North Wales Police (NWP) has worked with D-Wave on a proof-of-concept hybrid quantum computing application to optimise the placement of police vehicles for emergency response. The pair reported that the hybrid quantum approach was able to deliver faster, more accurate and more efficient emergency response, allowing NWP to reduce the average incident response time by nearly 50%. Hybrid quantum computing works like an accelerator, combining the capabilities of quantum computers to solve complex problems with classical computing’s strength in processing logic operations sequentially at scale. According to D-Wave, the challenge with using classical optimisation technology is that NWP officers…

GoDaddy has stepped in to address what it describes as a growing issue in the AI ecosystem by creating a trusted identity naming system for AI agents. With over one billion agents expected to be built by businesses within the next three years, the company says the challenge of distinguishing legitimate agents from malicious ones must be tackled now. As agent-to-agent interactions become the norm, a system is needed that can provide a standard of trust.

Social mores dictate that religion or politics are taboo topics in polite company, but hearing the other side is an important feature of a healthy society. With so many Americans feeling that democracy itself is under threat and fearing more political violence, talking and listening to each other becomes more critical. Are they willing to engage in dialogue?Americans certainly come from diverse perspectives, but most feel people generally get along. They talk to people with whom they disagree politically, at least on occasion. And despite the potential for divisiveness in discussing politics, most don’t feel their personal relationships have been damaged…

[TOKYO] CHINA hawk Sanae Takaichi won the leadership on Saturday of Japan’s ruling party, putting her on course to become the country’s first woman prime minister.The 64-year-old, whose hero is Margaret Thatcher, is charged with reviving the ailing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) as a new anti-immigration grouping snaps at its heels.The arch-conservative will almost certainly be approved by parliament as Japan’s fifth prime minister in as many years, a step that local media say could come the week of Oct 13.She was elected LDP president on Saturday after winning a run off vote against the telegenic but inexperienced Shinjiro Koizumi,…

China, on the other hand, frequently abandons upper stages in orbit. China launched 21 of the 26 hazardous new rocket bodies over the last 21 months, each averaging more than 4 metric tons (8,800 pounds). Two more came from US launchers, one from Russia, one from India, and one from Iran. This trend is likely to continue as China steps up deployment of two megaconstellations—Guowang and Thousand Sails—with thousands of communications satellites in low-Earth orbit. Launches of these constellations began last year. The Guowang and Thousand Sails satellites are relatively small and likely capable of maneuvering out of the way…

When appointing leaders for AI initiatives, prioritising technical expertise over business acumen leads to strategic discord and projects that fail to deliver valueBOARDROOMS across South-east Asia are noting a frustrating paradox: artificial intelligence (AI) is a top technological priority – Egon Zehnder’s 2025 CIO survey found that chief information officers ranked it second only to cyber risk – yet the return on these substantial investments remain negligible. Despite numerous proof-of-concept initiatives, few are scaling to create real business value.Why does this occur? Many organisations misdiagnose the failures of AI transformation. They often attribute these shortcomings to technological issues or to…

MIAMI — MIAMI (AP) — Jonas Richards became homeless several years ago after losing his job as a truck driver. Despite suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, seeing a doctor hasn’t been a major priority since then.“When you’re homeless, it’s not easy,” Richards said. “You find yourself hustling, trying to keep a little money in your pocket, trying to find something to eat.”But Richards recently had his first visit with doctors from Miami Street Medicine while sitting on a curb outside a homeless shelter.“You get everything done right here very fast,” Richards said. “It was a big help.”Miami Street…
