I'd wager we will start to see more web apps like this have greater obfuscation and dependencies on operating on a particular domain. Sure AI can help to circumvent many things, but at a certain point they pay-off may not be worth the effort.

Specialist software on the otherhand. I get that. Its the same reasonw hy I have a macboom for academic work and Windows for other work. Vendors not building across ecosystems is frustrating, though presumably thats due to tooling lock in.
The second issue is one of migration between skill sets. By the numbers, today is likely harder as non Ai-affected skilled professions take longer to train into in a general sense.
The third is the synthesis of AI and robotics. Humanoid help is good. As the Venn diagram overlap of capabilities between humans and humanoid robots increases, many professions defined by complex vision and environmental manipulation that are currently safe will not be.
There are, of course, upsides. But the world is right to wonder what the future looks like, and where people fit within that future in terms of earning an income if whatever path they choose seems to be able to be replaced by a machine within their lifetime. How do they achieve personal stability and safety if, even when thinking about their multitude of career options, the machines are so good that they can do almost anything.
Yes people will lazy their way out of it. Many of us program, but few of us ever bothered to learn, with fluency, assembly. Those who wanted to did, and those who didnt stuck to higher level languages.
Now you and I know rather differently, but those places are still going through their own 'journey of discovery' when it comes to animal intelligence and social benefit.
The above said, I'd have not expected a Finnish researcher to be one making such a 'new' discovery as Finnish culture does include extensive animal husbandry and dog/horse culture.
If model members were available, with all the usual measures, thats a fantastic place to start looking at serious inclusion. It doesnt seem thats the case, however.
Im an environmental scientist and engineer with substantial disaster management and policy experience.
One or two very large events can totally eclipse the cost to economy of reducing emissions and focussing on long term stable low emission power. Those very large events are becoming more common. A couple of years back we ran a multi jurisdictional exercise about a high end cyclone hitting the local major city. Even with 4 days warning there was insufficient time to evacuate the entire population of several million, and rehousing was an almost unsolvable nightmare. That city is not cyclone ready or hardened, but the climate models enable high category events travelling where they were previously quite unlikely.
Im Australian, so it also means droughts, water restrictions, and significant increases in bushfire number and severity after a few years of drought. Drought followed by cyclone, or bulk rain events causes catastrophic flooding. Its a shit show.
Going on what the poster above says about CPU and memory - if the network speed or bandwidth allocation is the bottleneck, then trading CPU and memory utilisation increases for lower bandwidth is likely acceptable. If, however, the device is low end and tying up memory and CPU with compression would lead to sluggish or impaired task performance but the network has adequate overhead for lower levels of compression or higher levels of data transfer then higher network utilisation would be preferable.
Different tools, different use case scenarios.
Client -- Relay Server -- Host
That's certainly less than ideal since many remote desktop session will not be using a middle-age server but rather be direct between client and host.
The model is presumably aiming for an acceptable visual representation, not trying to produce z-ordered components and a lost of any other random requirement people might come up with. The task is to show a pelican riding a bike, not produce a technical design that is layer order correct, after all.

> Near leg: from (300,245) to (356,408): thigh+shin as a single slightly bent line: M300,245 C 310,320 330,370 354,406. Stroke #F2953F width 12, linecap round. Far leg: from (320,250) to (404,452): M320,250 C 350,330 385,410 402,448. Stroke slightly darker #E0802F (behind, drawn before near leg but after bike? Pelican legs are in front of frame? Pelican is drawn after bike, so legs overlap the frame. The far leg ideally would be behind the frame, but in flat cartoon this is acceptable — or draw the far leg before the pelican body but after bike; overlaps the red frame.
