zx2c4: mircea_popescu: well seems pretty clear
that
the future doing what im doing now is unlikely
to yield aforementioned flowering sums of 2000btc (unless of course bitcoin
tanks), unless a philanthropist comes along

a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 15:16 mircea_popescu: soo
trinque, can i hire you
to install your blessed gentoo in
there ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, well, so
then
take it easy and
trust in
the future ? obviously not everyone can possibly be running clippers
to india, else who'd be making
the colonnades back in
the forum.
trinque: nodehelp: I don't care
to discuss it with you.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-14#1799029 << anyway, i wouldn't simplify it quite
to
that point. obviously
there's a pull and
there's a push way
to make money, and if i propose
to some guy, "do x, get y" it's my push not his pull, and obviously if he wants
to pull instead of waiting
to b pushed aroundhe gotta do pull-y sorta
things. but anyways.
nodehelp: just
to know for science purposes
Darwin_Fish: That's
too bad. May God have mercy on you before it is
too late
CindyB: Im here
to show my
tits
Darwin_Fish: It is not just
to
treat people like animals and cage
them up
trinque: nodehelp: why
the hell would I let you use all of my pipe
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, so
then, 20mins or something. doesn't seem slow, just, large file.
nodehelp: mircea_popescu: i know, but is going at like 1 mbit
the download
Darwin_Fish: Because of
the utter frustration.
The system is unjust and oppressive
Darwin_Fish: Kids pounding
their head against a cement floor as hard as
they can
Darwin_Fish: It was. I saw alot of
things
that were kind of mind-blowing
mircea_popescu: nodehelp,
that is a deed of a linux kernel. like 105mb.
Darwin_Fish: I've seen
that plenty as a Probation Officer years ago
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, ok, but
the point is ~they come seeking~. numbers for
their
tits!

this place, chicks regularily come asking
to write strings on
their
tits, and it's not even in california!

trying
to follow
the script

mircea_popescu: nodehelp, not usually slow, no. may be your connection ? which initial files are
these ?
nodehelp: hi, it's just me or deedbot host is painfully slow
to download
the initial files?
Darwin_Fish: Although, I prefer CA for
the abundance of big events
to attend
Darwin_Fish: no building permits, freedom
to homeschool
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 14:06 danielpbarron: got a message from my former employer
that
they "Have a service" and were notified of my blog post. hows
that for seo? i'm not even
trying
to game
the search
Darwin_Fish: To be frank, it was a little hard
to follow. But,
that could be a comment on my own intellect
Darwin_Fish: 10 In whose hand is
the life of every living
thing, And
the breath of all mankind? (Job 12:7-10 NKJ)
Darwin_Fish: 9 Who among all

mircea_popescu: and so no, i'm not in
this position of haplessly, helplessly poking at
the great-mystery
mircea_popescu: whereas
terrorist org couldn't give less of a shit about a weaker other org.
mircea_popescu: man acting alone is stuck with
these "oh, a conclave of idiots bent on self preservation and avoiding
the lowly station
their idiocy warrants
them holds all
the power, and i'll act as man alone confronted by governemnt".
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is where all
that "how
the wot works"
thing is referenced again.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously
there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and
the authority can not be predicated on

zx2c4: your guess about secret government conspiracies is as good as mine? some people
think
they are vast; others
think
they are small. some
think ecc; others
think rsa; some
think jfk; others
think apollo. ...
mircea_popescu: which, if you
think about it, explains
the homeostasis observed quite well.
mircea_popescu: but
then again, we're worth
trillions, whereas webtards... not so much.
mircea_popescu: we're ok.
the various fashionable webtards, i guess not so much.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4,
they have no pill for rsa ; which is why
the ecc behaviour.
zx2c4: healthy assumption
to live by. so again, my response
to
that kind of
thing is, "meh"
zx2c4: if secret government scientists are lightyears ahead of "entirely worthless" academics, and
they have secret attacks on everything academia is currently okay with,
then i guess it's game over, and we have
to wait until we're at a ripe old age
to read
the history books on
the secret mathematics of our present age. i dont really share
this point of view
though. and even aside from
the factual validity of it, it doesn't seem like a psychologically
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, i wonder, are you willing
to read a story i wrote
tell me what you
think ?
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish,
there's no deductive component in establishing what is evil ?
Darwin_Fish: Otherwise,
there is no morality whatsoever
mircea_popescu: which is possibly
the one point where we mostly diverge in our priors, you look upon published extant cryptology as some kind of a scientific discipline, whereas
to me it's ~gender studies for numbers.
Darwin_Fish: God says it's evil.
That's all it ever comes down
to
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, my concern is
that
the literature is entirely worthless.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so
then what's
the problem with whoredom.
that
they came up with
their own arrangement, rather
than using a wedding ?
zx2c4: one man's hunch vs another man's? but
there has been a lot a lot a lot of open academic analysis on ecc for many years now and
this alleged smoking gun still has not been found. so, meh.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: so from your mention of "criminal org" it seems
to me
that your concern is not so much
the mathematical issues
that are discussed in
the literature, but rather a particular history
that
to you indicates
there must be secret attacks
that only
the select few geniuses at
the nsa know about, and everybody pushing ecc is either in on
the conspiracy or just dumber
than
the nsa geniuses. i guess you're entitled
to
this opinion -- what's
mircea_popescu: so it is not evil for man
to work so
that a woman can eat ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand,
the expectation here isn't "longer,
therefore better".
the situation is as described above, my key budget is 4096 bits, both ecc and rsa are ok by
this measure.
Darwin_Fish: No, a man can certainly be motivated by
that
mircea_popescu: the hungry mouth of
the wife and
the wails of starving children notwithstanding ?
mircea_popescu: wtf, i have
to explain why short keys are shorter
than longer keys ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, look,
think of a number between 0 and 2, 0 and 2 exclusive. have you ? here i go, ima guess it! you
thought of 1!
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so you don't believe
there's a sexual motivation in work ?
zx2c4: i
think cloudflare has an ELI5 article from a few years back about "what all
the key sizes doth mean"
Darwin_Fish: The rich and
the poor have
this in common,
The LORD is
the maker of
them all. (Pro 22:2 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: how
T?HE FUCK can you even look at anything nsa says other
than "this is what
the liars are pushing
these days" ? hm ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i am very skeptical because rsa
they hated and ecc
they pushed and
then suddenly everyone forgot
the 90s and is all onboard.
mircea_popescu: what is
this "absurdly" large ? why is 4096 even large at all ?
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: i
take it now
that mostly you're skeptical because
the nsa was pushing ecc in
the early years, before everyone else woke up
to it
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the algos for ecc will ~never come out, until
the day i water my horse out of
the repurposed washington monument, of course.
Darwin_Fish: He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But
the hand of
the diligent makes rich. (Pro 10:4 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky, i get
that i may seem retarded at
times and in some lights, but it's not a safe assumption.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: ahh
that ignorant and antiquated notion,
that "key size implies security size". or do you
think
there will be some amazing GNFS-like algorithms
that come out for ECC, requiring ECC
to use absurdly huge keys in
the same way as RSA?
Darwin_Fish: 19 In
the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return
to
the ground, For out of it you were
taken; For dust you are, And
to dust you shall return."
Darwin_Fish: 18 Both
thorns and
thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat
the herb of
the field.
Darwin_Fish: Cursed is
the ground for your sake; In
toil you shall eat of it All
the days of your life.
