Reminds me of the first 5 minutes of Idiocracy... the high-IQ couple with the fertility issue. Meanwhile the overall population is now 7.5Bn and still rising,,, Oh well.
Sounds good if they make the corpus freely available. Having lots of free high quality audio recorded from modern digital microphones would be useful. Voxforge recordings tend to be poor quality, TIMIT is still proprietary despite being over 30 years old now, and the TEDLIUM corpus recordings seem to have a horrible amount of reverb/echo in them.
Dragon's Lair wasn't really multi-threaded, there was a single thread that you had to follow religiously or you died. Proper multi-threaded story telling is much more interesting. (and difficult to implement well)
IMHO what is mostly needed is faster memory. Modern ML often involves working with multi-Gigabyte domain models, stored in DRAM, where the access latency hasn't changed particularly in the last 10 years.
"At 12:04:03, every screen in the building strobed for eighteen seconds in a frequency that produced seizures in a susceptible segment of Sense/Net employees."
'Offline' is difficult to deal with long-term (i am thinking decades to centuries) such is the nature of technology and the lack of any real history we have of digital data management,
Personally I would say the best bet is keeping your data 'live' online to some extent, it is the only real way to monitor and control the inevitable decay.
Basically your data's lifespan is related to how long you can convince someone to care for it for you.

I though Nokia and Apple settled their patent problems in 2011

Story from a couple months ago
Story from 5 days ago
Hope the military aren't looking into this side effect.
Talk about taking the whole 'self improvement' thing too far. The weekend should come with a WTFPL licence.

The oldest example I know is Inigo Gets Out by Amanda Goodenough, from 1987 on an Apple Mac.
Douglas Adams and Tom Baker mention it in 'Hyperland'
It's Bram Stoker spining is his grave.
Um... yea.. Thanks for that.
Are you high?

Pretty sure it's still printer ink.
Worse still, it's a "proprietary format" which (as Sony has proven) tend not to have a very long life span.

Last of the US MP3 patents expires a month from today.
'Forever' is a long time.

45% of all child deaths are simply down to malnutrition.
Interesting recent news article about treating prostate cancer by 'cycling' testosterone levels
I'm more 'old school' so was thinking Andromeda Strain
You just _know_ the CEO of Burger King is thinking 'Fuck everything, we're doing a triple straw."
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of how awesome my 'Beats by Dre' headphones are.
The ugliness of the real world in comparison to that mathematical beauty can unfortunately be a bit too much.
LOL, a bracing post sir.
