Sometimes, what matters isn’t your output but what you put into the process. Think of it like work v the gym I teach public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Munk School at the University of Toronto. And it will come as no surprise to you that my students regularly use AI to complete their writing assignments. Doing so is a waste of their tuition money. But if their entire career is going to include AI writing assistants, why shouldn’t they embrace their future? The best way I’ve foun

Current memory prices have..

Asynchronous reinforcement learning (RL) accelerates large language model (LLM) post-training by overlapping rollout generation with policy optimization, but the resulting stale, off-policy data can destabilize optimization and ultimately cause policy collapse. Existing methods typically retain or discard tokens based solely on the magnitude of their importance ratios, applying the same threshold uniformly across token positions. In this work, we reveal that the natural scale of the importance r

Airbus selected Scaleway as its sovereign cloud provider after a tender that scored protection against non-European extraterritorial legislation alongside technical capability. Airbus frames it as complementing multi-cloud, not exiting AWS. Practitioners note the pattern is spreading past hyperscalers to small US SaaS vendors, and that sovereignty claims still require verifiable controls. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Let’s not start picking out uniforms just yet. The chorus calling for a Cyber Force continues to grow by the day, but the debate has its priorities backward. In June, an amendment from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) calling for the creation of a cyber service within the Department of the Army failed in the Senate Armed Services Committee by a single vote. Support is popular on both sides of the aisle, with Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) quoted as saying that a “Cyber Force is inevitable.” The highly ant

I asked an early-stage investor a simple question: Tell me about a startup that discovered, too late, that it wasn’t allowed to operate the way it had built itself to operate. He gave me three companies. For each one, his answer was some version of the same thing: They haven’t gotten far enough yet for that to be an issue. Still testing. Hasn’t hit the government hurdles. Hasn’t reached the point where it would matter. That wasn’t a bad answer. It was an honest one, from someone whose returns re

Contemporary policy and media discourse on AI and labour follows a recurring pattern. A demonstration of model capability runs through an inference about workplace substitution to a distributional politics, with the variables that would decide the outcome treated as background. This paper names that pattern capability determinism situates it within Wyatt’s account of soft technological determinism, and reframes the substitution question as a unit-cost economics test. On the AI side, cost per tas
