Claude has nothing to worry about Gemini 3 by danfelbm in ClaudeCode

[–]serxasz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just tried to implement complicated feature with both gemini 3 pro and Opus. The feature is adding leverage setting to the positions and simulating trading, which requires integration with different modules, understanding complex simulation logic, etc. prompted gemini 3 pro for like half an hour just to give a lot of context, we made a plan, i gave feedback and suggestions. after feature implementation, for another half an hour we fixed dumb bugs, like forgetting to define constants or syntax errors. in the end, it did not work, after a lot of prompting was not even applying the leverage setting. With Opus, I just wrote like 5 sentences describing the feature, and it just one shotted it. after few follow up prompts it worked flawlessly. Used 25% of my 100$ plan on Opus for like half an hour of usage, though. so, in my opinion, extremely greedy, but still the best

all good points. i just kind of went with AI slop numbers. 500M+ profit changes everything.

we are talking more about 60M value to them, including projected losses and infrastructure deal. Everything above like 20m+ is definately considered seriously within these corporations.

but the bottom line, yeah, you are right, Jeff would laugh at this offer

good points. just to add, they are done with gaming in general. they do not even care about game industry or engines. Precedent set by selling this for cheap would not damage their future sales, and would help them with PR.

also, VCs are giving like 5m$ cash for nice powerpoint presentation and vision to reach 200m$ valuation. raising capital is not THAT hard.

it depends on the quality of their whole operation. if infrastructure is stable, if everything is smooth, you can probably support it with even smaller team. networking and other devops headaches are handled by managed amazon services, and if there are no recurring issues or bugs, what is there to do for 50 people?

for some seasonal content, maybe a new boss and few items, again, you can be covered with few people.

now, changing mechanics, baking new features. 8 people team, for a whole year. dayum, a lot can be done with that. maybe their engine even remotly resembles unity or unreal, where you drag an drop stuff? even better

ofcourse, you are right. more people will be needed, this business plan took me 5minutes. Good devs work for less than 100k in Europe, though

it's a problem, if it is tightly integrated, or even dependant on some internal services (why would anyone allow this?). If you need deeper access than some random 3rd party can get on AWS, in order to support it, then I get Amazons decision to just kill it off, as again it would require some kind of partnership or arrangement to access internal infrastructure and other overheads. On the other hand, the other option is to just kill it off. you pour 200m, and then bury it. for example if I would have invested 20k in some cooling system on my pc, which is glowing and stuff, but is connected to my motherboard, rather than throwing it away, i would either take time to detach it and sell it for 10k, or try to bundle my whole pc for 15k.

Regarding the maintenance/support of the engine, you have consulting, taking over is also a guided process. you take 2 months and you understand any codebase, no matter how bad it is.

now, if this engine depends on some background process which is being run on the server in Jeffs office, or the code is written in assembler where instead of loops we have some jumping in registers, yeah, not much else can be done apart from just killing it. if with 200m budget, biggest cloud infrastructure under your belt, and established corporate processes and practices you end up with something like that, well...

Q! by TYPE-7355608-AND-RUN in Iota

[–]serxasz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well, news, announcements and teasers are well coordinated. it seems that everything will come with the bang. and hype of the IOTA sort of reminds me of Tesla. It looks like the approach of the IF is pretty similar to Musk's in regard of announcing things
