  Yes, I'm very pleased that I got to use "'tweren't" in a sentence. The full phrase, for other logophiles' delectation, was "tweren't always thus" BTW.

  @glent Agreed. Wikipedia culture is shit, somewhere between Reddit and MAGA and in much the same ways. They don't need more funding and won't get any from me until they actually spend some energy fighting disinformation. As it is, they seem to spend all of their energy fighting over who gets to be the worst pedant on the internet, with a point system based on abusing new users (including actual subject-matter experts).

  Do any of the AI code assistants help significantly with *reading* code, instead of writing it? Not sure why I care, since I have no interest in either AI or coding at this point, but it seems like a bigger net win than letting it write code that then needs *deep* scrutiny before it can be deemed safe. Just curious I guess.
