My experience is the opposite due to the insane overhead of the spyware^H^H^H antivirus and security services running on our personal devices. Some colleagues successfully applied for MacBooks since these are reasonably fast even while runn

> What if you split a file A into files B and C? You'd need to be able to track that too. Same for merging one file into another. And many many many more possible modifications. I suppose Bitkeeper can meaningfully deal with that si

The Kernel was not "stuck"; Linus is ultimately a practical man and was fine using it for integration work. The question whether or not switching to an Open Source solution would have eventually been raised again, but at the time

Children also have no choice than to be immersed around the clock. And they have very patient teachers who are elated about every new word they master and who will stubbornly correct them if they get something wrong. Most adult learners can

I think a lot also depends on whether the kids are in school or daycare already. Those will take care of advancing one of the languages. I'd say in your situation it doesn't really matter as long as the skills in English are maint

They also actively teach it to them. They are immersed around the clock, using other languages is forbidden (recalcitrant recruits used to get hazed in the past), and they put in efforts to teach it in a practical and conversational way.

The autoscaling is nice because a lot of performance issues just get resolved without much meddling by the ops team, buying time for proper optimizations should it get out of hand. The disadvantage is that people don't think hard about

I guess such a service gets coupled too strongly to that platform, and major engineering effort is required to deploy it the old-school way.

Those vernacular versions of written Chinese always existed, but they had very little prestige compared to the Classical Chinese (文言文) mainly used by the imperial bureaucracy, which was based on literature from the Han dynasty and earlier.

The origins of Standarddeutsch trace back to Martin Luther's bible translation that exposed a huge audience to a very important text, which was most importantly also written to be approachable to that audience. The German dialect it us

There is Luxembourgish, which is basically the local dialect codified as one of the official languages of Luxembourg. It's otherwise perfectly understandable for people from adjacent parts of Belgium and Germany. But I guess the locals

Hong Kong is a special case where English still has higher prestige to begin with. Locals sometimes code-switch to English even if everyone present would understand Cantonese.

The "navy and army" argument is usually employed when the question arises whether something is a dialect or a separate language. IMHO such Creoles should also be classified as languages, with the caveat of dialect continuums. Creo

Most of the lowercase Cyrillic letters are just smaller version of the uppercase ones. And neither the German nor the Russian alphabet is larger to any extent that matters. CJKV languages are a bit more subtle subject. Vietnamese nowadays u

Chinese text takes up about as much disk space as English text though. The high number of Hanzi translates to a high semantic content.

Current models can already argued to have something like working memory by storing information in little-used parts of the tokens. If placeholder tokens are handed to them that they can use as working memory, performance improves. https:&#

You have to miniaturize the components and be able to cram billions on a die of a few square centimeters at most. The industry has lots of experience doing that with electronics. Almost none with photonics. The silver lining is that one mig

For that to work, they don't have to be ancient. Just fit enough long enough to be too much of a net burden to the younger generations. The menopause seems to coincide with the age where people used to become grandparents. Furthermore,

That's the next big problem. And there need to be mechanisms to ensure that the network is not poisoned with undesirable input.
