They're both quite different from the US, but saying they're about the same is both weird and wrong. The Chinese are rebuilding the imperium, which was sometimes good and sometimes quite bad. The Russians...they seem to be in the process of destroying their country. The reports I have heard are now a couple of decades old, but they indicated that they country was largely run by non-government-based gangs.

That's not really true. Consider the ABC proof. It is probably valid, but it uses math that almost nobody who is an English speaker can check. The author is currently translating it into a form that can be read by LEAN (an automated proof-checker). If it passes LEAN, there still won't be many mathematicians who can understand it.

I *think* a lot of those claims are unverified PR announcements by Chinese companies. They *MAY* be correct, but I tend to doubt PR announcements.

So far the evidence seems to indicate that they're still using as many high-level NVidia chips as they can get. I suspect research is being reported as developed systems. If the reports (understood in that light) are accurate, your estimate is correct, but your timeline is off by perhaps 5 years.

Saying 1,0 *is* an integer is false. It converts to an integer. Whether it equals an integer depends on how you represent floats...though in every implemented system I'm aware of 1.0 does convert to 1. However saying 1.0 is within epsilon of 1 is true for every floating point system using a normal meaning of epsilon.

Back in the teens we found a couple of instances where political actors were encouraging people to install screen savers or cryptocurrency wallets that turned their phones into reverse proxies. This was thought to be specifically for the sake of giving hostile foreign operations (read: Russia) access to U.S. domestic politics.

The fact that smart TVs are facilitating this is just ... we're going to need home networks that treat IoT stuff as different than our actual systems.

Oh, wait, TP-Link had well over half the U.S. router market, but they're getting banned over national security concerns?

Maybe there's a market for a router with traffic accounting as a service so one can see what's happening?

This is why the only device in my house with internet is a Roku. I simply will not tolerate the rest of that invasive junk.
