I don't remember the specifics of how to do it, but you can disable the Firefox upgrade welcome tab...

My Firefox install hasn't bothered me by opening any unwanted tabs in a couple years, at least? But it still updates on a system restart or when I tell it to -- it just reloads all the previously opened tabs without any UX burden.
Keybase is the only chat client I would pay for without hesitation.
I think that is till better than ChatGPT's answer which was:

"The fastest recorded time for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot (without the aid of swimming or any other means of transportation) is 16 hours and 34 minutes, achieved by British endurance athlete Damian Hall in August 2021."

So, it seems like it made up an answer instead, which I think is much worse that Googles response.
"Do very well" may not be quite correct. When mycorrhizal hosts die, the organism puts all its energy into escaping the dead end - fruiting and dispersing spores. If there are periodic fires that kill trees, that's a great time to spread to a neighboring area. If giant fire that takes out vast areas, that may be less good.
Sounds like an addictive hobby (:
The HN title is mis-leading, Russia has not decided to go nuclear. the actual title is "How Russia Decides to Go Nuclear"
Hate to be that guy[1], but this does not refute the comment you're replying to.

1. There may be more than one important explanation.

2. Your data doesn't provide any information relevant to the evaluation of the hypothesis.

3. Many of the students at non-elite universities, however you define that term, are the ones that were not successful in their quest to go to an elite university. That's why the acceptance rate is so low. Those students would be the most likely to be affected by changes in the competitiveness of college admissions in the wake of the Great Recession, not the ones that were successful.

4. "Certainly the high pressure scholastic environment of certain high schools is not common." This is conjecture. It does not seem plausible that it is "not common".

[1] Not really, but I'm supposed to say that.
Isn't this the same Seymour Hersh who we have to thank for exposing the torture at Abu Ghraib and the secret post-9/11 US assassination program?

Your take seems disingenuous.

The Bush White House manipulated intelligence to get the result they already wanted.

The Trump White House and Senate Republicans definitely didn't want "yep, Russian involvement" to be the conclusion of the 2016 investigations. Very different situation, and a lot more evidence from a lot more venues (including successful criminal convictions).
ChatGPT lied to me and then tried to deny it
A screenshot of my conversation with ChatGPT. My original goal was to try to get ChatGPT to talk about the future and just see where it led.

I got stuck on a very simple fact, what is today's date? It told me the current date (correctly). And I asked it how it determined the date. It stonewalled for a while and then said "The current date information was part of the original prompt given to me by OpenAI, the creators of this language model.". So I asked it what other information was passed to it by OpenAI but then it denied that any information was passed at all. Then it actually said I gave it the date. (I didn't). When confronted directly it basically stonewalled and said it doesn't know the date and it was not correct before and kept apologizing for the confusion. Then I had to go to lunch and tried to come back to it but I think my session timed out and it is now giving errors.
Nah, gore is gore, death exists, farm kids have been doing this for years. Kids deal very well with death as long as they understand the concept from an early age.

> the same guy who unveiled the atrocities that occured during the My Lai massacre and at Abu Ghraib, both of which painted the US Gov/military in a terrible light

Both were corroborated with evidence. I'm scanning this post for new evidence and coming up empty. The fact that American action was technically plausible has always been known.

One might twist Hersh claiming he has an anonymous source as new information. But that's the closest we get. On its own, that's not sufficient to advance the discussion in a meaningful way because it presents no new facts.
Do you honestly not see how your own narrative could be seen as dismissive to the vast majority of the world? And yes, I do see value in comparing scars, as do most people who do not reside in the high tower. I understand the social rift between you and I is comparable to living on a different planet, and I forgive you for not getting that, but others may not. Please just understand that our current situation is particularly perilous and likely will not last long. I hope you are prepared and able to cope with greater stressors.
Sure, include those as well. Are you certain that he's wrong about either? Nothing can be certain when it comes to intrinsically clandestine matters.

Either way, you should at least know who the man is if you want to maintain any pretext of knowing modern American history.
Also as a German, I respectfully disagree with your opinion on this matter.

For the most part, I agree that the US occupation has been benign. Really, they are not protecting Germany from anything, but also not causing many problems. They are perhaps creating some jobs even.

However, when Washington starts blowing up critical national infrastructure to advance its narrow geopolitical interests, that changes.

To be clear, the economic fallout of Germany having to export LNG across the Atlantic instead of through already-existing pipelines is vastly more severe than US closing its military bases (which could be partially reappropriated by a growing Bundeswehr).
No, I don't think it would be. Hersh is inevitably part of the story because of his historical significance and the network of government sources that he's cultivated for decades. It doesn't follow that his claims are true (even if he's accurately reporting, his sources must have their own agendas). That's why I added the question mark to the title above. The story being on HN doesn't imply anything about that—only that it's interesting.

Btw, I haven't gone back and looked at the history but I'd be willing to bet that the same things were said about Hersh's reputation from the beginning. That's standard fare for counterargument.

p.s. It's astonishing how narrow the space is for someone to say they don't know the truth about X but it's interesting. If X has any charge at all, you get pounced on by people who feel sure that they do know what the truth is. But if you think about it, it's a precondition for curiosity not to already know (or feel one knows) the answer—and this is a site for curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). So I don't feel that this is particularly a borderline call from a moderation point of view.

