Don't use whitening agents. Your washer will explode.

The Nature article's abstract mentions the absorption is in the visible-light range, from 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength. As you said, the article does not mention anything about heat (i.e., infrared radiation) but surely the fabric would emit heat as a blackbody at a nonzero Kelvin temperature. And in this case, the blackbody literally would appear black.

To be sure. Could you explain how that applies here?

It's not about buying votes. It's about buying influence. Trump will still be in office for the next 3-ish years, and in that time, I expect he will continue to reward his friends and punish his foes.

Dell wants to be one of Trump's friends. But ... so did Elon, until stuff.

Okay, fair enough. I'll concede that socialism and communism advocate for communal ownership of the means of production. Communism advocates for the abolition of private property of any kind: the government owns everything, not just the means of production.

However, I stand by my other point: neither is fascism.

I did:

When the government owns the means of production, it's neither socialism nor fascism. It's communism.

And I'm not saying the current administration doesn't show fascist tendencies.

Thanks for chiming in, and sorry for not getting the joke.

Fair point. Maybe we'll never know.

In encounters with ChatGPT that I have seen, I have noticed that it is (or perhaps was) quite obsequious. It bends over backwards to accommodate its interlocutor, looking for some way to validate what it is told.

But there have been exceptions. For example, flat-earther David Weiss tried to get ChatGPT to confirm (what else) that the earth was flat, but ChatGPT firmly but politely pushed back, explaining what was valid and invalid about the statements Weiss made. I saw an entertaining review of the discussion in several videos on SciManDan's YouTube channel a few months ago. It's worth a look, but please give SciManDan the views, not Weiss.

If you think that an AI "recognizes" you as someone smarter than most of the human population, are you sure you don't have a delusion?

Enjoy your time with your imaginary friend. I suspect "most of the human population" would not be inclined anyway to engage someone with your attitude of superiority.

Came here to say the same thing. I think this is the correct link.

Thanks for the extra info, especially about the family's great care and communication. But one correction: the victim was a woman.

Yep. Disney tried a similar tactic, citing the Disney+ terms of service when one of their guests suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a restaurant at one of their parks. Disney wanted to use the ToS to send the case to arbitration, but relented.

What I meant was that Windows users just expect pretty much everything to be controllable via a GUI. They don't do CLI, even though for some uncommon tasks it is essential. Just like almost all Linux distros that have GUIs for most common things, but not all.

I can't give you a better reason because I'm not the OP. I'm not sure the OP actually has one, other than GUIs being somewhat self-describing in terms of available options. And I can relate to that. But it only takes you so far. Point-and-click becomes point-and-grunt after you gain facility with a system. It replaces a 102-key device with a 2-key device that limits you to what a GUI designer has allowed you to access.
