Intuit compressed months of tax code implementation into hours — and built a workflow any regulated-industry team can adapt

When the One Big Beautiful Bill arrived as a 900-page unstructured document — with no standardized schema, no published IRS forms, and a hard shipping deadline — Intuit’s TurboTax team had a question: could AI compress a months-long implementation into days without sacrificing accuracy? What they built to do it is less a tax story than a template, a workflow combining commercial AI tools, a proprietary domain-specific language and a custom unit test framework that any domain-constrained development team can learn from. Joy Shaw, director of tax at Intuit, has spent more than 30 years at the company and lived through both the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the OBBB. “There was a lot of noise in the law itself and we were able to pull out the tax implications, narrow it down to the individual tax provisions, narrow it down to our customers,” Shaw told VentureBeat. “That kind of distillation was really fast using the tools, and then enabled us to start coding even before we got forms and instructions in.” How the …

Mullvad’s New WireGuard Implementation Put to the Test in Latest Audit

Mullvad’s New WireGuard Implementation Put to the Test in Latest Audit

No major vulnerabilities were found in Mullvad’s latest independent security audit, the company said in a blog post on Friday. An audit of Mullvad’s new WireGuard implementation, GotaTun, was conducted by Gothenburg-based Assured Security Consultants between Jan. 19 and Feb. 15, 2026.  The latest audit is Mullvad’s 18th overall since 2017, and further cements the VPN’s position as one of the most transparent in the industry. Among CNET’s top VPN picks, only ExpressVPN has out-audited Mullvad, with 23 audits commissioned since 2018. Specifically, Assured Security Consultants completed a code audit of GotaTun, Mullvad’s implementation of the WireGuard connection protocol, written in Rust. The audit consisted of a source code review and testing of the entire GotaTun implementation, excluding Mullvad’s AI-traffic analysis blocking DAITA code and its command line interface. Although auditors found no major vulnerabilities in the code, they did flag two security issues of low-risk severity.  The first issue had to do with how GotaTun handled session identifier generation. Auditors noted that GotaTun generated the session identifiers through a 24-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register, …

Meloni joins Merz in urging ‘swift implementation’ of EU-Mercosur trade deal – POLITICO

Meloni joins Merz in urging ‘swift implementation’ of EU-Mercosur trade deal – POLITICO

“The question of provisional application was raised by several leaders tonight,” von der Leyen said, adding it was important to push forward the trade pact’s “benefits” as soon as possible. More than 20 ministers from Italy and Germany are meeting today at Rome’s opulent Villa Doria Pamphilj to discuss closer cooperation in areas including security and defense and resilience. Meloni and Merz will also call for “the finalization of agreements with important partners in the Indo-Pacific,” just as EU and India could sign a trade deal next week. In what sounded like a reference to tariff threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, the two leaders will say they “oppose the unilateral use of trade measures as well as the impact of non-market policies disrupting global trade.” Seb Starcevic contributed to this report.
