What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away. Who is approving such inefficient code and duct tape masquerading as "speed increases" in Windows? 😅 https://t.co/JT5KENYoJS

Microsoft is testing a change to File Explorer on Windows 11 that will automatically run it in the background to make launching the app faster.

Meta's launch of RayBan Display is a great step forward for the AR industry. It's interesting to see their alignment with some of our early design decisions. Raven Glass is opening soon to developers with onboard 64-bit ARM compute and root access. If you want to build apps that

Hardware Memory is the choke point slowing down GenAI. ~2018–2022, transformer model size grew ~410× every 2 years, while memory per accelerator grew only about 2× every 2 years. And that mismatch shoves us into a “memory-limited” world. The "memory wall" is creating all the

Came across a Project Tango tablet in one of my miscellaneous hardware boxes. This was a really neat device and development platform that pre-dated ARKit & ARCore. https://t.co/1clXJml3Zc

This trend of Orwellian wearable AI devices that consistently record and stream without third-party consent (or at least awareness) is a dystopian nightmare. Outside of the SV bubble you won’t find many people who are okay with this, and for good reason: private conversations

My worst investment passes always sound the same in hindsight: “The team is incredible… I just wasn’t sure about the market.” Spoiler: The team figured it out.

So happy for my Figma friends today! I met @zoink via Twitter DM (!) in 2009 (!!) as a beta tester for an app I made (!!!). Dylan inspires me so much; it's so satisfying to see him create an amazing product, technology, & company, while being such a kind and thoughtful person.

Professionals don't use FFmpeg and FFprobe. They use extremely expensive software that runs FFmpeg inside (and that vendor contributes nothing back)

Throwback to 2013 - a very early smart glasses prototype with parts I could get my hands on as a 14 y/o maker. Grateful to be leading a team now in 2025 where we have the technology to make stylish AR glasses happen. Looking forward to launching what we've been building, which

While chording keyboards aren't likely to be adopted by the mass market, there are elements of the experience that do carry forward into novel input methods for more people. I'm particularly excited by some of the ones we've been prototyping internally. Curious to hear if
