Noland Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, on learning to use neurallink: “So there’s a difference between *attempting* to move it [the cursor] versus *imagining* to move it. Attempting, I feel like is kind of cheating. It’s probably not, but when I attempt to move something it does feel like I’m moving it with, say, my hand or my wrist, even though you can’t see it. To me, I can feel things in my arm moving around. Maybe you just can’t understand, I guess. When I first moved it just by thinking it… it blew my mind for like a day. Like I just could not wrap my head around it. It was so cool.” (Starting at 29:55) x.com/ModdedQuad/status/1771298116719002100

Would everyone please stop sha256ing everything?

I started using Bitkey last week and want to share some of my early feedback. (Bitkey is a tool for owning bitcoin which requires you to use any two of a mobile key, hardware key, and server key for transactions. The hardware key and mobile key can be used to recover each other.) 1.) If I choose to make an encrypted backup of my mobile key for "social recovery", how would I know if my "trusted contacts" lose their encryption key or not? It looks like you already got this feedback from some security reviewers here: View quoted note → 2.) The business structure of Bitkey is unclear to me. I can't tell if Bitkey is a simple part of Block, Inc. or a separate child company. 3.) The long-term incentive structure of Bitkey is unclear to me. Currently it appears that there is only hardware revenue. I wonder if service revenue will ever become necessary. Overall, I love it! This is the first self-custodial tool I would recommend to my friends and family. My bitcoin ownership recommendations are now the following: 1.) Bitkey 2.) btc etf 3.) Coinbase cc: @Thomas, @jack

Any freedom of association in the discourse these days?

Father forgive me for I have not drank my cup.

@hzrd149 What’s your thought behind showing someone’s nostr address two different places on profiles?

Roth IRA or btc?

Tidal.

I’m trying to serve God with my life but I’m also still learning what that even means.

Need to start a family asap to fast track my own alignment.

@Perky I saw your Wikifreedia entry on English and it got me wondering. What are your thoughts about copying entries over from Wikipedia?
