Other laptops have this too. Linux has a driver for it.

The sensor angle would be in a file like `/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device*/in_angl0_raw` (device number can vary). At least I have this in a config file and remember it working (maybe on a different computer?). I cannot get it to work anymore on my laptop.

The part about low-pass filtering using FFT ends with the conclusion that it is fundamentally a different thing from a gaussian blur ("Low Pass Filter ≠ Low Pass Filter"). However: A convolution in image space is just a multiplication in fourier space. If you multiplied with a gaussian in fourier space you should get a gaussian blur. It's just not necessarily the fastest option.

I am not surprised that the sentence existed once. But "Wikipedia once said this during the time August 2024-Februrary 2025" is not the same as "Source: Wikipedia" because of the way Wikipedia evolves. It's especially bad if you disregard the entire much more nuanced discussion in the remaining article.

That's a fake Wikipedia screenshot! That line doesn't exist in the actual article and didn't at the time when that tweet was written, and does not even fit in the context. To me, this is at best an example for how much higher the quality is on Wikipedia than in average social media like X.

Certainly not the only country. Iceland is even more extreme in this regard and unlike Finland it is powered by 100% renewables, hydro and geothermal energy. In Finland the only good renewable alternative is wood/biomass.

It was essentially banned via copyright for a long time. The only reason that it is available now is that 70 years have passed since the authors death.

It seems like the screenshots are clustered in some way. That is especially visible when you zoom out.

Seems more like it should stop the AI from e.g. summarizing news and emails about death, not for a chat filter.

It uses a bit simpler approach, only detecting movement, but it works good enough for such games.

Before 2022, I once noticed that the Deutsche Bahn app for German trains let me put Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, as destination. The app is good at finding international connections, but it only shows stations that are actually reachable from Germany. After some research, I found it was indeed possible to find a connection from Europe to Pyongyang via Vladivostok once per month. Not anymore though, they removed the Russian train network from their system.

That's the point, the linked system prompt explicitly tells it that Trump was elected.

The users may have 1080p monitors, but even Windows does not do subpixel antialiasing in its new apps (UWP/WinUI) anymore. On Linux, GTK4 does not do subpixel antialiasing anymore.

The reason is mostly that it is too hard to make it work under transformations and compositing, while higher resolution screens are a better solution for anyone who cares enough.
