I guess the news is out that I'm now on the advisory board of the UN Human Development Report.
As someone from a family that has experienced extreme poverty, the stakes for the UN Development Programme's work have always felt deeply urgent to me. I was surprised and delighted to be asked, and I hope my involvement can contribute in some small way to the wider work of others toward human flourishing.

Adobe now has a tool to get rid of ugly window reflections in photos
A year after the feature was revealed as a Sneak at Adobe’s annual conference, the Reflection Removal tool is now available in Camera Raw, and coming soon to Lightroom.Andrew Liszewski (The Verge)
@Gargron sometimes you can’t take a photo without a window between.
Example : in a plane or behind a protecting glass from dangerous stuff (chemical, electrical, etc.).
AI is bad for creative reasons I agree but when it could be useful and we assume doesn’t steal someone’s work, even though I don’t like it or don’t see it in my workflow, we cannot just ignore it for the sake of disliking or else.
Personally, I think this feature can be very useful in certain cases or circumstances.
@Gargron
Honestly this sounds like a great tool to have.
Angles and polarised filters won't help with everything and the average person is just waving their phone anyway.
Not that I would willingly give money to Adobe mind you.
But it's more useful than moving things around in the photo that everyone has.

Those zig-zags she has spun actually reflect ultra-violet light. Perhaps to catch insects who are looking for that colour to find pollen.
