You mention selenium, i use Selenium IDE

Its a browser plugin that allows you to record and playback anything that you do in your browser.

https://selenium.dev/selenium-ide/

There is a right-click action to record hovering over a section if it is hidden by css, its a well-known gotcha in wordpress admin listings and other sites that love to hide until you hover over a section.

I've still to look into whether the file format that is saved from selenium ide could be used within a virtual browser like phantomjs or the like.

For direct scraping, i tend to go straight to xpath with dom.

Its far more reliable than trying to get stuff out via regular expressions, that i only use when i need to get a certain part of the node value from a text node.

I used to use php for that, but i wrote my own programming language that uses a library called htmlquery (its a go library)

https://github.com/antchfx/htmlquery

If i have to login, i fake each request with the correct headers. Plenty of libraries around that help with that for every language.
-Toyota is rather conservative with regards to new technology, which IMHO is part of the reason they tend to score very well on all kinds of reliability barometers.

(An almost fanatical devotion to quality and process control being another major factor!)

The answer to this, I would think, would be to have a small part of the company whose soul purpose is to disrupt the larger company. Then Toyota and VW might have built Tesla in house without supply chain worries. When their in-house Tesla-like company proved a success, they could reasonably afford to upend their old supply chain: self-disruption.
My car has a monochrome segmented LCD and physical controls that I can manipulate without looking. My friend’s low res color touch LCD is bad enough, I just know the people building these UIs now unconstrained by the physical DPI would include features that require long careful looks in order to resolve.

The size of the slack channel alludes to the size of the eco-system, and the scale at which Kubernetes is solving not just technical coding problems, but non-technical communication problems
That works the other direction - because of this reason, cars need to have high-end components (in e.g. display resolution) in order to be future proof; because if your phone resolution is horribly obsolete you just replace the phone, but if your car built-in screen is horribly obsolete, then you're still stuck with it. It's unacceptable for a brand new car to use obsolete tech because it won't be replaced any time soon.
Not OP, but there's not much to do about them - best way is to enter manually in the app at the time of purchase or write them down in a notebook and enter them in batch once in a couple days or per week.

If your cash spending is sufficiently small that you don't care much to tracking each cash transaction individually, you can just track money as a category instead of an account - just record an outflow transaction in your bank account when you withdraw.

This is grand, apart from the build quality of the mechanics is ~10 years behind.

Go to a tesla showroom, Look at the doors of the model three. Note that they don't line up.

Look at the paint job, notice that there are bumps and chips, especailly on the edges of the doors. This is on a _demo_ car, stuck in a showroom. these should be perfect.

Even a budget Kia has better build quality than this.

Its not the isolated parts of a car that makes it good, its the whole package. (yes that works both ways. )
First of all there is no need for people to trottle globe needlessly, all Instagram culture and people every person on earth dreaming of seeing same locations as photographed on Instagram is vanity.

French is especially bitchy in that respect since what you learn as formal language will leave out a HUGE part of words and idioms used in everyday interactions.

This used to be a good excuse, but somehow it starts to ring hollow. Ipads are as near indestructible as any hardware I've seen - drop'em, scratch'em, give'em to toddlers to play with. By comparison a car screen kinda lives a sheltered life.
I think you are downplaying how mainstream homeopathy is. I believe CVS has carried homeopathic OTC products for years. And I don't get the impression it particularly bothers most people. If you think the "placebo effect" is a thing, then homeopathy is justified even if the only person who believes in it is the patient. Someone might see this as moral/intellectual rot and corruption, but that seems kind of like a fringe, wild-eyed/haired attitude.
So Toyota and VW are concerned about the other companies, which currently supply their ECU's, having to lay off staff if they (Toyota and VW) switched over to Teslaesque style control modules. REALLY?! I find that laughable on its face.

Last time this happened with Ethereum for example, they split the chain in Ethereum Classic and the "New" Ethereum. Also not an ideal scenario. At least they are transparent/actively working on fixing this issue.

