>And how much did it cost you in compute time to find those 5?

This is the last thing I'd worry about if the bug is serious in any way. You have attackers like nation states that will have huge budgets to rip your software apart with AI and exploit your users.

Also there have been a number of detailed articles about AI security findings recently.

Most people have no idea how hard it is to run static analysis on C/C++ code bases of any size. There are a lot of ways to do it wrong that eat a ton of memory/CPU time or start pruning things that are needed.

If you know what you're doing you can split the code up in smaller chunks where you can look with more depth in a timely fashion.

Make energy so expensive that people have to move away or burn their old house.

You'd think, but then you get Northeastern states paying poor people thousands of dollars a year to keep their oil heat going.

Kind of silly to think when we've invented materials like areogel.

Take plants that can use enery from the sun 'freely'. Is it cheap for them? Not really when you look at the evolutionary battle between plant species. There is always another plant willing to take your place if you're inefficient, slow growing, not poisoning the ground around you, or some other trick to keep you alive.

Any means to keep energy cheap and abundant must be by force because it is not a natural order.

I'm guessing you don't live in a place with tropical storms or really severe weather.

Where I am your house would flood when 80mph+ winds blow the rain up your walls.

Indeed, that is the case. However the house is only 55 years old, so a freak storm destroying it isn't out of the question.

And? Any coal not used in summer is coal not dug up.

>you can switch the corn use from etanol to food

Not that easily. Yellow dent corn is not edible without processing. So to switch that to food use you have to have factories to deal with it.

You'd be far better off taking the energy from panels and using it greenhouses to get human feed.

Yellow corn is very popular here in Argentina. Things I ate this or last week:

* Home made popcorn: made from whole yellow corn grains.

* Corn on the cob: Sweet yellow corn. We just learned that you can microwave them for 6 minutes instead of boiling.

* Polenta: Grinded yellow corn. Add milk, butter and as much cheese as possible. You can buy the precooked grinded corn, and it takes less than 5 minutes. Bonus points for a sauce with tomato, onion, peppers, and red chorizo. [1]

* Humita/Tamales: Put some grinded corn wrapped inside the corn husk and boil it. I had not eat them since a long time ago, but they use also yellow corn here. I like it, but it requires a lot of preparation.

We use white corn only for food related to our two independence day:

* Locro: Mix split white hard corn, beans, pumpkin pieces, potatoes, pieces of meat with bone and whatever you can find. Boil it for hours and hours and hours. I probably eat it once or twice a year. [2]

* Mazamorra (porridge?): Mix split white hard corn with sugar and probably milk. Boil it until it's soft, that may take a very long time. I think I eat it once or twice in my life, for some patriotic celebration.

PS: As a rule of thumb, if you want to cook Argentinean food, just look at the site of "Paulina Cocina". She has simple but tasty recipes.

Dent corn doesnt make popcorn nor can you eat it as sweet corn, it is a corn optimized for starch. If you want to eat it directly you must put a nixtamalization process on it or it doesn't have much nutritional value. Typically it's processed into starch process, or turned into fuel or fructose.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent_corn

> Dent corn is the variety used in food manufacturing as the base ingredient for cornmeal flour (used in the baking of cornbread), corn chips, tortillas, and taco shells. It is also used to make corn syrup.

After a quick search, you need "flint" corn instead of "dent" corn for polenta (it appears to be similar to grits). I guess in case of an emergency anyone is better than nothing.

Also, it would be much easier to switch if the people has the know-how. (I'm worried about the availability of enough seeds of the other corn.)

Define wealth in an exact manner.

Because rich people have both the power and motivation to define it in a manner in which they still win. Wealth can be education. Wealth can be contacts. Wealth can be properties. Wealth can be businesses. Wealth can be in other countries.

Every horse said the same thing when cars were invented.

I reckon humans are a _tad_ bit more flexible than horses.

Not near as much as you'd like to believe. It takes years for us to grow up, get an education and become useful. Changing what we do can be quite difficult, especially with the time and monetary costs of doing so. Plus inroads by technology can wipe jobs quickly even if they'll eventually be replaced.

When you have a bunch of people scared that they'll starve tomorrow society will fall apart (even more than it has). The rise to authoritarianism will lead to rather bad outcomes in the medium term.
