I agree with you. But to be fair, gasoline powered cars are also converging on being crappy tablets with wheels attached.

Analogously, there's evidence that companies will make extensive use of available techniques (browser fingerprinting, cookies, etc.) to track and surveil users without their knowledge and often against their will. The exposure of that

There's at least two issues with this line of thinking: 1. many astronomical observations are long integrations (many minutes of open shutter) and you often cannot read out the pixels during the exposure. So you can't selectively

Can you elaborate on how this is doable (in, say, Racket) and what tooling is needed? I'm afraid your reply doesn't add much information beyond the same assertion that I quoted that was in the article posted to HN. And I haven&#x2

There is a mission concept for a far-infrared interferometer: https://asd.gsfc.nasa.gov/spice/ One would need to go to space for that of course.
