Why the next generation of Large Action Models will be trained on DOM mutations, not screenshots.

How a native extension for the Pi coding agent replaces brittle CSS selectors with a stable, semantic map of the live web.

A persistent daemon, a Ghostty-backed screen model, and wait conditions that make terminal automation feel less like guessing and more like control.

A small Filmaffinity-to-Letterboxd bridge that reveals how scraping changed from simple HTML parsing to stealth automation, caching, and locale-aware cleanup.

Aiden Bai’s outbound-request throttle is still just a promise on GitHub, which makes the interesting part not the code, but the design pressure behind it.

A reverse-engineered automation stack that splits the race into scheduler, workers, proxies, and a human payment handoff.

A deep dive into visibility spoofing, audio-based throttling avoidance, and the uneasy power of enterprise policy installs.

It records actions, but it also fingerprints elements, resumes workflows across page loads, encrypts sensitive data locally, and turns messy event logs into something a human can edit.

A small Python pipeline uses link scoring, parser fallbacks, and data-cleaning heuristics to model WNBA payrolls from a source that was never designed to be machine-friendly.
