- Comment on Software engineering job openings hit five-year low? 23 hours ago:
I mean, if you have the ability to wait out the bubble, you should do so. This genAI ouroboros is going to implode sooner or later. Probably sooner because of all the cascade effects of the protectionist idiocy our government is getting into.

- Comment on Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is already using DeepSeek instead of OpenAI at his startup, Gloo 3 weeks ago:
Gelsinger is infamous in the industry due to his very recent and catastrophic bout of poor management of one of the pillars of American technology. I’m saying that, broadly, I find it comical that any competent engineer would consent to work for him, specifically due to his tenure at Intel. I’m saying I wouldn’t personally work for him or an organization that picked him for leadership, full stop, regardless of which LLM models or frameworks he elects his company to use, or any other technology for that matter.
- Comment on Trump’s reported plans to save TikTok may violate SCOTUS-backed law 3 weeks ago:

In the context of Taiwan themselves, and their desire to remain (in practice) sovereign and territorially independent: nope.
- Comment on South Korea mulls creating 'KSMC' contract chipmaker to compete with TSMC, requires a $13.9 billion investment 1 month ago:
Keep in mind, though, that TSMC is a core part of Taiwan’s strategic defense plans. They’re not likely to sit on their laurels and let another country take their crown away.

- Comment on Calif. Governor vetoes bill requiring opt-out signals for sale of user data 4 months ago:
Not to mention: the government imposes onerous regulations on companies and entire industries all the damn time. Claiming “but it’s harrrrrddddddd :(“ is fucking stupid. This is computer science. Figure it out. We’re not paid as much as we are for our health. It’s because we solve hard problems. It meets the standards with its code or else it gets the hose again.
