theory must be put into practice in order to have value

Having given a correct definition of social consciousness, Marxist theory also indicates its place in the life of society. One cannot transform society by transforming ideas alone. To make society better, to make life truly human, it is necessary to reorganise social being. And social consciousness plays a highly important part in it. It gives man knowledge of the methods of transforming life. Seizing the masses, social consciousness urges them to work for the transformation of reality. That is why Marx stated that "... theory... becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses.”

It's mind blowing to consider that these events are only 58 years apart.

Can you imagine being astounded that people can fly and then later in life, you're astounded again as they literally leave earth.

I can't see how a company can lose 80% of the workers and keep functioning. All the knowledge that's gonna be lost at once is going to have devastating effects on the ability to run things day to day.

For those of you keeping score, if 80% of the remaining staff is taking the severance deal, this means Twitter’s workforce is going from ~7500 to ~640 in less than a month.

mighty-snitch is a linux security module communicates via netlink with the userspace snitch on each sendmsg/recvmsg.

snitch decides whether to allow or deny the network request.

rules are checked. if no rule exists, a visual prompt is displayed to the user.

finally snitch responds to the kernel and the request is allowed or denied.

Covid-19 mutations have proven nearly impossible for drugmakers to keep up with. Omicron’s newest variants threaten to render the last two antibody drugs on the market ineffective.

@yogthos The main reason I've avoided getting any additional boosters after my initial shots a year or so ago. I said when it started that I hope it doesn't wind up like the flu and mutating constantly, because I just don't feel like getting stabbed constantly with drugs that are only gonna be partially effective and only for short periods of time.

Sergey Kereyev shows what happens when you give GPT-3 a Python interpreter.

The model can do exact math, make API requests, answer in unprecedented ways

This talk will demonstrate what everyone has long feared but never proven: there are hardware backdoors in some x86 processors, and they're buried deeper than we ever imagined possible. While this research specifically examines a third-party processor, we use this as a stepping stone to explore the feasibility of more widespread hardware backdoors.

@yogthos Check out his Sandsifter video too. There are hundreds of completely undocumented instructions in X86. Wonder what they could be for. Hmm
