GRASP is a new gradient-based planner for learned dynamics (a “world model”) that makes long-horizon planning practical by (1) lifting the trajectory into virtual states so optimization is parallel across time, (2) adding stochasticity directly to the state iterates for exploration, and (3) reshaping gradients so actions get clean signals while we avoid brittle “state-input” gradients through high-dimensional vision models.

Key Takeaways Regulated industries face a communications visibility gap – fragmented tools, siloed knowledge, and legacy systems slow response times and increase compliance risk. The latest release of EngageOne RapidCX addresses this with three core advances: a Metrics-Driven Homepage, a Communication Tracker, and a governed Next Best Action AI Agent. RapidCX provides a clear modernization path away from legacy Customer Communication Management (CCM) platforms, enabling cloud-ready, compliant, high-quality customer communications. If you manage communications in industries like financial services, insurance, utilities, or the public sector, the pressure is on. Your team is responsible for sending thousands of outbound communications –…

Last week I had the honor of delivering a commencement speech at the University of Namur (uNamur) for their 2025 graduation ceremony. Standing in front of freshly minted computer science graduates, I talked about the future of software development in the age of AI. My message to them was simple: AI will not make you obsolete. We’ve seen tools evolve over the decades, from punch cards to IDEs to AI-assisted coding, but the work remains yours, not the tool’s. The developers who will thrive are those who stay curious, think in systems, communicate with precision, and take ownership of what…

A 24-year-old British national and senior member of the cybercrime group “Scattered Spider” has pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft. Tyler Robert Buchanan admitted his role in a series of text-message phishing attacks in the summer of 2022 that allowed the group to hack into at least a dozen major technology companies and steal tens of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency from investors. Buchanan’s hacker handle “Tylerb” once graced a leaderboard in the English-language criminal hacking scene that tracked the most accomplished cyber thieves. Now in U.S. custody and awaiting sentencing, the Dundee, Scotland native…

TORONTO — As Ontario’s electricity demand is projected to grow significantly over the next two decades, non-wires solutions—a term that encompasses energy storage, demand response to alleviate peak loads, energy efficiency, and decentralized power generation—are emerging as a prudent way to defer and avoid costly grid upgrades.  New analysis commissioned by Clean Energy Canada and conducted by The Brattle Group finds that distributors and system operators can achieve significant cost-savings when distributed energy resources (DERs) are leveraged to mitigate distribution system constraints. If this type of targeted DER deployment and control can be scaled across the province, it could reduce…

Creating a Swift framework shouldn’t be hard. This tutorial will help you making a universal framework for complex projects. What is a framework?A framework is a hierarchical directory that encapsulates shared resources, such as a dynamic shared library, nib files, image files, localized strings, header files, and reference documentation in a single package.So in a nutshell, a framework is a highly reusable component for your apps.How to make it?There is an article about Xcode conventions which will help you organize your projects, you should check that first, if you haven’t before.Traditional wayThere is a traditional way to make a framework…

Cisco Blogs / Developer / Recap Scaling the Future: Reddit AMA on Network Automation at Scale TL;DR: Cisco’s Strategic Direction Cisco is shifting toward a unified operational model that emphasizes standardization, human-in-the-loop AI, and intent-based automation. AI as a “Reasoning Layer”: Cisco is not moving toward fully autonomous AI. Instead, AI acts as a reasoning tool that analyzes telemetry, detects issues, and proposes validated fixes. Human approval is always required before any configuration changes are pushed to the network. Unified Operations (AgenticOps): The goal is to bridge the gap between cloud-managed (Meraki) and on-premises (Catalyst) environments. By using a single…

Be careful delegating your work to that chatbot: A new peer-reviewed study published this month by the American Psychological Association found that people who heavily rely on AI tools for work tasks reported feeling less confident in their abilities and had less ownership over their work.There has been growing research on how our brains function when we use AI tools. A landmark study from MIT in 2025 found that our brains don’t retain as much information or employ necessary critical thinking skills when writing tasks are outsourced to AI chatbots. This new study aimed to understand how our human behavior, specifically…

I want to discuss accessibility because it is the most important thing for making websites. Other A List Apart articles give you innovation and insight. This article will give you homework. These are just my personal views, but they’re pretty good. Article Continues Below I want to start off with a couple of statements, and you will agree: Designers are good people. I have never heard a designer say, “I don’t care if somebody can’t read this text”, “Not my fault if somebody can’t use this device”, or “Who cares if this is confusing?” Some designs exclude people. You have…
