Developers can sell those keys outside of Steam and they are redeemable for a copy of the game on your Steam library.

See you in ten years! We're a hop, skip and a jump from one click automated conversion from every legacy Java app to web and electron desktop compatible code and we can just retire Java entirely. in 2025, Java is not the most performa

"Everything just works together" is, on its own, a single use case.

Rest in peace. "The Princess Bride" is a really fun, unique and beautiful piece of art that my wife and I revisit all the time. Nobody deserves to go like this and he'll be missed.

Maybe Perl is more powerful than I've ever given it credit for.

You're downvoted but you're right. I give it less than 10 years before Firefox is relegated to a SourceForge download. Firefox has almost the same usage stats as "Samsung Internet", which is just the default browser on

The more I've thought about it the RAM part is hardly the craziest bit. Where the fuck do you even buy a computer with less than 4 cores in 2025? Pawn shop?

Double-posting so I'm sorry but the more I read this the less it makes sense. The parent reply was talking about data that was straight-up not available via the API, how does perl help with that?

No, and in case you stopped reading partway into my comment, this type of useless gotcha counts under Redditor crap. I don't think it's controversial that understanding something is a pathway to criticizing it appropriately. The a

Not being judgmental. :) I've started a few sites and I always think about stuff like this, especially with e.g. IO domains being subject to reclamation by the countries that manage the TLDs. Seems like MOBI is a bit more secure being

Everybody's experience is different. I've found experientially that anybody who can actually define and describe these things with any degree of seriousness is, at least, aware of the resource constraints that make up the real wor

This is probably just a parallel discussion. I written plenty of successful web scrapers without LLM's, but in the last couple years, I've written a lot more where I didn't need to look at the web markup for more than a few s

I don't know what the SOTA is especially because these types of filters get expensive, but it's definitely plausible if you have the capital, it just requires spinning up a real browser environment of some kind. I know from experi

isn't it ridiculous? This is hacker news. Nobody with the spare time to post here is living on the street. Buy some RAM or rent it. I can't believe honestly how many people on here I see bemoaning the fact that they haven't u

Disappear might be an extremely strong word here, but yeah as you said as the delta closes between what a human user and an AI user are able to interpret from the same text, it becomes good enough for some nines of cases. Even if on paper i

A lot of software engineering is recognizing the limitations of the domain that you're trying to work in, and adapting your tools to that environment, but thank you for your contribution to the discussion. EDIT: I hemmed and hawed abou

Is there any reason they are unpopular other than they don't have much momentum and it kind of sucks to type? I think they are cheap domains but have avoided them for the assumption that they just don't get the SEO of a .com

I'm not sure it would work in either case anymore. for better or worse, LLMs make it a lot easier to determine whether text is hidden explicitly through CSS attributes, or implicitly through color contrast or height/overflow trick
381.
by llbbdd 10mo ago
Yeah APIs exist because computers used to require very explicitly structured data, with LLMs a lot of the ambiguity of HTML disappears as far as a scraper is concerned.

Painfully true and somehow it's everywhere on this forum. To these people, capitalism and markets and money are all the same thing, and the only finite resources in the universe are those whose distribution is gatekept by the evil, evi

I couldn't believe this but I see other threads on the Internet from over a year ago complaining that Firefox can't handle the backdrop blur filter performantly at all. Chrome has no issue; I had to squint to even figure out what

I'm convinced. :) I've got some time to kill in transit later today, maybe time to think about my setup a bit.

I tried this for a little while and couldn't really get passionate about it; I have too many other backlogged projects that I was eager to tear into with LLMs and I got impatient. That was a while ago though and the ROI for building my

I won't blame Azure directly without a direct reason to, but as a developer often in the market for cloud providers it's definitely not the most reassuring that they're seemingly having so many migration pains. A bit of an as

Yikes, that's worse, I thought the migration was at least a little politically motivated to reduce a dependency on a competitor like AWS or something. It's not exactly a great advertisement in any case to know that bare metal was

Oof, I was already considering an upgrade from the M1 but was hoping I couldn't be convinced to go for the top of the line. Is the performance jump from the M# -> M# Max chips that substantial?

I can't say I'm not tempted looking at the Spark, I could probably save some cash on heating my house with that thing. Though yeah unless there's some good software already built around a similar LLM workflow I could use it&#

Thank you, a bit sad to hear that local inference isn't really at this level of performance yet. I was previously using the VSCode agent chat and playing with both OpenAI and Github hosted models but I switched to using the Github web
