mircea_popescu: i basically hope we keep losing it. seems
the more indermeddling,
the stronger
the republic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you know, last
time we relocated phuctor
there were significant gains.
this
time, even more significant.
mircea_popescu: maybe
time
to add "factors of a single modulus" stat
to stat page ?
mircea_popescu: right you are ; i was missing
that particular edge of braindamage from my mental model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't
take my meaning.
there can't be at
the same
time
the case
that a) "the cardinal of
the set of factors is 259" and b) "419 in
http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/419 denotes
the 419th factor". because if you have a 419th factor, howsoever serialized,
the cardinal of
the set of factors must be at least 419.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1810271 << i suspect
that
there is no physical operation involved, it is 100% chumpatronics, like all other subjects of usg.startupism at
this point
a111: Logged on 2018-05-06 06:56 mircea_popescu: Moduli Broken: 2489 << asciilifeform yeah
totally,
this did more in a few days
than
the old one did per month or
two.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-06 07:24 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, my question
to you is : if
there's "Factors Shared by
Two or More Moduli: 259" reported on
the stats page, yet
the factor index goes
to 419 (ie, I can see
http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/419 )
then what
the hell's going on ? are
there 259 or 419 factors ?
mircea_popescu: the only stable solution is when 50%+1 of all energy production goes
to mining ;
there's absolutely no space for "alternate" coins other
than an expensive luxury early on.
fromdeedbot: most "tokenized" use cases are not interested in building
their own chain
mircea_popescu: except with handpuppets and blockchains. but otherwise, same
thing.
mircea_popescu: "bch".
that
thing where some busker in san francisco declared himself "emperor of america".
mircea_popescu: so
then you know nobody
took
the bitcoin crash lulz seriously.
fromdeedbot: what do you guys
think of apps being built on BCH?
mircea_popescu: mkay. don't do
the join/part
thing, it pisses people off.
fromdeedbot: hey guys so I did register my RSA key
to deedbot as "fromdeedbot" but i got it working. I'm learning a lot of
things are new
to me right now so please xcuse me ahead of
time if i do something in bad from, it's not on purpose
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, my question

totally,

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, bitcoin's natural value is somewhere in between 150% and 300% or so of
the M3. so yes, i see bitcoin price exceeding
the aggregate cash value of most countries.
mircea_popescu: mother[m], but
they'd get very superficial samples neh ?
mother[m]: With Nadex, you're
trading binary options and it's at market-set prices. Which is more
than what I can say for quotes from Deribit for example. I agree on
that about
the bitcoin price signal. Do you see BTC
trading
to or past its highs
this year?
ben_vulpes: what's
the sampler-system design, i mean
ben_vulpes: what does
the sample-taking equipment look like?
mother[m]: mircea_popsecu definitely not ultrasound machinery.
Two ways. One is you have drones on surveillance flights. What it does provide you is a lot of high-res overlapping imagery you can generate aerial footage and 3d models of. You can combine
this with other seismic and geotech surveys
taken. Another way is
that you have drones able
to retrieve samples on-site, leaving a surveyors role more on analysis.
The cost reductions
mircea_popescu: anyway, re hunt, i can't imagine why one'd just do either ssl or ssh. gotta do both really at
the same
time, why not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, ima
try an' write
this up after
the
two weeks. unless you want
to ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i suppose
the fact of
the matter is, as keys get added
the likeliness of broken moduli staying secret drops... which may account for
the seeming density increase.
mircea_popescu: factors 236 << check
that out! it practically doubled it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you mean a fresh sks dump ? are we running a server or how did
that go ?
mircea_popescu: funny how
the "journalists" with "interests" are all covering
the various broken ssh keys in
the wild.
mircea_popescu: aha. so
this is covered for what, about 2 weeks (tm) ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i suppose after
the jurov set is also fed a new fermatting is in order ? considering
there's a lot of new numbers
to play with.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the fact
that between 4th of may and 6th of may it churned ~2mn moduli and cracked 76 is, in
the
terms, context and for
the mind of us limp dick "researchers" nothing short of staggering.
mircea_popescu: much more productive in
terms of new-factors density, huh.
ben_vulpes: very much in
the vein of "surely you're not..."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, i
thought you were discreetly suggesting not
to
try.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i was asking him not speaking
to my own knowledge

trb on rockchip, lobbes ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 20:52 mircea_popescu: well how
the fuck do you reconcile a and b,
the only
thing about youth is
that homework's not fucking done!
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 20:48 mircea_popescu: many better options for
the cheap mw ; and no fucking way a kw farm is worth anyone's
time.
that'd be like a 12 sq inch diner.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 17:00 mircea_popescu: it's
true
that
there are some websites printing random numbers, but
their fantasies lack any economic substance whatsoever, and
therefore eminently can;'t be relied on
to price derivative instruments.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 16:47 mircea_popescu: in other curios, what's drone utility for geosurvey anyway ? is
there some relationship between visual presentation and mineral deposits identified meanwhile ? or what,
they carry honest
to god radars and ultrasound machinery and whatnot ? afaik none of it could be fit in a
ten
ton
truck let alone a hundred gram drone.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 13:44 mother[m]: Going forward I wanted
to pivot
to Keybase
Teams.
mod6: lobbes: great job on getting
trb going, and on
tying up all
the ends so if anyone hits
that same problem again!
mircea_popescu: apparently usg came
to
terms with llvm failing in its strategic goals being unavoidable by now.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 16:11 asciilifeform: kurchatov, supposedly, sat and
thought, and few minutes later answered, 'perhaps from philosophical pov
this'd be consistent. but
then we will have
to forget about obtaining
the bomb.'
lobbes: hdd only, but I got
the aggressive patch applied, so will see if it can hack it
lobbes: 25 bezzlebucks a month. Some dc in Kansas or something
to
that effect
lobbes: I will soon blog
this into a proper post.. but mysql on heathen vps shit
the bed. Posts
to resume once migration
to rockchip box complete
lobbes: in other news, I have a
trb node up now and eating blocks (thanks
to mod6 for all his
troubleshooting efforts, and asciilifeform for confirmation of suspicions)
mircea_popescu: "For as long as
there is even one, all
the others have died in vain. And once
there's not a single one left,
they had never existed altogether in
the first place."
mircea_popescu: cuz it's never dark, from inside.
the amusing situation of classical eschatology is
that lucifer simply forked
the chain, and as best can
tell is a very credible and not at all falen angel.
☟︎ lobbes: 't see
the dark age from inside
lobbes: "nothing else outside of
the empire's walls.
this is it", so can do "anything" within
that reality, which reduces
to "nothing of import". But still, can
