A slightly different perspective on AI and LLMs

Nix does need root by default, but I use this https://github.com/nix-community/nix-user-chroot on all the Linux boxes I use.

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.

reisub0on Guessing smart phone PINs by monitoring the accelerometer

This was a paper from 2013 though, 7 years ago. I'm sure they've more than made it a proper technology now, with all the compute power and deep learning and what not. Maybe unrelated, but WhatsApp does monitor your phone accelerometer data 100% of the time, even when it's in the background. An app doesn't even need to ask for permission to get access to the accelerometer data, so there's not even a pop up of any sort.
