  @vaughan_k @Optus I don’t know exactly but I did eventually login on my computer. Can’t get the app to download my bills on my phone. But my bills look different so I may have been migrated to a different billing system.

  GLM is a lot less "forgiving" than Opus/GPT; use these techniques in your long workflows to avoid many GLM errors: 1⃣ incremental output - don't output at the end, make your agents output incrementally while working 2⃣ checkpoint writes - glm agents can timeout very easily during reasoning phases, so have them output checkpoints to prevent this 3⃣ tighten prompts - glm seems a lot dumber than opus/gpt at figuring out what the correct action is, so tighten up your prompts to remove any ambiguity 4⃣ negative & positive enforcement - opus/gpt generally do the right thing if given the reasons why that is the right thing to do, but glm benefits from explicitly being told what to not do since it loves to misbehave 5⃣ tolerate output variance - glm is worse at outputting correct formats. Tighten up output specification prompts but also consider tolerating greater output variance & using deterministic output cleanup to format things correctly 6⃣ verify outputs, auto retry - glm can return seemingly "successful" but without writing any outputs, it can return weird tooling info in its outputs, there are lots fo weird things that can happen. Ensure to check the outputs for correctness, diagnose the cause of failures & have automated system in place to re-try failed spawns using prompts which instruct the retried agent to correct the errors Perhaps I've just been spoiled by Optus/Gpt but GLM feels quite "rough around the edges" in comparison.

  @Kate3015 Remember 18 Sept 2025 when Optus had a 000 outage because no one though to make some test calls to ensure the service was working after an upgrade? Doing a test is basic common sense.

  @JHewy23 @wigley_matthew @FootyonNine By “this crap” do you mean obvious fact?? So Optus stadium is Freo’s home ground. If they had 4 other sides that use it as their home ground too, but Freo had twice the supporter base of those clubs so can dominate the crowd noise each week and barely leave WA you wouldn’t see that as an enormous advantage over the competition??? Of course it is. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong at all, they have to play the other teams that occupy the MCG as home also. It’s also not any fault of Collingwood to have the biggest supporter base in the land either. Both points can be correct at the same time. But there’s no doubt it’s an enormous advantage every year for Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne and Hawthorn….

  @JacintaAllanMP Wasn’t Anika Smells supposed to put something in place in the case of such scenarios after the Optus outage? The fault for this lies with Labor

  @VoteLewko @LewSpears Not happening. The service will be delivered thru telstra and Optus not instead of.

  I hope the telecommunications industry fines @Telstra for this outage the same way they did Optus!!!

  Wondering whether the Telstra CEO Vicky Brady will break down and cry when she fronts up to the media about the system outage, just like the Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin did, following the system outage in 2022?
