    It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

      The moment we've been waiting for. Who else remembers how to fizzbuzz? We're gonna be rich.

          On the other spectrum, shortest JS fizzbuzz (62 characters):

              for(i=0;++i<101;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'
          
          Anyone can beat it? (any language accepted)

            Perl6: say "Fizz"x$_%%(2+1)~"Buzz"x$_%%(4+1)||$_ for 1..100

            from here - https://github.com/rsha256/shortest-fizzbuzz/blob/master/Per...

              Why does this use 2+1 and 4+1 instead of 3 and 5?

            LLM: wrt frst 100fizzbuzz
            • embedding-shape5 hours ago
              Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz?

              Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code

              • JaumeGreen4 hours ago
                "golf fizbuz" works well, giving a 54 Python one

                    for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)
                
                "golf fizzbuzz" gave a 46 perl one

                    print$_%15?$_%3?$_%5?$_:Buzz:Fizz:FizzBuzz,$/for 1..100
                
                Both "code fizzbuzz" and just "fizbuz" gave this longer python one-liner

                    print('\n'.join("Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0) or str(i) for i in range(1, 101)))
                
                That's the magic of using a known problem, you don't need to write much and even with incomplete prompts it can be understood. Everything a different new chat in kimi.ai, which was the AI window that I found first among mine.

                Not interesting enough, to me, to try with other LLMs or phrases.

                • embedding-shape4 hours ago
                  Whenever I try those short prompts, I get bunch of text + the code itself, but way more than just the code. Which model specifically are you doing this with?
                  • JaumeGreen4 hours ago
                    I'm getting the text too, of course. Several variations of the code with it usually.

                    Trying to get an AI give ONLY a simple answer and not several is "boring" to me, as for me AI is a supplement to my reasoning ability, not a substitute.

                    Appending "code only" seems to work, at least with "golf fizbuz code only" gave me this one liner, which is long, but at least doesn't have the text that you dislike.

                        for i in range(1,101):print('FizzBuzz'[i%3*4:8-i%5*4]or i)
                    • embedding-shape2 hours ago
                      > golf fizbuz code only

                      Yeah, seems to work. Guess it depends if we count bytes, characters, tokens or what, but "写Fizbuz只码" seems shorter than the above, String.length says 9 :)

              • odo12424 hours ago
                My attempt:

                > Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf

                > LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM

                > Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)

                So, 11 prompt characters and 62 output.

                ——-

                Did a few more tries and I can get the 4-character string “glfz” (2 tokens) to work surprisingly consistently. But only on ChatGPT

                • odo12424 hours ago
                  Update: this is because ChatGPT was cheating and reading my conversation history. The closest I can get on a standard LLM is golffizbuz (10 characters)
              • butlike4 hours ago
                "100fizzbuzz" as the prompt works to satisfys fizz buzz to 100 on Claude.
          • wilkystyle5 hours ago
            Python:

            [(x%3<1)*'Fizz'+(x%5<1)*'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]

            edit: Hacker News stripped the * character. Now it's properly escaped.

            • gilleain4 hours ago
              >>> len("[(x%3<1)'Fizz'+(x%5<1)'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]")

              57

          • winrid5 hours ago
            you can flip it and save a few bytes, but not valid fizzbuzz then:

            for(i=100;i--;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'

            • embedding-shape5 hours ago

      I wonder how likely it is that, one of the major providers had an outage, and then the thundering herd of users switching to other providers (and/or openrouter automatically failing people over to other providers) caused the incidents in the other two.

    2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents.

    When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.

    The cascading outage theory would make sense to me for Claude -> Codex. But Grok and Gemini too?

    [actually gemini at least on the web appears to be up, contrary to some reports in this thread]

    • amanfromhere6 hours ago
      I'm getting this from Gemini: "Pro is in high demand right now Another model was used for this response. This didn't count toward your limit." Note that I don't pay for Gemini though. So maybe that's why.
      • the_real_cher6 hours ago
        I get that literally all the time. I had to switch away from Gemini because of it.

    After around half an hour of struggle trying to figure out why Codex keeps failing with msg "unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error.." after reconnecting 5/5 times, I gave up, especially when I tested my internet connection and found it to be working properly. I googled "codex+unexpected status 404 Not Found" and, surprisingly, the first result was from HackerNews! As always, HN is the GOAT.

    • seanw2655 hours ago
      Your browser's network fingerprint has likely already been validated as not-suspicious traffic. Your curl instance has a different fingerprint and reads as more suspicious. This is Cloudflare working as intended.

    GitHub Copilot itself is up but it is having problems with "Grok Copilot Model Provider". No mention of OpenAI or Claude.

    Does this mean that GitHub has its own infrastructure for OpenAI and Claude? And that it distills prompts to Grok?
