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...

The force of the wind

 In order to produce electricity, wind turbines are mostly used in wind power or wind energy. In comparison to burning fossil fuels, wind energy is a well-liked, environmentally friendly, renewable energy source. Wind energy has historically been used to power sails, windmills, and windpumps, but today it is primarily employed to produce electricity. Numerous separate wind turbines connected to the electrical power transmission network make up wind farms.

New onshore (on-land) wind farms are less expensive to build than new coal or gas facilities, but fossil fuel subsidies are impeding the growth of wind power. Compared to certain other power plants, onshore wind farms have a more noticeable visual influence on the terrain. Little onshore wind farms can add a small amount of power to the grid or supply remote off-grid areas with electricity. Offshore wind farms have less of an aesthetic impact and produce more energy per installed capacity with less variability. Offshore wind generation is growing, despite the fact that it is currently less prevalent and has greater construction and maintenance costs. Currently, around 10% of new installations are for offshore wind power.



Due to the variable nature of wind energy, power-management strategies are used to balance supply and demand. These strategies include the use of wind hybrid power systems, hydroelectric power, other dispatchable power sources, excess capacity, geographically dispersed turbines, power exporting and importation to nearby regions, and grid storage. A region may need to improve its system as the amount of wind energy grows. The electric-power network can be prepared for the predictable variations in production that take place thanks to weather forecasts.

Over 1800 TWh, or over 6% of global electricity and about 2% of global energy, came from wind energy in 2021. The capacity of installed wind power worldwide surpassed 800 GW after an addition of about 100 GW in 2021, primarily in China and the US. Analysts believe it needs to grow more quickly, by more than 1% of annual electricity generation, to help achieve the Paris Agreement's aims to reduce climate change.


The areas with the greatest potential for wind power are those in the upper northern and southern latitudes. In most areas, wind energy production is stronger at night and during the winter months when PV output is lower. Because of this, many nations can benefit from combining wind and solar electricity.

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...

How artificial intelligence changed the internet in 2023

  Although it does not look like it, ChatGPT is only a year old. It came out in November 2022, and a lot has changed in the meantime. The rise of artificial intelligence systems is being called by many a new industrial revolution and has raised various philosophical and ethical questions. Therefore, it has been a big year for chatbots and other AI stuff – even though it is all happening fast, we still do not seem to be aware of what is changed. During 2023 we learned that AI can "hallucinate", but not in a fun way. Those hallucinations make linguistic sense and contain some elements of reality. That is why it is not always easy to separate the truth from complete nonsense. The internet has been flooded with stupid things "said" by various chatbots, for example, Google Bard presented incorrect things as correct, while ChatGPT managed to ruin a lawyer's career. Deepfake has entered the mainstream over the year, as new fake AI-generated content looks even more real...

‘Meta’ introduces new ‘Messenger’ encryption: 'We don't know what's sent either'

Meta said it will introduce default encryption for personal calls and messages through the Messenger app so "no one, including Meta, can see what is being sent or said." It's a major update to privacy terms reminiscent of Meta's other app, WhatsApp, CNBC reports. Messenger boss Loredana Crisan added in an accompanying post on the company's blog that it will take an indefinite amount of time to encrypt all conversations. In 2016, users were given the option to choose whether they wanted to protect their communications through so-called end-to-end encryption, and now it will be the default option. This change was confirmed by the CEO of "Meta", Mark Zuckerberg, with a post on the social network "Facebook" and on that occasion he congratulated the team for a job well done.
