> In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet.[7] Two years later, it joined a consortium, which included Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) it operates under is funded by the US government, licensing must be approved by Congress.[14] Furthermore, in return for being permitted to join this consortium, ASML committed to the establishment of a US-based research center and to source 55 percent of components for all machines sold in the US from American suppliers.[7] ASML collaborated with various manufacturers to obtain mirrors, including the Belgian firms IMEC and Sematech as well as Germany's Carl Zeiss.[14][15]
Nobody said that. That is a strawman
So the point is even with govt subsidies and a generous oil industry, Norway ranks below all US states.
> No one would willingly live in Mississippi over France or Italy.
Have you seen parts of Paris? Not all parts of Mississippi are bad.
Won't that also help grep and then move the asymptote down more?
> The article doesn't mention this, of course, but Meta prohibits "socially sensitive" advertising due to the EU's TTPA law, or "Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising." It imposes substantial bureaucratic compliance burden on advertising platforms to accept ads that deal with political issues. Meta decided that the revenue wasn't worth the compliance burden, so they do not accept any political advertising at all. They filter anything that smells like political or social issues, whether it be a campaign about anti-immigration or a play about feminism, because if they accept it they will get heavily fined by the EU. This is why Meta does not ban this advertising outside of the EU. It's a EU regulatory problem. The Register does not mention this anywhere in the article. reply

Part of intelligence is knowing your audience and communicating efficiently.
Wow, Europeans do have a penchant for recursively banning things :)
The poor altruistic AI companies like OpenAI will unleash math understanding and theorems for free for humanity!
Any of that done unattributed is plagiarism.
Either OpenAI is incompetent or evil if they can't publicly prove the allegations wrong. Or even at least state categorically they didn't train on their conversations (even without proof).
Apparently, we have AGI that can solve Millennium Prize problems but can't trace simple data flows lol.
They all consider China to be the aggressor because they are. E.g., Tibet or India.
