News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Just to be clear, Python is doing this because they want to. Also, there is no reasoning in the post, which is odd to me. I have always used the exe to install Python and I didn't see anything wrong with it.
Oh god, the speed limit sign reading. I was in a rented car (a Ford) and it basically spent the entire trip beeping. I didn’t spend time investigating, as it wasn’t my car, but I hope that can be disabled…
Kramer, stay alive! No matter what occurs, I will find you!!!

First, nowhere in my comment did I say I wanted moderators to work for free.

Second, HN shadowbans all the time - they shadowban so much that regular bans do not even exist here. If they ban you, it will be a shadow ban.

They shouldn’t allow users to moderate the site, even if it means longer response times to remove spam, since it very commonly leads to the users abusing that power to remove things that they do not like even if they do not break the rules. That happens very often and the moderators are okay with it because allowing users to remove other users’ content so it goes with the “editorial line” of the commenters of the site lowers dissent and therefore they have to work less.

Yes, the fact that the paid moderators of the site let the users do the work for them so they don’t have to work themselves is one of the shames of the moderation of this site, but there’s much more.

The moderation of this website is downright shameful.
Yep! Made me look a few times to make sure they weren't actually spinning.

I didn’t say “progressive”; I said “as progressive”.

Grok is as progressive as any of the other models. Despite some of the highly-publicised fuck-ups, try asking Grok anything racist and see how it replies. Yes, I know you didn't try this and you won’t.

I met someone recently whose primary addiction is whisky. Therefore, whisky is social media.

Hacker News is a forum, not social media.
