Divided Attention Amplifies the Importance of Expectation-Aligned Visualization Design
Jiho Kim, Anna L. Chinni, Karen B. Schloss, Michael Gleicher
arxiv.org/abs/2608.10320 arxiv.org/pdf/2608.10320 arxiv.org/html/2608.10320
arXiv:2608.10320v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Studies have shown that visualization design affects interpretability when visualization interpretation is the user's sole task. However, in real-world settings, users often engage with visualizations while performing concurrent tasks, such as when users simultaneously monitor alerts or respond to messages. Such divided attention may alter how users interpret visualizations, potentially increasing the importance of designs that align with viewer expectations. We investigated this possibility through two experiments comparing visualization interpretation under single-task and dual-task conditions. Specifically, we examined how well-established inferred mappings between color, spatial position, and semantic concepts affect interpretation when users perform a concurrent task, both with unlimited viewing time (Exp. 1) and under limited viewing time (Exp. 2). Our results show that divided attention amplifies the performance gap between expectation-aligned and expectation-violating designs, affecting response time, interpretation accuracy, and the ability to produce a judgment under time constraints. To explain these results, we model the user's decision-making process using a Linear Ballistic Accumulator (LBA) framework. Our findings highlight the increased importance of aligning visualization designs with viewer expectations under divided attention and introduce a process-oriented modeling approach to understanding how expectation and multitasking shape visualization interpretation.

Leaky Language Models: Stealing Architecture and Inference Optimizations via Per-Token Timing
Sadegh Majidi, Niloofar Mireshghallah, Kazem Taram
arxiv.org/abs/2607.20723 arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20723 arxiv.org/html/2607.20723
arXiv:2607.20723v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This work presents LeakyLMs, a set of attacks that leak proprietary model, architecture, and deployment information from production language models. LeakyLMs is the first to demonstrate that key model and deployment details can be inferred using only token generation timing, even when interacting through remote APIs. LeakyLMs introduces two core attacks. The first attack targets inference optimizations and deployment strategies. For example, our attack detects whether a provider uses speculative decoding, a widely deployed inference-time optimization, and further identifies the context length of the draft model used in the pipeline. Our measurements show that Google Gemini Flash 2.5 uses speculative decoding with a draft context window of approximately 128K tokens. The second attack recovers key architectural properties, including the number of transformer layers, hidden dimension size, and number of attention heads. To achieve this, LeakyLMs builds a detailed and accurate model of token-generation timing on modern NVIDIA GPUs, characterizing how latency scales with model configuration and hardware parameters. The attack then performs a search over the architecture space using this timing model. In experiments with Llama models, the near-correct architectural configuration appears in the top-10 guesses more than 90% of the time.

Mostert argued governments and media implemented fear and propaganda tactics to reduce “tolerance for reason and dissenting voices” during the pandemic and claimed the investigation into her paper violated academic freedom and constituted censorship.
Also in her testimony, Mostert said she proposed a revision to the published paper that “included a section on vaccine effectiveness in reducing mortality,” but the suggestion was “ignored by the journal.” She also claimed the original section on containment measures and vaccines was “much shorter in the original version of the paper,” but reviewers “asked us to either delete the text or provide more evidence.

"AI" has introduced whole new ways to be incredibly rude and our social habits have not yet adapted.
If you're feeling frustrated by only having "that's unethical" as a thing to push back on AI, consider "that's incredibly rude what you just did". Not all use is rude, but start paying attention to it.
A concrete example from this morning: Calling someone with a somewhat odd communication style "AI". That should be a thing that is kind of a grave accusation to make, and should be treated as incredibly rude if it's not coming with the evidence that sort of gravity demands.
Another one is prompting LLMs for others, that I've mentioned before.
Another is citing the LLM as an authority. "Claude says..." as a way to win an argument on authoritative rather than factual grounds.
You CAN get good information out of an LLM. But it requires the epistemic humility to do, and if you're not bringing that, it's pretty damn rude. "I believe because Claude says..." is not terrible. At least then we're talking about your belief and not Claude as authority.
Adding a bot to a channel without a chance for the people in it to push back is incredibly rude.
(It's not lost on me that a lot of things that are normal in business to inflict unilaterally on teams are things I consider extremely rude.)

Natalie Harp, a former One America News Network show host, has emerged as a key gatekeeper to the president.
Her presence with Trump when the president left Air Force One as a decoy while sneaking on to another plane in a service cart
– even as senior officials remained behind
– drew attention.
Jon Ossoff, a Democratic senator from Georgia,
amplified that attention with comments at a rally Sunday in Atlanta.
Speaking of Trump, Ossoff said:

During our vacation recently, I tried to practice more foreground and composition for .. not for documenting our vacation, but to capture more a feeling that I had at this moment.
This is one of the photos. Here it felt "better" to me to set the focus to the red poppies because at this moment, they just drew more attention as we were walking towards the gate.
More of this day:

This image captures a picturesque and serene scene featuring a historic building, likely a monastery or church, set against a lush, natural backdrop. The building is characterized by its white walls with red trim, a steeply pitched red roof, and an arched entrance. Atop the roof, there are statues of religious figures, adding a sense of grandeur and historical significance to the structure.
In the foreground, a vibrant meadow stretches out, dotted with red poppies and other wildflowers. The con…

Dis Bilbo, c'était quoi ton moment préféré ?
Y en a un paquet, évidemment, mais il y a ce moment après le troisième contact quand la pression retombe, que les gens autour sont béats et joyeux. Et ce petit rituel du selfie solaire instauré il y a 20 ans dans le désert égyptien. Un moment de partage avec tous les voisins qui sont repartis avec un croissant de soleil en projection sur leur t-shirt ou dans la main. C'était chouette, vraiment...

Homme heureux et béat en chemisette et t-shirt, ce dernier étant une relique d'une précédente éclipse en Zambie en 2001. Sur le t-shirt, un croissant de soleil orangé.et l'image projetée vient d'une petite lunette astro sans filtre solaire dirigée vers le t-shirt. Attention ! Ne jamais mettre l'œil à l'oculaire d'un instrument pointé vers le soleil s'il n'est pas muni d'un filtre adapté !

The Idaho National Laboratory is evaluating whether Chinese lidar sensors might pose a security risk if they become widely used on vehicles in the United States.
That is notable on its own.
But what got our attention is that the research is being funded by a company
— or a group of companies
— in the electric and autonomous vehicle industries. 
Rivian, General Motors, Ford, Kodiak, Lucid Motors, Nuro, and Uber all said they were unaware of the review.
