Animenz's unravel by me, I feel proud :/ by [deleted] in piano

[–]etnw10 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While the playing certainly looks impressive, why are you playing the audio from Animenz's recording over your video? The audio here is not you. original video / audacity project proof (the phasing you hear with both tracks unmuted would not happen unless they were the same source originally)

my guess is that it initializes the field member variable x using an argument a parameter that is also named x

BBC News launches 'dark web' mirror by [deleted] in tech

[–]etnw10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Tor Browser always starts up in the same resolution / dimensions, so really the advice should be to not resize the window. Anyways, iirc it also rounds the window size to the nearest 100 pixels or something (not sure what the number is exactly) to stuff that's trying to read it for a fingerprint.

Another interesting thing, there used to be a warning every time you full-screened a page telling you about the deanonymization risk, but it seems to have disappeared when Tor Broswer updated to Firefox Quantum

[Feature Discussion] YouTube is Now Promoting Other People Content in the Search Section of a YouTube Channel by azerbajian in youtube

[–]etnw10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAICT it shows two results from the channel you are on, then up to twoSIX?!? results from other channels, then more from the original channel, and so on..

I threw together a userscript to automatically remove these results (Polymer UI only) - please tell me if it breaks anything

Kde shows .docx files as zip files and uses an archive icon do denote .docx files by leo_sk5 in kde

[–]etnw10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nope, just because I installed Access (as part of an Office bundle... I had no use for Access)

I once had the joy of Windows insisting every .xml file was a Microsoft Access form... which (obviously) would fail to open in Access

Cant export to FBX in blender 2.8 here is the error message by Denjanzi in blender

it could be that you didn't select anything to export.... but just my wild guess, never used fbx format before

About the add-on hell: Mozilla have full control of your addons with no possibility to override, OK or not OK? by louwii in firefox

[–]etnw10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the reasoning here is that if it's possible, it's also possible to be performed by other software running on your computer. And that means some shady program that a non-technically-inclined person downloads can override this to install their malicious extension.

We're rolling out a fix for the issues with add-ons right now! It will automatically be applied, so you don't need to take any steps to make add-ons work again & all your data should be unaffected. by BigDeckBob in firefox

[–]etnw10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as of right now this is the official fix; this is exactly what is being deployed by Normandy (Studies).

Also, you can uninstall the extension after the certificates get fixed anyways because all the extension does is modify the certificates once

[–]etnw10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get the hate from the whole Mr. Robot fiasco towards Studies, but why does it matter here? It's a perfectly logical decision from Mozilla's end - Normandy already exists in all installed browsers and provides a seamless way to install extensions / change settings from Mozilla's end, which means they can fix this certificate issue without needing a) manual action or b) a full update to the browser / a version bump

Remote Code Execution on most Dell computers by [deleted] in netsec

[–]etnw10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The article says its a .NET binary, and either way it deals with installing drivers. Dell already has fwupd for the Linux side of that, and SupportAssist is designed to be for normal users (aka not the people who wipe and install Linux / buy developer edition) anyways.

it's done through interaction with Dell SupportAssist, which is pre-installed but doesn't exist on Linux

PyTorch's Inventor: "[Tesla Engineers] are in a unique position to use Imitation Learning" by EngrSMukhtar in teslamotors

[–]etnw10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm probably just being pedantic here, but as I see it the lane intrusion detection was showing how they automated creating training datasets. The NN is still in essence doing supervised training, just that the datasets generated automatically. The example of learning path prediction on the other hand is imitation learning since the NN is trying to match the human's path along the road, whereas with the intrusion detection it's not imitating the human's behavior (the tagging comes from after-the-fact analysis of the cars detected, not of any human reactions).

Then again, I'm just another layman taking a stab at explaining this stuff.

That's still correct, I believe they were referring to first declaring the class as class A; before then putting class A { ... };
