pete_d_out: mod6 nice work on v99995 ! quite
a few changes in there. my v99996 test has had
a few bumps in the road (mostly hosting issues afaict) but is still syncing. i'll let you know if there are any snags in that, but holleee you guys are pumping out these trb releases !!
pete_d_out: asciilifeform mno. "where are they ? antartica ?" is
a theory. if
a tongue-in-cheek one
mod6: barring any sort of major problems, as long as this one tests well, will bundle it up in
a week or so. have at it!
pete_d_out: unfortunately, 1/3 'recruits' looking for every possible way to bring down their 'employer' is
a lot of angry worker bees stinging anywhere and everywhere
pete_d_out: i'm sure that'll work
a solid 2/3 times.
kakobrekla: tank should be able to take
a beating. so should phones.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 13:52:37; mircea_popescu: anyway, the winds have pointedly turned against apple. the time when they did that "we'll brick your device if you used other parts in it" thing i'd arbitrarily pick as the jumping the shark moment. but in any case : apple is for the next decade
a company to sell, not to hold and CERTAINLY not to buy.
kakobrekla: i dont know but if i cant hammer nails with it its not
a phone for me
nubbins`: even
a wallet -- your cards will all crack in half
pete_d_out: kakobrekla razr isn't
a great hammer, admittedly
nubbins`: speak now if you believe
a lord that has contributed TRB patches, who owns the second-largest s.mg stock warrant, who trades in the only physical collectibles that are priced solely in BTC, who pays the bill for eulora.org, who is the republic's de facto minister of letters awaiting with bated quill the whittling-down of
a codebase fit to publish, should be stripped of his title; speak your treason now, that all may witness it.
☟︎☟︎ shinohai: "Damn, we're 1 brick short of finishing this house" "I have
a Nokia!"
nubbins`: as
a lord of bitcoin, tmsr~, cognizant of the responsibilities that my words thusly carry, i hereby solemnly rebuke any attempt to strip me of my lordship.
☟︎ phf: well, that's not
a reason i use mine. i spend so much time on technology, i require explicit and often prolonged periods of disconnect to stay healthy
pete_d_out: asciilifeform you're
a bit of
a masochist of nothing else.
TomServo: Just looking at avg blocks per hour on
a syncing node
pete_d_out: asciilifeform and chinese grad student mighta had
a few hundred contacts even, but tens of thousands ??
mircea_popescu: and know to be harder than p is
a more valuable proof for our interest than known to be in np.
mircea_popescu: or to get back to exponential space problems : "decide first order logic propositions with real numbers, adition and comparison" is
a very hard problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is, in point of fact,
a TERNARY NUMERIC SYSTEM MATRIX
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform go is convenient tho because so close to
a matrix.
mircea_popescu: and take Stearns-Hartmanis, you know for
a fact that all EXPs are actually NOT in P
mircea_popescu: (note that "beating
a human" is not equivalent to solving this. if it were...)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think of it : take
a matrix, set it to go pieces, calculate the value of the position.
pete_d_out: actually working
a "news" piece that i'd give to qntra but i... don't have my keys. so to contravex it goes.
pete_d_out: shinohai even
a few weeks early, i'll take it. cheers ;)
mircea_popescu: man fucking schneier is intolerable. i can pick out his lines even without looking at attribution. his entire output comes out of
a tiny fucking word grinder.
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-30 Douglas
A. Gwyn: "...I can exhibit the design for
a block cipher that is demonstrably secure according to the rules of the game, although it wouldn't be *practical*." << you should write to him, too.
mircea_popescu: if you have ciphers
A B C with block lengths lA lB lC, then the chaining should be applied in such order that l1 > l2 > l3.
mircea_popescu: also i should like to propose
a lemma : that chaining should always proceed TOWARDS SMALLER BLOCKS
mircea_popescu: and there DOES exist such
a technique as mathematical induction
mircea_popescu: howly shit,
a 7500 town worth 2mn, and the bribes going to mayor ~ part of
a used car ?
mircea_popescu: "1998-10-26 Terry Ritter: "We *never* know that
a cipher is strong. Ever." "Now, we might 'consider'
a cipher strong when all *our* guys have looked at it and found no break. But, quite frankly, the *other* guys have more training, more experience, more resources, more time, and they may even be smarter than our guys." "I claim it is more important to have many different ciphers than to have
a few which are 'considered
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-18 W T Shaw: "In Bruce's work, there are sinful omissions and comissions, but the subject is so large that this would always be
a surity in some form. To judge his character, we will see if he mentions in the future any things he has previously ignored and have been pointed out directly to him." << no. as confirmed throughout and including 18 years later.
mircea_popescu: " everything looks like
a boolean satisfiability problem. This problem, also called SAT, is NP-complete, which means that every instance of any problem in NP can be efficiently reduced to
a SAT instance. And, importantly, there are SAT solvers out there which are very efficient for many problems encountered in practice."
mircea_popescu: and yet we deeply wonder why would anyone fix
a large key and block requirement!
mircea_popescu: but currently,
a box wherein you input code on one end, and it outputs this peculiar graph at arbitrary zoom level is the most valuable computer i can think of.
mircea_popescu: but you know what i want ? i want it to output
a fucking graph!
mircea_popescu: anyway, the more i think about this tyhe more im convinced our problems are really one problem : the absence of
a proved mechanism to create the difficulty graph of
a primitive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, another thought occurs : maybe the way to go is make the key
a matrix and go for something like the maximum volume submatrix problem somewhere in there.
mircea_popescu: i thought you had just went from
a comment i just published. except i hadn't.
mircea_popescu: there's
a difference between "can rarely be" and "never is". they do not speak of the same world.
PeterL: isn't it great when people take one word with
a definite meaning and slap it onto something completely unrelated?
PeterL: sort of like
a bulkier version of amphetamine
mircea_popescu: "Bath Salts: As of July 22, 2011 possession of Bath Salts is
a Class 4 Felony with the same sentencing as above." ahahaha wut.
mircea_popescu: ➃ << i didn't even know slut brands were
a html character.
