How Traditional Neural Networks Process Data Why Quantum Computers Can’t Access Classical Bits Mapping Classical Data onto Quantum States The Data Encoding Challenge in Quantum Machine Learning Final Thoughts Today’s artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems thrive on vast datasets, using them to detect patterns and make decisions. Typically, the more data a model has access to, the better it performs on new, unseen examples. But when we transition from classical machine learning to quantum machine learning (QML), we immediately face a fundamental obstacle: quantum computers are unable to directly interpret standard classical bits. To perform any meaningful…

Click here to watch the full discussion. Government agencies dealing with a surge in unstructured data are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence and process enhancements to better manage the growing volume of digital records. In a Federal News Network panel organized by Casepoint, representatives from various agencies — from the Army to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) — talked about their initiatives to modernize digital recordkeeping. “Across government, we’re seeing information expand at a pace that people and traditional records management and disclosure methods simply cannot match,” said Timothy Kootz, deputy assistant secretary for shared knowledge services at the…

By Mark Lewis, Chief Marketing Officer at Pulsant For years, UK businesses have been steadily shifting away from relying on a single public Cloud provider for their digital infrastructure needs. Recent findings from Vanson Bourne reveal that 87% of enterprise CIOs intend to partially or fully move away from the public Cloud within the next two years. Meanwhile, Gartner forecasts that by the close of 2026, organisations will have shifted 20% of their current workloads from global public Clouds to local or regional alternatives. This raises two pressing questions for the industry: where exactly are these workloads going, and what…

This article was co-authored by Rahul Vir and Reya Vir. Moving From Experimentation to Token Efficiency We’ve progressed beyond the AI prototyping era. Expanding on the ideas from Escaping the Prototype Mirage [1], product and engineering teams in every sector are now deploying agentic applications that automate workflows previously handled by hand. Getting these autonomous agent prototypes up and running has become remarkably straightforward. It boils down to applying core principles like recursive Agentic Loops (Observe-Think-Act) for task execution, configuring headless gateways to link agents through messaging platforms, and leveraging persistent state that survives across restarts (as detailed in [1]).…

Being a digital asset is the root of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths. Its programmability enables self-custody methods that make theft and seizure extremely difficult. Because it exists digitally, value can be transferred and settled anywhere in the world in just minutes. However, Bitcoin has often been criticized for being hard to conceptualize. In its pure form, Bitcoin cannot be physically touched or held; it is something you can only imagine and comprehend. For many, this presents a major hurdle, leading to numerous efforts to introduce Bitcoin into the physical world, though this is no simple task. For more than ten years,…

Here’s the paraphrased HTML content: Your AI assistant may be intelligent, but it has no memory. Each conversation begins fresh — it doesn’t recall your previous meetings, articles you’ve consumed, or decisions you made last week. GBrain offers an open-source solution. Created by Garry Tan (President and CEO of Y Combinator) to enhance his own OpenClaw and Hermes systems, it uses markdown files with a Postgres backend to process meetings, emails, tweets, and notes, automatically building an organized knowledge graph — without needing any LLM calls for graph construction. Garry’s personal production brain currently contains 146,646 pages, 24,585 individuals, 5,339…

State and local government bodies face ongoing financial and regulatory evaluation. Every item of equipment deployed, every vehicle in the fleet, and every laptop handed to a field employee was acquired using taxpayer money. When reviews come, agencies must deliver documentation that is thorough, trackable, and supportable. Frequently, they fall short. This shortfall is less about technology and more about governance. Once assets number in the the hundreds and departments function independently, the informal methods agencies depended on for years — such as spreadsheets, handwritten records, or isolated databases — begin to falter. The outcome is divided responsibility, heightened compliance…

TencentDB Agent Memory is now available as an open-source memory management framework for AI agents. Released under the permissive MIT license, it tackles a common pain point for developers building agents that operate over extended periods: the tendency for context to inflate uncontrollably and for agents to lose track of previously seen information. The framework pairs a lightweight symbolic short-term memory component with a structured, multi-level long-term memory pipeline. It plugs directly into OpenClaw as a native plugin and connects to Hermes Agent via a Gateway adapter. Out of the box, it uses a local SQLite database enhanced with the…

In brief Argentina’s Ministry of Human Capital launched the “Digital Twin” initiative designed to simulate the impact of social policies before they’re implemented. The promotional video triggered instant mockery for grammatical errors, an AI-generated avatar of Minister Sandra Pettovello, a Singaporean flag, and a visible Amazon AWS logo. Opposition politicians filed formal information requests, and privacy experts warned the system lacks a governance framework and could enable algorithmic surveillance at scale. Argentina’s Ministry of Human Capital has a bold claim: It can predict the future of social policy using artificial intelligence. President Javier Milei announced the “Gemelo Digital Social” initiative…

A supply chain attack targeting the Laravel Lang localization packages has exposed developers to a sophisticated credential-stealing malware campaign after attackers abused GitHub version tags to distribute malicious code through Composer packages. Security firms StepSecurity, Aikido Security, and Socket warned about the compromise on Friday, warning that attackers had rewritten GitHub tags across four repositories maintained by the Laravel Lang organization rather than publishing entirely new malicious versions. The affected packages include laravel-lang/lang, laravel-lang/http-statuses, laravel-lang/attributes, and possibly laravel-lang/actions. The Laravel Lang packages are third-party localization packages and are not part of the official Laravel project. According to Aikido, the attackers…
