We're going to need journalists to stop talking about synthetic text extruding machines as if they have *thoughts* or *stances* that they are *trying* to *communicate*. ChatGPT can't *admit* anything, nor *self-report*. Gah.

Well here's a weird one...

Key sections from the U.S. Constitution have gone missing from the U.S. government's official website, including sections 8 through 10, which include legal provisions like habeas corpus (aka due process). The White House hasn't commented.

Here's a news article covering it, thx @billseitz https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/did-congress-official-constitution-site-just-delete-references-to-parts-of-article-1/ar-AA1K0QFb

BTW why put the "question" thing up there, just answer the question, yes it was

So uh, it appears the US constitution's official version on constitution.congress.gov has whole sections removed from it: https://slrpnk.net/post/25696399

Amongst others being the removal of the section saying "habeas corpus shall not be suspended"

How the fuck does "REASON=Low socket*core*thread count, Low CPUs" happen?

(turns out that's what happens when you typo the node specs and tell the controller the node has more than it actually does)

More and more software shows timestamps as “2 hours ago” etc (a phone trend), and that’s fine maybe in the first 12 hours.
After that it should be the absolute timestamp. “1 week ago, 1 month ago” gives me very little information.

Share this with anyone you see claiming ice is only going after criminals. They aren’t.
