Are you going to raise this with the school? It seems highly inappropriate on their part

Brilliant and lovely, well done. I think the applicability of techniques go both ways. Similar to what Sarah's dad said, I see research in ML now which rehashes expertise from many decades ago. Conversely, I see the demoscene implement

Many comments are focussed on how this will affect models in deployment, but a more troubling implication for me is that evaluations and comparisons across models using past data are affected by this.

The article mentions something important and doesn't elaborate, that is, to trust the scientific method. I've seen a few times state of the art developments that appeared to upend everything in my field. Only then with the passage

The approach you suggest is very common in the public sector, almost to a rule. Public services are just massive, costly, complicated, and cater to all sorts of vulnerable populations, and the public have pay for it. The time horizon on som

Why are so many low magnitude stars in this image, not shrouded by gas, not visible at all in the previous image? Surely some visible light must be emitted by these?

I presumed OP was talking about winders and so on. If shims were used for critical elements like optical alignment, I'm guessing that it's because this was the cheaper route to precision, rather than due to an inability to measure

It's state of the art. It sounds amazing compared to anything that's existed before. What alternative are you comparing this to to say that it's awful?

If someone can't say "got a minute to chat?" or even "hello" to you without causing anxiety, you need a long break, a new job, or professional help. Surprised at all the comments agreeing with this article.
