Four times a day, times say 5 years = 7_300 tries. Times 10_000 accounts ≈ 73_000_000 tries. They should have access to ~70 accounts by now.

Cheapest VPS is $5/month, residential proxies are $3/1Gb, which equals ~$200 / 5 years.

$3 per hacked account — is it good unit economy?

How's that different from the trivial phishing, when a malicious site looks like the target site and asks for the password?

Did you mean "120b"? I am running 20b model locally right now, and it is pretty mediocre. Nothing near Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is my daily driver.

1. Sometimes you should prove that you are human first.

I think the line is drawn at "on my behalf". The silent agreement of the web is that humans are served content via a browser, and robots are obeying rules. All we need to support this status quo is to perform data processing by ML models on a client's side, in the browser, the same way we rip out ads.

What if you talk to a real person for 45 minutes, still never get those 45 minutes back, and they ghost you anyway? Would you feel better?

What if they did not ghost you, but sent you a very polite LLM-generated rejection letter with generic reasons like "we decided to proceed with another candidate"?

It's 43 already. Let's look at their first quarterly call.

You are absolutely right. We need to start thinking about 128 bit systems sometime halfway down the road.

This is how we implemented DDD in several teams: everything is either an entity, a value object, or an aggregate root. Generic integers and strings exist only in the infrastructure/interface layers between users or external systems and the domain kernel.

Lessons learned:

1) Keep my backups with a different infrastructure provider

2) Never allow third parties to pay for critical services

3) The moment I am asked for "verification," the emergency plan kicks in

While you are here: what's the state of external contributing for the project? I see literally hundreds of open PRs, and it's a bit discouraging, tbh.
