God, can we just kill the semantic web stuff already? It's like a bizarre religion that won't die.
By the time the web is finally "semantic" and everything is marked up appropriately, we'll have AIs that just infer the semantics and don't need all the meticulous tagging.
- aylmao 4y agoDoing whatever we want and just hoping AI will eventually fix the mess it is also how we got sub-par public transport but billions invested in self-driving cars.
- habitue 4y agoI mean, the semantic web had a good try. The farce has been going on for 25 years now, it had its chance. meanwhile, yes, google does have to use AI to figure out webpages because the semantic web is a failure.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoSome people even tried RDF and triplestores to structure metadata and separate from presentation. XSLT was supposed to become an almost universal presentation layout language/transformation language. Nawh, we have REST APIs, ORMs, and HTML and JSX templates that present rendered views devoid of data and logic behind them.
- ironmagma 4y agoA lot more money has been invested in public transport. Turns out, running buses and trains all the time gets expensive.
- aylmao 4y agoI don't doubt billions have been invested in public transport. I also don't doubt those billions have been (and will continue to be) more cost-effective than the billions invested in self-driving cars.
- akira2501 4y agoIt's overly semantic.. but the core /document/ semantic outlining does seem useful to me, particularly when I started having to take accessibility into account when designing applications and pages. I will spend time considering if something other than a <div> is more appropriate for an element. I'm not going to spend very much time pondering the difference between <b> and <mark>.
