    The way we plan to handle authenticated sessions is through a secret management service with the ability to ping an endpoint to check if the session is still valid, and if not, run…

    Why is it unethical when courts have repeatedly affirmed browser automation to be legal and permitted? If anything, it's unethical for companies to dictate how their customers can …

    I mentioned this in another comment, but I know from experience that it's impossible to reliably differentiate bots from humans over a network. And since the right to automate brow…

    Thanks! Wasn't familiar with Browserless but took a quick look. It seems they're very focused on the scraping use case. We're more focused on the agent use case. One of our first c…

    Oops! We tested the Oauth flow but forgot to update the email one. Thanks for the heads up, fixing this now.

    Proxies are definitely on our roadmap, but for now it just supports stock Playwright. Thanks for the feedback! I just updated the repo to make it more clear that it's Playwright ba…

    Yep. I used to be the guy responsible for bot detection at Robinhood so I can tell you firsthand it's impossible to reliably differentiate between humans and machines over a networ…

    Last year we launched a project called Psychic that did moderately well on hacker news, but was a commercial failure. We were able to find customers, but none with compelling and o…

    My handwriting is barely legible, even to my self. So I'll stick to Notion, thank you very much.

    Since you didn't include the link I went ahead and searched for it. Is this it? https://github.com/Storia-AI/repo2vec There's been a lot of "chat with your x" projects and the valu…

    Seems like this doesn't solve the problem, it just changes the nature of the problem from a link rot to having a single point of failure. What assurances does perma cc give that it…

    One of the open source vector DBs is probably your best bet. Chroma, weaviate, Qdrant and a few others

    Just ran our deployed cluster through GCP's pricing calculator and it's about $300 USD per month with Llama 2

    Yep. We use LangChain's basic text splitter to chunk the documents and the QA chain to stuff it into the prompt. But AFAIK it doesn't check for context length so that's a piece tha…
