Oh great...ANOTHER Copy Fail...

@philip I think it'll be weeks or months, more likely months, before it's fixed.

It will remain fixed for a period of days or weeks.

Then it will break down again.

Some context for people seeing this outside Melbourne: Box Hill is the main commercial "hub" of Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It's not yet a second downtown, but there's some suggestions it could eventually become one.

There's a growing number of tall office buildings and apartment towers. I took some photos last time I was in Melbourne: https://pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauskas/911568051347668761

At the centre is a multimodal transport Interchange called Box Hill Central.

Underneath is a train station on two lines running from the centre of Melbourne to the outer eastern suburbs. On the ground floor is a shopping centre, market, and large food court. Nearby is a tram line and an under-construction metro.

And on the rooftop is a major bus station that serves multiple bus lines across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. I think about 12 or 14 in total?

There's whole suburbs where the sole connection to the rest of Melbourne's public transport network is a bus that runs to Box Hill Central.

Anyone transferring from those busses to a connecting train or tram, or travelling to Box Hill, depends on this one escalator.

@LanceTurner Yikes!

Yeah, AI agents and chatbots are cheaper than human staff.

Until it *DELETES YOUR PRODUCTION DATABASE*

"It only took nine seconds for an AI coding agent gone rogue to delete a company’s entire production database and its backups, according to its founder. PocketOS, which sells software that car rental businesses rely on, descended into chaos after its databases were wiped, the company’s founder Jeremy Crane said.

"The culprit was Cursor, an AI agent powered by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 model, which is one of the AI industry’s flagship models. As more industries embrace AI in an attempt to automate tasks and even replace workers, the chaos at PocketOS is a reminder of what could go wrong.

"Crane said customers of PocketOS’s car rental clients were left in a lurch when they arrived to pick up vehicles from businesses that no longer had access to software that managed reservations and vehicle assignments.
...
"The AI coding agent’s destructive escapade left PocketOS’ clients stranded. These businesses use the company’s software to manage reservations, payments, vehicle assignments and customer profiles.
...
"Crane says his company was able to restore data from a three-month-old backup they maintained offsite, but it took more than two days. PocketOS is also using information from Stripe, its calendars and emails to rebuild."

@ajsadauskas @joakimfors While the green coating is not contiguous, the bike lane is.

If you look at the first photo, the concrete path to the left of the shrubs is the regular footpath for walking. So it's completely separated from both cars and pedestrians.

The dedicated bike lane runs the entire length of the street, beyond the roundabout.

I've attached a screenshot from Google Maps with the bike lane marked in purple.

At the northern end, it connects with a light rail stop, as well as shared pedestrian/cycling paths along the Parramatta River (marked in yellow). There's also a few fairly large apartment developments, and a large girl's school, and a university nearby as well.

The light rail runs to the main public square, business district, a major public hospital, and the main restaurant street in Parramatta. The river runs to the northern end of the business precinct.

(I've circled the main Parramatta Central Business District in red.)

At the southern end, it connects to a shared pedestrian/cycling path under the motorway. (The motorway is elevated with the path underneath. I've marked it in green.) It's also close to the suburban train stations at Granville and Clyde.

So it's a valuable north-south cycling link that significantly improves the overall bike network in the area.
