khalic··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
Thanks very interesting perspective
khalic··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
Because they would be generated with CO2 by industrial processes or carbon capture. I don't see the process becoming economically viable, and hydrocarbon combustion create other toxic byproducts, compared to hydrogen. It will still make sense for usages that require a high J/kg fuel ratio.
khalic··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
New projects are decades from completion given the size of the any reactor, modular is unproven. We need clean power right now, actually 20 years ago
khalic··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
You underestimate how much money oil groups are pouring in lobbying. Energy could fall from the sky, it wouldn't change their mind... oh wait
khalic··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
I'm happy if we don't need more nuclear. We're already leaving the place in a sorry state, might as well not litter it with stuff that can kill you if you look at it too long...
khalic··on Attention Is Not What You Need (2025)
Because having an online footprint is a great way to get cloned and scammed? It’s a great way to get tracked? It’s a great way to get addicted to these “social networks”?
khalic··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
You mean the senile reality tv star who kept breaking their TOS? Yeah totally the same thing…
khalic··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
And once again meta is interfering with election. The scum of the earth…
khalic··on What Is Gridifcation
Yeah I love the connection with the artist and the crowd you feel with small venues
khalic··on What Is Gridifcation
Beautiful use of sound analysis tooling, and pretty much incontrovertible evidence. Love it! Maybe that's the thing that makes most pop songs completely uninteresting to me. It just makes me want to go watch live music even more.

Support your local bands!

khalic··on Qwen3-Coder writes less secure code when told it's for a US persona
Localization is getting out of hand, no need to mimic the general level of intelligence of a region... /s
khalic··on The Future of CSS
They were too slow, people are all tailwind native now and don't know a thing about CSS. I keep seing "full stack devs" complaining about "bleed out" issue, aka C in CSS, cascading
khalic··on FingerWorks iGesture Pad (2005)
Great piece of tech lore
khalic··on Publish fake stats, get cited in LLMs
This is fine work, we need more communication to the general public about this
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
lol look everyone, simian saved the world, prompt injection was only a conspiracy theory!

As I said, study model red teaming, it's a complexe subject

Edit: just ask that same 20 dollar model why it isn’t a good test

khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
Absolutely, and no, you asking Opus to read the page is not a good test of it. Study models red teaming if you're interested
khalic··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
It's certainly not to go to another, even more abusive partner... even more one that has ties to actual, OG nazis
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
You clearly don’t understand how they work by claiming this, prompt injection is an unsolved issue
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
Or plausible deniability
khalic··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
I do think politicians should waive some privacy rights when elected. Same thing for their bank accounts and other assets.
khalic··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
verification with something similar to blockchain would be sufficient
khalic··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Oh so they think it can't get worse... what a lack of culture and imagination
khalic··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
I understand under the horrors of their post WWI economy, but we're nowhere near this kind situation right now... people can eat, they have a good social security net. And the people under that protections are the ones voting against it ?! Sorry /rant
khalic··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
weird focus on abliterated models, how does an "official" model prevent this?
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
no the bug is people finding out about it
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
HN has close to 0 bot guards, do what you want with that information
khalic··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
Damn meta really is the scum of the earth, I don't care if it's "for their bots", it's a public page, I do not give meta the benefit of the doubt given their past interfering with elections, law and human rights in general.
khalic··on Tesla Roadster
it's a show it was not in any way a production car, stop being that gullible people
khalic··on Tesla Roadster
Ask the AI the energy cost of filling such tanks and deduce that from the max range, see what's left after compressing air like that
