Thinking of starting a community for people who want to learn hardware, work in hardware, or just enjoy tinkering with things in general. Reply to the tweet if you want in.

I honestly believe we’re entering one of the most exciting times to be a developer! AI, XR, new hardware, and tools that keep getting better. There are so many possibilities ahead of us. Keep creating! 🚀🕶️

I've taken matters into my own hands with @Apple's Metal. 🔥 I'm building my own custom Metal kernel for TensorFold, starting with 4-bit inference on M5. It'll set me back a little while I get this built and tested properly, but what I've achieved locally with (mlx_tf) already feels like a real breakthrough. The M3 Ultra has 819 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The M5 Ultra has 1.2 TB/s. I look at that hardware and think there's still a lot more decode performance to unlock. Why should the Sparks have all the fun... Watch this space 👀

I love this! What a cool idea
“I’ve never felt such a strong sense of presence in mixed reality.” A sentiment echoed by nearly 100 people who’ve tried Sphenomenon. I built a hands-on playground for creators to feel why the physical world is the ultimate foundation for tomorrow’s augmented interfaces. #astra @OpenAI

Working on some crazy new environments for the Apple Vision Pro… can’t wait any longer for Apple to release any.. this is running on the m2 Apple Vision Pro. I’ll give TestFlight invites soon…. Guess what location this environment is.

To everyone building VR/MR experiences right now, keep going! The experiments and ideas you’re working on today could shape how millions of people experience this technology tomorrow.

Nope. Never. VR is the future of human communication and leisure, and we at @SomniumSpace will revolutionize it soon even further.
I am begging people working in VR to leave to an industry like robotics. I spent 10 years of my life in VR getting kicked in the face. The first startup I did outside of VR was successful. Talented people in VR, stuck there due to a cult like reverence for what could have been.

Entrepreneurs get people to change their beliefs about how the world works. I will keep bringing you VR. Someday the magic gets good enough to convince everyone. But it sure is hard to do that today. So not for everyone. Artur is one of those who keeps trying to change reality. I love him for that.

Hey @johnternus hope this gets through your filter. Microsoft did something stupid like this when I worked there. Steve Ballmer apologized to the company and fixed the problem. He got my loyalty by doing so. Hope you can pull inspiration to fix this problem from his leadership.
If you have an Apple developer account or an app in the App Store, read this now and share it. Apple rejects your app. The notice is vague, so you fix what you reasonably think is wrong and resubmit. Apple approves it. Months later, with nothing in review, Apple terminates your account under 3.2(f) for “a pattern of manipulative or misleading behavior.” Every app gone. No explanation of what you did. Your crime? Trusting the approval. Apple’s own reviewer looked at your fix, with your rejection history in front of them, and said yes. Then Apple turned that yes into evidence against you. So who’s misleading whom? I ran App Review for seven years and wrote the guidelines. 3.2(f) used to mean real fraud. Now it’s being used against developers who did exactly what Apple approved. I’ve made this Substack post free for everyone. Every developer needs to see it before this happens to them. Share it before someone you know gets that email. phillipshoemaker.substack.co…

I spent 18 months building apps as a solo developer. This was my only source of income. I’m from a tier-3 country and this was the only realistic way I had to make a living. Today Apple auto-terminated my entire developer account with a bot under 3.2(f). They flagged it because of old rejections from 8 months ago. No human reviewed it. No warning. No call. All my apps were removed. Payouts frozen. Everything gone overnight. #apple @apple @AppleSupport

24 months from start to acquisition by AMD. $8+ billion. When I was among the first to tell you about world models I had no idea it would go so fast. Congrats @theworldlabs. Insane week and it still is Monday. Tomorrow will we get to see OpenAI’s secret hardware project? It says it has 20 launches. San Francisco has multiple gold rushes on at the same time. AI, robotics, holodecks/metaverses. With another on the way (brain computer interfaces).

Replying to @macmixing
Still using my 16 Pro Max. I don’t use a case or screen protector. Dropped this phone a few times. On concrete, tile, a granite countertop… still no scratches or cracks on the screen or even the phone itself. iPhones were made to be used without screen protectors/bulky cases.

Apple's hardware boss says seeing people put screen protectors on their iPhones makes his "skin crawl" The company says it works hard to make its displays durable enough without them

Huge congrats to Kimi on a very impressive race! P2 today is not the result I wanted and would’ve loved to continue the fight before the VSC but still some solid points for us. Thanks to the team for a great car.

confused as to why people are calling me bold for naming a fund doing bad practice what have we come to? is the fear that other bad practice funds won’t invest in you? that sounds like a good thing to me

Usually, but it depends! There are legit funds that can't get sub-lines because of LP concentration.
