I'm sure the record standing so long is partially down to the fact the mile isn't run at major championships, although the middle distances like 800m and 1500m are more of an open field and not dominated by East Africans like longer distances such as 5k and 10k (Josh Kerr is already an Olympic silver medallist, finishing behind a white American and ahead of an Ethiopian-American).
I think agents will get much better at solving these problems in the medium term. In the short term you should at least be observing what the agent is doing when vulnerabilities like this are so easy to create. Using AI to generate structured RPA tasks like with browsable.app or director.ai is still a better option for now for many tasks
They made $4 billion last year, not really "little to no money". I agree it's not clear they can justify their valuation but it's certainly not a bubble.
How do people integrate steps on websites/web scraping into their larger workflows? I’m looking to try and integrate my own browser RPA tool [1] into n8n but I’m not sure how useful it is.
Notably not an AI agent like Operator, Manus, etc. which are largely unreliable for the time being. Instead this uses AI to turn your task into something repeatable and configurable.
Currently focusing on scraping use cases but hope to make it more powerful soon so it can actually do complex tasks rather than just extracting data.
It's RPA for browsers which is not fundamentally new, what I'm trying to do that is new is use AI to make it as easy as possible to create automations. Most of the existing tools require you to locate CSS selectors, XPaths, etc. whereas this is just point, click, type, describe data you want to extract in English, etc.
Still early days and it works much better for some tasks/websites than others but it's improving rapidly and I'm quite excited about it.
Also hoping that the likes of OpenAI Operator, etc. are rolled out in a way that I can use them to build a better product rather than being runover by them.
Just been playing around with the bounding box feature myself - do you mind sharing how you figured out how to translate the bounding boxes back to the correct dimensions/position on the original image?
I would say things are worse but it's difficult to disentangle it from the other major events like Covid and the war. Also worth pointing out that the UK's economic stagnation began well before Brexit and goes back to the 2008 crash: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvPzCWYXwAEoIRu?format=jpg&name=....
As someone who supports Brexit, I always thought there would be greater costs in the short term but getting out of institutional structure of the EU would be beneficial long term, as long as we take advantage of the institutional freedom and try to get onto a different path as a country (investing heavily in science and technology, having a more rational approach to regulation, having an immigration system that attracts great talent while also controlling the borders and thus making the whole thing less toxic).
I haven't overall changed my view as the EU still seems to be on a very bad path as I see it, I can't say I'm hugely optimistic about the UK either though. There are glimmers of hope like the new ARIA institution for blue sky science, but the main political parties are a pretty depressing spectacle.
Same as another commenter, I try to make it a habit of either referencing documentation when I need to answer a question or making a note to fill it in when I can't find a reference.
For searching documentation there's a lot to be desired too so I'll make a shameless plug for my side project: https://neat.wiki. It's a simple wiki creator on top of Google Drive but I'm layering on some GPT-3 goodness for semantic search and question answering so you can always find what you're looking for.
BuiltWith.com is pretty much just one guy doing over $10m per year. At the notch below there are others like Pieter Levels who I think is doing over $1m per year with Nomad List and RemoteOK and I think it's mostly just him with some part time help. Probably a few more that no one has heard of.
I'm still getting absolute position output with auto-layout - it seems to be a mix of both.
Yes the current public version of Pygma is no good - I've just been heads down trying to get the complete version working and haven't really been attending to the current plugin.
Nice work in that the output looks pretty close and it's super convenient to open it in CodeSandbox. Unfortunately it still has the same issue as all other plugins that try to do this in that the code is nothing like how it would be written by a developer and isn't responsive.
Anyone reading this whose looking for the holy grail solution of Figma to code that's written like a developer wrote it, I'm working on this (should be ready soon!) and would love to talk to you - please email me on [email protected] (note that the current public version isn't very good and suffers from the same problems as all the others).
In case you're using Google docs/drive for docs at the moment, I've built https://neat.wiki for precisely this purpose. If it's documentation for code there are better options though.
I haven't used it but it seems to be: less powerful search, no public wikis, no custom domains. Also, I personally don't like their design but maybe that's just me.
Looks cool, going to try it out when you release the Figma version. One advice would be raise your prices - if it's worth paying for at all then you should charge a lot more than $8 / year.
Not directly relevant to your use case but I've built something that does what you ask from a Google Drive: https://neat.wiki (might be relevant since Google Drive is so widely used).
Identifying the elements within a GUI image (e.g. this is a button, that's an input field, etc.). I want this myself for a tool I'm building to turn Figma designs into code but it's also useful for things like automated testing. There are a bunch of papers on this already but no good public version that I can find. Probably companies like UIPath already have a sophisticated version of this internally. If you could do this and turn it into an API it would be quite valuable I think.
