The only problem with that nowadays might be that AI can do all the incantations that formerly acted as gates to contributors.

Maybe not. Sqlite has some kind of hand-written license-agreement waiver procedure.

AU is just as effective as humans at contributing to sqlite: they don't accept contributions.

It's the very definition of a culture war and in addition sadly evidence of limited intelligence. Even the most red blooded oil man wouldn't do this because this data is also useful for petroleum drilling and logistics - it's a whole other kind of person driving this.

In this day and age I suspect many environmental and health NGOs are going silent to mitigate backlash.

In Down and Out in Paris and London he is very clear that he comes from some privilege and also that he actually lived the experiences he wrote about. He can't write it from the pov of somebody doing it for decades with no other option but he is explicit that he can't do that.

1984 in particular is well worth a read right now. I read it at age 47 and it's not in the same vein as On the Road.

Kind of is. The point of fiction is to speculate. Judging the characters is fine but the commenter above almost seems to take it personally that the characters are morally ambiguous people - but that's what fiction is meant to explore.

Sort of - if it's determined that somebody bypassed a safety control they can just make the control firmer and fire that person and move onto other things. If it's some fundamental flaw in the engine design that could set them back months/years.

There's another comment that it wasn't the weld but even if it was the welders would build to spec and "better" (if it's known what better is) only if it's straightforward. There are certainly scenarios where a fabricator could design a better jig or use a more precise process but if the spec doesn't call for it then it's probably not going to happen because there are also the dimensions of time and money that matter as well.

Rockets are hard for sure but also almost nobody notices if there's a minor bug in your delivery app that causes it to crash every once in a while - but it can matter alot if there's a microscopic crack in a rocket engine that makes it blow up. Defect rate might be the same but the (literal) blast radius is much higher.

minified is fewer tokens than the human-readable version that we would write. It only really makes sense to write in minified js - it's also where alot of code in the wild is since every production site minifies their js which is then consumed by training.
