mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are with ipad/android on one hand, and steam and derivatives on the other ; but amd's ploy is plainly to make
a hardware-sum-of-these.
assbot: Logged on 06-02-2016 13:51:36; pete_d_out: " In the latest move, AMD unveiled its FirePro S-Series GPUs that include the company's hardware-virtualization GPU architecture, Multiuser GPU (MxGPU). The technology is aimed at such segments as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), remote workstations, cloud gaming and cloud computing." << is cloud gaming
a thing now ? i thought it was all ipad gaming.

a surplus of qualified candidates.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and go and try turning it into vertical orientation, looks like shit soup << AMD thinkpadish was acquired for acceptable vertical quality. Imagined myself holding it like
a book for ebook reading.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-08-2015#1223506 << i've said it before, will say again: if you can fake your way out of 'overqualified, go away' when applying to be
a cook or street sweeper, you can and will work profitably in hollywood or cia
assbot: Logged on 06-02-2016 07:55:33; punkman: he cites
a lot of verses, but also has some kind of bible-markov-chain that says new things
pete_d_out: fuck, i'd totally run
a 10 ghz pentium. not like i pay for leccy.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well consider what AMD did with their first generation "Bobcat" fusion chips. Fallout 3 was
a bit old when those came out, but when the Bobcats were introduce there was no other way to play fallout 3 in the same power consumption envelope.
BingoBoingo: I dunno that customers actually want it. More
a buzzword collision that attracts dumb money.
pete_d_out: as if the nonexistent demand for counterstrike on an ipad is such
a market driver
pete_d_out: " In the latest move, AMD unveiled its FirePro S-Series GPUs that include the company's hardware-virtualization GPU architecture, Multiuser GPU (MxGPU). The technology is aimed at such segments as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), remote workstations, cloud gaming and cloud computing." << is cloud gaming
a thing now ? i thought it was all ipad gaming.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: If AMD can survive its debt for 5-7 years, they'll be in
a pretty sweet place for competing with Intel.
pete_d_out: “Workers are still
a little discounted” in most fields, said Linda Barrington, executive director of the Institute for Compensation Studies at Cornell University’s ILR School. “Employers won’t pay what the last person in the job was paid because labor is now on sale.”" << ahh, i can taste the sweet butthurt tears of bahamas and his dream of
a fully employed economy. "no one could've predicted" eh ?
pete_d_out: "Moreover, employers may feel they can lowball applicants because they believe there is still
a surplus of qualified candidates.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ pete_d_out: might cause
a bit of lag in communication, making 'practical blockchain telegraphy' look zippy, but hey, if it's important enough..
BingoBoingo: Well, the bet is if he lives up to the hype. Doing that for
a career? Ridiculous. For 29-30 games perfectly possible if improbable as reflected by the BitBet odds
BingoBoingo: It's not so ridiculous. He's just gotta average
a bit over two point per game for the rest of the season.
pete_d_out: so catching up : mp opened
a nifty contest, intel affirmed the sensibility of the current blocksize, mccollarbone is on "pace" to win the bitbet, and my qntra about technology and politics, if admittedly not about bitcoin, was
a bit long-winded. did i miss anything else ?
punkman: he cites
a lot of verses, but also has some kind of bible-markov-chain that says new things
☟︎ mircea_popescu: his point re heat is actually quite sound. why the fuck do i have
a cpu instead of
a motherboard sized asic thing ?
mircea_popescu: "We will make
a spec for
a perfectly standardized, $2500, cryogenically-cooled
mircea_popescu: bonus points to where j d rooke got so hot and bothered under the collar he originally made
a ruling so broken (through disallowing appeal improperly) he had to come in with
a "corrigendum", which apparently is how it works in canada.
mircea_popescu: bonus points for the item two paragraphs supra, where the judge nigh-on admits that he tried to track down the guy and have
a little behind the scenes compact with him. sadly he wasn't also
a laywer. this of course is deeply different from "criminal scheme to bla bla".
mircea_popescu: "[116] I have previously concluded, on
a balance of probabilities, that these documents were intended to illegally assert
a debt against the Officer and Alberta, and that the attempt to file the documents Powell notarized is an indictable criminal offense. Powell is obviously in breach of the Code of Conduct."
