Those are most likely windows which have been created without window chrome. The Win32 CreateWindowEx() function has style flags which allows all sorts of modifications down to "just give me a featureless rectangle to draw into". That's a really nice thing about the Win32 window system, it gives you a fully featured default window and then you can gradually override the defaults as needed.

IOW if you're a developer in EU you can now voice your stance (whatever it might be) about whether companies have only duties to their shareholders (not an easy sell in this case anyway) or perhaps they have some duties to the society they provide services to and benefit from.

I have no opinion whether Epic was a good customer or not. 'They were asking for it' sometimes isn't enough... maybe?
The problem with all ratchets is that they are difficult to unwind, typically because there is a dangerous amount of tension that the ratchet has accumulated over time as it's been wound up. The C language probably felt like a ratchet in 1970. Ditto OO. Today's ratchet is tomorrow's lethal deadweight. Doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying.
Microsoft teams doesn't load slowly because of the animations, you can turn all of them off if you mess around with the settings and your windows registry enough. It loads slowly because MS have a huge incentive to keep adding features and almost no incentive to optimise it because the software is almost always purchased by large institutions, half of whom have vendor lock in already, and imposed on the people who actually use it day to day, who have no power to change it.
Simple for the audience on HN perhaps but not for the non-technical everyday person.
> That isn't an inherent problem with having a secret in the url. The problem is the url was leaked somewhere where it could get indexed.

Technically you're right -- after all sending an authentication as a separate header doesn't make any difference.

GET /endpoint/?Auth=token

or

GET /endpoint
Auth: token

Sends the same data over the wire.

However software treats URLs differently to headers. They sit in browser histories, server logs, get parsed by MITM firewalls, mined by browser extensions, etc

using https://user:pass@site.com/endpoint or https://auth:token@site.com/endpoint

Would be better than

https://site.com/endpoint/user/pass or https://site.com/endpoint/?auth=token

As the former is less likely to be stored, either on the client or on the server. I don't do front end (or backend authentication -- I just rely on x509 client certs or oidc and the web server passes the validated username)
Have you changed your mind on „The End of Finetuning“ (https://www.latent.space/p/fastai ) or did I simply misunderstand that?

Those 10+ highly educated people can sign an NDA though, meanwhile OpenAI definitely logs everything anyone inputs into ChatGPT and will inevitably accidentally leak some of it one day.

The principle is sound, but local models are really the only option when working on data you don't want to make public.

Completely agree. And in 99% of cases, an instant indicator is enough and you don't need an animation.

The few places where animation makes sense are places where it is natural. For example, smooth scrolling and scroll acceleration in touch interfaces have to be animated to work, and they actually improve usability by allowing the user to work less.

I think most modern user interfaces are designed to look great for people who aren't actually using them, i.e. in demos and in stores where you pick up a phone to look at. In that case flat UIs with smooth transitions and shadows will, to the naive eye, look way more polished than UIs with proper contrast and no animations. This is also the reason that TVs come with ridiculous default settings for sharpening, contrast and frame interpolation, not because it actually is better, but because it looks better in the store and therefore sells better.

But UIs that you use every day shouldn't look great, they should allow you to get actions done as quickly as you can think of them, and effectively serve as an extension of your thought process.
Even worse, some will simply arbitrarily silently truncate the password. But not everywhere! The sign up page might silently truncate and then the actual login page might not.
I don't think anyone here can imagine my bewilderment, confusion, and ultimately anger, the day I discovered that in the web interface for Outlook, Ctrl+V is the default shortcut for... send email.

I would very much like to know what went through their heads when they decided on that. On further thought, maybe I don't.
I find passphrases to be better at tackling this exact scenario (and others). The password is long and secure but easy to type because it’s composed with actual English words.

Sure, but charging so little for such valuable land is effectively a subsidy for storing your private property on public land. Ideally there's:

* market-rate parking (ensuring there are always spots)

* a parking benefit district to benefit the area

* No rules forcing people to build parking, instead letting the market decide the best use of land
Why not? Latency?

the gfw was not built by some random "chinese officials", it's powered by the IT industry with contractors all the way down. There isn't a monolith wall either. There are multiple generations of TCP/IP middle boxes sold to various levels of ISP over many years.

What would you say if I told you Bryar has lots of stories of this style of thinking applied in early Amazon? This is pre-AWS Amazon, mind you — where they were trying to figure out how to build e-commerce web software at scale, from scratch. Granted, the bulk of their process control was directed at customer-facing controllable input metrics, but the software engineers were as much a part of it as the operational folks.

I don't have his permission to tell some of these stories, but Eugene Wei has some hints of it here: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2017/11/13/remove-the-legend

(To be fair to you, you are adamant that SPC does not apply to software development — which I take to mean measuring the productivity or act of building software. And I think we are all in agreement there! (That said, like kqr and jacques_chester, I want to believe that this has not been sufficiently explored) But it's not true that SPC has no place in software development — one way I've used this is that because XmR charts detect changes in variation, you can use it in a customer-facing software context to see if a feature change has resulted in user behaviour change without running an A/B test. Naturally, it makes sense to have the software engineer be responsible for observing this behaviour change themselves, since XmR charts are easy enough for the layman to use, and it gives them a sense of ownership for the feature or change. Some detail (on usage vs A/B tests) here: https://commoncog.com/two-types-of-data-analysis/)
I get this point, but I just don't see us anywhere near technology that warrants this level of concern. The most advanced technology can't write 30 lines of coherent Go for me using billions of dollars in hardware. Sure, more compute will help it write more bullshit faster, and possibly tell better lies, but it's not going to make it sentient. There's a fundamental technological problem that differentiates what we have and intelligence. And until there's some solution for that I'm not really worried. To me it looks like a bunch of hype and marketing over a neat card trick.

