Trump Accuses Other Countries of Making Silicon Valley the ‘Piggy Bank’ of the World

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-01 12:35:46

Tariff-obsessed President Donald Trump is threatening to slap even more tariffs and restrictions on chip exports against countries that implement a digital services tax. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said on Monday that these taxes are “designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology” while giving a “complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies.” A digital services tax is a tax on the revenues that large companies, like Google or Meta, earn from providing digital services.

Cornell's world-first 'microwave brain' computes differently

news.ycombinator.com Cornell University 2025-11-05 04:03:53

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified chip is analog rather than digital, yet can process ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously. We are so used to thinking of computers as digital machines running on binary code that it's easy to forget that these are only one type of computer. In fact, both historically and today, many devices that we can classify as computers are analog in functi

Why Paradigm built a spreadsheet with an AI agent in every cell

Anna Monaco has been building AI agents since before the term “AI agents” was even a thing. After building numerous chatbots, she started looking for other types of interfaces that made sense for AI agents and landed on spreadsheets. “I had this personal pattern, and I noticed that a lot of other people had this pattern, of putting very important CRM data in spreadsheets just because it was the most flexible thing,” Monaco told TechCrunch. “But it was actually a pain to maintain.

So what's the difference between plotted and printed artwork?

Pen plotters are somewhat like 3D printers. They move in X/Y space and typically have a pen lift mechanism. Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass. Printers (we'll focus on inkjet for this article) blast tiny ink particles into paper and can seamlessly mix them to create a range of visually distinct hues and tones. In the art world, they're commonly used to make Giclée prints, which are essen

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Better Than We Ever Dreamed Possible

When the idea was first floated of bringing the iconic Alien franchise to TV, many were skeptical. Films such as Ridley Scott’s 1979 original and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel are all-time classics. Follow-ups, like David Fincher’s 1992 film and Scott’s 2012 return, were also noteworthy for their own reasons. Alien just felt like a franchise that had been very well-explored already and could only be damaged in translation to a different medium. Well, I am elated to report that any skeptics, mysel
