A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Real triple 99.9% is pretty hard to achieve on a massive service.
That's not the point of the post tho?
It was hitting 99.9% before acquisition. Unless you want to say that github only became massive after MS acquisition
I don’t know anything concrete, but MS may report downtime differently, and have more strict requirements for reporting downtime.
I’ve seen it happen at another ‘start up’ that got acquired and suddenly started reporting way more downtime events than prior to acquisition.
That actually may be true, but honestly my personal/anecdotal evidence also shows github being down more since atleast a couple of years.
