Cloudflare, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud all have a similar uptick in reported errors around 7:30. I suspect an outage on Cloudflare or another load-bearing service cascaded through all the major cloud providers.

- KptMarchewa 1mo agoNot really. The impact isn't as big too - Codex for example did not stop working for me. https://updog.ai/ https://updog.ai/
- taytus 1mo agooh well, if it is working for you, then we are saved.
- cromka 1mo ago[flagged]
- emerongi 1mo agoThey simply shared their experience. I would’ve thought it’s a full-blown outage, but clearly not. You stepped in the room real stinky here. What’s with the attitude?
- cromka 1mo agoNo, they didn't "simply share their experience", they explicitly negated the scale of the issue in their opening statement, only because it works for them. So they claim "impact isn't too big" based on their personal anecdotal evidence of sample size literally 1. > full-blown outage, but clearly not. Again, based on a SINGLE report?
- lossolo 1mo agoIt was working for me too. sample_size++;
- KptMarchewa 1mo agoI negated the cloudflare outage, providing source. Are you cloudflare so that you might be so affected by my statement?
- personjerry 1mo agowhat's updog?
- stirfish 1mo ago:)
- red-iron-pine 1mo agogottem!
- y-c-o-m-b 1mo agoCloudfare did release an update for their "HTTP/3 issue affecting R2 custom domains" around that time https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?type=incident https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?type=incident
- oersted 1mo ago“load bearing” :) For once it’s appropriately used.
- quotemstr 1mo agoIt's a good metaphor and I refuse to let AI ruin it for me.
- wadayano 1mo agoBut have we found the seams yet though?
- rl3 1mo agoIf the seams bear too much load, they rip. Whereas pants, they fall down. I'll be honest with you: this is why we need to take a belt-and-suspenders approach.
- pborenstein 1mo agoThat's not just an observation, it's an insight. Words are doing the real work.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoThis just makes me angry! I really wonder if they can fix it. Fable 5.1 claims to speak humanese, but we'll see. I tend to think this wierd limited vocabulary/style they use is an unwanted side effect of all the the RL training, perhaps also of being trained on their own synthetic content over multiple training cycles.
- wadayano 18d agoIt’s not just limited vocabulary, it’s low key gaslighting. And honestly you’re so real for that!
- martyfunkhouser 1mo agoWill the post-mortem reveal they all relied on a service running on a Macbook in a break room with a "Do not turn off" sign taped to it?
- buredoranna 1mo agoSomeone probably set it to "magic", when everyone knows its supposed to be set to "more magic".

- esafak 1mo agoEvidently it annoyed you enough to create one too. Remember, guys, there's one more day until Friday!
- martyfunkhouser 1mo agoFriday is when the janitors come by with the floor polishers and plug them into the same socket as the Macbook. They are not taking the blame this time!
- 4chandaily 1mo agoJust writing to say that I appreciated the nostalgia, even if your references were lost on the other responders.
- mcphage 1mo agoActually it said "Beware of the Leopard".

- moomin 1mo agoYes, but is it a load-bearing seam?
- graemep 1mo agoYou are right, it is. They have now landed a clean fix.
- Oarch 1mo agoThey're saving a memory so this can't happen again.
- mavamaarten 1mo agoNothing another .md file can't fix
- bitwize 1mo agoNow you guys are just adding no-op fuel to the fire.
- tikhonj 1mo agoI made Claude write noöp instead of no-op and it's still amusing a couple of days later :P

- dominotw 1mo ago> load-bearing service do you generate training data for claude as a job?
- Flere-Imsaho 1mo agoThe internet is not supposed to work like this. The network was designed for robustness and fault tolerance, which allows it to reroute data if parts of the network fail. Why are we all depending on one entity for it all to work? Makes me mad.
- subw00f 1mo agoOh boy, the internet is anything but what it was supposed to be. I can't really bring myself to remember without feeling bad about it. The centralization, the power of certain businesses, the surveillance, dark patterns everywhere. Hell, you catch people simping for billionaires and asking, "Is that legal?" to scraping posts. Here. In HACKER news. So yeah. Depressing.
- pessimizer 1mo ago> asking, "Is that legal?" to scraping posts. Here. In HACKER news. The capital letters don't make this astonishing. The padmapper vs. craigslist debate was nearly 15 years ago, most people were on craigslist's side (including me) and it was about somebody who was running a site in a less optimal but more human way vs. some startup looking for hockey-sticks. But I was literally simping for the billionaire (maybe not quite yet then, don't know for sure if he managed it since) against scrapers. They were very much for-profit scrapers, unlike nitter, but the truth is the truth. The only reason I support scraping Twitter is because it's yet another communications monopoly that was endlessly pushed on us by governments and massive corporations, even though it never made money, and once it finally got traction its priorities were to trash interop and manipulate content. The government should be dictating an interop protocol and expecting everyone to follow it, and instead it is encouraging media monopolies because they are an end run around the first amendment. If the government created interop protocols for rental property, I'd have been against craigslist. Instead, it seemed very much like some startup play to steal craigslist's content to hopefully bury them, then sell on a valuation that included abusing their new monopoly and making us very much miss craigslist. Sadly, facebook corralled and trained so many people for so long that their marketplace eventually killed craigslist for most things anyway (didn't have to buy padmapper after all.)

- mattlondon 1mo agoI think down detector doesn't actually have any probes or actual insight into status etc. I think it uses search volume on its own service as a proxy for an outage - so if e.g. lots of people rush to down detector to query to see if SERVICE_FOO is down, it will register as an outage on down detector because loads of people are trying to see if there is an outage even if SERVICE_FOO is actually totally fine. My hunch is everyone saw that openai and Claude were down and checked for Gemini too. I was using Gemini the whole time this happened without a blip so it certainly wasn't down in my region at least. 3.8 flash is pretty good and didn't miss a beat.
- utternerd 1mo agoDown detector is a self-reported platform, they use a baseline over 6 months from user reports to try to automatically "detect" if there is a real outage, or if its just a couple end-users. Ultimately, the outage is entirely based on users going to down detector and clicking on "Report a Problem". https://downdetector.com.py/en/methodology/ https://downdetector.com.py/en/methodology/
- wlonkly 1mo agoHuh. I thought they used to also do sentiment analysis of social media (Twitter, at least). I see that they definitely don't today, but has that always been the case?
- dostick 1mo agoSo Down Detector is a kind of quantum observation experiment, observing influences the result.
- joshspankit 1mo agoobserving is the result
- r_lee 1mo agothat's honestly worth flagging.
