mircea_popescu: i dunno...
mircea_popescu: http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/cl-untold-story.html << man this kent dude is the most tiresome stickler... i've never seen such a retarded if endless introduction.
ascii_butugychag: virtually always, they are older than i am
ascii_butugychag: every other year i do end up dragging my arse to uni library solely to excavate forth a paper
shinohai: ^ how I imagine mircea_popescu would mine for BTC
mircea_popescu: i missed that part :p
ascii_butugychag: but i can't argue that the serial processing is asinine
mircea_popescu: i was discussing the problem in its general form!
ascii_butugychag: i thought we've been through this 1,001 times.
phf: i recall that was first major trb patch
PeterL: but I guess that would open up a ddos attack vector?
shinohai: I keep backup copy of blockchain on pogo now, I have it syncing from real node every 12 hours.
ascii_butugychag: i killed this with my own hands
ascii_butugychag: but i/o derpery
ascii_butugychag: and i measured what takes up most of a sync time - it isn't verification
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: actually it would be quite trivial to parallelize, i just haven't the hands presently
ascii_butugychag: but i must point out that a trb node that isn't synced should not be added to connection lists
ascii_butugychag: anyway i can only suggest, if mod6 wants to call his 'bzortl' this is his to make
ascii_butugychag: i suppose i should restate
ascii_butugychag: i will half-seriously suggest that we refer to the ~set of patches, seals, keys~ that a particular vtron is aware of at his particular point in spacetime, as... his lightcone ☟︎
mod6: im just gonna leave what i've got in there. will replicate what alf's does.
ascii_butugychag: but i would readily pay 10k for a box with ONLY open fpga
ascii_butugychag: i don't object to the price, this is quite cheap for a proper computer
ascii_butugychag: this being said, if the thing consisted 100% of ~documented~ fpga fabric, i would buy it
mod6: ok, i'll leave origin in for this second beta patch.
ascii_butugychag: i can see how this might come in handy
ascii_butugychag: at least i finally hunted down a 'thinkpad x60'
ascii_butugychag: BingoBoingo: i specifically mean his 'follow my example, use this here iron!!111' 'but no there is no place for you to get it, hahahaha'
ascii_butugychag: (did i even have the filename in there? no matter, this is what we want)
ascii_butugychag: mod6 et al: is it now clear why i had this knob ?
ascii_butugychag: mod6: looks just like what i had, aha
mod6: I've basically just added the corresponding source file in the data there.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i can get rocks over here too"
ascii_butugychag: personally i find the daily life, birth and death of that meteorite linked earlier, more interesting
ascii_butugychag: i really do not grasp why BingoBoingo enthusiastically follows the doings of walking hindbrains, but that's his business
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: I far more interesting news some dude in India was smote by a meteor
nubbins`: recently watched "i dream of wires" and was sorely disappointed by it
nubbins`: ascii_butugychag i was surprised to learn (a) that this exists only in alberta and (b) that it was once so common that they came up with a catchy name for it
mircea_popescu: i would call any OTHER law peculiar.
mircea_popescu: "do i have any proof for my <<<claim>>> they're idiots ???"
mircea_popescu: in argentina ? i'd end up buried under a 10mn pile of flaming idiots who think they're smart and http://trilema.com/2016/btmsr-block-cipher-competition/#comment-116472
nubbins`: i like it
assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 16:14:35; mircea_popescu: nubbins` my problem is that i really can't stand idiots.
BingoBoingo: I think, actually checking would take time away from newsmining
BingoBoingo: pretty sure December I set a personal record for words. Then January set a personal record for headlines.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Then I'd fac the Shrem's bong dilemma.
mircea_popescu: otherwise - i would.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` my problem is that i really can't stand idiots. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: harem is a fucking unbalanced construction. i should have a small army around it so they could eat my pies and i could look on and be happy in my old age.
mircea_popescu: i'm looking at you BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: im stuck with a bunch of women that all cook well and like to do it. and so i've recently discovered that eating less actually makes me feel better!
nubbins`: all things in moderation! i'm down 5kg since the holidays!
ascii_butugychag: and i think mircea_popescu had an article specially about this
assbot: Using their weight against them (old shitlording I forgot) | fatpeoplehate ... ( http://bit.ly/1SbnKhz )
ascii_butugychag: and his answer may well be 'i'll die of starvation instead of eating fallout, fuckyou'
mircea_popescu: his present reasoning is "eating hurts, so i'll stop eating".
