Srouji didn’t read a teleprompter (appears anyway he looked at the camera dead on the entire time).

protype motherboards left & right and he walks in like-a-boss!

sugar is the apple silcon and he the daddy delivering the goods ;)
Err....do you know how teleprompters work? They are screens that sit over the camera lens with a projector (often at 90 degrees to the camera lens) and reflected onto a half-mirror over the lens so that the subject looks directly at the lens and the teleprompter screen.

Here is a basic one that uses a mobile phone:

Thing is, Moore’s Law doesn’t really depend on physics, but instead on human ingenuity. The thing that propels it is that every couple of years humans figure out some way to double the number of transistors they can squeeze together into a processor. Sometimes it’s lithography advances. Sometimes it’s metallurgic advances. Sometimes it’s semiconductor engineering. Sometimes it’s materials science.

But you are describing physics limitations that humans overcome through ingenuity.

I know how they work and that is just one of them.

If you look a John Ternus' speech you can see he's reading using his right eye, as well as others. Srouji you cannot tell at all. Maybe his field of focus is unnoticeable.

It's definitely a skill to read from a teleprompter without obviously "scanning" with your eyes.

Using a local focal length lens and placing the subject further away from the camera also helps hide any eye movement. Maybe John Ternus was closer to the camera or less experience with the teleprompter?
