macleginn's complaint was that we haven't even modelled simple behavior and I brought these narrow AI examples as a counter argument since they demonstrate that we can, even complex ones. Domain specific? Yeah, bummer.
Nowhere I have stated this is the clear path to AGI and you are right, we are missing key building blocks. But I feel like there's too much skepticism agains this field while the advancements are not appreciated enough.
I don't know either what will lead there, but I see more and more examples of different networks being combined to achieve more than they are capable of individually.
> companies deploy them to avoid separation of responsibilities and turn every employee into easily replaceable "full-stack developer"
SPA-s are much-much harder to develop if more teams are working on it. So your first sentence makes little sense.
> companies move everything to client-side in order to reduce Amazon bills
This is never the reason why it happens. Seriously? The cost are not saved, just moved around. SPA-s are developed because they could provide a much better UX. As a side benefit, server side development becomes simpler by providing some REST or GraphQL API. You don't want to be in a place where tens of thousands of lines are generated backend side by backend developers.

Or it was that kind of bug report where the reporter made a normal thing sound dangerous. I remember one case when someone suggested that JS should be turned off by default because "arbitrary code execution" :)
Edit: with chrome extensions, I can inject a script tag from any domain to any page. I used that to inject a lib from CDN JS, but recognized it's silly and imported the package instead.
Like plotting an equation to canvas? Editing video? Handling drag and drop events?
I've seen that blog post where a guy demonstrated that many UI elements can be done with CSS, I like that. I try to do that myself as much as I can, but let's not pretend that CSS is a programming language and it can replace ANY JavaScript.
I would just render text to a canvas and use it as a texture in your Three.js scene. That's how I do it in my side project and it works without any extra dependency.
Is that so? Worst case I can imagine is to have the same compiler emit app-firefox.wasm and app-chrome.wasm binaries from the same codebase, but I think this is highly unlikely.
But there probably always will be a safe flag that generates everywhere running binaries.
Regardless of is this a trap or not, it's obvious to me that developers want simplicity and consistency. WA provides both so don't wonder why it's taking off.

9 to 5 engineers don't need to deal with accounting. Really, who the hell cares about double entry bookkeeping? It's frustrating stuff that gets into the way of engineering.
> And worst of all, your feathers will get plucked by people who do, and you may never even realize it.
As someone who has little clue about accounting, what does this even mean? You mean I can be easily ticked by a shady partner?
By the way you are right, my side projects are stuck at the part when I have to ask for money :)
This is the right way. People know interrupting is rude and if you call them out immediately you can just continue. Adding some gesture helps too, like raising the pointing finger :)
You are shooting at one sector of tech (researchers) and expecting innovation from another market focused segment (startups to bio tech firms), not really fair :)
Probably the huge amount of bureaucracy and regulation keeps medical focused IT in its shit pool of separate islands.
Maybe you should campaign for state regulation mandating to create a HMTL / W3 like standard for data sharing that's mandatory to use.
Am I missing something? The article is about AMP. It's fine to dislike it, but your blog content is not displayed via AMP if you do not enable so blocking the Googlebot is totally unreasonable to me.
