After trying a bunch of fancy frameworks and platforms I ended up doing exactly this - a static site with alpinejs and tailwind. It has been by far the best decision I've ever made. And the best thing is I'm confident any new dev will be able to pick up my 100 line build file and grok it in about 3min. No matter whether they're react, angular, PHP or python folks - it's dead simple and I love it.
My build system is cat!
I think the sentence "With the advent of large language model-based artificial intelligence, semantic HTML is less important now than ever." is far more defensible. The semantic web has failed and what replaced it was Google spending a crap ton of money writing a variety of heuristics equipped with best-of-breed-at-the-time AI behind it. As AI improves, it improves its ability to extract information from any ol' slop, and if "any ol' slop" is enough, it's all the effort people are going to put out. Eventually in principle both the semantic web and that pile of heuristics are entirely replaced by AI.
(Note also my replacement of LLM with the general term AI after my first usage of LLM. LLMs are not the whole of "AI". They are merely a hot branch right now, but they are not the last hot branch. It is not a good idea to project out the next several decades on the assumption that LLMs will be the last word in AI.)

The halting theory is analogous to Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and these are fundamental truths to any system. That matrix multiplication that deep learning does is hardly immune to that.
They are fundamental truths to systems based on certain assumptions we are taking for granted, e.g. binary logic (and not e.g. quantum logic), Turing-like computing model etc. Not that deep learning has anything to do with those, but it excels in human-like properties where simple formula-derived math descriptions fail all the time.
Humans are also limited by the Turing model’s limits, we can only ever determine computable functions as well. With all due respect, it is stupid to assign more capabilities to ML than what we know is fundamentally the limit..
I used to think the answer was "pretty difficult," but I haven't come up with anything better. Maybe there is something to be done with indentation - but that has it's own challenges.
Two questions: 1. How easy styling of these elements is? 2. What about browser support. Do all major browsers support them?
HTML is the solution to walled-garden lock-in? What? Those walled gardens already use HTML, including some of the semantic elements mentioned (plus ARIA semantic attributes, which are much more sophisticated). > ChatGPT-like interfaces are likely the future of human data access. And the whole point of artificial intelligence systems is that they don't require specialized "machine-readable" annotations in order to pro…
I don't require a cup to hold my drink. That doesn't make cups useless or undesirable.
Point being: if a machine can make sense of the veritable clusterfuck that is the "pile of infinitely-nested divs" status quo, then surely it'd have a much easier time making sense of pages that actually use HTML properly. If you're an AI trying to figure out how far along something is, which is gonna be a more obvious indicator?

tl;dr - this article and discussion is a confused waste of time.
ugh I was so excited to see pure HTML modals were a thing with only to find out there's no way of triggering them without JavaScript. Using pure HTML you can only dismiss them, not trigger them. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3567 > dialog elements are a great addition and I'm glad they're getting implemented, but a key part of their functionality relies on JavaScript: to open a you need to use JavaScript to s…

I am 100% sure that parent poster was being sarcastic at the hype around LLMs and how many think they can solve everything, even if said thing is impossible to do, e.g. the halting problem. Do note that the halting problem is fundamentally true, no AGI will realize some new way around, unless are mathematics are flawed to the core.
There is some nuances here. While the general halting problem for a general Turing machine is undecidable, and with a fairly easy to understand proof as well, the computers we run today are not a general Turing machine. They are of a weaker class called Linear Bounded Automatons and for the programs they can run, the halting problem is fact decidable, on a theoretical level due to their finite nature. So we will prob…
hailstone :: Integer -> Integer
hailstone n

It is very telling that you still can't build more sophisticated forms declaratively in HTML/CSS.
After decades everyone seems to be cranking out their own custom made forms with various levels of JavaScript added.
