Not always. It's better to say that "military grade" means "very specific standards".
That also happens to translate to cheap pretty often, but that's because someone in 1943 wrote the specification for The Standard Tube Sock and ordered 7,500,000,000 pairs to be delivered over the next century. Since it's precisely specified you know exactly how much you can skimp.
Add that to the trillion pages of compatability requirements and you're basically never updating anything.
Like how switching lightbulb brands at a nuclear power plant is hard because you need documentation demonstrating that the plastic in the led won't become a hazard in a radioactive incident.

    That's not specific. What did he say? Where? When? Citation?

    As far as I can tell, he took a 4 day vacation in 2011, and then played a role in a movie filmed there in 2012. He said he enjoyed the food and had a nice visit.
    Is that what you're extrapolating from?

    What, specifically, did he say or do to support them? And what was the state of the situation at the time that he said it?

    If you're going to call someone "disgusting scum" you should have something more than a screenshot of a title posted by someone you think is a "terrible person".

    I believe the subject of this post is him appreciating Israel for their hospitality while filming something. He said something to the effect of enjoying the food and culture.

    Polite fluff that I think literally any public figure would say while being a guest in a country.

    In my experience that's only been the case for functionally non-unique software.

    At my job we write software that's effectively unique. There isn't a pattern to fall back on.
    It makes a lot more mistakes very frequently, since the nature of it keeps trying to guide it to the known path. It's great for debugging since the manner that some check failed is chasing through known logic, and it doesn't matter that it doesn't see the existing code as probable or fitting a known pattern if the shape of a switch statement is still the same.

    In my personal projects I've even run into issues getting it to do stuff like vulkan synchronization barriers in a way that doesn't continuously devolve into what you see in tutorials, with an ultimately unstructured pile of adhoc resource allocation and barriers.

    You can't really be saying "haven't fired a single shot" in response to a thread on multiple failed assassination attempts.

    Also about the only context I can think of where people are saying Americans don't have enough gun violence.

    Yeah, I totally get that sign language is a real language.
    It's that I don't expect a dictionary to have the same level of precision as a medical dictionary or encyclopedia. It similarly talks about kidneys as a pair of organs on the right and left of the abdomen, and the liver as a large organ in the upper abdomen.
    No mention that the kidneys are made of nephrons, their connection to the bladder or role regulating osmotic equilibrium.

    Sure, like I said: I know the anatomy. It's lacking in clinical precision, but it describes what people mean when they say clitoris, which is the glans.

    If someone says to rub their clitoris they're not asking you to rub their labia majora. (They might appreciate it but it's not what their asking)

    Alright, so I fully know about the extent of the anatomy and physiology of the clitoris , but I'm struggling to see a way that this is outdated.
    Lacking in clinical precision sure, but it's not like it's describing as a vestigial nub that may offset hysteria.

    I don't particularly agree with that stance. In terms of what I'm dealing with in the game, there's really no difference between the developer asking an AI to make an asset filter and them knowing they need to Google kuwahara image abstraction .

    When it comes to making an asset, I care that someone thought about what it should look like. Having it generate the asset is just hitting shuffle until you stop. Having it build the filter or tool is no different than finding a tool or filter and then using it to make the asset.
