In real-world software engineering tasks like SWE-Bench, Qwen3-Coder must engage in multi-turn interaction with the environment, involving planning, using tools, receiving feedback, and making decisions. In the post-training phase of Qwen3-Coder, we introduced long-horizon RL (Agent RL) to encourage the model to solve real-world tasks through multi-turn interactions using tools. The key challenge of Agent RL lies in environment scaling. To address this, we built a scalable system capable of running 20,000 independent environments in parallel, leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s infrastructure. The infrastructure provides the necessary feedback for large-scale reinforcement learning and supports evaluation at scale. As a result, Qwen3-Coder achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models on SWE-Bench Verified without test-time scaling.

Rights groups such as Article 19 believe that the ID will give intelligence services access to data without restrictions or transparency. Mexico’s national security agencies, such as the National Intelligence Centre and the National Guard, are among the government bodies that will gain access to the biometric data.

The government says that the misuse of sensitive data, including biometrics, is regulated by existing data privacy laws.

After first suggesting that users make modifications to or simply unplug SharePoint server programs from the internet, the company on Sunday evening released a patch for one version of the software. Two other versions remain vulnerable and Microsoft said it is continuing to work to develop a patch. The company declined to comment further.

the ability to freeze or rollback transactions and surveil centrally-managed stablecoins makes them indistinguishable from a CBDC.

The GENIUS bill was amended in March to include stricter anti-money-laundering provisions, sanctions compliance, and know-your-customer requirements, necessitating financial surveillance and the ability to censor transactions.

what if we could separate the "intent to change" from the "confirmation of the change"? What if we could log our intentions quickly and asynchronously, then confirm completion separately?

the assumption that I/O must be synchronous to have durable database storage, turned out to be wrong. The hardware was always parallel--we just needed software architectures that could take advantage of it.

such partnerships only succeed when cooperation between private firms and public law enforcement exists.

“The challenge now is formalizing that relationship in a way that maintains accountability and effectiveness,”

John Henry's prowess as a steel driver was measured in a race against a steam-powered rock drill, a race that he won only to die in victory with a hammer in hand as his heart gave out from stress.

"If someone uploads your paper to Claude or ChatGPT and you get a negative review, that's essentially an algorithm having very strong negative consequences on your career and productivity as an academic," he explained. "You need to publish to keep doing your work. And so trying to prevent this bad behavior, there's a self-defense component to that."

hard assets without sovereign liability – it might make sense to get some just in case

A person who participated in the ceremony even though his faith was incomplete “blesses himself in his heart” (יתברך בלבבו) and was damned, as “his spirit shall be destroyed without pardon”, “all the curses of this covenant shall cling to him, and God will set him apart for evil. He shall be cut off from the midst of all the Sons of Light” (1QS II, 11–18), curses that would terrify and deter any member who was not completely sure of the purity of his thoughts. A member of the yaḥad who refused to participate in the ceremony was considered one who “refuses to enter the covenant of God” (מואס לבוא בברית אל), was immediately expelled from the sect and his sentence was decreed: “unclean! unclean! shall he be” all the days of his life, “he shall neither be purified by atonement, nor cleansed by purifying waters, nor sanctified by seas and rivers…” (1QS II, 26–III, 6). This description is consistent with Josephus’ description (J.W. 2.8.8) of the Essenes who were expelled from their communities and wandered the land, miserable and humiliated.
