it's unlikely that there is a difference

compilers are usually optimizing these kind of statements so they end up similar or identical

if you wanna be sure, make two loops running a few million times with random if else / switches and time them

There are definitely patterns that transfer across different problems, it's not random at all.

Instagram data is really valuable and they don't like sharing it, you're not dumb!

rotating proxies are the way to go with insta, you can't do much about IP blocking besides using the right IPs

although in theory if you had an account(s) you could still scrape data from a datacenter IP(aws), even though the limits were lower than a 4G proxy

you can buy/create insta accounts for less than a $ using throwaway phone numbers

the best of the best are 4G rotating proxies

the fingerprint needs to change also

If I read and learn from your content it's of no benefit to you either.

If you don't want others to learn from what you have to say, just talk to a brick wall.

do you mean detect your location or detect the fact that you're using a vpn?

because there are plenty of API that'll tell if you're using one

+if you have a huge database you can detect duplicate IPs

there are already dozens of use cases that would become (more) profitable/interesting if we had chips optimized for LLMs

they were asic for BTC at a way earlier stage

+they can always pivot in a year if the market changes too much
