Should it say "No spoofing" rather than "No spooking"?

Ok, so none. That wasn’t so difficult was it?

"For posterity"? What is the cultural significance of this tool that would require it?

I get what you (intended to) mean, but living within your means doesn’t leave anything to invest - you just don’t have a growing mountain of debt.

Odd choice of name. “Pila” means “battery” in a couple of languages, but refers to small disposable types (AA, AAA etc.), not something you’d associate with a UPS.

When I commented on the unnatural cadence, it told me that it had been trained on podcasts, which does help explain the issue - some people tend to “live-edit” themselves when a conversation is being recorded, which leads to this staccato.

I'd forgotten about that. I liked the idea and contributed on KickStarter, but it never matured to the point that I felt comfortable using it. I see the website is still up, albeit dated 2014!

Nice idea. Just some nitpicks: "Visit QR code to:" – You don't "visit" a QR code. Perhaps "Scan the QR code to:"? (Optional grammar fix included.) "Comment on the QR code" – "Leave a comment

And yet the article has since been edited to remove both the sentence I quoted, and your rebuttal (whatever that was supposed to mean). Clearly they knew it was wrong. I'll take your downvote with pride.

I was a little surprise to read that they're using speech-to-text and text-to-speech rather than an end-to-end speech model. Won't that horrible latency? (I guess the old-person persona disguises it a little...)

Perhaps just post without justification of it's allowed? (Imagine if every valid post had to follow with why they think it's okay to post...)
