We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

@garybernhardt 4 is the best part of all of this

Interesting idea. Had tokens to burn so I got Opus to put it to the test

I have discovered the the BEST way to get 3D modeling results from LLMs

The app LiDAR scans the room while taking hundreds of high quality photos.

Then a workflow + skill I've created models out every item recursively checking the model against the photo at the exact spot + angle where the photo was captured

The result is a a dimensionally accurate and high quality model of your room

All in my latest video on how to do it https://t.co/6fRpe3hd9b

And it’s live! My iPhone Duo review. For seven days and seven nights, I’ve been testing the crap out of this thing—including folding it over 32,000 times with a custom-built folding machine. Go watch!

I often get emails from junior engineers asking me what to do.

Here's what I just wrote to one of them

So many people discovering that the whole Internet is dry tinder and the only thing keeping it from burning is the fact that teenagers haven’t found the matches yet.

I grew up with:
* 14.4k modem
* Doom was new
* Win3.1 was sexy

Today
* I talk to computer and code comes back
* "Hey check my 19 emails and tell me if there is anything I need to respond to and what are my events today?"
* Full self driving cars
* Actual flying cars

WTF

You should be fascinated hitting the power button on your computer.

Every boot on an x86 machine iterates through the entire sequence of computing evolution in a few milliseconds:

Stage 1:
16-bit Real Mode, acts like an 8086 from ~1978. 500ns (ish); about 15-30 instructions. Goal of this stage is to create a writeable stack+heap.

Stage 2:
32-bit Protected Mode, acts like a 386 from ~1985. Tens of millions of instructions; takes forever on DDR5 /w memory training. Temporarily uses L2/L3 “cache-as-ram” to kickstart main ram (Intel calls this NEM).

Stage 3:
64-bit Long Mode, acts like AMD64 from ~2003. Hundreds of millions of instructions; enumerate pcie devices, gpu, bootloader, etc.

Stage 4+:
Secondary core wakeup. Every *single* core has to go through the same process, but by this point it’s faster because Main RAM is warmed up.

Stage 2 is just so neat man. Quite literally the same concept as an APU/cart start. Use the smaller motor (L2/L3) to kickstart the main turbine (Main Ram) and execute the training process.

Is that not just the coolest thing? Next time I’m annoyed waiting at the DDR5 training process, I’m going to imagine it’s spinning up SR71 turbines.

ive been leveraging ai to teach me topics in ways i like to learn

built a memory simulator: pick the hardware, OS (Linux, macOS, Windows) and apps, then watch what happens when you run out of RAM

here: an 11 GB game on a 16 GB machine pushing Photoshop and Slack's idle memory out to swap

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place", I couldn't agree with @daringfireball more. X is the place to be if you genuinely like technology and progress. Just such a delightful optimism here. https://t.co/l8wbyKlvPG

People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising.

Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

@THErealDVORAK Condolences to the family. JCD’s articles were my favorite part of pc magazines of the 90s. A tech icon. RIP

@tweethue the World Cup sync feature worked great. Very cool!
