This is cool, although I would hate to put 20 hours into solving this just to learn all the positions have been filled, or do a 15 minute interview with the company just for them to say I'm not a "culture" fit. Neuralink sent me home with a 10 hour assignment writing 1000 lines of (reasonably math-heavy) code and they never even reviewed it. The HR lady kept saying the team was busy (reviewing other coding assignments), and after two weeks of pestering her she said they decided I didn't have enough experience. I know I probably sound salty (I am), but the code itself was impeccable.

It's time to start using AI or you will be always too late...

  Presumably the only sensible approach for take home assignments is to permit AI assistance, but it should still be stated explicitly.

    Some allow it even on live interview. There is no reason to be shy if everybody is 'cheating'.

I can see why companies might not want to tell you that you are lower on the list and they are waiting to see if they can get anyone better (perhaps even interviewing additional candidates), but it puts you in an unpleasant position because you feel (correctly) that they are stringing you along and not being straight with you.

No positions have yet been filled - I did write a follow up post where I'll compensate you fairly if we interviewed you, but don't end up hiring you - https://x.com/danielhanchen/status/1891609444343050514 https://x.com/danielhanchen/status/1891609444343050514 Also I added bug bounties for all tasks in Task 4 :)
