@gzrrt @pineapple Yeah - ideally, any voice control processing or recordings should never leave the device it's used on. At worst, the local network.

It's so annoying that the tech for voice recognition became usable before mobile processing power caught up but after mobile bandwidth was enough to offload the processing to someone else's computer.

@science Oh cool, at least one of the paper's authors is on the fediverse and has posted an infographic on the analysis:

Paleontologists investigate whether T. rex and other predatory #dinosaurs had lips like lizards, or protruding teeth like crocodiles (though as the article notes, pop culture has latched onto the latter).

Improving Urban Tree Cover to Counteract Heat Islands

We know trees can reduce the urban heat island effect. A Nature Conservancy project is combining data on current tree coverage, heat, health, income, energy sources and more to determine where planting new trees would most help the communities currently most affected by the problem.

(The article's in the context of Google's role in the data analysis & visualization.)
