American big tech companies pay very few taxes, compared to European standards. This is part of what makes it difficult to compete with them.

Everyone in Europe is saying that the CCP is illegally subsidizing EVs and solar panels to conquer the European market, and that we need to protect from them by imposing tariffs: but if you think about it, this isn't too different from what America is doing with tech.

Same as what happened to "crypto", unfortunately. It's now hard to explain people that Bruce Schneier isn't in the same field as Sam Bankman-Fried, which is a shame.

> IoT and anything that cannot receive time updates have trouble with leap seconds.

Could you make an example application where it could be an issue? I imagine it would have to be an appliance that needs high precision time, is not connected to the internet, and hence it has an internal clock that is accurate over long times.

It might actually be the other way round: Fortran adopted the convention that i,j,k are integer variables because that was the standard in maths.

Much better security. Sandboxing and app isolation actually works on Android.

So a fair headline would be "OpenAI tried formalizing more of their proofs, and found 33% of them had a mistake".

No. They have a new upper bound for matrix multiplication, but it's O(n^2.25). You can't do less than n^2 for obvious reasons (size of the input and output).
