> (Ok, so obviously the possibilities aren't endless, right?) This does not follow from the above. The set of positive integers is countably infinite. So is the set of positive even integers. Even if "half of the positive integers are missing!" there are still "endless" even postive integers.

By that logic the calculator app has an (effectively) infinite amount of functionality since there is an infinite number of integers which you can add together. Somehow though they still list all the features.

> By that logic

This doesn't follow at all. It's not what I said and I find it difficult to believe that you even think it's what I said.

The passive information would be useful if that would work with your inner voice.

I read a research paper quite some time ago that most inner monologue is articulated at least partially by the mouth, throat, & tongue, and can be detected. Might be a better approach than having a chip in my brain.

If I find the article I will update.

Very interesting idea. Would you be willing to share more info on the tech used in the process? >I bought a couple of Chinese microphones Which exact microphones? How long does their battery last? As well as other parts of the process.

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

As you'd be recording all of your conversations, this is illegal under some legislations, unless all your conversation partners agree with being recorded/their convos being stored.

I am using it with friends and family, and tell them beforehand about the experiment

What about going out to a restaurant, a party, a date, or even somebody you bump into on the street? You're recording a lot of people, which to me is a huge invasion of privacy. What do you do if someone is uncomfortable with being recorded?

the device from the picture has a 5000 mAh battery (around 10hrs), and and bought a smaller one (1-2 hrs)

I must be blind, where do you list the microphone(s) you are using?

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 so…

No. It's not enough to vaguely inform people.

You must get their consent. T-shirts say lots of things that are hyperbole or bluster. Like "official boob inspector" is not generally understood to mean that you're announcing you literally are a licensed doctor.

Dropping after the fact still means it was recorded, this violating two party notice statutes.

Does that mean that every phone recording audio to detect its assistant trigger phrase villages two party notice statutes?

Yes.

I remember an Asimov short story in which scientists developed a machine that could see backward in time. If I recall correctly, the upshot was the government became terrified because any machine that can see 1000 years into the past can also see 1000 milliseconds into the past and therefore functionally be used to spy on anyone in real time.

Different author, but sounds somewhat similar to 'The Light of Other Days' by Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Although iirc correctly it starts with being able to see other locations in space but at the same time, and the historical viewing is a second development. Fantastic book, even if it's not the same one you were thinking of.

Clark also used it as a throwaway line in Childhood's End. IIRC, humans were given a device that would allow them to see the past--most religions didn't survive seeing the true origins of their faith.

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.

Even better is something like the Guardian Project's Haven(https://github.com/guardianproject/haven) which IIRC Snowden contributed to.

It's incredibly cost-effective to just buy an old Android phone (which comes integrated with multiple microphones, with good signal processing and noise cancellation), instead of building it with components.

Haven is specifically designed for intrusion detection, and for preventing people from tampering with your laptop for instance by detecting activity on the Android phone's sensors.
