P.S. I really hope journos can stop calling me Ye. A few people have already mentioned to me they kept reading it confused that it's an interview with Kanye.

Here's a fun fact about percentages. When there's a % decrease, you need a larger % increase to recover. E.g. _100 to 75 is a 25% decrease. _75 to 100 is a 33% increase.

I met @DurvidImel, @hayatohuseman and @timmcmahonn for the first time in person yesterday. Felt like we'd met already, then I remembered they're very familiar with cardboard Shen. The whole of @TheStudio is.

Whether it's this or SteamDeck using different fans: Fun fact, most hardware companies have a hard rule to have a second source for EVERYTHING (except some key parts like CPU/GPU).

Turns out Google is using flash storage from different vendors for the Pixel 7 (Pro) - and they make a pretty substantial difference in storage speeds. Follow me down the 🧵

With the chess cheating scandal it does make you wonder if tech keeps miniaturising, cheating at chess, poker, and more could be done through almost undetectable implants one day.

Still sad Google killed Google Trips. It was honestly the best travel itinerary manager, and was actually free.

A friend invited me to come play with concrete. I made an origami spiky icosahedron as a mould. Can't believe how well it turned out.

At 6GHz, the speed of light means signals can't travel further than 5cm/2" between each cycle (& electrons travel slower than light) That's kinda insane if you think about it. You're hitting a limit where speed is gonna be limited by the size of your chip.

We released our eye and facial tracker today for Focus 3, so you can go full🤪in VR. It was the 2nd project where I played around with Blender to make internal materials, this time to explain how easy it was to install. No fiddling around with straps or cable management

We put a ton of work on this. The best thing about this design is it doesn't decrease the max glasses size we support AND we maintain IPD adjustment

The design of these and especially how eye tracking gasket attaches to the HMD is A+ I am super impressed. Well done, HTC Vive

You know what would be a cool AI camera feature? Detection of window reflection and removal when you take a photo from inside a building
