I can barely stand getting my hands off the keyboard to grab the mouse - lifting them off the keyboard to touch the screen is not something I’d ever use

In fact, I do everything I can to avoid having to move my hands off the keyboard - I have a stream deck that touches my keyboard so that I can quickly press a button with my hand barely moving for “advanced” shortcuts that I don’t feel like contorting my hand for, on top of all the usual shortcuts

I wish they’d devote resources to figuring out a better keyboard experience vs this also ran feature that I know for a fact almost no one uses

I thought for sure you’d be exaggerating or just being sensationalist

Much to my dismay this is real

I just looked this up and all I can say is wow. Legit reminds me of some of the stuff I read about as a kid about the Cold War, communism, etc

Wild that this stuff doesn’t even make the news anymore

These were cool back when you could also use them as monitors - outside of that, I’d rather have a laptop and a nice monitor - way better bang for your buck imo

The Bay Area are the biggest hypocrites in the planet

They know how to present themselves in a way that not only they appear liberal, but appear liberal under scrutiny

They are rolling out versions of this but doing it in poor neighborhoods of course - heaven forbid they roll anything like this out in the Berkeley hills

Obviously im over generalizing for dramatic effect, but if this stuff can get passed in the Bay Area, I hold little hope we will successfully challenge it elsewhere

According to deflock there's cameras in the berkely hills already, in particular on the grizzley peak and shasta road intersection. It's all over the bay area.

What you are describing IS in fact Liberalism.

In interviews I sort of bit the bullet and do pair ai coding interviews - you just have to change with the times

My guess based on my experience as a math major is that they just stop giving homework and the in class tests become more rigorous (can’t imagine how much harder they could have made these at my school at least)

My point is that no matter what tool you’re using, at some point you have to stretch your brain and the exams/screenings/etc just haven’t caught up to how to stretch someone’s brain in this new world and I’ve found just embracing the thing to be a better approach than any sort of pearl clutching

It’s called out in the macrumors article linked in the submission fyi

For all the apologists and people saying it’s not a big deal:

The problem is that this is the entry point to do more nefarious things later

Companies love to boil the frog - introduce something and later jack up the price or take something else away or something like that

I at least am always weary of new stuff like this

Yes, the most grounded take I’ve read on HN so far

How I wish I could divulge details of what we’ve built, nay, shipped in the last 6 months - it would sound completely unbelievable to this audience and come with a host of accusations

But it’s true - the tide hasn’t risen all ships the same though. Some engineers have become absolute monsters - things that used to take a month get done in days. Features that used to be prioritized on the order of weeks are done way faster.

Some engineers though? Even high performance ones have gone productive to bottom 25% by some measures

Why? Because it is a skill and it doesn’t come naturally to everyone

So many may sayers everywhere talking about more code less software, mistakes by ai with disastrous consequences- yet I’ve seen some remarkable stuff with my own two eyes. It’s a crazy time to be in this business, it’s awesome to be wowed everyday by what someone was able to do

I'll tell you what i wouldn't get - if you have an asus router, i'd steer clear of merlin

They leave a bunch of data sharing options built in and on by default with no warning, acknowledgement, etc and I suspect it's why asus lets the project continue to run
