But the goal is not survival - its outlier success. I find it extremely impressive that it has not gotten worse with all the wanterpreneurs for 1-2 year rates!

@MikeVichich @bcherny Seems was related to daylight savinga switch
Anthony Morris ツ@amorriscode
Desktop users with scheduled tasks who are in a timezone that observed daylight saving time were affected by an infinite loop. When the app tried to locate tasks scheduled during the “skipped” hour, it couldn’t resolve them and got stuck. Download 1.1.5749 at claude.com/download to get the fix. Sorry for the disruption everyone.

@bcherny setup some scheduled tasks last night, and they couldn't run bc my comp was sleeping. This morning i'm desktop app has been beachballed. Tried a bunch of stuff that hasn't worked; sorry to use you for support, but any ideas?

Hey Arun - thanks for the feedback. Agreed, we’ll address this in the postmortem.
We know now that far more traffic was failing than succeeding, and the status page was updated earlier today to reflect the practical reality that this was a full outage.
At the time of the initial update, we didn’t understand the ratio yet. We knew some requests were succeeding, and that led us to believe partial was correct.

We let you down this morning. Any incident is unacceptable for authentication infrastructure, and our reliability team is already working to harden our systems.
A full postmortem will follow. Below is an early indication of what happened:
- Our database's auto analyze settings triggered an errant query plan flip, which slowed database performance and overall response times.
- A relief valve began terminating incoming requests early with 429, because it knew passing them to our handlers would lead to database overload
- Our session resilience mechanisms failed to trigger because the database was slow, not down. Work will begin immediately to harden this mechanism.
- The system returned to normal after identifying and resolving the errant query plan flip. A deeper investigation into what statistics caused the flip is ongoing.

This is an amazing visualization of millions of "startup" farms to larger, concentrated and more productive farms. Sad at an individual level and but hardly noticed at the collective level.

8 years “late” but compared to what else… pretty impressive overall tbh.

This is incredible. The original AI friends… this was just 40 years too early before Character.ai

In 1986, the "Rent-a-Friend" VHS was released for lonely people with VCRs. The 42-minute direct-to-video program featured a friendly man named "Sam" (played by Ben Hollis) who looked directly into the camera, asked the viewer questions, left space for answers, and offered compliments to create the illusion of companionship. It was sold through mail-order ads in the back of magazines and some video stores, priced around $19.95.

This is powerful and true -
“It’s time we stop treating this like a tech moonshot and start treating it like a public health intervention that will save lives.”

I have a guest essay in @nytimes today about autonomous vehicle safety. I wrote it because I’m tired of seeing children die. Done right, we can eliminate car crashes as a leading cause of death in the United States @Waymo recently released data covering nearly 100 million driverless miles. I spent weeks analyzing it because the results seemed too good to be true. 91% fewer serious-injury crashes. 92% less pedestrians hit. 96% fewer injury crashes at intersections. The list goes on. 39,000 Americans died in crashes last year. More than homicide, plane crashes, and natural disasters combined. The #2 killer of children and young adults. The #1 cause of spinal cord injury. We’ve accepted this as the price of mobility. We don’t have to. In medicine, when a treatment shows this level of benefit, we stop the trial early. Continuing to give patients the placebo becomes unethical. When an intervention works this clearly, you change what you do. In driving, we’re all the control group. Cities like DC and Boston are blocking deployment. And cities are not the only forces mobilizing to slow this progress. It’s time we stop treating this like a tech moonshot and start treating it like a public health intervention that will save lives. Link to article below. 👀 this video of Waymo cars evading crashes with people and vehicles. I especially note the ones that require it having a 360° view. My sincere thanks to Alex Ellerbeck and @acsifferlin for their wisdom and sure hand in editing this piece.

@nrvntkk Very telling that are celebrating tokens processed vs downstream users or incremental revenue generated

@TurnerNovak @levelsio Its really hard to tell sometimes. You have honed your craft 👏

@levelsio I think it would be literal exits from the portfolio

$500,000 is the number Once you have that much in a brokerage you can product $7,500-$10,000 a month in option income. Thats taking into account 2-4 trades a month at low deltas & minimal effort. Then life goes on easy mode.

@jrochelle @AcquiredFM Wow! What did view XML do? Was that that the backend representation for sharing?
English
and this is what Google Sheets looked like before our 06/06/06 launch date... @AcquiredFM and before we got our first Ux Designer (I did the icons with msft paint or something... I asked someone what they thought that far right button (share) meant, they said "start a family?"🤡

This is what Google Maps looked like on launch day in 2005. It’s uh... missing some countries.

Probably one of the best examples of “abundance” unlimited clean energy with free Gold as a byproduct! Stranger than fiction.

Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold. This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.

Remember reading this post during lock down in NYC. Felt important but there was a lot going on then.
