This is still a hard problem today. Some hard tech was built for this. I'm excited for a world where this is more accessible and less hardcore than something like CRDTs (in terms of accessibility).
How have others noticed the world shifting in the past 6 years?
There were some additional posts regarding the topic by same guy.

Innovators like him, are very rare.

Curious why you copy/paste your previous comments verbatim[1]. I was reading it and could have sworn I have read that exact comment before and was thinking it's dejavu.
maybe an automated bot

This is not going to happen any time soon. The acquisition cost and ongoing maintenance issues alone limit the practical market of home robots to a tiny segment of the market.
As neat as the idea sounds, the practicalities and edge cases keep this in the science fiction category right now and for the foreseeable future.
It took less than 20 yrs for roomba's, things have to start somewhere.

If I were to spend $10,000 on cleaning, I think I'd prefer to have 100 weeks of a human cleaner that can vacuum, scrub, climb stairs, etc.
But, I take the point that more and more of these tasks will be automated more effectively in the coming decade.
Isn't the plan of automation to let humans free at any cost? Like it happened with computers and relief from bureaucracy. First printers costed 20k, still there are 20k printers but way more powerful, the first series now are in homes under $100. It will take time to get cheap.

Reductive, equivocation that can rationalize any travesty because other people are doing it too. That's the shittiest take possible.
When or who tells the end of it? To what extent. Don't sanitize just where you live. You will need to keep the entire world clean. It's not fair when it is ok just for you.
Is this what you mean? https://chatgpt.com/share/6895632c-fb58-800e-b287-b7a98ad64d...
that was smooth

We are expecting a moment like when sublime was born. Sidebar map, concurrent cursors, blazing speed.
Right now its all monetization at gravity. As if companies are ready to pour software developer salaries in tools.
I imagine beginners will not have gpu rich environments and AI will not reach mainstream as traditional development did, unless something happens, idk what.
Right now, seniors love the complexity and entry barrier to it, so they can occupy the top of the food chain. History has proven that that does not last long.
In some scenarios as airtable, AI is replacing docs and customer support, eleminating the learning curve.

AI is coming for us all, I’m not attacking, I’m simply stating the hubris in the statements pulled directly from their website.
Ok, humans have sentimental approach to information, we are not machines as you imply. Similar statement in a launch of a volunteer project is considered attack.
Many of the things they add, or that other things are replaced with, are seems to just mostly benefit Google (and sometimes Cloudflare), rather than actually helping you. This is true of the new Web Authentication systems as much as with other things. (And, they seem to want to make you use bloated JavaScripts even if neither the author nor reader want to do.)
> in 2025 Google announces a change in their Chrome Root Program Policy that within 2026 they will stop supporting certificate with an Extended Key Usage that includes any usage other than server
I agree that Google should not have done that, but it is often more useful to use different certificates for clients anyways.
While I think XML is generally not as good as other formats (I think DER is generally better), it works better than some other formats for some things. This is not a reason to get rid of XSLT though; it is useful. There are other reasons to not require it (e.g. to simplify implementations, but they are currently too complicated mainly due to the newer stuff instead anyways), but that does not mean that it cannot be used, that it cannot be implemented, etc. (For example, a static site generator might convert XML+XSLT to HTML if you need it while also providing the original XML+XSLT files to anyone who wants them, therefore making server-side and client-side working.)
