mircea_popescu: (anyway no, it's by no means expensive for the specs, we got
a nice one-offsie on account of other business etc)
mircea_popescu: also, did i mention lisp isn't used in production anywhere today ? wouldn't want to skip
a day :D
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor you know, you could in principle write all this stuff yourself. if it's any good odds are it'll get accepted/used. if not, odds are you'll get
a very scathing review from alf making you doubt your sexuality and other life choices.
mircea_popescu: hey, this is what the internet does & is for my dear phf : taking
a very reasonable statement way the fuck out of context.
phf: mircea_popescu: just irked, there's
a rare "human record" kind of data that ben_vulpes deals with that exceeds 8gb. why don't you taunt us with your hadron collider data dumps some more?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-02 19:14 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but he has
a point ; once we get conversion going running
a ssh-keyscan werker is good idea.
mircea_popescu: you seriously should make
a proper nick and register your pgp with deedbot.
gribble: Error: "v" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: this shit is not
a compiler. it's
a low effort parser with delusions and pretensions.
mircea_popescu: the compiler is more than happy to make
a linked list of fixints and do the carryovers as required.
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber and while on this topic : it beggars belief that bignum-as-linked-list-of-any-size-up-to-avail-ram is not
a fucking standard in gcc in 2016.
BingoBoingo: The one at the top that isn't struck through is right, I the struck through I forgot to replace
a value from last month.

a result, they end up hand-crafting the tail. the ready equivalent would be
a "new, modern" game of chess, where as the game progresses more and more moves have to be verified against
a rulebook ; and then against
ascii_deadfiber: just crapping out the oodles of small primes
a typical int is divisible by
mircea_popescu: dun worry bout it, he won't be able to outlive it no matter what else he does. from experience half
a decade later or w/e he'll start whining about how it should be deleted.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone have
a general number field sieve implementation in anything ?
mircea_popescu: rly game looks spiffy (on all of them!), as the data moves from kb to mb and the node count goes up and on and on, the thing (all of them!) collapses in
a pile of uncaught, "nobodycouldhavepredicted" complexity explosions. and all this because idiot/voodoo expert came up with the brilliant idea of "hey, we make robot for your nuclear plant, and if it drops the pu brick you just pick it up by hand and put it back in the hopper

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: historically, stonemasons had
a better time of it working for temples than gaols.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-03 00:31 asciilifeform: finally the ancient prophecy coming true,
a genuine merger of software and conventional voodoo !
a111: Logged on 2016-05-02 23:56 asciilifeform: incidentally, didn't the derp already have
a 'we did ALL the keyz' post LAST may ?
mircea_popescu: and holy shit does twitter load
a lot of spurious junk.
mircea_popescu: he even has
a gavinesque retarded face, also. what's with all these mongoloid cheeks everywhere in the dumbass "computing co-manatee" ?
BingoBoingo: And no, the good fiber in the midwest is in exurbs. Usually connects to nearest urban center and
a further urban center because
gribble: Error: "up" is not
a valid command.
phf: Sorry I'm on phone and just needed to pipe in. But I picked up datomic on
a project as "clojure take on allegro cache" and I was expecting similar performance (tens of millions of records on
a reasonable machine)
ben_vulpes: because if it cannot support multiple web hosts, it is not
a db with which i will fuck.
ben_vulpes: seemed very specifically
a CLOS data store.
ben_vulpes: simple an EAVT data store with
a single threaded writer. caches recent images of the db in peer memory (yes, 'immutable' db).
ben_vulpes: effectively
a distributed prolog-alike db, to the extent that i can be trusted to call something 'prolog-alike'
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, datomic is
a *very* spiffy data abstraction layer.
phf: the-phuctoring is second top ref from trilema, losing out by
a large margin to top ref ill-pay-for-your-tits
phf: since today is
a looking at stats day, btcbase is at modest 3500 hits right now, which has been the average since about april 6th, but note that the day is not over and system has been down for almost 8 hours. the number of hits brought by referer has spiked though to ~~500, and looking at graph roughly correlates to trilema posts. not surprisingly the top referer is trilema at ~~1000, followed by qntra at ~~600 and phuctor at ~~80.
mircea_popescu: but yes, pretty nifty as you can use it to send
a [sorta] encrypted message entirely via web
fromphuctor___: will the submit page tell me my key is malformed if i made
a mistake?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but he has
a point ; once we get conversion going running
a ssh-keyscan werker is good idea.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you have
a conversion script anywhere plox feel free to publish.
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor__ yes but phuctor currently eats rfc 4880 format, owing to its history as
a pgp key checker.
mircea_popescu: iiuc jurov already has
a more or less complete package of github keys, working to turn them into proper format.
mircea_popescu: yeah ;
a lot of eulora players also. seems to be the most accessible for "people in general"
steffen: which incidentally is also
a software package vetted by the BSI (german ministry for informational security or something like that)
steffen:
a lot of germans that I know use gpg4win
steffen: being
a german myself, yes, and that's where I thought pgp added
a nice sense of privacy to interested parties no matter the government
anotheryou: So my uninformed conclusion would be that something went especially wrong in germany or the pirates cryptoparties got
a lot of people using pgp in the first place.
mircea_popescu: (the keys are not processed one at
a time. this used to be the case, but not anymore. now, all done simultaneously)
anotheryou: trying to make sense and reading
a bit before asciing stupid questions :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, yet another thing bitcoin corrupts irretrievably. "wtf this secret job has no public log ?
a fie upon you!"
phf: i've interviewed for reverser jobs in 2004 or so when i was still doing "infosec", and my interviews all ended same way because i'm not
a citizen
phf: need
a top-secret job where can discuss things in
a public log, tmsr style
phf: so i did
a simple exercise, since there were some claims that "none of the keys import", of grabbing phuctored data. the 223 moduli represent 156 keys, importing which results in 133 "no valid user IDs" and 23 successful imports listed here
http://paste.lisp.org/display/315214 Apocalyptic: the important thing is k/2 prime enables to distinguish between the 2,
a k/4 prime doesn't, as it would occur in both cases
Apocalyptic: yeah but why the 4 specifically ? for all you know you can have
a k/3 prime as well
mircea_popescu: ie even with p, q obtained straight from /urandom, you can still see
a 1024 bit prime or somesuch
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic p and q randomly generated can still produce
a prime factor somewhere in there, perhaps as large as 1/4 of the length of the key.
mircea_popescu: as with all failing empires in history
a) the better commentary happens among people who do not have the empire's language as native language ; b) the hassle of obtaining official seal of whatever exceeds the benefits.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: why k/4 ? my argument was if the whole modulus is random, then we can expect
a k/2-bit prime factor, if modulus is random p times random q, then we can't unless p or q is actually prime (assuming p and q same size), which is quite unlikely if truly random
Apocalyptic: There might be, the resulting thing is
a degree of magnitude less usable though
gribble: Error: "up" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: "pgp was broken ayear ago i recall defcon talk"... it's kinda shocking in the despairing sense of the term, exactly what sort of monster
a specialised society creates.
mircea_popescu: btw, ever had
a chance to turn off whatever dev environment ? ppls were pointing out.
