I can see whether the site is down or not. Seems pretty clear.
Just be aware that other users have already noticed messages which could be deliberate false alarms: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/EW8yZYcu3Kff2qShS/petrov-day-2021-mutually-assured-destruction?commentId=JbsutYRotfPDLNskK
I will be on the lookout for false alarms.
I don’t think you’ll be able to retaliate if the site is down.
In the message sent to holders of launch codes that’s repeated in this post, it says:
LessWrong and the EA Forum both have second-strike capability that will last one hour.
The site will remain up for one hour with a message that a missile is incoming (based on what I described here), and that message could be a false alarm.
Hmm, actually, it’s not clear to me whether the site will go down immediately (with the button in tact) or after an hour.
