They ban by payment method, but omp.sh mimics the Claude Code useragent + payload, so the risks are a lot lower.

This also assumes eastern europeans are "white" (which is debatable in more serious circles; speaking as an EE myself).

Absolutely. It's the only harness that is actually RSI and not run by idiots.

Just a very sad departure from more humanistic values towards "well technically their legal rights take precedence over common good."

Especially that he's an "engineer" not a "Googler" or "a person."

God what a fall from grace.

This ethos doesn't gel with the old ethos and that's where the disconnect comes from.

At one point Google was there to build cool shit and enable people to do it; not extract maximal amount of value and "being Evil" by the values of its time.

How do I never see your posts again because it's clear you have more free time than sense on your hands.

Strong no hire for Staff+ signal from this post.

Meta's leetcode gambit includes leetcode Hards and Mediums which aren't just "remember your hash maps and trees!" They're incredibly hard to brute force under time pressure if you haven't practiced similar problems before. Now do that for every interview -- exhausting.

Alternative? Lol? System design. "Walk me through systems you've built." Have a conversation. If you can't then maybe you don't have the skill for interviewing or dare I say the skill to be an engineer.

None of these elites are operators -- they're liberal arts educated and their primary skills are in using words and lack of to achieve status gains -- nothing more.

In many traditional industries, companies are built and run by the most senior members of whichever discipline. Tech is different because most of its skilled members intentionally cede soft power because of personal (imo short-sighted) predilections and the exorbitant amount of money flowing in has caused a mad dash from other disciplines.

The "elites" are people trained either institutionally or personally (from their relationships with others) to understand power dynamics and utilize them for personal gain.

Navel gazing is a great away to achieve nothing. Being lorded over by someone who couldn't even figure out how to build and host a simple webapp is ludicrous. Should the CEO of my hospital not understand that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell? Should the partners at big M&A law firms have no idea how to read a contract? No, because that's fucking ludicrous -- yet it persists in tech because its technicians have zero training, education, or even sense for elite ways of thinking.

Deadlocks?

Compensation is usually more tightly coupled with leverage, rather than "work."

Their infra team is very understaffed and they are reacting to the public backlash of "no 9s?"

The actual inference is operated at a 95%+ margin.

I simply have no idea what you're babbling about. I'm not trying to be rude, but I really cannot parse what you're saying.

Simple RAG is fine for very simple workflows, but semantic similarity vector search has a lot of edge cases and isn't the best tool out there. RIG or even recursive LLMs work better in the general case.

Whatever you're saying, it does not really mesh with my experience.

Vouched, because this was going to be my counterpoint as someone who had the same circumstances as the grandparent.

Despite the enormously heinous stuff I've seen on that site, it has made me a better writer, developed my critical thinking skills, and given me a perspective on the world and its people that wouldn't have existed without.

It also introduced me to many different things and developed my taste beyond measure.

The massive downside, that I suspect the grandparent still wrestles with, is integrating all of depravity of humankind into a coherent world view without falling into cognitive dissonance between the idealized and constructed world with an onslaught of information on the actual reality of it.

It's sort of like looking into the Epstein files and having to decide one's reaction to them:

- crushed by despair at the state of things leading to nihilism and depression

- deciding to ignore it all, and continuing to go on about one's life without integrating it

- acceptance, normalization, and corruption

- a secret fourth option that reaffirms you, using that news as fuel for whatever ends in the hope you can improve the world even if just a little bit, despite how ugly it is

And so on.
