I think you can do this with Jitsi: https://jitsi.org/

They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.


Hah, my first reaction once I saw these random 404 errors was "Maybe it's time to test Claude Code again with the new models" but made a short stop here at HN first, ended up reading your comment.

What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)


OpenCode and Pi. Anything that uses open models, really.

Independence Day > Judgement Day


OpenCode Desktop + Muse Spark 1.3 Free is actually surprisingly good.


GLM 5.3 (usually flash) + OpenCode.


pi.dev + anything else


That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404


Distributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.


> Distributed systems are hard

... when vibe-coded.


Vibe coded or not, building and running distributed systems is hard :P I think only people who never built and/or ran them would say it isn't hard, regardless of what tools you have available. Not saying OpenAI won't find it extra hard due to their vibe coding, still hard when you're a group of knowledgeable people with/without AI.


Yeah who wrote that website? Oh right


Agreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`


At the very least, should be a 429


exactly - this should be trivial.


Yep, this is most likely it. The shift is fast and enormous.


Maybe only in some regions?


Down for me in SE SA


Providers should surge capacity when another provider fails.


The full interview was more interesting than this piece.

It will be interesting to see if LLM can push beyond the intelligence embedded in language.

General intelligence may still be a ways off.


General intelligence is a convenient myth perpetuated by the marketing departments of AI corpos to help further their pursuit of regulatory capture. Don't fall for it.


Please don't use LLM to write HN comments. To quote the guidelines[0], "HN is for conversation between humans".

Off-topic, but clicking this link instantly crashes my desktop in both Firefox and Chromium. Debian 13 with backports kernel, AMD laptop graphics.

I have never seen anything like it in 20 years of Linux desktop use.


Firefox and Vivaldi browsers on Gentoo, NVIDIA GPU, both work normally with that link.

So it must be something very specific to what software you have installed, unless it is an AMD GPU problem, but neither of the 2 links (x and xcancel) has anything that seems to need special GPU features.

It certainly is not a general Linux problem. I also use XFCE as desktop, so if you use Gnome it could be some Gnome component.


Evry, not Every.


Autocorrect hates these neologistic company names...


Does this mean exe.dev will become open source? Or is it not a developer tool?


It's a VM hosting service. The devtools they have in mind run on top. But there are other open source projects that will help you self-host.


You sort of answered your own question.

Another reason is compiling with -Werror and hitting new warnings.

Also, the version of the spec changes with almost every major release.


I made a UI with htmx, it works great.

But now I want to add a JSON API to the program: I could reuse the same routes (/create, etc), but require an application+json header; or add a full /api/ component essentially duplicating the logic from the main app.

Neither option is great.


Fat services, thin routes. Try moving your business logic to a library and consume it from both your UI and API routes. That minimizes duplication and decouples your public API resolvers (with backwards compatibility requirements etc) from your private UI resolvers (which you want to evolve rapidly to optimize your UIX).

That's what we did and it works pretty well in practice.


I do get kind of annoyed that htmx submits forms using form url encoding. It's non trivial to validate, see https://igor.moomers.org/posts/zod-schemas-htmx

As a result for POST requests you have to have htmx routes that accept urlencode and API routes that accept JSON, and JSON is far superior. But for outputs I actually think separating your UI and API is helpful. The code reuse is not worth the entanglement of concerns.


Ok, for the sake of completeness–why do you want to add a JSON API to the program? Quite a lot depends on the reason.


It's a service, and I want to add a CLI for humans and agents. Aeolos' reply makes a lot of sense, I can refactor the backend into a library and add thin UI and API routes on top of it.
