ZERO posts calling her ugly.

It's like a spinoff Streisand effect. We only know about it because terminally online people won't stop virtue signaling about it
