From Middle English probleme, from Middle French probleme, from Latin problema, from Ancient Greek πρόβλημα (próblēma, “anything thrown forward, hindrance, obstacle, anything projecting, a headland, promontory”), from προβάλλω (probállō, “to throw or lay something in front of someone, to put forward”), from προ- (pro-, “in front of”) + βάλλω (bállō, “to throw, to cast, to hurl”).
[note the etymologic similarity to word "project": from Latin projectum ‘something prominent’, neuter past participle of proicere ‘throw forth’, from pro- ‘forth’ + jacere ‘to throw’)]

The Millennium Problems are seven mathematical challenges established by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000, each with a prize of one million dollars for a correct solution. These problems represent some of the most persistent and critical unsolved issues in mathematics, spanning areas such as number theory, geometry, analysis, and fluid dynamics. Only one of the problems, the Poincaré Conjecture, has been solved so far. Unresolved - as of AE53 - ones are:
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture
Hodge Conjecture
Navier–Stokes Existence and Smoothness
P vs NP Problem
Riemann Hypothesis
Yang–Mills Existence and Mass Gap

The Fremen stilsuit, native to the desert planet Arrakis *, is a marvel of engineering. Designed to conserve moisture, this full-body attire reclaims sweat, breath, and waste, converting them into drinkable water. Its black, skin-tight material is layered to reduce heat exposure and prevent water loss. Tubing systems distribute reclaimed water to catchpockets, from which the wearer can drink. Breath filters purify and reclaim moisture, while a nose plug ensures no moisture escapes. Built for desert survival, the stilsuit ensures the Fremen can thrive in Arrakis' harsh environment, making the most of every precious drop of water.
* also known as Terra, Gaia or Zem etc. during AD and AE epochs

A space elevator is a proposed transport system connecting Earth's surface directly to space using a tethered cable. Primarily envisioned to reduce exorbitant rocket launch costs, it aims to provide sustainable and energy-efficient space access. The concept requires a geostationary anchor in space and a base on Earth, connected by a carbon nanotube or similar high-strength cable. Centrifugal forces from Earth's rotation keep the cable taut. Elevator cars, powered by solar energy or lasers, would climb this cable.
Status: uncertain but decidable

- Subsequently, You move the finger/cursor over the first syllable/word. You pronounce the segment only when its background has green color.
- You gradually progress from syllable to syllable and segment to segment. You always start pronouncing certain segment only when it is green.
- Note that accentuated & long syllables are marked with blue color, while short/non-accentuated syllables are marked with green color.
- After You are done with the last syllable You move Your finger towards the stop button. Then you can playback the whole recording, when you are satisfied you click on "Upload" and the next text appears.
×
In order to be fully compliant with European data-protection Law, we need Your explicit consent regarding use of Your voice data. Please choose one among following consent types:
- Do not upload :: You do not give us Your consent. Thus, no data will be uploaded from Your browser to our server. But You can still use the interface for testing purposes.
- Only speech-to-text-models :: Your recordings will become part of the corpus from which automatic speech recognition (ASR) models will be trained. Corpus itself will not be published but the final model will be published.
- Only text-to-speech :: Similar to previous option but this time, the resulting model will not be used for ASR but for synthesis of artificial voices.
- STT & TTS :: Both ASR and voice synthesis models could be trained from datasets containing Your recordings. Again, the recordings themselves will not be published.
- Public Dataset :: Your recordings will become part of a publicly available dataset. This is the most permissive option.
Note that in all cases, Your recordings will be anonymized and asides voluntary gender / age / zodiac sign / mother language information no metadata is collected.