mircea_popescu: ct, s 23.1(3), should the Minister of Justice and Attorney General wish to do so within that period of time. Absent any submissions this order will become final on November 6, 2015." << the best part is that the dude spent
a while harping about how bullshit foisted agreements are bullshit ; then went on to do EXACTLY the same ; and all the while fails to understand wtf exactly impels the guy to behave thusly.
mircea_popescu: "[112] I make the above order on an interim basis effective immediately. In keeping with the procedure adopted in R v Fearn, at para 54, Chutskoff v Bonora, at para 138, and Lymer (Re), 2014 ABQB 696 (CanLII) at para 58, final operation of this Order is stayed for 30 days until November 6, 2015 to allow the Minister of Justice and Solicitor General to make submissions to change or vary this order, per Judicature
A mircea_popescu: " The fact that this Court would never have entered Boisjoli’s materials as
a default judgment that could then be enforced by ‘conventional’ means is immaterial. Criminal Code, s 24(1) is explicit that the fact an attempt to commit an offence could not succeed is irrelevant to whether or not that offence was attempted:
mircea_popescu: "For the purposes of this vexatious litigation decision what is important is whether or not delivering the September 25, 2015 documents to the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench satisfies the actus reus and mens rea requirements of Criminal Code, s 423.1. On
a balance of probabilities, I conclude that it does."
BingoBoingo: 17 months of Qntra, with 5 of them at the helm... I though I hit
a significant milestone. Then it turns out that either I was honestly confused for Mircea Popescu or just maybe... Luke-Jr just tried to steal that milestone because he has so much contempt for me he was compelled to steal my satisfaction.
BingoBoingo: Does anyone know if there's
a prize for that
BingoBoingo: In other news that time you personally get called
a lunatic by Luke-Jr and not just
a lunatic, but the only lunatic whose opinon doesn't matter.
https://archive.is/ChHAo BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: the slashdot thing is raw sewage. srsly i 'want my five minutes back' plox. << Ask gasenwagen driver for
a cigarette when the time comes
mircea_popescu: it is provedly consistent (what'd be
a "mathematical corectness" and empirically applicable with great predictive power. that's... not it.)
mircea_popescu: math is nice and good, but
a method or mechanism through which to prove the corectness of implementation in the sense contemplated here is not yet seen and altogether may be an impossibility.
mircea_popescu: and besides, i'm not asking them to solve it, i'm just saying, should you have
a solution...
mircea_popescu: "Anyhow, it would be
a bunch of work for 10 BTC. Hardly worth anyone's time, given this bozo is gonna take all the credit, you probably don't even get fame nor fortune..." << jesus almighty. this is why it's fucking public, and lordship and all that, right ?
mircea_popescu: "Behold, Mr Mackey, riding
a horse so naturally it makes your dick hard. And there be bitches, oh yes." << i wonder what knowitall derp'd do if he actually knew what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the internet is but
a series of tubes. see c) above.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that part is easy :
a) you cook
a bunch of slop ; b) you catch the sow and chain her down ; c) you insert one tube in ass and another tube in mouth (should be same size, orientation indifferent) and then you d) pour.
BingoBoingo: Modded +4 Interesting with "The block cipher is
a proof of work function which takes some effort to compute."
mircea_popescu: pure conjecture, but towards
a unified theory of cryptography!
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag honestly, i suspect
a) all actual cryptography revolves around º and º' pairs and b) rsa is the only one where º = º' = multiplication.
ascii_butugychag: (actually posing the question often produces many little 'bill gates'-en, who famously uttered
a hope that one day 'science may discover
a means of factoring large primes')
mircea_popescu: o hey, check it out, all the rotinculo that live off foodstamps know what
a reward sum SHOULD have been.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 01:22:33; asciilifeform: 'The real power, the power we have to fight for night and day, is not power over things, but over men.' He paused, and for
a moment assumed again his air of
a schoolmaster questioning
a promising pupil: 'How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?' Winston thought. 'By making him suffer,' he said. 'Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is sufferin
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu, i suppose, is
a natural-born exterminator. whereas i see crushing, poisoning vermin as hard thankless work
ascii_butugychag has been trying to detect 'signs of intelligent life' in the cryptological world,
a very depressing exercise
mircea_popescu: While it’s unknown how Wang chose the prime, other commenters on the post said that checks in OpenSSL and other tools used to generate primes cannot be sure if the numbers are prime. Rieger told Threatpost: “I do not know if
a quick way exists to check this definitely. No attempts were made at all.” << and we never heard of phuctor etc.