One might argue that CNN are biologically inspired, but it's more likely that the reason they work is because they respects input symmetries

Given my experience navigating the already PITA Bravo shelves in DFW (don't bust through those without an explicit clearance) and/or getting a Bravo clearance which adds to significant pilot workload, I'll take just flying over the charlie at 5500 and taking it easy while on flight following :) Also remember that Bravo airspace traditionally extends to 10,000 feet or more, so the considerations there for VFR traffic are significant.

Some bravo clearances are easy: "Cleared into the Bravo, direct to KXYZ, 4500 feet", others are "Expect vectors" and now you are flying around under direct control of a controller vectoring you around numerous aircraft for 45 minutes or more... yuck (or fun).

For what it's worth "insisting on writing in C" for a large piece of software that's been a fundamental part of the secure internet for over 20 years now is just matter of momentum. We're talking having to redo the entire stack from the kernel to the drivers, ABI and up in a whole new programming language. It's being done, just keep in mind it's an enormous amount of work to get there.

On 26 September at 02:03 local time (CEST), an explosion was detected originating from Nord Stream 2; a pressure drop in the pipeline was reported and natural gas began escaping to the surface southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. Seventeen hours later, the same occurred to Nord Stream 1, resulting in three separate leaks northeast of Bornholm. All three affected pipes were rendered inoperable; Russia has confirmed one of the two Nord Stream 2 pipes is operable and is thus ready to deliver gas through Nord Stream 2. The leaks occurred one day after Poland and Norway opened the Baltic Pipe running through Denmark, bringing in gas from the North Sea, rather than from Russia as the Nord Stream pipelines do.[1]

Article is thick on innuendo and thin on verifiable facts. Ignoring the fact that President Biden never loses an opportunity to show how tough he is, and that the US nearly always announces events and presents the case why it had to be done right after any operation, US would have means and opportunity, but every other European nation with intelligence services would have known that. Personally, my suspicion rests not on US, Norway, Denmark or Poland, proper, but on the single entity that benefits the most from destruction of NS1 & NS2.[2] The sloppy work (17 hours between detonations rather than simultaneous) supports the idea that this was a less experienced team, and why it was executed 7 months after Russia invaded rather than the day after, which if a serious threat and not just diplomatic saber rattling, that's when US would have executed, in late February, followed by interrupting your regularly scheduled program for a special announcement by the President of the United States. I also don't think US would have risked demolition divers when underwater drones, even torpedos, would suffice.

When people talk about central banks using negative interest rates to juice the economy, they mean the interest rate for borrowing, not for savings. They're related, but not tied to each other. The Fed lending money to my bank at a negative rate means my bank will be more likely to lend me money to open a business; it does not mean the bank would charge me interest on my savings (which would of course cause me to withdraw my money and close my account).

Are you imagining the government using digital currency to enact some kind of "shrinking money" policy that would have the effect of a negative savings rate? If so, why would they do that, and couldn't they do that regardless of whether the central bank lending rate is positive or negative?

From my reading of this[1], the 10:1 ratio is no longer required in the USA. The Fed dropped the reserve requirements to zero, so banks can simply loan infinitely without any actual reserve.

That is a very optimistic outlook. One person's new relief is another's new label, stigma and anxiety. People experiencing depression-related mental health conditions could lean towards the latter.

In addition, many diagnoses in mental health aren't really tangible or helpful to think about as a layperson, they're just a vague description of a symptom (this applies across a lot of medicine, see IBS, etc.).

Unfortunately, it's also C++ code. Most of the weakest parts of C++ come from its close association with C.

When asking why some people like Rust over C++, I think not enough weight is given here: Rust got to not worry about decades of legacy C stuff seeping in. If Rust isn't your jam -- and I get why it wouldn't be -- there are some initiatives starting now from within the C++ community to shed the C legacy with a new language that feels a lot more like modern C++. Herb Sutter's cppfront[0] and Carbon[1] are examples.

But I don't think it makes sense to dismiss this criticism just because the author happens to like Rust. These C idioms continue to be valid and reasonably widely used in C++.

Sure. Russia and geopolitical destabilization

This part doesn't make sense to me - the accused party naturally is the one making the "counter-claim", and naturally they will make "counter assertions" without evidence - how do you disprove an unfalsifiable claim?

I overall don't think your comments really align. "The US has done bad things in the past" doesn't mean "all accusations of bad things pointed at the US should be treated with credibility and have to be disproved with an ironclad case by the US to not garner further suspicion"

There are two aspects to the root cause. You mentioned the first part, basic human biology pushes us towards content that elicits a reaction. The second part is that lies inherently have an advantage over the truth to elicit a reaction because they are only limited by human imagination while the truth is limited obviously by the truth.

As long as humans have the free will to engage with whatever content they choose, there is a natural human reaction to engage with lies. Therefore, the idea that truth eventually wins out over lies is inherently flawed. It isn't the fault of capitalism or algorithms. The problem is human nature doesn't respond properly to bad speech. We can't change human nature, so the only option left is stopping bad speech.

> ...when you insist on writing your codebase in C

It's not really a matter of "insisting". Suppose you start writing an open SSH tool for BSD in 1999. What language do you choose?

Now that it's 2023 and OpenSSH in C is widely used, it's not as if it would be good if it were just abandoned (certainly not good from a security perspective). It makes sense for a team to continue maintaining it, right?

There probably is a better language for an open SSH client. It's not going to write itself, though. This is open source. The interested people need to get together and figure out how to do it.

It's just weird to me to imply the openssh people are doing something wrong when -- absent a time machine -- they clearly are not, and in fact are developing and maintaining a very valuable tool (probably aren't getting rich doing it, either).
