California’s recent wildfires were fought by over 780 inmate firefighters who received rigorous taxpayer-funded training. But until recent reforms, many of these trained firefighters faced insurmountable barriers to employment after release—state licensing laws blocked them from the very careers they’d prepared for. lead , Cato scholar Stephen Slivinski examines this issue in a new Washington Post opinion piece, revealing how occupational licensing laws create employment barriers for 70 million Americans with criminal records. The evidence is clear: employment is […]
OpenAI says prompt injections will always be a risk for AI browsers with agentic capabilities, like Atlas. But the firm is beefing up its cybersecurity with an “LLM-based automated attacker.”
In early September, EFF submitted an amicus brief to Ecuador’s Constitutional Court supporting a constitutional challenge filed by Ecuadorian NGOs, including INREDH and LaLibre. The case challenges the constitutionality of the Ley Orgánica de Inteligencia (LOI) and its implementing regulation, the General Regulation of the LOI. EFF’s amicus brief argues that the LOI enables disproportionate surveillance and secrecy that undermine constitutional and Inter-American human rights standards. EFF urges the Constitutional Court to declare the LOI and its regulation […]
Key Highlights: If you use NotebookLM, this might be the news you wanted to hear for a long time now. NotebookLM is unarguably one of the best AI tools to exist at this point, but Google isn’t done with pushing even more upgrades. The company is reportedly working on another notable upgrade related to long-form audio learning behind the scenes. NotebookLM’s Lecture mode focuses on long-form explanations The news comes via Testing Catalog, which reported that Google is […]

From daily weather measurements or traffic sensor readings to stock prices, time series data are present nearly everywhere.
Announcing: 𝗪𝗪-𝗣𝗚𝗗 — 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 I just released WW-PGD, a small PyTorch add-on that wraps standard optimizers (SGD, Adam, AdamW, etc.) and applies an epoch-boundary spectral projection using WeightWatcher diagnostics. Elevator pitch: WW-PGD explicitly nudges each layer toward the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) critical manifold during training. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 • HTSR critical condition: α ≈ 2 • SETOL ERG condition: trace-log(λ) over the spectral tail = 0 WW-PGD makes these explicit optimization targets, rather than […]
It’s unusual to be in the situation of reviewing a book no one will like. I don’t mean that literally; a handful of people will appreciate Paul Kingsnorth’s new book, Against the Machine, probably the same people who have followed his work for the past decade. Continue Reading…
