Same for me! Didn't even notice any weird phrasing (the tweet got immensely popular though, so nitpickers inevitably arrived). It was also nice to know people are working on getting non-invasive neurotech into the mainstream - very exciting
How to break into it as I have many ideas Id love to see if they are any good. Are there bootcamps to quickly learn development and around other fellow other eager developers? Im a web designer who uses basic code (html/css/jQuery) to design.
Would love to chat. Can you drop me an email? $HN_username at gmail
I'm more concerned with ad tech that's already out there and having massive impacts on society.
I would only be surprised of this outcome on no -Apple posts. It's quite clear there is mass adoration (or cult following, you judge?) of Apple on HN
The weird phrasing in the tweet is because I can't talk about any of the work I did due to NDA's besides my job description and those patents. But I had a pretty unusual role all things considered. I was also trying to clarify in the tweet that these aren't meant to be interpreted as unannounced existing features or capabilities of the product. But rather, research I did and contributed to, that was made public through patents.
There's a ton of interesting preexisting research literature about neurotechnology research for VR. Both in terms of using it for biofeedback, and using it as a device just for studying the brain. If that sounds interesting browse through what's out there via google scholar.
Also I said I spent 10% of my life working on it, realizing that was a goofy way of putting it. But it's a standout thing in my life and it was mostly a self reflection on what a trip being alive is, not trying to brag about it, mostly just sharing what I did. It's an unusual product and I had an unusual role
Anyway it's a cool device and hopefully people enjoy it.