nubbins`: what a lel. i wonder what /else/ they nabbed him with.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu my heart empathetically raced as i imagined the empty pit of despair engulfing him at the moment of re-arrest
mircea_popescu: (meanwhile i asked for the why and wherefore of the "debiasing" of the plaintext. "no you idiot, it's so you burn less otp. what the fuck's wrong with you!")
ascii_butugychag: i was surprised how nobody reacted to that mega-l0ltr0n
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 23:53:20; asciilifeform: or that other thread, which i can't seem to find, where we spoke of how 'maths wot is not essential for being published, but for even having publishable ideas instead of burning your life on fibonacci sequences or some other solved/irrelevant dead end'
ascii_butugychag: i always found interesting the kind of lice and worms these folks usually walk in with
ascii_butugychag: i suppose this then is one of those 'salvation of the drowning..' situations.
mircea_popescu: oops, i mean mature.
shinohai: I guess it isn't much in the face of Bitcoin Classic's 100's of nodes "coming soon" but trying to do my part.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i do not.
ascii_butugychag: ;;later tell mircea_popescu do you know of any working implementations of cramer-shoup other than the emacslisp one i linked last week ?
shinohai: I started another node on Friday on my friends server, it is still catching up. But I think it showed me I need to upgrade some equipments.
shinohai: Yup BingoBoingo I keep getting connection boots, had trouble all weekend keeping it online.
shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 Node caught back up I think my issue is the crap box I am running it on. Going to start shopping for better node hardware I guess.
nubbins`: i need a 3.5mm TRRS to 3x RCA cable
danielpbarron: i don't always archive links, but i had a feeling someone would be asking about that noe
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'ma bbl!
mircea_popescu: i guess it must be
asciilifeform: lulzily i was actually in the midst of prototyping a simple bios diddler when that came out
mircea_popescu: i'd actually very much want to see this wunderwaffen where they put bluetooth in the optoitem.
assbot: One of the reasons I decided not to use optocouplers is a story I got from a fr - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1Sak7Z7 )
BingoBoingo: I thought R5RS was the good scheme?
punkman: "-hey guys remember <blink>? -Yeah... -I just reimplemented it in our browser, but even cooler. - So where do I turn this off now? -Why would you ever want to turn this off?"
BingoBoingo: What. Preet got a picture. I figured I needed to get a picture for Kim when he tested the new bomb.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude i just laughed hysterically at the korean derp on horse pic.
phf: also having read the paper, i stand by my words
phf: ;;later tell maqp on a cursory inspection i couldn't figure out how the protocol decides between otp and cev, how those are identified on the wire, etc. is that up to the user?
phf: ;;later tell maqp if i were you i'd split tfc.pdf into separate papers. HWRNG, data diode communication, tfc otp, tfc cev and "rationale", the last one to include all the superfluous NSA shoutouts
mircea_popescu: i'll just wait for reality to disprove their claims instead. heck, they're still making the best invisibly-visible aircraft-submarine scooba diving platform, or whatever that was.
maqp: But like I said, all the best. It's 3am I'm off. Night everyone!
mircea_popescu: one day someone calls up foxconn and is like hey guise... can i have fridge in cpu ?
maqp: I think it's more safe if people download manuals from the network, and then buy COTS hardware and build data diodes / HWRNG themselves
mircea_popescu: this is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard.
assbot: One of the reasons I decided not to use optocouplers is a story I got from a fr - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1ojjxvS )
mircea_popescu: you ever thought about selling i dunno, optic diode kits or something ?
maqp: If you're passionate about the project, I hope you dive into it, write a paper on this and prove us wrong.
maqp: It's just that this type of nihilistic reasoning and security t-bones with the standard infosec discourse so badly I can't offer advice.
maqp: Okay. I really hope you end up creating somethign cool. Just be sure to get someone elses opinion too
mircea_popescu: sure. i've been hoping to do some snuff videos of "operatives" caught with gear for years now. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well, there's no "we". but i have no interest in adding layers of sheet metal to my limo when everyone shot got shot getting in or getting out of the limo.
mircea_popescu: as far as i see that's pseudosecurity. security is and always has been about being secure.
mircea_popescu: maqp i'll use it once it's finally done. but anyway.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> heh anyways i just cracked xotika, picked a random feed and whaddaya know the last frame of the bloomberg video that autoplayed itself is superimposed on this poor girl's face << Known bug on Chromium using OS X and Nvidia
maqp: Yeah, I'm afraid there's really no situation this could be used in
