tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • ~Related detection techniques like non-linear junction detectors already exist and are commercially available
  • ~The approach is clever but seems like obvious engineering that should have existed earlier
  • ↑The technique is genius and offers hope in the privacy cat-and-mouse game
  • ↓Practical concerns about RF interference from LTE/5G limiting the method's effectiveness
  • ~Simpler alternatives like IR camera checks or buffer-based mitigations exist
