BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I'm thinking you set up the normal carved while you wait booth at the mall or carnival or whatever with your laser, but you plug in a joystick and a trackball to make it seem like you are piloting the laser manually.

mircea_popescu: once they decided i killed poor anton (god rest his stupid, scammy soul), i discovered... whoa.
mircea_popescu: davout you know, here's the thing with twitter : back when i had an account, i kept thinking all sorts of in retrospect bizarre nonsensical, fatlogic-y rationalisations for why i'm spending time there.

thestringpuller: jurov: yes. when it all becomes fluid like water I guess the conscious mind is not really present?
lobbes: thestringpuller davout: yes, and I would agree that I have reached this 'realization' more than once
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Well Maybe there's a hazard. It isn't ideal, but I don't know of a great version of bitcoin yet.

lobbes: davout: That I've realized my ignorance? lel, yeah I guess that's the first step, right?
lobbes: The more I read, the more I realize I don't know anything. Nor do the bitcoin devs for that matter