mircea_popescu: "Socat said it has generated
a new prime that is 2048 bits long" << clearly evil.
mircea_popescu: ever since the previous spammer sold my site to the current one people ever give less and less of
a shit! oh if only i could be friends with
a rich guy like slashdot!
ascii_butugychag: is there somewhere, i wonder,
a perl script, that pastes this pediwikian claptrap in
ascii_butugychag: 'Also, he awards bonus points for proofs of hardness. No one has managed to prove hardness for any existing block cipher. Block ciphers are simply ways to jumble the plaintext up in
a reversible fashion. They are not based on difficult mathematical problems.
mircea_popescu: (courtesy BingoBoingo who by now is
a total expert at bothering mayogenders)
ascii_butugychag: i'm
a bit surprised that nobody whined re: the most obvious boojum of mircea_popescu's contest - how will it be judged.
danielpbarron: from the long-winded "i want to sorta look like i agree with this guy" post >> There definitely is
a potential for safer currencies than bitcoin
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Note all the derps supposing the block cipher is somehow supposed to be used as
a proof of work
danielpbarron: comments are
a riot; these guys just can't stand that someone out there knows what he wants and isn't afraid to put it out there
ascii_butugychag: '
A post to
a technical forum discovered that the non-prime parameter was introduced more than
a year ago.
A note in the commit indicates that Socat was not working in FIPS mode because it requires
a 1024 Diffie-Hellman prime, and added that
a developer named Zhiang Wang provided
a patch with the new prime. The poster revealed that Wang works at Oracle and contributes to Socat.'
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: '“I cannot for sure rule out the possibility of
a backdoor,” said Gerhard Rieger,
a Socat maintainer. “But personally I do not believe that the contributor has
a backdoor because he uses an email address at
a well known and reputated company, and if someone wants to install such
a backdoor he would not use
a parameter that can easily be proven as non prime.”'
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Thus, by simply keeping
a local list of cipher texts that you prevent from being decrypted straightforward (i.e. those you generated), you can---at least in theory---add some security." << this part.
mircea_popescu: Thus, by simply keeping
a local list of cipher texts that you prevent from being decrypted straightforward (i.e. those you generated), you can---at least in theory---add some security." <<< wtf is this!
mircea_popescu: "One amazing feature of this system is that it comes with
a proof of security against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks. I.e if your hardware device (say your workstation) can be used by an adversary for
a limited time (e.g. while you are at lunch) to decrypt chosen ciphertexts without actually 'stealing' the secret key, it does not help him too much to decrypt any ciphertexts except the ones he decrypted explicitly.
mircea_popescu: and also fwiw :
a) the discrete log problem is of course related to the euler inequality, and generally shoup is properly speaking
a narrow case of my proposed ep?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag re the comment etc : i am definitely awarding for
a degenerate shoup, if that's what we agree on using.
mircea_popescu: Encryption is 'probabilistic' - i.e. if the same text is encrypted twice, the ciphertext usually will be different. They also will be longer (in the size of bits) by
a factor of four, in order to guarantee decryption to the original message."
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2016 18:34:10; ascii_butugychag: pretty much everything i give half
a shit about was in better shape in 1900 than today.
BingoBoingo: Not
a single link to anyone other than Thermos on the subject
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's
a comment on derpiticle.
A comment that was carried onto the RSS version of the derpiticle.
mircea_popescu: so if you make MORE space for people to take
a shit in, there's going to somehow be fewer sd chips burned ?
BingoBoingo: Because mempool size is necessarily
a problem for rPI and bigger blocks would be
a solution in their bizzaro land. Need more Orphanage nike
BingoBoingo: In other news /Classic:0.11.2/ has 259, which for
a hardfork coup is disappoint
ascii_butugychag: pretty much everything i give half
a shit about was in better shape in 1900 than today.
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: to say 'in the past' is as sane now as it would be after
a nuclear war.
ascii_butugychag: security;
a given definition is not necessarily appropriate for all possible environments in which
a ascii_butugychag: invalidate the proof. (
A proof of security is always given with respect to
a particular definition of
ascii_butugychag:
a scheme that has been proven secure still succumb to
a real-world attack? Yes, but this does not
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the folks in question are the 'unique brand of stupid' because this is ~MANDATORY~ if you want to make
a living doing what they do.