This is not backed up by statistics. Look at life satisfaction or mood-polls. GDP/capita or stuff like that does not tell you how people are actually doing. Even in rich cities like NYC or SF, I did not feel like people had a higher standard of living - unless they were part of the 1%

Yep to put it a different way they seem to be saying that having Spotify running on the same ECU as the driving AI is what puts them 6 years ahead.
It’s still a big deal to the wider auto industry to have an entire supply chain disrupted. Even if that doesn’t mean much to the end consumer when the big car companies switch to off the shelf computing.
Thats just one data point, and for which you could argue that javascript has not one, but two null values: null and undefined.

PHP got (or is getting?) type hinting, while javascript doesn't have such thing (typescript or flow doesn't count). Javascript is event loop based, while PHP is (afaik) request->response based. These days, javascript usually is compiled for web, while PHP just sits there on the server and you can swap out the source files when you upgrade. You could go on and on.
Battery production seems like a problem that can be solved right now with money. VW and Toyota could partner with a 3rd party (like Tesla and Panasonic) and build factories.

Custom silicon seems like a much harder problem for VM/Toyota. Unless a supplier can build something for them I don’t see either company innovating like Tesla. Basically Tesla’s secret sauce is the Tech not the EV components.
I'm confused to when this was built. Because the SVG code looks modern, but some of the games are completely dead MMOs (like Earth & Beyond). Seems to be a mix of early 2000s games and then games from the last couple years.
It has been burned, but the solution was to control the temperature of the car, not be behind by 10 years. Both have pros and cons.

It just usually sucks to pay a lot of money for a car that's so far behind all the cheap devices that I have.
Read further. It roughly translates to "we can't do it because we already invested in a different supply chain strategy that comes with considerable advantages".

Latecomer advantages.
I agree, the article focuses on the "they built their own AI chip" thing a bit too much for my taste. It also doesn't explain why reducing the number of ECUs would upset supply chains to the degree claimed, there is a lot of other stuff that goes into making a car.

Off-topic, but I think you meant "du jour" (of the day) instead of "de jure" (by law) :)

Thanks for the extra info and clarification -- I understand what you're saying a lot better now. Very interesting!
Is it though? When they started development, there was no such chip specialized for NN tasks. NVIDIA chips are more general purpose and uses a lot more power. The FSD chip has an instruction set of around 18 instructions and is highly specialized.

Alcohol might be easier than soap in those cases.
Considering how much money went into the making of the real Tesla, is that really something these big auto-makers could have afforded?
They're also fragile, handle poorly in adverse conditions, and have little excess lifting capacity.

In a world in which heavier-than-air flight becomes less affordable, there might be some niche uses. In general, my sense is that lighter-than-air craft are simply too close to the limits of potential engineering and materials.
I work in an open floor plan where managers frequently shout and have long conversations next to me with each other.

They are indispensable to me now.
Assuming that was the case, it wouldn't surprise me that might have something to do with the reliability of early CDs across a wide range of temperature conditions and use given vibrations, potholes, etc.
Why would someone need an incredibly pixel dense infotainment display in their car anyway? Does it show all the information I need? Does it have an easy to navigate UI? Will it last a long time and be inexpensive to repair or replace if needed? That's all I really care about for a screen that I look at maybe 5% of the time I'm in my car, because for the most part I'm looking at, y'know, the road and cars around me.

It’s both.

Continued improvements to battery tech will bring the costs down for Tesla which is important for them to do if they want to succeed.

Custom hardware and software will also give them cost advantage and help them in the long term.

When was the last time you went and looked? Build quality has improved substantially since first Model 3 deliveries.
Even 10 years ago, normal cars had doors that line up, and proper paint jobs.
The power of marketing is incredible.

No one else could get away with Tesla quality at luxury pricing, but they sell vehicles.
After Tesla's recent secondary offering perhaps they'll hire some experts away from the big automakers and build a new line to automaker standards. Teslas built to Japanese or European fit and finish standards with their already ahead and ever improving electronics would (IMHO) be unbeatable.
This is absolutely false. The new FSD chip is specifically made for Neural net inference tasks. It has a custom instruction set with ~18 instructions. Even before that, they used an NVIDIA Drive PX unit for NN inference.

