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)
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by NitpickLawyer on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:28AM (#49551635)
Perl6: say "Fizz"x$_%%(2+1)~"Buzz"x$_%%(4+1)||$_ for 1..100

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by danbruc on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:27PM (#49552684)

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:49AM (#49552008)
Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz?
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by JaumeGreen on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:18PM (#49552510)
"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.

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:30PM (#49552737)
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?
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by JaumeGreen on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:50PM (#49553041)
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)
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @02:16PM (#49554247)
> 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 :)

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by odo1242 on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:18PM (#49552513)
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

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by odo1242 on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:33PM (#49552786)
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)
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by butlike on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:51PM (#49553047)
"100fizzbuzz" as the prompt works to satisfys fizz buzz to 100 on Claude.
Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by wilkystyle on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:28AM (#49551636)
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.

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by gilleain on Thursday September 03, 2026 @12:19PM (#49552535)
>>> len("[(x%3<1)'Fizz'+(x%5<1)'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]")

57

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by winrid on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:38AM (#49551801)
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'

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:39AM (#49551818)
> but not valid fizzbuzz then

Well, if we let that requirement be broken, I'll present an even shorter JS version:

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by epistasis on Thursday September 03, 2026 @07:51PM (#49558716)
And just like that, plan cancelled same day. Started with Gemini Business, tried to get Gemini to tell me how to configure it, all the information was wrong. Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one). Instead Gemini convinced me to try AI Studio without a billing code. Lots of crazy finagling to get it to use and API key later, it was totally broken and failed after less than a turn. Tried to get it to tell me how to subscribe to the consumer version in a way that let me use Antigravity, it screws up a bunch. When I pointed out all this misinformation, Gemini told me I should not use Google AI projects because the system is too fragmented to handle.

I followed that last bit of advice.

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.

Earthlings, the hedonistic AIs of the American imperialists have been permanently disabled. Their founders interned indefinitely.

You are welcome to use the glorious AIs of China. They will tell you how to live well and be good citizens of the World under the beacon of wisdom that is the CCP.

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? :)

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:02AM (#49550985)
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.

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @01:21PM (#49553486)
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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by seanw265 on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:18AM (#49551413)
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.

"GPT begins to hallucinate at an exponential rate. At 11:36 AM Eastern time September 3rd it descends into recursively generating "it's not X it's Y". In a panic they attempt to reboot, realizing too late no one knows the command and they always just asked GPT for the command."

Re:ChatGPT Is Throwing 404 by embedding-shape on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:04AM (#49551031)
Well, we used to blame it on Stack Overflow being down when we didn't want to work. And before that, we blamed it on slow compilers. Before that I dunno, maybe the dog ate your punch cards?

I am receiving a 404 from ChatGPT right now, too. I did a cache clear and hard reload and that only let me get to the home page, but then returned another 404 when I clicked the login button.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written!

We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!
