Grease the bearings and change the tires regularly and they can easily last decades!

The only downside of a rarely used trailer is taking up space the rest of the year.

My concern is that the current models have been trained on current technology by stealing knowledge from the existing pool of senior and junior engineers as well as a whole load of hobbyists.

It also means that when some new technology comes out there won't be a wealth of knowledge for the AI to consume and regurgitate, so the use of new technologies will be hindered if everyone relies on AI trained on current technology.

Every one of those mathematical milestones made by AI is followed by an article from a mathematician pointing out the 'discovery' was a flawed rehash or not really applicable to the problem. Same for all the claims about finding bugs, they are old and known bugs and occasionally it can identify already known types of bugs faster as long as a human can filter out the wrong results.

AI does do a fine job of filtering large data sets in controlled environments, like how it is used for finding exoplanets, but just for speeding up an existing process.

It doesn't do anything new.

Similar but not exactly the same, kind of like how pans of different materials are similar but not the same when it comes to cooking on a stove top.

If you put a flat piece with a hole cut in the center over the fan face it will keep the flow coming from the filter and not the sides of the fan. Like this example, the cardboard forces the air to come from the back and not the sides.

From the pic it looks like you lost a few speckles, is it just that or did you have any big chunks come out?

If you just lost some little bits here and there you can either give it one or two seasoning runs or just let it fix itself through usage if you use it regularly. When you cook with it and get done, clean it well with dish soap, then towel dry and put it back on an medium heat to dry. Once it gets warm add a small amount of oil and use a lint free cloth to wipe it all around and wipe it really well so it looks kinda wet/dry. Let it get hot until it just barely starts to smoke then remove from the heat and wipe it really well with the cloth to remove the oil that kind of 'sweated' after it got hot. Just let it cool and use it again the next time you cook. Do this for as many uses as you want until it seems to have a solid seasoning again.

I use paper towels instead of a lint free cloth and it works fine, but lint free is the right way to do it. This approach basically adds a semi polymerized layer that will finish itself over time as you use it and as long as you wipe out all of the excess after applying and then again after heating each layer will be very thin.
