EFF Backs Constitutional Challenge to Ecuador’s Intelligence Law That Undermines Human Rights
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.

Japan Develops Next-Generation Drug Design, Healthcare Robotics and Digital Health Platforms
To provide high-quality medical care to its population — around 30% of whom are 65 or older — Japan is pursuing sovereign AI initiatives supporting nearly every aspect of healthcare. AI tools trained on country-specific data and local compute infrastructure are supercharging the abilities of Japan’s clinicians and researchers so they can care for patients, amid an expected shortage of nearly 500,000 healthcare workers by next year. Breakthrough technology deployments by the country’s healthcare leaders — including in […]

WW-PGD: Projected Gradient Descent optimizer
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 […]
