Most games require more than just a basic animation player, they have their animation tied to gameplay/input systems, you want a full blown animation timeline system, so you can play specific events (vfx, cancel windows) at specific frames
That's something most game frameworks don't provide as a first class, gameplay oriented systems
When Microsoft is killing physical in 2023 to push for Gamepass and digital only, it's labeled as "progress and infrastructure planning", when it's Sony that does it, it's labeled as "greed and anti consumerism"
Hopefully more people get attentive to how the industry & the media works, and how US Big Tech manages to kill any form of alternative

Microsoft got massive pushback when they did it, Sony even made ad making fun of it. Selective memory much ?
Well Microsoft’s PR machine is working overtime then because I wasn’t even aware of Microsoft doing this until this HN thread whereas Sony was everywhere on social media
This acquisition should be blocked (and never will sadly), they now have both the incentive and the ability to influence a platform that's supposed to be hardware agnostic (and built trust over that) toward CUDA stack
Microsoft did the exact same with github, acquired stack agnostic platform, and turned it into a copilot/azure one
Not a fan of defending GitHub, but TBH them launching GithubActions made me abandon all other CI platforms I was using in the past, I even left GitLab just for that.
A 99.5 means over one year you will need to wait about 40 hours total for the issue to be solved. What kind of high pressure crud app are you making where this is a problem?
Oh yes I can totally believe they use public and private repos for their model training. It is surprising they aren’t ahead of the curve for AI coding like Claude code, codex or cursor because of this.
I very much doubt that. Imagine the PR nightmare and potential liability if someone managed to extract from the model credentials in a private repository.
Explain to me how using OPEN source for training is theft? I've (admittedly skimmed) quite a few licenses, but I really dont remember anyone restricting reading/indexing source code?
MIT license includes: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
The argument is that AI models trained on open source should include the copyright info for all projects blended into the weights. And since they don’t, it violates the terms of the license.
I'm not a OpenRouter user, but if i were, i'd move away from it
This is what i hate about modern entrepreneurship, everything is always built for a short term plan
Family businesses where tradition, trust, values and reputation are kept and transmitted across generations don't exist in tech and it's just sad
It's just build fast, milk users, cash out, and move on
No loyalty, no pride in the work, and zero respect for the people who actually supported you
And actually, it's a defensive move from Stripe, because OpenRouter was quietly becoming the way AI agents pay each other in USDC via x402, and Stripe probably saw this as a threat, specially with OpenAI already moving away from Stripe
They'll nerf you, to protect themselves, they'll make you dependent on their merchant system for the juicy fees
> nobody uses the old definition because it's no longer WW2
These are Cold War terms (post WW2). And for the Cold War era it makes sense to use the original meaning.
IMHO the term "3rd world country" shouldn't be used in the first place when talking about the time after the early 1990s though. It's misleading and the "modern" meaning comes with a hefty whiff of implied racism/colonialism.
