For me the problem is mainly when trying to sleep, specifically, at Burning Man, where it can be very difficult. I used foam earplugs for years, but they leave something to be desired.

It’s a mass-market computer used by millions of people who don’t want to shoot themselves in the foot. People can be tricked into things, perhaps like turning off a “Bypass Mode”-like switch. I think this is a hard problem.
Their RFP notes that it’s hard to optimize code to run on the zillion possible combinations of CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, SoCs, and so seeks revolutionary new compiler technology that will take your program, your target hardware alphabet soup combination, and output an executable optimized for that environment.
OTOH that was similar to what people were saying about hidden layers, so YMMV
