It's not a conspiracy. There's a finite amount of compute available, and they will sell it to the highest bidder. If another company can produce the same intelligence for cheaper, then they will drive the price down.
stri8ed··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
Output cost is 3x from Gemini 3 flash.

Given the cost increase associated with this model, and previous model releases, I think the size is trending upwards, not down.
stri8ed··on An investigation into Substrate
Is it fair to characterize a founder of a failed startup as a con man? I.e. did he make claims that were factually untrue, and intentionally deceived investors?
stri8ed··on Flock's gunshot detection microphones will start listening for human voices
What is the counterfactual? Without knowing the number of attacks prevented by these tools, we don't know what the baseline would be.

Having adequate law enforcement training and funding, is not mutually exclusive with leveraging technology for more effective enforcement. In fact that's where some of the funding goes. I would be interested in seeing some data reflecting a reduction in crime as a result of increasing the welfare system, as you claim.

Not a chance. Even if American companies did abide by it, there is no reason Chinese companies would. And good luck definitely proving that a model trained on it.
stri8ed··on GPT-5
That problem along with its many solutions are surely littered throughout the training data. Not to mention, it would be trivial to overfit on that problem. I don't know why people still reference that.
stri8ed··on Grok 4 Launch [video]
It's a result of the system prompt, not the base model itself. Arguably, this just demonstrates that the model is very steerable, which is a good thing.
stri8ed··on OpenAI’s board, paraphrased: ‘All we need is unimaginable sums of money’
Trained at least in part on Chat-GPT data.
stri8ed··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
It would happen in China regardless what is done here. Removing billionaires does not fix this. The ship has sailed.
stri8ed··on Large Enough
The benchmarks agree as well.
stri8ed··on Implementation of Google's Griffin Architecture – RNN LLM
Isn't that how previous models were, before the attention is all you need paper?
stri8ed··on DBRX: A new open LLM
Or be in the business of building infrastructure for AI inference.
stri8ed··on Ask HN: If you've used GPT-4-Turbo and Claude Opus, which do you prefer?
You can modify this, by setting the GPT4 system prompt, with instructions of your preferred response style.
stri8ed··on Ask HN: If you've used GPT-4-Turbo and Claude Opus, which do you prefer?
For programming, GPT4+. I was excited to switch to Claude after hearing all the positive anecdotes. Having tried it, I'm very unimpressed. It spouted complete, confident sounding nonsense, when I prompted it with a bug I was trying to solve. GPT4, did not get it right initially, but it was more suggestive, instead of wrongly declaring the fault, and lead me to the answer after a few more prompts. Will not be renewing my Claude subscription.
stri8ed··on A seafood firm wants to farm octopus. Activists say they're too smart for that
It's impossible to prove.
stri8ed··on 23andMe's Fall
I don't think you can infer someone's age and skin colon from that post.
stri8ed··on Noisy brain may underlie some of autism's sensory features
In humans, a software problem can become a hardware problem, due to plasticity in the hardware. See alcoholism for example.
stri8ed··on Wikidata, with 12B facts, can ground LLMs to improve their factuality
Do existing LLM's not already train on this data?
stri8ed··on Decoding the ACL Paper: Gzip and KNN Rival Bert in Text Classification
In such a scheme, wouldn't synonyms of the same word be no closer to each other, than any other random string?
stri8ed··on Tuition costs have risen 710% since 1983
What is the rate of increase, and how does it compare to CPI inflation?
stri8ed··on GGML – AI at the Edge
How does the quantization happen? Are the weights preprocessed before loading the model?
stri8ed··on Waymo and Uber partner to bring autonomous driving technology to Uber
Let's not forget Google maps, which already integrates other ride share platforms.
stri8ed··on Majority of gig economy workers are earning below minimum wage: research
Very important distinction here, and that is self volition. To be clear I'm not saying it's good or bad. I think it's a genuine question. What if there are simply not enough jobs available at the rates that people want to be paid?
stri8ed··on Majority of gig economy workers are earning below minimum wage: research
Would there be any demand for those gig works, if it had to pay comparable to full employment? And would that be a good thing?
stri8ed··on NaturalSpeech 2: Zero-shot speech and singing synthesizers
It's the cost factor. Using AI, it's economically feasible to contact a million people, even if only a fraction bite. Not unlike the current spam calls.
stri8ed··on The teen mental illness epidemic is international – Part 1: The Anglosphere
The authors address that by looking at hospitalizations for self harm.
stri8ed··on The teen mental illness epidemic is international – Part 1: The Anglosphere
In the article, the author makes a point to include objective metrics like rate of hospitalizations, and the data is quite conclusive in showing an actual increase. So these issues definitely did not exist before, at the same scale.
stri8ed··on As unions decline, inequality rises
For the same reason that people oppose monopolies. Unions are effectively a monopoly on the labor market.
