  • Lack of DOJ TikTok ban enforcement is about not interfering with foreign policy

    I appreciate this piece.  It’s good journalism.

  • How to use Google Translate as the iPhone's default translation app

    I have Google Translate on my phone, but only the Apple Translate app shows up as an option.  I am using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.5.

  • TSMC's US factory shows the limits of reshoring, tariffs, and corporate welfare

    I worked at an engineering and executive level in the semiconductor industry for 35 years.  I knew and worked closely with TSMC experts and executives, including the current co-CEO.  Many of the top TSMC experts worked in US semi companies before Morris Chang recruited them to the US.  Those guys are SMART.

    I don’t want to say that the most advanced chips cannot be made by TSMC in the US, but I can confidently say that it is naive in the extreme to suggest that it can be done quickly or easily here.  Work culture in Taiwan is much different than it is in the US .   Work-life balance does not exist the way we think of it here.  The fabs in Taiwan have bookstores and flower stores, among others, right off the cafeteria.  Why?   So you never have to leave the plant.  Is it your son’s birthday?   Get a present for him at work before you get home at 10 PM.  

    This is a hard truth, like it or not.  Frankly, I am surprised to read that TSMC continues to invest in new factories here.  My fingers are crossed.  I think TSMC will only build easy stuff here, that is to say, technology that is mature enough to only require monitoring in the production line, no innovation required.

  • Apple is lying about Apple Intelligence, John Gruber says -- and he's right

    I have to say that one statement in this article is incorrect. “Apple released an ad promoting Genmoji, but using images that could not possibly be generated by that feature.”  I looked back at that article and tried to create those Genmoji images myself.  I created three of them with very little difficulty, and then stopped. 

    Admittedly, I am using the latest beta version of iOS, but this contradiction leaves me wondering if Gruber, et. al. are being a little shrill.