The in-car entertainment system is run on a separate Intel Atom based computer. The ECU controlling the car itself is completely separate from both of these. You can reboot the main display of the car while driving on Autopilot and it will still perform the same.
Cars see radically different temperatures. Park a car in Phoenix for 8 hours in the sun, or let it sit overnight in Anchorage. My iPhone can’t be left on the dash in sunny weather without overheating. Even in the Bay Area, commuting home with Waze forced me to mount it on an AC blower with the case off.
The Dreamcast was an amazing console. The fact it had Capcom VS SNK 2 faithfully running, Ikaruga and Power Stone immediately makes it one of my all-time favourite consoles. I'm praying SEGA releases a "Dreamcast Mini" one day.

I love the window displays they have at A&C. I picked up Patapon 2 there a while back.
> In 5 to 10 year’s time when I replace the car, it’ll look even worse!

Not to be pedantic, but it will be the same usable screen, you will just have been sold higher expectations by then. An unfortunate byproduct of progress. Things are good enough until one day they aren't :)
This addresses only 50% of what SREs contribute. The other 50% is designing the production infrastructure, processes, and tools that facilitate efficient response. Depending on the size of your company, you can of course make do with off-the-shelf solutions, but that’s not scalable part a certain point; creating robust production systems (as opposed to good code) is a specialty like any other.
> alpha software

That they have been encouraging people to invest in and speculate on for years now.
This is a brand new car company that has built manufacturing from scratch. 10 years ago, car companies had been manufacturing cars for decades. This stuff doesn't happen overnight.
They didn't really need to tear down a model 3 to see the HW3 computer, they could have just watched last years Tesla presentation. Also I don't know how they calculate 6 years - Nvidia will probably have something comparable they can buy within a year or so.
> You can't go with a single instance and a ton of EBS storage, because it caps out at 16TB of disk

I just used the calculator to price out a single instance without issue. Just type in nineteen 16TB EBS volumes (you’d create an LVM volume group for them if launched). I used to have EC2 instances (albeit not by choice, I inherited the bad architecture) with 42TB total of EBS volumes using LVM without issue.
>Tesla's real advantage is their battery production

Battery pack production. Tesla purchases batteries from Panasonic and LG (and thus is susceptible to that supply).
Sure, but a database? Isn’t that part of what YNAB provides?

I am somewhat pleased to see JS dependencies causing real-world problems and losses. I was so fed-up with the dependency hell, I switched to native programming. Especially programming for iOS using Swift is such a pleasure, we still have the concept of dependencies and external libraries but the Apple provided libraries are very rich so you would seldom need to import anything from the wild.

After seeing the other side of the fence, I am quite surprised that anyone would make native apps with Node.JS. In the time you set up your dependencies for your Electron, ReactNative or whatever you can have your native macOS or iOS app UI running. Also, wouldn't spin the fan when running.
They are wrong. The ECU driving the car is separate from the computer running neural net inference (either the NVIDIA drive PX or their newer FSD computer), which is in turn separate from the display or "MCU" which controls the entertainment system which is based on an Intel Atom CPU.
> Industry insiders expect such technology to take hold around 2025 at the earliest.

there's many interpretations. the most obvious is that industry insiders were wrong about their expectations, since the technology has reached the market this early. the other is that the 6 years estimate is way too generous, given production units exists, and late adoption cycle is usually two years. the third is this is a "my darling tesla" advertisement.

somehow I am more inclined to sit between position one and two, especially since the productization of ai chips is already in the works[1], but still.

Reclaim Your Digital Life with New Decentralized Apps
the same logic applies for new planes. Why should I be obligated to implement this new safety feature when I have build the ones before without it?

The MAXes where built after the regulation came into place therefore you better build it in. The same way you can't sell a new car without safety belts.
No, the "self driving computer" is independent and it actually runs itself in parallel for redundancy and error checking.

The infotainment system runs a custom linux distribution running on ARM (MCU1) or intel atom (MCU2).

They talk to each other but they are independent.
I went pretty wide on languages too. I kinda wish I spent that time learning more useful things though. It's certainly nice to be exposed to different language concepts, but I think there's too much conceptual overlap between e.g. C# and Golang for there to be that much benefit from it.

If I had to pick languages that changed my thinking the most, they would probably be: Haskell, Erlang, Clojure, Prolog, and R. Unique languages like Erlang/Elixir and Prolog can be "10x" languages - they were written for specific purposes and if your problem fits that purpose it will be much easier to solve than in most other languages.
