Wow, keyboard-free programming. It sounds both incredibly interesting and a little frightening. I'd hate to think of the kinds of metrics that might be applied to professional programmers.

#12I think free software really matters here. I really do not want companies storing the information from a BMI on their servers and I would actually take the time to audit any software to be certain of this. Free software is a good enough requirement for read-only devices, but I would never use a read-write device that was not also formally verified. This is one of those things where "move fast and break things" means…

#16But I don’t believe that Elon Musk’s Neuralink will ever offer anything of value to a non-disabled person. I only hope that in their attempts they create better interfaces for disabled people. Perhaps even get people waking again. For people who can already walk and use a mobile phone I doubt a brain implant will be much use. It’s hard to beat eyes and ears for getting information in.

Do I need to think of 260 different keys? Gonna take a while to practise that, and I feel like there is a separte mechanics processor to my core processing motor, so I can think and type at the same time; how do I make sure it’s the other one that brain-types?
