Any chance this is causing the claude issues directly/indirectly?


Most people assume its because of the influx in chatgpt users switching to claude. 295% daily uninstall hike of ChatGPT: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/chatgpt-uninstalls-surged-...


Why would they funnel all their traffic to a middle eastern AZ?


Capacity is tight, you serve from where you can.


Probably also because most token use cases are not latency sensitive. A 200ms extra delay isn't going to change much for most use cases.


Right, so if they were able to get a discount in UAE…

This comment makes it seem as if it's the US who striked the Amazon data center.


The US lost 3 of its own fighter jets yesterday due to friendly fire[0], is it out of the realm of possibility?

US tax dollars blowing up US tax dollars. Lockheed Martin and Boeing stonks go up.


Generally speaking defense contractors do not make more money during wars, because we start asking them to make low-margin realistic stuff, whereas in peace time we get bored and start paying them to design imaginary superweapons.

But we also usually don't blow up our own planes I suppose.


>Generally speaking defense contractors do not make more money during wars

US economy is not in war mode right now in order to ask its contractors to make cheap stuff.


It wasn't the US attacking the UAE, just FYI.


I find it more likely that Anthropic has rented space in other data centers in the region that were also impacted by Iranian retaliation


i cannot upvote this enough, the keyboard is a DAILY annoyance, especially selecting words


I'd be interested to know what agents you're using. You mentioned Claude and GPT in passing, but don't actually talk about which you're using or for which tasks.


Cybertruck was /the/ sign that things with Elon had... changed, IMO!


Idk, his twitter account was enough to sort out he had lost control over himself.


How did you manage to acquire /four/ bullies?


1. This was over the course of almost 20 years; one in elementary school, two in junior-high, one in high school

2. I'm an insufferable know-it-all.


You deserve a muffin for the way you delivered it


source? all that is being reported is her asking for proof of life and him back


That information is outdated by now. The assessment was based on Trump's claim that the US will work together directly with her instead of Machado, whom he considers unfit to be president right now. It was an attempt of giving a rational explanation of Trump's and Rubio's press conference. I assumed that in order for their statements to make sense there would have to be some backdoor deal with her. However, she has given a speech now condemning the attack and refuting the US narrative (although, leaving some door open for diplomacy).

I can't edit the original comment any longer so I hope people read this one. In any case, the situation is still very fluid.


Google and Google Ads are not one and the same.

The jump from the op's "i screwed up my google ads campaigns" to "Research shows that many young people are getting their information from short video platforms like TikTok"....

i mean, c'mon


If Google Ads was cut off from Google, would they still be profitable?


exactly

end of the day, guys like the author, for better or worse, are going to be replaced by the next generation of developers who don't care for the 'aesthetics' in the same way


And that’s before you even get to the asymmetric costs.


Another message of hope: I'm mid-late thirties and had the exact same. Daily tinnitus from December 2024 through to around August 2025.

I went through MRI etc to no avail.

Then one day I felt something (extremely deep in my ear) just 'release', like a tube unblocking or pressure equalising. And the sound went away and (fingers crossed) hasn't come back since. This was after daily issues for 8-9 months solid.
