Anthropic also fires off the alarm bells seemingly at any sign of issue. I've personally only noticed an outage once, and the status page wasn't even showing it as down at that time. It eventually did update about 45 minutes later, then I was back up and running another 15 minutes later but the "outage" on the status page stayed up for another hour or so.
replyProbably good to sent alerts early, but they might be going a bit too early.
That's 99% is two nines?
replyIt was 98.xx this morning when I posted.
replyThis is pretty pedantic, but I think it's usually rounded. 1=90%, 2=99%, 3=99.9%. I'd say 98% is "not even two nines" but not "one nine".
replyHonestly my impression was the “nines” of reliability just means how many nines your reliability starts with, as a decimal. I never thought much about it though.
replyI will also say it’s amusing that the debate is between one and two nines. Neither is objectively great. If you built a system with >3.65 days of downtime in a year that wouldn’t be something you’d brag about in an interview.
Everything on that page has two nines, so not sure what you're trying to say here.
replyThis morning it was less than 99% which is one nine of reliability.
replyIn any case, two nines of reliability is not impressive.
Right now everything on that page is 98 point something, so it must be fluctuating.
replyNot sure what the uptime is meant to signal. People have quite low uptime as well…
replyHuh? Servers aren't people and thus have completely different expectations, or what am I missing here
replyuptime signals reliability
reply9% uptime?
reply9% would be 0.09 which is no nines.
replyOne 9 would be 90% (aka 0.9)
