In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists say they detected five broad phases of brain structure in the average human life, split up by four pivotal “turning points” between birth and death when our brains reconfigure.

The AIs’ failure rates exceeded 80 percent when provided with given ambiguous symptoms that could match more than one condition, and for more straightforward cases that included including physical exam findings and lab results, they still failed 40 percent of the time. The researchers also found that unlike human clinicians, the “LLMs collapse prematurely onto […]

You season a cooking pot?
Personally, no. I once owned an iron skillet that I was attempting to season until someone washed it. Both of my woks are unseasoned.
I don’t understand. What is seasoning a pot or pan or skillet?
Seasoning a pot/pan/wok involves heating cooking oil at the beginning, wiping away excess oil, and allow the wok to cool. Once you start cooking food in the wok, you never use soap and water to clean it. You wipe out the food particles, add oil, wipe again, then store away for the next use.
I think that’s how my late friend used to treat her cast iron skillet.
After multiple uses, the wok develops a coating of oils and adds flavor to any future meals cooked in the wok. It never gets washed.
Isn’t that a breeding ground for bacteria?
I think the heat would kill the pathogens
Of course!
