I like it how nicely this article demonstrates Betteridge's law of headlines.

I have yet to meet a tech big timer who does not lie all the time.

just like his magical parrot.
Coincidence? I think not.

I wish there were more attention paid to the fact that the people who talk about 'AI alignment' are...desperately rarely...the sort of people you'd want a bot to be more closely aligned with.

Suchir Balaji tried to hold him accountable and look where he ended up.

in that case, I wish they would have just titled the piece “Sam Altman is a Lying Liar who Lies All The Time”

I sense a trend.

I am going to once again clarify that a) this is an independent third party tracker b) it tracks ten subsystems and overlays all incidents on one timeline to arrive at the sub-90% overall reliability; it does not mean that the github site is just completely dead 10% of the time.

Cadeberg can't manage that, even with all the DDoSes!

This is why I'm migrating to hub hub.

aw hell yeah zero nines

they can't gain three-9s through 99.9% so they are now course-correcting to three-9s through 89.99%

Nine fives?

God bless Microsoft

my self-hosted gitea has a higher uptime lmao

Hey, I count two nines.

10x shitty. Ai is the future.

Maybe github management counts that as "two nines"'?

lmao

There's still two 9s in there. Depending on what or who that is counting, that is probably just fine.

copilot is flying it straight in to a cliff face...

waiting for 0.99999% reliability, see there are five of them and this is where it counts

there are 2 nines in there, I don't see the issue 😛

Thank goodness GitHub is just a popular code repository, and not something anyone would treat as an essential piece of infrastructure in their software provisioning, integration, distribution or whatever process.

i dunno, i see two nines right there :3

That's like when GE merged with Bell Atlantic, and we got the worst quality of service paired with the lowest reliability provider. Just getting dial tone was a crap shoot...

how is it zero nines - there are two nines in 89.91 🤣

To make matters (much) worse, copilot seems to be very reliable ...

I'm sure CoPilot would agree that 9.9999% is much easier to accomplish than 99.999%

@GossiTheDog
Hey friends, are you sure about this? I’ve consulted a respected numbers model and it looks like there are two 9’s… maybe you all did double check?

now could someone extrapolate github’s uptime for in a year or something

---

i still see 4 nines

Can't wait for them to drop to nine fives of uptime!

I think the bigger question is which one 9 reliability they'll reach first.

What do you mean zero nines? 89.91 has two nines in it! 😉

I love that I am reading this while waiting for GitHub to fix their API throwing HTTP 503 errors 😀

AI is the future.

i really don't understand how and real companies still use microsoft products. and i try really hard. i build software infrastructure and do tool selection for developer teams for a living. my previous company used microsoft dynamic 365 as their CRM. they paid about 4 million per year euros for it (significant expense given the company size) and they threw away their own solution in favor of that. yet, the thing was down and unusable (as in whole departments of the company cannot do their work at all and we were bleeding hundreds of thousands in real money every few hours) at least once every two months! longest outages lasted 2 or 3 days. and that's not even counting all the consultancy expenses to manage and customize that thing because there was no internal know-how to do that. the company before that switched from one cloud to another for no apparent practical reason with disastrous consequences for development of the product... these kinds of management decisions are entirely irrational and the only way i can explain them is that companies like microsoft and google invest more in kickbacks to decision makers than into development of their products.

i mean it does have nines in it, so it’s the slop version of two nines

you're being silly, they are still above 55.5555555%

sloptastic news!

Looking at it positively, they do have 4 eights of reliability.

uhhh, there’s still two nines there

makes the hour I took my personal gitea down to set up GPTbot blocking feel pretty reasonable

Microsoft would argue that 89.91% actually has 2 9s

its probably running on #windows now go codeberg.org

I mean technically, they still have 2 nines there... 🤔 😅

microsoft can't devops.

No nine!

"What are you talking about I see two nines right there." John Microsoft probably

I wonder at what point they will declare Uptime Bankruptcy and start fresh?

miroslop is going to be the biggest pushers of digital freedom

It's really hard to do this poorly. To achieve a single 9 requires less than 2.4 hours of down time per day.

time to vibecode ​​

@mogi ok maybe codeberg is doing alright lol

Paraphrasing Queeg, "it's got a nine in it".
I've worked for enough companies that I've seen teams who couldn't even manage nine fives.

What do you mean? There are clearly two nines in there /j

Five nines (0.99999%)

@zazzoo those LLMs sure are helping!

"We did it, boys!"

What do you mean? I see two nines right there in the middle.

numbers are not my forte. I'll admit I'm an idiot. what in the name of crimes against statistics is going on here?

---

THERE ARE ZERO NINES

starting to think Microsoft has a humiliation kink

That is #radicle

I didn't realize that the 9's before the decimal point counted? That's 10 times worse than I thought

#Github is shooting for "nine fives of reliability"

The other day I got a 500 error just by creating a new issue with 5 text lines, that's how bad things have gotten. (Never happened before)

they're working toward 5 nines - 9.9999% uptime

4 eights, here we goooooooo!

WDYM, 89,9 has TWO nines!

"oh dont worry we outsourced our uptime statistics to copilot, and when it's working, it says we have nine-nines of uptime! so it must be true!"

(oops!)

soon we try to keep track of percentage down time instead of uptime 🤣

should i get my project off github? dont want my work to be gone ​​

this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing and giving us hope!

Like Copilot, github is Only For Entertainment.

Nobody ever got fired by being bought by Microsoft...wait!
