Funny, my mind went to OpenTTD
The biome button graphics are taken from the OpenTTD main menu.

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.

The edit did exist. So the phrase "Multiple studies have found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia" can be found last in the edit (4 February 2025) [1] and was removed by the editor Aquillion with the explanation [2]
Not seeing anything in this source that supports this language; they summarize no other sources that I could see, and their own conclusions are more complex than this (as covered further down the article.)

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.

Yes, it's certainly possible that Iceland is better for solar than Finland not because of its sunlight, but because of those myriad extra factors.
I think Finland just has a large enough extent from south to north that solar might be starting to become viable in the south but not in the north. While Iceland already produces more electricity per capita than any other country, using only hydro and geothermal, so solar is pretty much non-existent.

They’ve always have had a leftist bias like most of big tech.

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.

Finland is the only country in the world where solar isn't the cheapest form of electricity because they get so little sun and they have good alternatives.
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.

Minor nitpick: it did not use preprogrammed rules for scanning through the search tree, but it does use preprogrammed rules to enforce that no illegal moves are made during play.
During play, yes, obviously you need an implementation of the game to play it. But in its planning tree, no:
> MuZero only masks legal actions at the root of the search tree where the environment can be queried, but does not perform any masking within the search tree. This is possible because the network rapidly learns not to predict actions that never occur in the trajectories it is trained on.
It's not actually banned in Germany. Though I think the only edition you can buy here is annotated, which does seem like a good idea.
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.
Take heart: I checked this by taking a random screenshot, and browsing down to see how long it took me to find a commercial page. A quick sense of my trail was really encouraging:
- Open source wasm runtime
- Science transparency campaign
- Netherlands gov anti-climate change program
- open thesaurus
- GNOME conference
- France's portal of towns and cities
- Scientific measurement standardistion page
- Scientific journal
- free eBook library
- parked domain
- Linux community
- Open source graphics library
- placeholder/template blog
- A book publisher (selling books!)
It took quite a while to find a commercial site,and that itself (a bookseller) is a positive thing itself.
It seems like the screenshots are clustered in some way. That is especially visible when you zoom out.
