Like we've known the answer to this question since 1941.

Johns Hopkins sophomore student Florin Selaru develops a new scheme to deconvolve colors in histological sections for digital pathology.

It greatly outperforms traditional linear color deconvolution.

Congrats Florin!

On the politics, that is. On the policy, I think he vastly underestimates how bad the situation is within the executive branch. It's by no means a settled question whether the government doing nothing is better than doing what it's currently doing.

Damian Dalle Nogare @damiandn.bsky.social · 28d

This piece isn't bad, necessarily, it just falls into the pundit trap of "we can easily extrapolate from what came before to what will happen now". Nothing about the last 6 months leads me to believe that is a useful analytical framework in 2025.

Matt Glassman @mattglassman312.bsky.social · 29d

My view on strategic shutdowns: bad policy, bad politics.

open.substack.com/pub/mattglas...

A Strategic Shutdown is a Terrible Idea

It's bad policy. It's worse politics. But a lot of liberal Dems are pushing for it.

From #ome-ngff-validator you can open open #OME-Zarr images in a bunch of viewers, and neuroglancer's rendering of multi-channel images just got a lot nicer: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val... - See github.com/google/neuro...

Here is the "pro res zoom" shot. Like... How?

Damian Dalle Nogare @damiandn.bsky.social · Sep 3

Not going to get into the "what is a photo" debate, but I will say the zoom on the new pixel is really something. Here's a normal shot from my backyard. If you zoom way in on the top of the mountain you'll see a small village there.

A picture of a backyard with some houses and a mountain in the background. On top of the mountain, barely visible, is a village.
