    100% this. I am using the open source Ui.vision to automate some business tasks. Works well, but only 10% of the work is for automating the main workflow, 90% of the work goes into…

    "there’s not much left to innovate" ??? Totally disagree. Just one example: Tesla has only two global mass market models (3+Y). There is plenty of room to innovate on this topic al…

    Wow, what a click-baity misleading headline. Key point is that this number is going down: "The big news is that more and more people are opting to trade their Teslas for an EV from…

    (1) AI: What you said is all correct, but there are some positive steps as well, for example ELLIS: https://ellis.eu/ ELLIS is a great way to compete with the top US universities. …

    If browser extensions could access the local LLMs - Now THAT would be a very cool feature. Imagine what (test) automation extensions like Selenium IDE or Ui.vision could do then. O…

    What has a "German copyright cease and desist" to do with privacy, or the lack of privacy? And who is "them"? A few sources and details instead of just ranting would be useful.

    Ui.Vision dekstop automation is cross-platform works on Linux and macOS (and Windows). It is not exactly the same, though.

    Wow, Twitter is collapsing much faster than I expected. With PG and some other high-profile accounts gone, many will loose interest in their Twitter feed fast. Rinse and repeat.

    Why? FSD even in its current state will save lives. Think of it as driver-assist on steroids.

    I'd rather pay with Bitcoin/ETH/xx than using Mastercard. Currently 1-2 big US companies have ALL my payment data, they know everything about my life. Is this good? Privacy is the …

    Yes! Recording xpath works fine in many cases, but once something on the website changes you are left with this auto-generated Xpath that you do not know how to change. Maintaining…

    I hate XPaths with a passion. They are powerful but a waste of time. The easiest solution is to use visual automation tools like UI Vision (web browser) or Sikuli (desktop). There …
