  • I guess there is some, but not too much valuable content in spoken personal conversations. Current tech is not there yet, so it would be more costly in money and reputation to build some datacenters for this yet. If the money cost would go order of magnitudes lower they would wrap it in some marketing bullshit like “you can search in your all memories”, lot of people would gladly allow it (iirc there was a black mirror episode about a device like this)

    I think it won’t happen tomorrow or in the near future, my point was they just reposted a 6 years old article without writing about a new and relelevant development in the topic.


  • An earlier version of this article was published in 2019.

    While the content of the article is true, and I had to explain it to other people on the internet and irl multiple times in the last decade, the article doesn’t write about the new TPU chips nowadays appearing in devices. With them full on-device STT will become more and more possible, so the tests mentioned in the article won’t detect eavesdropping, as they won’t need to send sound files to datacenters, only the transcript.

    It would have been useful if they wrote about this new vector in the article, as TPUs were not that common in 2019.

    This is not a well written arricle. They mixes up material design with corporate memphis, which is not necessarily related, they can exist independently.

    Their actual problem with google’s ux appears only in this paragraph:

    The problem? Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible. Whether mass-market or enterprise, web or mobile, its interfaces are chaotic and confusing. Every time I use Google Drive or the G Suite admin console, I feel lost. Neither experience nor intuition helps—I feel like an old man seeing a computer for the first time. I used Android for years (stock Android on a Nexus device), yet even after all that time, I struggled to distinguish buttons from plain text.

    No examples, no reasoning, no good counter examples how it should be done, nothing. I’m not super familiar with google’s web ux as I only use search and youtube ocasionally. They write here about android, but no android screenshots in the article. So is this about web ux only? Or anything google? The author couldn’t even figure out what is their problem, this article sounds like “old man yells at cloud”



  • They tried to place them as far from villages as possible for the first one. You can see in the video, the guy had to bike to the middle of nowhere to record it. The problem first appeared in countrywide news after the 3rd one, because that’s much more closer to some residential buildings.

    Hungary is not a classic democracy, if you are not a friend of a local oligarch you can’t really do anything about things like this. If they decided about it at the HQ it will happen whatever it takes.

    I think the original concept is not inherently bad, you just need careful planning and sound simulations. Current tech can simulate sound waves very precisely. Maybe such a small country doesnt need 3 of these, they should have stopped after the 1st or 2nd one






  • It doesn’t sound as zero-installation as you wrote in other comments.

    At this point I could just install wireguard on the server and use whatever filesharing protocol I want. As I do now, but I think I’m not your target audience anyway.

    If I would use your server, than it wouldn’t be really p2p.
