par··on Samsung CEO Jong-hee Han has died
would love to follow your progress if you're going to be publicly blogging it (would be ironic, i know.) Also, really sorry for your loss. Was it the palisades fire?
par··on TSMC expected to announce $100B investment in U.S.
or a fourth perspective, you're undermining the importance of TSMC production/output, and the US would indeed go to war over it.
par··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
It's not even just Apple. All the major tech software I use feels like it has significant regressions on the daily. It's super frustrating.
par··on Solitaire
Reading this makes me sad actually, because I grew up on windows machines (starting with windows 3.1) and have so many memories of Solitaire that came shipped with windows. The deck variations, the little and big effects (like winning!) I played it so much as a grade schooler. Now that mac is so ubiquitous, most kids wont ever know the simple pleasure of playing solitaire.

par··on Anime is eating the world
Honestly I feel a16z as a 'tech vc' firm is just getting weird now. It's like they're trying to be the de facto flag bearer for like weird crypto otaku types. And I say this as someone who has loved anime since the 90s, I don't think I want a16z getting their mits into my special interests. To see them talking about 'waifus' is just weird.

par··on Five-Disk Floppy RAID: 4MB of Blistering Fast Storage (2009)
Really miss stuff like this from back in the early computing days. One time we used MS Backup to copy Warcraft 1 from my friends computer to my own. Took like 80 floppy disks!
par··on Gemini AI
Just some basic tests, it's decent but not as good as gpt3.5 or 4 yet. For instance, I asked it to generate a web page, which GPT does great everytime, and Gemini didn't even provide a full working body of code.

par··on The product manager role is a mistake
> An organization must be smart enough to let that people grow and thrive.

Agree 100%, but this is where I've seen a lot of organizations fail, especially large ones.

par··on The product manager role is a mistake
This article gets it wrong imho, it seems to think the problem is the caliber of the people, rather than the setup of the organization. In my 20 years of experience I've observed most people are willing and ready to push themselves to great heights. But the setup of most organizations doesn't support such levels of independence or freedom of operation. Also a big reason why so many people are drawn to startups.
par··on Tesla Model X Owner Has Had Enough of Minimalism, Adds Physical Buttons
Nothing makes me more upset, as a builder/tinkerer, is when I spend money on a expensive/luxury technical product that I have to iterate on to make it acceptable for basic functions.
