IP bans are fundementally flawed since you can't assume a static IP in the vast majority of cases anymore, if you rely on an IP blocklist then it's inevitable that you will end up hurting the experience of small amount of unlucky

Yes the latency is not nearly as bad as you might think, it's comparable to a VPN in my experience, though the quality will depend on your location and the available connections. Sophisticated cheats in games like CSGO (and other compe

Not at the expense of false positives, though. Sophisticated cheat developers and bot creators are skilled at exploiting that narrow margin of error where companies can't push detection further without compromising the experience for l

This still leaves you wide open to cheaters using mobile data tethering and proxies. Have you considered more advanced network analysis? It's one of the areas I have an interest in (professionally and personally) so if you want any sug

This looks more like CUDA over IP or am I missing something?

A list and tuple are not the same thing. There could be reasons to require a list explicitly but I couldn't really think of any obvious ones which is why I asked.

by ghxst 2y ago
Why would you do this over `return key, value` which produces a tuple? Just curious.

That's good to know, will try it out. I haven't had many cases of "broken" html in projects where I use lxml but when they do happen it can definitely be a pain.

What kind of proxies are on your road map, do you have any experience with in-house proxy networks?

IO between humans and websites can be broken down to only a few fundamental pieces (or elements I should say). This is actually where AI has a lot of opportunity to add value as it has the capability of significantly reducing the possibilty

In python specifically I like lxml (pretty sure that's what BS uses under the hood?), parse5 if you're using node is usually my go to. Ideally though you shouldn't really have to parse anything (or not much at all) when doing

Cool service but how will you deal / how do you plan to deal with anti scraping and anti bot services like Akamai, Arkose, Cloudflare, DataDome etc.? Automation of the web isn't solved by another playwright or puppeteer abstractio

Does this actually occur with real or high-value targets? I'm genuinely curious, as I can only envision this happening with smaller side projects. However, I'd be interested to hear any stories of encountering this in the wild. It

I've never heard of this "peanut cake" but am very interested, does it taste horrible or what's the reasons that it's not sold for humans to eat?

Very interesting read. Is there a way to sandbox apps and send user input to them in parallel? I'm using docker to containerize apps to set up end 2 end tests but it would be nice if this was possible without containerizing.

Great question, also situations where you have multiple CTAs with similar names/contexts on a page is still something I see LLM based automation struggle with.

Is there a small writeup available somewhere about this? I like the idea.

Could you elaborate?

Just want to say I love how simple yet effective this explanation is. Can I ask what age range your kids are in and do they understand this perspective enough that they are aware of it and take steps to avoid it?

Not just geohot but AMD has a really amazing opportunity here to work with many other talented engineers that are more than willing to put resources into this if they had good documentation and tools to work with, it's really puzzling

I don't see how a robots.txt itself would be legally binding, but I guess you could make an argument for the terms of service? Would love to know more about this as well.

That's why we would want it to run locally! Think about a fully personalized model that can work out some simple tasks / code while you're going out for groceries, or potentially more complex tasks while you're sleeping.

I agree with this broadly speaking, I wasn't necessarily asking for a shortcut or way to undermine it, more just of a way of demonstrating this ability assuming you have it.

At the company I currently work at we are open to look at GitHub activity as a good indicator, this might work for some candidates but definitely not all.

Being skilled is only part of being a good employee, I think it's fair to look at a degree as an indication that someone is able to commit to something long term etc but of course I have to assume there's a way for people without

Are there alternatives to demonstrate those qualities to the equivelance of a degree to you? Just wondering if all else is equal what could people without a degree look to add to their resume to benefit from in these situations.

Forigve me since I am not from the US but are these areas where you naturally have a lot of geothermal activity? Or could this be done in many other parts of the world? Or maybe a broader question is how will these projects differ from the
