I have a Lelit Elizabeth. It’s a dual-boiler machine, so you can pull a shot and steam milk at the same time. If you want consistently good coffee without going too far down the espresso-nerd rabbit hole, it hits a nice sweet spot, especially if you’re into flat whites.

"think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Are the people really thinking? I don't think they are.

Some unsolicited feedback:

I think the appRoute macro obfuscates the types and signatures, and introduces some unnecessary indirection. I would get rid of it.

Related, the AppContext type could be renamed RequestContext or ControllerContext or something as its App + HTTP Request + DB and not just the App.

Otherwise, I agree with other commenters that this is some of the cleanest C code I’ve seen in a while! Great effort!

The fact that we can apparently detect repeatable patterns of brain activity, and do it across a few modalities (handwriting, cursor movements) shows that a lot of the core problems are solved. We’ve achieved Proof of Concept.

With greater sensor fidelity, greater quantity of data, improved ML approaches combined with alternate detection targets (particularly subvocalisation) means that getting to faster than parity WPM seems like a realistic result. Incremental improvements to tech is something we humans are quite good at.
