Finding leaked passwords with AI: How we built Copilot secret scanning
Passwords are notoriously difficult to detect with conventional programming approaches. AI can help us find passwords better because it understands context. This blog post will explore the technical challenges we faced with building the feature and the novel and creative ways we solved them.

In-reply-to » I read a lot about Clean Code, SOLID, TDD, DDD... now I'm discovering «A Philosophy of Software Design»... but nobody talks about the importance of the project architecture. Do we depend on the framework to do the work for us? You know I'm a big fan of Clean Architecture, but I feel alone when I share my thoughts on social media or at work. You have to think outside the framework.

I agree. finding good writings on architecture is hard to find. I used to read architecture reviews over on the high scalability blog. i suspect the reason why is that the arch is how the big tech companies can build moats around their bases. I know in AWS world it only goes as far as how to nickle and dime you to death.

I have the books but they don’t grow much more past interview level.

In-reply-to » I'm in an article in Quanta Magazine! It's about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that's already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I'm the one with all the snow in the background.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Neat, I got the principle, so mission accomplished. :-)

I have configured my vim to use a tab width of four. So, I noticed that especially https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/reachability_with_stack.cc (but also partially the other C++ file) mixes tabs and spaces for indentation. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am a big fan of “obvious” math facts that turn out to be wrong. If you want to understand how reusing space actually works, you are mostly stuck reading complexity theory papers right now. Ian wrote a good survey: https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/~iwmertz/papers/m23.reusing_space.pdf . It’s written for complexity theorists, but some of will make sense to programmers comfortable with math. Alternatively, I wrote an essay a few years ago explaining one technique, with (math-loving) programmers as the intended audience: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/ .

In-reply-to » @eapl.me Read flags are so simple, yet powerful in my opinion. I really don't understand why this is not a thing in most twtxt clients. It's completely natural in e-mail programs and feed readers, but it hasn't made the jump over to this domain.

that’s a fair point.

Perhaps, since Twitter in 2006 never implemented read flags, every derivative microblogging system never saw that as an expected feature. This is curious because Twitter started with SMS, where on our phones we can mark messages as read or unread.
I think it all comes from the difference between reading an email (directed to you) vs. reading public posts (like a blog or a ‘wall,’ where you don’t mark posts as read). It’s not necessary to mark it as ‘read’, you just jump over it.

Reading microblogging posts in an email program is not common, I think, and I haven’t really used it, so I cannot say how it works, and whether it would be better for me or not.
However, I’ve used Thunderbird as a feed reader, and I understand the advantages when reading blog posts.

About read flags being simple, well… we just had a discussion this morning about how tracking read messages would require a lot of rethinking for clients such as timeline where no state is stored. Even considering some kind of ‘notification of unread messages or mentions’ is not expected for those minimalist client, so it’s an interesting compromise to think about.

In-reply-to » @andros The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let's try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing "forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective". But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You're writing for "the future you, one right person, one day" but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Yeah, this AI crap is a big reason not to blog.

[ANN] Lighting up the quantum computing horizon with Aurora

Referencing Xanadu’s blog post released on 22nd Jan 2025 about their implementation of fault-tolerant, networked, scaleable quantum computing at room temperature that if i am understanding the post correctly could be used to efficiently build a quantum computer that is resourceful enough to threaten the monero’s cryptography.
