Yeah, cookies, account logins, and other stuff make it hard too. Ex: randomly exploring gmail emails at different times of day, but not actually marking emails as read.
Psychology. Ever see ring doorbell footage where the owner says "drop the package" and people do? Its not like the owner could do anything, but for some reason it makes people behave differently.
Don't forget the fully fledged remote desktop thats built in, WebVR (which is being replaced with Web XR), Web Bluetooth, Web USB (aka Web Serial), the API's for notifications, ambient light sensors, an entire transactional database (indexed DB), the language translation API, the Gamepad API (videogame controllers), hardware passkeys (yubikey), speech to text, text-to-speech, webGL, webGPU, webworkers, service workers, an entire suite of cryptography tools, GPS location, battery, vibration, FileSystem API, picture-in-picture API, WebRTC, WebSensors, etc.
And then, on top of all that, building a miniture OS-kernel so that tasks can be sandboxed scheduled/executed and prevent 1 tab from crashing everything or hogging resources.
To back up what you're saying, I work with ML, and the guy next to me does ML for traffic signal controllers. He basically established the benchmark for traffic signal simulators for reinforcement learning.
Nothing works. All of the cutting edge reinforment algorithms, all the existing publications, some of which train for months, all perform worse than "fixed policy" controllers. The issue isn't the brains of the system, its the fact that stoplights are fricken blind to what is happing.
If you paid a true professional to sit down 1-on-1 with you everyday for 6 months, and you are good at learning I think yes, for most but not all software positions. But unless you're forking over $200k I don't think any professional dev is going to do that for you.
Ever since the accidental event that was interpreted as war, no not the one in 1957, not the one in 1958, or the other one in 1958, not the one in the 60's or 70's. The one in the 80's. No not that one, the other one in the 80's. Yeah that one. Anyways, ever since that one happened and triggered nuclear armageddon there hasn't been much activity at all. Give it another couple millennia and maybe more complex organisms will roam the earth again.
Cool, this is exactly what I was hoping to learn but couldn't find. It sounds like its still a pretty manual process, but thats okay. If thats how it is righ now, then thats exactly what I want to know.
I'm considering making tools (GUI local app, but also website AUTH frontend/backend tooling) to try and make systems like this more commonplace and standardized. I didn't know about revocation keys, so I'm glad I heard about that before trying to build my own.
