should of done?

You're wrong about potatoes. They *are* high in starch, but they aren't "nearly all" starch, like corn or wheat.

Yes, it's got a long way to go. Unfortunately, at least SOME of the changes are (currently) on an exponential growth curve, and people have very poor ability to project those. (And also at some point "limiting factors" will manifest, which aren't significant during the early part of the rise.)

There are quite plausible scenarios where we are still in the early part of the exponential growth curve. Nobody can prove whether this speculation is true or false, but we should be prepared in case it is true.

That kind of thing is something that centrally controlled economies are prone to. It's the mirror image is the problems experienced during the "Great Leap Forward". Market driven economies have different problems (monopolies, concentration of power in the hands of the greedy, etc.) . I'm not really sure which is inherently more deleterious. Perhaps it depends on details of implementation.

It's almost certainly "too late", but I wouldn't say that it's "too little", as I don't think it's even the right move. The announced goal, however (move manufacturing back to the US) is correct. OTOH, sabotaging world trade is a really bad move.

Yes, but the projections I've seen give them several years before their chips catch up (to TSMC). So the question is "Is this a worthwhile move *this* year?". Clearly they should consider the US an unreliable supplier, however.

Unfortunately, the data isn't consistent. That's why they need to make corrections. The question is "Do the corrections make it more nearly accurate?", and that's really hard to demonstrate. When there's too much noise in the signal, it's really difficult to filter it out without losing the signal.

Oops, those are the wrong direction. But you get the idea.

Keep these permanently attached to your peripherals. You'll never notice them. They don't qualify as "dongles". I'm curious to hear how these reduce portability.

Keep a few adapters handy. Very tiny, very cheap, very easy. That makes a lot more sense than continuing to put USB-A ports on laptops.

When you're talking petabytes and "reading DNA", I don't think 60 minutes is the right order of magnitude.

I'm not sure this is going to be public facing. Many of the objections seem to assume that it is. OTOH, AI is known for returning the answers you want it to return, regardless of the truth of those answers. So perhaps it's the perfect yes-man.

Well, Apple's ProMotion screen has been using variable display frequencies for years. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxu...

But... That's you saying it's a codec.

MKV can contain MP4. A raw MP4 and that same file contained in an MKV would be virtually the same size (unless the MKV contains other things too).

I'm not going to claim those are harmless, but banning them appears more socially destructive than allowing them.
