So where do you draw the line? Summation and multiplication of signals is fine, but conditionals are bad? That’s just arbitrary bullshitting around a non-exist

So where do you draw the line? Summation and multiplication of signals is fine, but conditionals are bad? That’s just arbitrary bullshitting around a non-existing problem. Hell, it is pretty easy to check iphone’s performance with measurement metrics — make the same photo in identical environments with the iphone and with a camera with much bigger sensors and compare the results. Hell, that’s literally how apple calibrated their algorithm.

> So where do you draw the line? Summation and multiplication of signals is fine, but conditionals are bad? Effectively, yes. Hard conditionals create discontinuities in the mathematical sense. So while I'm not sure of the rest of line's path, conditionals are on it (and using generative AI to hide discontinuities doubly so!). In general, I'm fine with information loss. I'm not fine with adding information that wasn't in the photo originally.
