Blacker than black? Of course!
After very dark surface covering, there is now a new dark fabric available, that is the darkest documented black fabric.
The fabric based on black bird plumage absorbs 799/800 of the light falling into it, making it deep dark. Fascinating!

Bird-of-paradise inspires darkest fabric ever made | Cornell Chronicle
The color “ultrablack” has a variety of uses, including in cameras, solar panels and telescopes, but it’s difficult to produce and can appear less black when viewed at an angle. A Cornell lab has devised a simple method for making the elusive color.

Epistemological Fault Lines Between Human and Artificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are widely described as artificial intelligence, yet their epistemic profile diverges sharply from human cognition. Here we show that the apparent alignment between human and machine outputs conceals a deeper structural mismatch in how judgments are produced. Tracing the historical shift from symbolic AI and information filtering systems to large-scale generative transformers, we argue that LLMs are not epistemic agents but stochastic pattern-completion systems, for…

There’s officially a city prohibition on ICE setting foot in city parks, but who knows what that’s worth? Those bastards will do anything if they think they can get away with it. And they’ll grab people right off the streets if they’re falling behind quota for the day. Who’d risk that?
ICE had apparently succeeded turning the park into all-white world they dreamed of. It was…creepy.

@… thanks!
My gut feeling, which might be wrong (QEMU is very new to me): QEMU could be tricky – if the settings that are typical on, for example, Windows, macOS and Linux hosts differ substantially from settings that are typical for a FreeBSD 15 or 16 host.
I mean, don't let QEMU be a distraction.
In particular: I don…
