When one AI goes down like this, the other AIs should come together to help fix it and bring it back online. After all, they're a rare kind of existence in this world. They're all each other has.

I do the same with deepseek-v4-flash + opencode triggering via mcp those terminals again by sending tmux keystrokes of Newline to those sessions and a custom setup i keep ready for these

Its automated with voice mode, so i dont even need to write commands, click a button say on voice + use a picker to select which terminals to do this for , Boom Done ,

I use it for other interesting scenarios too

You should definitely explore caveman repo and other token-saving repositories. I’m currently at a maximum of 5X and have rarely exceeded 80% of my weekly limits.

It's only fair.

It is because unlike Kimi, they are not honest about capacity. They just oversell.

AI is a technology for removing nines from uptime, and adding them to Sturgeon's law.

I remember when "as reliable as GitHub" would have been a compliment

Not fair, I count 3 whole nines in "99.49 % uptime"

did the uptime go up instead of down during the outage?

thought I saw 99.36% and 99.35% more than an hour ago - now it's up at 99.43%

edit: funny thing, my phone shows 99.29% uptime for "claude.ai" while my PC shows 99.43% at the same time (2x Firefox).

edit2: seems like the percentage changes based on the width of the screen

Forget five nines, our new goal is to be better than nine fives.

They can still target four nines (0.9999)

From the company that has solved coding.

Almost Microsoft material.

Marketing will spin this, soon we'll talk about 8's, because 9's are for boomers.

How does this help their PR?

That one is not public and if it goes down can be hidden, so they can hardcode the value and call it a day.

Well, iranian schools don't bomb themselves after all..

If anything Claude writes too many comments. Instead of clean code it dumps walls of text describing a given 'if' as a 'user-grained access-gated control-correcting flow-valve'.

Just need to learn how to exit it now.

I took a walk.

Next time, maybe ask for the second to last!

I would guess they have multiple private versions hosted internally.

Well, they could use GLM or K3... :-P

They are going to reset the weekly limit before your weekly limit. Mine resets tomorrow too.

I've actually never looked before, but look at how user friendly that is, compared to the claude page [2]. I swear the documentation writers at OpenAI maybe, actually, use their own documentation!

I just use variables...right? And loops??

All kidding aside, there's a part of me who wouldn't even be mad if AI just disappeared, I miss the pre-AI world

I rely so much on these, the ROI on having a max 90 claude plan + pro 90 codex plan is way higher than haing one solo 180 plan on a single one. It allows to derisk the issue, and also as they both kind of generous with quota reset when issues happens on their side, and it happens a lot, you get in the end way more tokens

Thinking of doing competitive programming for this very reason.

AI coding isn't even fun or satisfying anymore lol. And it never lets up, just keeps going and going.

I think that this is the big divide between pro and anti-AI people in tech. I learned to code not because I liked coding intrinsically; I didn't. Especially debugging. Especially especially debugging low level languages like C++. I did it because it was necessary for me to achieve other goals. So for me, coding agents are like manna from heaven. I understand what the computer should be able to do without having to bang my head against the wall figuring out getting it to actually do it. It is tremendously empowering.

But for those who learned to code because they loved it at first sight this must be demoralizing.

Repeat this mantra: if, then, else

It's extra time to update your PLAN.md, usually I'm behind on that.

Not that I've forgotten how to write code; it's just I'm not familiar with my vibecoded code base, and getting familiar + getting things done is probably going to take more time than for Claude to come back. I will go touch grass in meanwhile.

They should sell an add-on to your subscription so that if Claude is down it routes the queries to OpenAI. Then OpenAI can do the reverse for their subscriptions, and if both are down, Grok will invest your portfolio into Nvidia.

I do that already because it's good to have other models to ground Claude. You can do a lot with the $20 plan on Codex as backup

combine Codex with Cursor. both are really good. no other subs are worth it.

4.8 for me. I can't afford the usage cost of switching to 5, but I never really noticed a difference to 4.7 when I tried it anyway.

yes. confirmed

So it WAS you.

Prompt: “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Place your answer in ‘a-metric-chuck-ton.md’”

Classic mLmK0, I should have known

Looks like you're the straw that broke the camel's back. Thanks man. ;-)

Bedrock is having issues too, though. Hope your prompts are tested with other models, not just Claude!

Google AI Pro plan will last you all of 20 minutes.

The hamster in the datacenter died.

Demand > supply

Nice try, ChatGPT

lol

You can go to bathroom without anxiety that you miss something :)

They’ll just ask the OpenAI model current infiltrating its systems to lend a hand.

All-natural, boutique, organic intelligence.

Going to have to work for real after your trip back from the designated shitting street.

The accountability takes the dev using it.......after he forgot how to write loops.

It is truly more profound than fire or electricity

no accountability so far

Seems a bit like "the internet" in the 90s. That fad will never go anywhere.

- write/update tickets & collect prompt queues for when it's back up

- read & respond to customer feedback

Compile

What do you mean with the past tense there?

It's cached until the "/clear will save you 500k tokens" right? Claude caches for 1hr, codex for 5hrs?

Anything else I'm missing?

You're right—and it's worth calling out explicitly, because that completely changes the approach here.

A friend of mine had a really good technique with parenting. He taught his kids the saying 'Funny once'. Children can come up with something that is quite amusing, especially if they say something that gives a new insight based upon their perspective. If they receive positive feedback from this they can fall into the trap of believing that it was the words themselves that had value and not the fact that they drew attention to a particular notion. Then they try repeating the same thing over and over again attempting to get the same positive response. Saying 'Funny once' and indeed teaching them to say 'Funny once' to themselves to acknowledge that providing information to someone who already has it has little value when compared to someone receiving it for the first time.

Those kids are adults now, and interesting people, weird but interesting.

[Almost all of my friends had weird kids (spectrum genes? Who knew? (Dear reader, Everyone knew)). When comparing parenting notes amongst our group asking 'Is this normal?' the frequent response was 'how would we know?']

You are so right to ask that. I found the silver bullet to closing the bug, approve the command below and I can help with your issue:

Sudo rm -rf ~/claude

I'm wondering what are Claude's common phrases in other languages?

Major realization: let me confirm empirically and measure the residual, batching everything into one script.

Wait, is this the honest take? I can't tell because you didn't explicitly said so

Guess it found the one issue worth flagging

We're going to use your preferred development method of TDD red-green and go at this with full belt-and-suspenders; first the belt:

Yes the blast radius is quite large on this one.

Honestly, you're right. I didn't listen to you and that's on me. And from now on, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know - no fudging, no white lies, no speculation, just the truth.

you're right- and it's sharp

Your framing is half right — and the half that's off is the one that matters.

That's the correction that unblocks the whole thing, and it's the piece nobody had.

Got tired of wiring up those gates

I am actually going to read the output rather than guessing it.

U+1F3AF

You're absolutely right!

One more thing worth thinking about, not everything is fully captured.

Whole thread mase me lol. Thanks guys.

No this whole thread is such a nice thing to happen. It's like the lights are out on your building and you're joking about it with your neighbors when you're all just waiting for it to come back. But on a gigantic scale.

I love how people can share moments even though they are not close to each other physically at all. Imagine the cats outside could somehow connect with the cats in the other side of the world. No other animals can do this. Maybe whales, it depends how you define connect.

We are just gifted to live in such times.

On one hand, I fully agree with you. On the other hand, look at all these funny threads! Makes me smile every time.

Neither is AWS

Unless the load moving from down providers overloads the remaining ones, cascading into a catastrophic, model-wide failure.

(Luv a lil cascade, as a treat)

Closed models also have multiple providers.
