People who quote that quip aren't being half as clever as they think, since it rather depends on the distribution. A normally distributed "intelligence" with a very small standard deviation would not be much of an issue

That's a horrible idea because someone could simply build a bigger cluster, or record and save communications until they can get some better hardware in a few months.

How about Forbes? Is that sufficiently billionaire boot-licking for you?

To clarify that'd be strict and enforced privacy regulations with teeth, not a central clearinghouse.

That is what a properly functioning government is for :-[

Yep, there's a very good reason that engineers poke and prod at things for years before marking something as safe for a life critical area.

Did you bother to read any of the articles or their sources, or search the internet?

The fact that people have not learned the term (yet) is irrelevant. People can learn all kinds of new terms like "AI slop", "riz", etc.

But since you clearly are a leading researcher in the field of nutrition, perhaps you can point us to the papers that support your view of what the problem is? It is not my field, but from what I have read it is not so simplistic as you make it.

As I understand it, the issue "with just a salt", fat, sugar, etc. Is not in the individual components themselves, but in how they are used to make hyper-palatable foods that hijack you're brain's perceptions of nutritional value and satiation. Similarly, ultra-processed foods (which goes far beyond traditional bread or chopped meat) are the constructions of "food products" from industrial ingredients e.g; soylent, huel, Magic Spoon, "Wonderbread"... These foods seem to have little substance to them e.g; fiber or other difficult-to-digest/indigestible components; making them too easy/rapid to digest. This in turn seems to make them less filling, while also altering our microbiome (which do much of our digestion, moderates our appetite and makes vital nutrients).

It should remain a part of elementary math class. After all, analog clocks or odometers are the easiest way to broach various topics like modular math.

How exactly is another system of insecure, network accessible cameras with security implications "off-topic?" Is it because its domestically designed-shit rather than a foreign company? Or are people too simple to see the parallels?

Now go after flock "safety" and all of its ill-conceived and awfully implemented brethren.

They sold their future long ago and yet next time it will be different. Just get back to a nice, simple but extensible browser that doesn't get in the user's way with arbitrary constraints or continuous god-awful re-designs.

Brilliant! Of course, there is the small matter of their already being a whole class of chemicals called alum X-P

You're not three quarters as clever as you think you are being. While some sex chromosome anomalies leave the individual sterile, others do not. Moreover, even if individuals are in reproduction this does not mean that the individuals are polar opposites. Many plants are fertile hermaphrodites, while others are single sex, and there's an argument that other species have more than two sexes. Indeed, I recall a lesson in a population genetics class in college about a plant with many many sexes, any two of which can reproduce... I thought it was clover or lavender, but unfortunately cannot find a citation to substantiate that. Of course humans aren't plants, but they simply serve as an example of how complex seemingly simple systems really are.
