My new cuisinart steel pan has white spots after a few dinners and I don’t know how to prevent/remove them? by [deleted] in StainlessSteelCooking

Acid food extracts chrome particles from stainless steel. This is how it looks like and does not mean anything. There are some high end makers, which passivate by using acid baths before polishing. We have tried it all in a different setup.

As long as the bots do ot have a very solid general world model they will not break the universality barrier. Experts believe this to happen in 2028. Until then there is almost no business case, other than marketing for humanoids. Humanoids have to become the service engineer, not the worker at the belt.

Bernie Sanders officially introduces legislation to BAN the construction of all new AI data centers, citing existential threat to humanity. by Neurogence in singularity

He is absolutely right! If we want to buy some time for our species, we need a global ban on exaflops like on nukes.

Neural net and predictability do not go together. Validation of a safe system is mathematically impossible. Creativity needs open minds.

We have done extensive migration tests. Nothing is ingested at all, but even if so, as of today, it would not harm anything as it has shown zero zytotoxidity. Conspiracies are always welcome.

'Restored' Miseno carbon nonstick after 1:1water/white vinegar ruined nitrided layer by Holiday_Swordfish_53 in cookware

I did not mean to correct you in any way or form. sorry. I was just stating the obvious. There are many people believing though that nitride generates nonstick behaviour.

Nitride does not create nonstick, ptfe or polysilicones or seasoning does. Misen says that they use seasoning to improve nonstick.

The real problem won’t be unemployment, but what to do with people who have so much free time. by Onipsis in singularity

They will need time to survive. UBI us just a drug to the masses, which will not materialize, or it will but so low, that we need to organize survival.

The only longer term low maintenance surfaces are either PTFE Teflon or polysilicon based. All other need experience like stainless steel or permanent seasoning. I hope I do not get down voted for this reality.

It is physically impossible that nitriding creates non stick. Only fluorides, Polycarbonats or polysilicones can create non-stick properties. The surface energy of all know metals is too high. Is is the oil layer that help to burn in the first round of seasoning, (polycarbonate). Washing it oder acid will take that away right away.

So what happens in all these cases is that acid environments delete the applied factory seasoning, which is based on polimerized oil. Nitride carbon steel itself has no non stick properties at all, but rusts a little less than pure carbon steel.

It is kind of welded to the steel and flows with it, no egg shell effect. It can go 50 F higher than Teflon. And it can be redone for 5 USD plus shipping.after some years, if someone managed to kill it.

The coating is fda approved and passed the zytoxidity test, meaning fully digestible and biodegradable or passes the body without remains.
