Tan looks like Pat. Amazing.
Tan is much taller apparently.

Why is that?
I agree with grandparent commenter that it's shocking a lot of people (also here) think DOGE is a serious endeavour and not some slapstick bunch of people. The realization is that even in here, plenty of people's emotions cloud their ability to think.

In my experience the highly intelligent are simply more able to find and generate rationalizations and justifications.
It's similar to a science-believing schizophrenic, their brain finds physically possible but implausible ways to deceive them. This split demonstrates that intelligence and being grounded in reality are two orthogonal psychological phenomenon. Being grounded in reality is simply the ability to be open to being wrong. That's largely independent of being smart.

#55This author has a very interesting mail list on the semiconductor industry, and kind of predicted the new CEO:

The current CEO was supposed to be a down to earth, technical, no bureaucracy guy as well.
> The current CEO was supposed to be a down to earth, technical, no bureaucracy guy as well. Turning a ship the size of Intel is a super power in it's own right. Especially one with such a large entrenched bureaucracy as Intel has. Politics aside for a moment - we're seeing the death bellows of many large, entrenched bureaucracies right now with DOGE - the main difference is the fight is in full public view instead o…
It’s a well written comment. Just because you disagree is no reason to downvote a well written comment.

Re: Intel appoints Lip-Bu Tan as its CEO
#58Sounds like the guy to trim Intel to be sold in in parts. Intel engineers: thank you for these amazing machines, for all these years. They shaped many lives. We salute you.
What?
He's led Cadence for many years. You know, making tools to design silicone.
As a former Cadence employee, I really don't have any complains about his leadership, looking back at my time there.
He's been on Intel's board for a long time too.
I have no idea where you'd get that impression, so please elaborate.

#59What does he bring over Pat or Michelle?
That's what I'm trying to understand. His educational background was in Physics/Nuclear Engineering so he's obviously a smart guy, and he was CEO/Chairman of Cadence for 15 years, but other than that his 40+ year career has most been in VC and being on the boards of an incredibly large number of companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip-Bu_Tan https://www.linkedin.com/in/lip-bu-tan-284a7846/details/expe...
>he was CEO/Chairman of Cadence for 15 years, but other than that
Oh, so he's only been leading one of the handful of companies making the full software suite for all stages of silicon design and simulation for 15 years, no biggie.
You're aware what kind of company Cadence is, are you?

I feel Intel is in a similar situation as IBM in the 90s when Gerstner came in. You don't necessarily need a super technical CEO but somebody who is forceful enough to see through his initiatives. Not sure if the new guy is that type though.
