In human evolution, what is the result of 1+1 ?
In human evolution, what is the result of 1+1 ?
AI Thread Summary
In the context of human evolution, the discussion explores the implications of reproduction, humorously interpreting "1 + 1" as the process of conception leading to live births. Statistically, it is noted that typically, 1 + 1 results in about three children, considering the average number of offspring per conception. The conversation highlights the rarity of multiple births, with specific odds for twins, triplets, quadruplets, and quintuplets. Additionally, it touches on the complexities of reproduction, including the possibility of not having children or complications during childbirth, suggesting a broader interpretation of the equation. The tone remains light-hearted, incorporating humor about the potential negative outcomes of reproduction.

Interesting but very ambiguous.
If by 1 + 1 you mean having child/children conceived and then resulting in live birth(s) then about 98% of the time the answer is 3. However, 1 out of every 90 live births or so are twins, 1 out of 8,100 are triplets, 1 out of 729,000 are quadruplets and 1 out of every 65,610,000 are quintuplets.
And don’t forget about the odds of not producing child, or the mother dieing during childbirth etc etc.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here.
Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it:
Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources)
Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources)

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up.
It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
