A personal reflection on using AI: it can make facts, feelings, and reasoning I already have much clearer, but it cannot replace the accumulation of knowledge or the formation of judgment. It can also leave me feeling pushed along by content and an intensified work state.

This paper examines task decomposition, subtask capability classification, model selection, and bounded execution-time fallback, while reducing the broader Agent scheduling problem to an engineering slice of dsh-quota-router.
A position paper based on the author's experience driving AI infrastructure and pilots in a real engineering organization: it proposes four kinds of boundaries—context, responsibility, authorization, and measurement—and offers a falsifiable pilot protocol plus a minimal harness as a demonstration of putting them into practice.
A position paper: functional lines were efficient in an era of highly specialized work; once tools lower skill barriers, organizations should be redesigned around end-to-end business capability. It provides the mechanism, a spectrum of organizational forms, judgment signals, the two Chinese and American starting points, talent needs, and a falsifiable pilot protocol.
An AI beauty decision product for users in China and the U.S.: from a single front-facing photo to explainable makeup suggestions, real products, and tutorials.
