I seem to remember a short science-fiction story about the opening of an amusement park, which had a mechanism so that dogs could not get in, but people were allowed. The subject of the story is a man who is not allowed by the mechanism, effectively being shut out like a dog.
You are describing the process as software too, and the weaknesses are in the same place: requirements. When you have a manufacturing or administrative process, there are also requirements to take into account. However, as these requirements change in time, your process should be updated too (that is of course the reason that CMM or ISO9000 certification should be renewed every couple of years).
Of course, in software, requirements can change much faster.
The basic functionality of neural networks have been long understood. I have at home an antique article (1963!) and schematic of an electronic neuron (with a couple of transistors).
One of the things Carver Mead was involved in the late 80's was the design of VLSI neuron structures.
So, no, this is not really new, but perhaps that with the larger integration, the IBM researchers could add better or more learning circuitry.
Possible in D. D should be the successor of C++, but people should also learn Scheme and Common Lisp, because C++ is jus becoming, featurewise, just an ugly shadow of them.
Perl is nice, I program whole days in Perl, but my real productivity boost (with Perl) came from this book.
If you have finished it, you will never look in the same way at programming.
After you have finished it, you should be able to start with this book, which will still give you a deeper insight. Make the exercises, try especially to grasp the parts about writing a Scheme interpreter and the register machines.
If you can't write a remote login shell in COBOL, or an application to organise your libraries, then you cannot program . Yes, I did both, on a platform (WANG VS) for which there was only a COBOL compiler installed. But I had access to all the OS calls through the compiler, so I could program what I wanted.
And I haven't seen anything in the last 10 years after I stopped with COBOL, that surpasses the ease to make proper financial calculations with it.
Having studied advanced telecommunications this year, I would surmise that baseband transmission is done over a channel with a matched filter, with synchronisation frames to regularly adapt the filter to an expected frame.
I am now busy studying for my master degree. Part of it is DSP lab, where we must report on. I can write Octave code to dump my graphics, and easily include them in my Latex documents. This also goes for my listings. While I like OOo/LibreOffice, there is no way I can create those reports with the same ease.

Wordperfect twenty years ago on DOS and a 16 MHz machine was better than MS Word is today on today's machines.
In 1991-1993 I helped creating and managing documents of 500-1000 pages, technical documents with much tables.
In MS Word I never got beyond 10 tables or pictures before I started having all kinds of problems with layout and formatting.
In that respect is Open/LibreOffice a fine replacement, it handles long documents with much graphics and tables without complaining.
They do when they are really at their wits end. Witness Syria.
Unless e.g. Bill Gates
That is why this is an absolute must, it does not learn a language (even though it uses Scheme), it learns to think about algorithms and their design.
And also for running Windows apps on Apple MacOSX. I installed wine via ports, and then installed ModelSim. Works very good.
Common Lisp is by default statically scoped, but it supports dynamic scoping.
That was indeed the first thing I thought about.

Or even without the fundamental mathematical theorems developed by them crazy mathematicians at Bell Labs between roughly 1917 and 1947.

But that was only as a service to the king, not as a measure of self-defence.

And malware for Mac, I had to remove some in 1990 and 1991.
Author also does not get the idea of evolution.
What one should expect in case humanity evolves under the pressure of multitasking is that either
If these effects exist, they can only be seen after several generations.
I strongly suggest that the author turns off his electronic media and takes time to read "On the Origin of Species".
Which is just Super Lots of Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic? Although in my experience it is a little bit too difficult compared with Nethack.

Using DOSBox on Linux and DOSemu too! Dreadnoughts Plus blocks on DOSBox, but runs fine on DOSEmu.
When I first read your sentence I thought it said

I subscribe to this.
