The one thing I do not understand is that here you say: "Ensure stakeholders are aligned on what matters most and why" But it is instructions for LLMs, right? A way to describe something that the humans know and the LLMs don'

Sometimes used as a term in linguistics. Put it in quotes: "Indian Standard English" and you will see plenty of results. https://www.google.com/?q=%22Indian+Standard+English%22 https://www.jbe-platform.

Quite, indeed, has no simple meaning in British English. Any non-British attempt to assign one meaning that is different to their regional meaning is doomed to failure :-) I use it in different senses all the time.

It sort of means both simultaneously, doesn't it (we could discuss it but it's inconsequential), but we do tend to use it in that formulation most.

Except that if you were brought up in the 50s/60s/70s/80s in the Netherlands, you may have learned to speak English with what sounds to a Brit like an American accent, in part because so many of your EFL teachers were former

Not sure to what extent the ECJ is like this. It operates with a hybrid mix of inquisitorial and adversarial law. Typically in adversarial systems you can disagree with the judge and jury's findings in public as long as you abide by th

I don't know. I mean it's not a longing for just a place, as I understand it. I am not even sure that hiraeth is necessarily longing for the beauty of a place or time. Hiraeth, it seems to me, could equally be a longing for the w

Right. As a Brit I am entitled to think we speak the best version (because we do; ISE is a close second) but I am not entitled to believe everyone else's is wrong, because that is ahistorical. They have diverged repeatedly and thus ou

Or more generally: either everyone uses it or it stays the same. Nobody speaks the One True English. That is its power.

I'm interested to make a Dexed thing more for the fun/process of it. At the moment I am mostly playing lap steel but it's early days as an electric player so I am trying to not spend much money :-) For lap steel which is cont

I never actually owned one but I loved playing one. Just the fact that a synth thing was so (relatively) affordable and accessible and also made music we heard all the time. I should probably make a Dexed thing. Ultimately I don't ev

I am not at all suggesting the first study is good, or that I believe its conclusions. (Or that the failure of the second study validates the conclusions of the first.) I am just saying that people here who think the second study overturned

It might suggest that but they can’t back it up because the study is broken and perhaps forever unrepeatable. Like, what people are saying is, “That old study was wrong! They did a new broken study that overturned it!”

Their followup study essentially says the followup study itself is possibly broken because developers will now not participate in some of the non-AI tasks and because the study pays less. I would not, at all, suggest that this second study

The notion of a species only really exists in the human world; it's a human concept. So the discovery of a new species is the discovery of a new classification need. It is new to science. (At a first approximation, essentially all ex
