One of the other criticisms commonly leveled against DHM by those ensconced in the bourgeois knowledge regime is that it is dogmatic and objectivist, or even that it purports to be totalizing in its knowledge claims. However, DHM understands itself to be a science in the broad sense of Wissenschaft—meaning a reliable method and form of knowledge in general—and makes a more minimal claim: it is possible to distinguish between more or less accurate accounts of reality.24 This does not require omniscience or some form of total and absolute understanding of the real, including perhaps predicting the future. Wissenschaft is, instead, a histori- cal process of collectively developing tools of analysis, testing them in real- ity, and modifying them based on experience. As a Wissenschaft, DHM is founded on the primacy of practice, not the dogmatic preeminence of theory or the rigid objectivism found in positivistic bourgeois sciences (let alone the God-like omniscience that anti-Marxists sometimes project on it).

felt relevant. i agree Hegel is not that useful for would-be-revolutionaries. Cockshott i disregard due to hitlerite tendencies. not a serious guy.

    What was the timeline on PS5 emulation again?

    https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5

    they keep discovering new system libraries so the % implemented has been going down over the last few weeks, lol. there seems to have been an explosion of ambitious vibe-coded projects lately and i am watching some of them with interest but can't help but think most of them will be reduced to an unmaintainable mess within a few years (as is happening with more or less all software currently...)

    Protestantism has definitely had its millenarianism/humanist strains (probably more so than Catholics) but as another commenter said that was mostly earlier in its history. it depends on whether you're doing the comparison today or on historical grounds i guess

    fiction or non-fiction. centralising my reading list and it's just a topic that's been bouncing around my head a lot lately. in the sense that i'm struggling with it and have for a long time, but also wanting to get a bit more academic with it/expand my horizons/feel seen. putting a preemptive CW for the topic.

     

    second monitor view:

    some info:

    • this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.

    • my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I'm also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.

    • CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing

    my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I'd rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit

     

    I've been saying for years they're gonna find some new and strange way vapes are worse for you than cigarettes

    Some popular disposable e-cigarettes emit toxic metals at levels that surpass those found in traditional cigarettes and earlier generations of vapes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.

    The study, published Wednesday in ACS Central Science, found that a single day’s use of one disposable device released more lead than nearly 20 packs of conventional cigarettes.

    Researchers also identified hazardous concentrations of nickel and antimony — metals linked to cancer, nerve damage and respiratory illness — in the aerosol emitted by seven devices from three widely used disposable vape brands.

    “Our study highlights the hidden risk of these new and popular disposable electronic cigarettes — with hazardous levels of neurotoxic lead and carcinogenic nickel and antimony — which stresses the need for urgency in enforcement,” Brett Poulin, assistant professor of environmental toxicology at UC Davis and the study’s senior author, said in a statement.

    Using a lab device to simulate 500 to1,500 puffs per product, the UC Davis researchers found that metal concentrations increased with use. Leaded bronze components and degrading heating coils were identified as major sources of contamination.

    “When I first saw the lead concentrations, they were so high I thought our instrument was broken,” lead author Mark Salazar said in a statement.

    Four of the devices emitted nickel and lead at levels surpassing safety thresholds for neurological and respiratory damage. Two exceeded cancer risk limits due to antimony content.
