The future will definitely have devices which record visually/verbally all your life. VR headsets are already able to record all your facial expressions. A google glasses like gear which records all your life is pretty much possible in the near future. The future influencers won't have to carry a phone/camera to create vlogs, they would just see wherever they want and the glasses will record not only the thing they a…

After reading The Circle, I'll definitely pass on sharing my whole live online.

A related question, is there a ready solution to do constant recording using some Linux box (e.g. Raspberry PI)? AFAIR I've seen someone recommended such software on HN but I can't find it right now, it was something for recording radio stations or similar. I would like to get some kind of sound monitoring of my house when I'm away or sleeping and besides using arecord I couldn't find anything useful.

An old laptop will work better. Raspberry pis don't have Audio in. You need USB microphone and drivers, which are hit or miss.

Well yeah, but I wonder what software to use for constant recording that could be worked on outside of the recording process.

You should do some self reflection on why you felt the need to make a comment just to make yourself look smart.

I hardly think it made me look smart. It's borderline trivial. The parent comment was insanely reductive in the stadnard HN style. I was hoping to help reduce the appearance of future such comments.

Sibling comments indicate that it had no positive effect. Such is life.

This is known as life logging with adjacency to sousveillance and it’s a fascinating topic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance We in general don’t want to be watched by others, but a managed record of our own activities can be extremely valuable, and even more so if you find yourself wrongly accused.

Little Brother surveillance. It would be nice not to be surveilled at all, but since that's not an option the answer to "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" is us.

> This does not follow from the above Well, I elaborated after. There's an actual finite set of skills that are coded up by actual engineers. A natural language system isn't hallucinating the ABI for the function calls that send text messages. There's code there which takes the utterance and sends the texts. What I'm saying is that you can take an inventory of what skills have been written (and/or are installed), and…

Sure. I didn't take exception with anything except the standard HN middlebrow dismissal.

Since everyone is interested in the hardware:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803085687061.html

the particular choice was for the battery and the other for the size, both are generic and come with the same software and bios, several vendors, if I could buy something better I would look for one that can have a lavalier microphone

In some jurisdictions it’s illegal to record a conversation without all-party consent. Example: https://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-guide/massachusetts...

> The law only applies to secret recordings, however, so affirmative consent is not necessary when all parties are aware of the recording.

Hm. Will a T-shirt with “my phone is recording everything” be enough?

Interesting- secret recording is punished more severely than use of such recording. Logic?

Also, the difference between image and sound recording. Secret image recording in public space is basically ok, while sound recording is not. That probably is caused by a wide availability of photo cameras, with known “fair uses”.

I've been experimenting with this recently as well, but with an app on my apple watch. Looking for a method/model to split different speakers into different tracks to only look at audio from myself and certain people.

we're experimenting building out a version of this too, but on desktop with www.usebacktrack.com - should have splitting speakers/inputs early next year and seeing what that's like
