Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half

Electric heating

Electric heating uses relatively inexpensive tools to directly convert electrical energy into heat energy with a conversion efficiency of roughly 100%. Applications that are frequently used include industrial processes, cooking, water heating, and space heating. An electrical appliance that transforms an electric current into heat is called an electric heater. Every electric heater contains a heating element that is an electrical resistor and operates on the principle of Joule heating. When an electric current flows through a resistor, the electrical energy is transformed into heat energy. The active element in most contemporary electric heaters is nichrome wire; the heating element shown on the right is nichrome wire supported by ceramic insulators.

As an alternative, a heat pump, which uses electricity exclusively to transfer the thermal energy from the environment, primarily air, can achieve a heating efficiency of about 300%, or 3.0 Coefficient of Performance. The refrigeration cycle of the heat pump is powered by an electric motor, which pulls heat energy from the earth, outside air, or even the inside of a refrigerator, and transfers it to the area that needs to be warmed (in case of a fridge, the kitchen). This uses electricity considerably more efficiently than direct electric heating, but it also necessitates pipes and much more expensive equipment. For air conditioning, certain heating systems can be turned backwards, cooling the interior while venting much hotter air or water outside or into the earth.

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing. Chart: Bloomberg Solar energy is “a great

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WRITE LAWS: A regulation written entirely by chatbots was adopted in Brazil

  The city council of Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, passed a law whose text was written entirely with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) produced by ChatGPT. The document was created by AI with the help of questions entered by city council member Ramiro Rosario, and the proposal of that law allows the municipality not to charge taxpayers for replacing water meters if they are stolen, reported TASS. The city council already approved the document, and it was signed by the mayor Sebastiu Melu, and the members of the council, the mayor, and the citizens only found out after the law was passed that it was completely written by AI. - Our strategy was not to tell anyone that the AI did it, we just wanted to conduct an experiment. In the coming years, society will face a revolution in various fields thanks to artificial intelligence, and politics will not be left out of these changes, Rosario said. The American company OpenAI introduced the ChatGP