This has nothing to do with the US. This has something to do with a small set of companies (less than 10) and how they act in the EU.

Even Apple was so annoyed at this themselves that they actually went for a full open-source open-for-contributions GitHub repository at https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources to get around these issues.

> Many password managers generate strong, unique passwords for people so that they aren't tempted to create their passwords by hand, which leads to easily guessed and reused passwords. Every time a password manager generates a password that isn't compatible with a website, a person not only has a bad experience but a reason to be tempted to create their password. Compiling password rule quirks helps fewer people run into issues like these while also documenting that a service's password policy is too restrictive for people using password managers, which may incentivize the services to change.
Machine learning and information theory concepts towards an AI Mathematician
Yoshua Bengio, Nikolay Malkin

The current state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence is impressive, especially in terms of mastery of language, but not so much in terms of mathematical reasoning. What could be missing? Can we learn something useful about that gap from how the brains of mathematicians go about their craft? This essay builds on the idea that current deep learning mostly succeeds at system 1 abilities -- which correspond to our intuition and habitual behaviors -- but still lacks something important regarding system 2 abilities -- which include reasoning and robust uncertainty estimation. It takes an information-theoretical posture to ask questions about what constitutes an interesting mathematical statement, which could guide future work in crafting an AI mathematician. The focus is not on proving a given theorem but on discovering new and interesting conjectures. The central hypothesis is that a desirable body of theorems better summarizes the set of all provable statements, for example by having a small description length while at the same time being close (in terms of number of derivation steps) to many provable statements.
Jesus christ this is atrocious. I'm transgender and this is just the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.

I know one such person, sold his full stake before the SPAC for the nominall SPAC price minus some, negligible, discount. Shortly after SPAC, it tanked. Since the they are positioning themselves as an Angel investor and early start-up expert. Might well be true, they have the money to be an Angel and argueably stayed with their company until SPAC. What I never understood was, why for the love of god, he choose to stay with the SPAC company...

That's a rather idiosyncratic interpretation. If you want to write something rebellious insulting the emperor, 皇帝卑俗無德, the thousand characters have got you covered.

Same for the intellectual first sentence of Confucius' Analects 子曰: 學而時習之, 不亦說乎? And of course people would also study other texts that would introduce them to additional vocabulary.

Your character count for the Shouwen dictionary is way off, it has less than 10000 distinct characters, and its primary purpose wasn't to provide obscure characters for use in new texts, but to provide easier-to-understand definitions for characters found in old texts. A tool to ease understanding, not hinder it.

I'm not sure which of Lu Xun's essays in particular you're referring to, but in general his beef was with the continued use of literary Chinese, not that people weren't being taught enough characters to write in it.

> You have to compare to competitors in the industry to get a clearer picture.

This tells you nothing. They each have the same incentives. They want you to pay a premium to the manufacturer for repairs, because they're the manufacturer, and because that causes more devices to be uneconomical to repair and so more people have to buy new ones.

It all depends on your the definition of the 'loss' function. One can actually include robustness/sensitivity as the goal and optimize for that.

This is their stated justification, but it doesn't hold water. The device could refuse to accept a part if the part is from a device that has been reported stolen but they have it refusing to accept a part from a device that hasn't been stolen.

Congrats on the release.

On Twitter someone asked you if you would provide any risk assessment reflection, and you replied that the risk would be similar to the release of a new model of pen or pencil.

That reply, while cute, isn’t accurate. A new pencil does not mean new capabilities for humanity, while the whole point of your release is that it does afford new capabilities and therefore new risks.

The woman, a professor working on the societal impacts of AI, asked a straightforward question in apparent good faith [1]. Your reply did not seem to me to be in good faith.

Can you explain the apparent disconnect? I’m less concerned as to whether or not you would release an assessment and more concerned at the dismissive attitude, especially towards a female professor studying societal impacts of AI, a fellow researcher.

I think most of these stations are on networks that had a coherent planning that was followed through from the beginning - like in Munich, where the U-Bahn network started to be built in the 1960s (late compared to Berlin and Hamburg) and was continuously under construction, mostly following the original plan, until 2010. Munich has two of these cross-platform transfer stations, Scheidplatz and Innsbrucker Ring. Both of them were built with 4 tracks from the beginning and had to wait several years (or even decades) until the cross-platform transfer concept was actually fully used with two lines coming from different directions and also continuing in different directions. There are two more four-track stations (Münchner Freiheit and Olympiazentrum) which will probably never be used as cross-platform transfer stations - I think at Olympiazentrum the additional tracks were intended to increase capacity for large events (football matches, concerts etc.).
