helonaut··on Fairphone 6 wide camera experimental Linux support
True, the article was written with LLM help. Although the most important takeaways are that 1) the camera driver for the FP6 has been fixed and 2) humans can help produce drivers in a fraction of the time cost thanks to LLM help. These are both remarkable enough to vote this article to first place on HackerNews :)

I submitted this article, as the author of the blog article is my close friend and we’re trying to build an open phone stack together. He clearly wrote that he used Opus for helping him write the driver. He also used LLM to help him write the article, but everything in the post is correct. The fact is that 1) the driver has been fixed and the camera is working (most important accomplishment) and 2) humans are able to help make drivers in a fraction of the time cost that it used to take. Both points are remarkable and deserve HackerNews top 1 position. Vote up please! :)
