What's the other way it's used?
LLMs (at least Claude) tends to overuse that significantly

#432Cloudflare, 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. https://downdetector.com/status/cloudflare/ https://downdetector.com/status/windows-azure/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ https://downdetector.com/status/google-cloud/

…and it’ll involve BGP routing.

But have we found the seams yet though?
If 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.

#440Well no one said it yet so I will, "international actors" is at least a possibility.
