VIDEO SCRAPING: EXTRACTING JSON DATA FROM A 35 SECOND SCREEN CAPTURE FOR LESS THAN 1/10TH OF A CENT

It's possible to record a screen capture of a browsing session and then use Google Gemini to extract numbers from the video. While these language models shouldn't be trusted not to make mistakes, it appears that the Gemini 1.5 Flash 002 model is sufficient enough to complete the task consistently. Extracting data from a 35-second video costs less than a tenth of a cent. Video scraping allows developers to have total control over what is exposed to the AI model. This article walks readers through how to do it.

AMAZON AWS CEO: QUIT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RETURN TO OFFICE

AWS CEO Matt Garman suggested during an all-hands meeting for AWS on Thursday that employees who did not wish to work for Amazon in-office five days a week should quit. He claimed that nine out of ten workers he had spoken with supported the new 5-day-per-week in-office policy, which takes effect in January. Many Amazon employees have said that the new policy will waste time with additional commuting and that the benefits of working from the office are not supported by independent data. Garman says that it's too hard to accomplish company goals with the current mandatory three days of in-office work.

META FIRES STAFF FOR ‘USING FREE MEAL VOUCHERS TO BUY HOUSEHOLD GOODS'

Meta has reportedly fired about 24 staff at its Los Angeles offices for using their meal credits to buy household goods. Meta usually feeds staff for free from canteens at its larger offices, but those at smaller sites are given daily credits to order food through delivery services. Some workers were found to be abusing the system, including sending food home when they were not in the office. Employees who had only occasionally broken the rules were reprimanded but were able to keep their jobs.
