Please respond to the actual concern, you cut out the entirely relevant part of his comment. Are you just trying to say you love React, Node, Java - cause that's what it sounds like you're saying which has nothing to do with his concern over ML to enhance tracking, etc.. If you think the tracking, etc.. has been getting better since 2006, then it clearly means you're advocating it. That or you just didn't read the full comment?

No. He (or she) is saying that he (or she) has finally found "Linux on the Web", and he (or she) has seen the light. Seriously though... my baby is starting to come alive. I've been banging away on it since 2012. The above phrase should allow you to find it if you know about modern search practices :) We can start putting ML frameworks galore in LOTW, and have it all start being in service of the people. Or how about this... a return to GOFP (Good Ol' Frickin' Programming)... possibly using numbered lines and goto statements, like we did back in the day, copying fun little snippets into the old TRS-80! (LOTW is a new kind of client side paradigm. Actually, it is a return to the same old paradigm of something I would call "immediate mode programming", where all of the resources are simply right there in front of you. There is just a little bit of help from our friends who build and maintain the back-end infrastructure to allow all of the resources to get conveniently shipped in.)

If you think the tracking, etc.. has been getting better since 2006, then it clearly means you're advocating it. Tracking is far better now than it was in 2006, and I say that as someone who is hugely against tracking. We have the Do Not Track header, which a lot of companies actually pay attention to, we have much better privacy plugins and ad-blockers (privacy badger, u-block origin, pi-hole, etc), and we have a growing consensus that tracking isn't actually that effective which seems to be pushing some companies to try alternative models in their advertising revenue, and their ad spend on the other side. Things are better.

  For the average user, against the larger players in the market?

  This is not true, tracking is more prevalent than ever. Legislation and public backlash have forced service providers to ask before they track. However, advancements in ML and commoditization of big data engineering solutions have made it easier than ever for more events to be tracked and more accurate profiling to be possible.

It was not really relevant. It could be anything that's new, webassembly for example, or some new WebGL framework... > Are you just trying to say you love React, Node, Java... No stack I advocate in particular. I'm trying to say that the web is a wonderful platform and I hope it will stay for a very-very long time. For the client side ML libraries, I don't think it makes sense to use it for tracking. You can already extract information with a high accuracy. Tracking is a natural consequence of money flowing into the industry and tracking can be achieved with high accuracy. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but at least we can do something about it.
