An incongruent scene of cheers, applause and smiles at the NASDAQ closing bell where the theme was the Chinese New Year on a day the tech-rich index tanked 3% due to worries China's AI startup DeepSeek has leapfrogged US competitors.

We shouldn’t be surprised by the DeepSeak leapfrog. It is the natural consequence of the constraints the United States has put on China in conjunction with the creativity of the Chinese operating within those constraints. Steve Jobs often said that constraint drives creativity, and I think this is an example. Sounds like developers in the United States will just have to roll up their sleeves and I suspect they will. And so it goes.
