1. Okay, and this is somehow better than, say, Uber, making approx -500 million a year every year for a decade and a half. 2. Firing people isn't what this is about? Or you blind or just dishonest? The only action DOGE has taken has been firing people. That's literally the only thing they've done! Not only is firing people "all this is about", it's all it could possibly be about! 4. No, there was MANY before. MANY of…

1. In the long run Uber won't exist if they cannot optimize. In fact Uber is a great example. they turned multi billion profit in 2024 after years of optimization. 2. Firing people in large groups is definitely part of it. Not firing individuals. That is what you originally said. 4. Considering the real impact DOGE has already made in the few weeks it has existed I think we can at least conclude they weren't doing th…

Even if you believe the government is inefficient - which is just that, a belief - you can’t support DOGE.

Again, they’ve fired people at the office of government accountability, which are the inspectors who literally ensure tax dollars aren’t wasted.

That’s not me “hating musk”. That’s the reality of what’s happening. Following that, we must admit DOGE has no plans to save anyone any money.

Their goal is LESS accountability, not more. Government spending will only go UP.

If you read Project 2025 you would know the explicit goal of this is to cripple bureaucracy so that that power can be concentrated in the president. Not “save money”. Come on now.

EDA companies have limited exposure to the inner workings of the fabless semi giants (Broadcom, Qualcomm, AMD). They have even less exposure to running a fab service for fabless companies.

EDA tool vendors have to work extremely closely with both fabless firms and fabs forever to tune their products to deal the ever increasing complexity of nanometer scale manufacturing processes. Backside power delivery? You bet your ass that the tools folks were involved in making that work well for designers. Gate-All-Around? Probably needed the tool vendors to make tweaks based on feedback from the fabs. The import…

Yes. There is an ever increasing amount of complicated design rules for modern processes and EDA tools have to model all of them for automated layout.

A few years after the first battle over Taiwan has taken place. There has been news about Broadcom and NVidia testing their designs on Intel process nodes. Which is arguably worse in at least two respects, they are behind TSMC in density and also proprietary software tooling at Intel. After the 13000/14000 CPU chip death issues possibly also in regard to reliability. But they still want to do it. Although this page i…

It makes sense to invest in second and third sources, even if it does mean handing money to a competitor. Especially given the instability of the global community right now.
