Wonder if some of their critical infra got hit by a power outage?[0] Really a power outage shouldn't cause this as backups and generators...but maybe something was overlooked? Guess we will just have to wait and see what the postmortem says.

Is reddit on-prem or in the cloud? If in the cloud, AWS/GCE have tons of redundancy in power, internet connectivity, etc.

If I recall correctly they're in the cloud

People on both Reddit and HN are updating their bots to GPT-4 and testing the upgrade, so yeah, there is a lot of extra posts on these sites causing load.

Is there a directory of known AI forum-posting bots? Would be interesting to see what uses they’re being put to / what they’re tuned to talk about.

They have flame wars all the time.

There’s disparate efforts to identify, out, and ban these bots. So probably not, and if there is is likely too stale to be good for anything but academic endeavors.

With all the tech layoffs they can get some SREs? Gotta be online to sell ads for your IPO.

I can't link to it right now since the link is on reddit, but it's kinda funny timing with the rant one of their recruiters did on LinkedIn over the weekend

what was the gist of it?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hah! I’m sitting here waiting for eye surgery and figured it was slow hospital wifi. You’re right, though. Other sites are quick! If someone screws up and kills me, HN will be the last thing I remember. ;-)

FWIW the usual outcome of messing up eye surgery is blindness, not death. Good luck! :)

In that case, the last thing they’ll remember is that lovely orange banner. For the rest of their lives.

Imagine going blind and only being able to recall your loved ones’ faces, and the header of your favorite website.
