> dot += A[i] * B[i]; Isn't it pretty bad for accuracy to accumulate large numbers of floats in this fashion? o.O In the example it's 640,000 numbers. log2(640,000) is ~19.3 but the significand of a float has only 23 bits plus

I'm extremely disappointed to learn that Firefox allows access to motion sensors by default and provides no option to make it ask for permission. It can only be disabled completely but this silently breaks legitimate uses like this one

AFAIK with the Nokia N900 this was possible in 2009 using gstreamer. I never actually used it to create a video device but I assume that the v4l2sink was already a thing back then. I did use it quite a few times for streaming to remote wind

Good results without optimization at 300 mm sounds pretty impressive. Maybe belts are the way to go. Thanks for taking the time to elaborate!
