- pavel_lishin 15y agoYou should read Asimov's "Insert Knob A in Slot B". edit: fixed story title, it was knob, not tab.
- jashmenn 15y agoDo you have a link to this story/essay? I'd love to read it but I'm having a hard time finding anything authoritative about it.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoMy mistake, it's actually "Insert Knob A Into Slot B", and it's here: http://dpaste.com/692782/ http://dpaste.com/692782/
- simcop2387 15y agoI think because he's got the name off slightly, it's Insert Knob A In Hole B. As for finding a copy of it, well you should be able to do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insert_Knob_A_In_Hole_B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insert_Knob_A_In_Hole_B
- Zephyr314 15y agoYou can already print a machine that prints other machines, but you still need a human to make the first one (for now). http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2010/06/04/a-makerbot-self-replicates/ http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2010/06/04/a-makerbot-self-repl...
- BHSPitMonkey 15y agoActually, you need a human to assemble and wire up all of them, not just the first one.
