thank you for
the detailed write-up on
the vpatch issue; I'm not sure it makes sense or even helps
to name as "chapters" fixes so people don't miss
them in
the future since
this happened with
the mpi_fix before just
the same
diana_coman: that's why it failed on anything
that wasn't either 8*n or 8*n + 1
diana_coman: phf, any bitrate above 1600 will correctly fail
there since bitrate cannot be more
than
the
total length of state (and
that's 1600 unless you change
the knobs);
this being said,
there IS an error
too and it's one of
those
that show I need
to sleep more: I got
ToPos and FromPos flipped around and failed
to notice it ...; so big
thank you for
testing
this! correction, patch & post coming later
today
diana_coman: mod6,
thank you for
the detailed write-up on
the vpatch issue; I'm not sure it makes sense or even helps
to name as "chapters" fixes so people don't miss
them in
the future since
this happened with
the mpi_fix before just
the same
☟︎ diana_coman: I'll have a look at
the bitstream /rate issue
too,
thank you; I'll get back later
today on it
diana_coman: phf,
the oaep_fix_checks seems
to be missing and
that's possibly also creating
trouble otherwise since you're running
the code without
the fix
phf: i get identical result if i play with bitstream sizes (including changing bin
to 1-base)
mod6: My vtron also fails on
this as well. I have a whole write up here. Stand by:
BingoBoingo: Aha, photo from a few weeks ago,
taken for
that reason.
BingoBoingo: Ah yeah,
the girlie reactions
to
the cold depend on sirve o no
mircea_popescu: then again
there's
that scene with
teeny bopper chicks at
the north sea, on
the "beach", wind so cutting i was glad for my greatcoat. im sure it's in
the logs somewhere but beyond 5 minute's search.
BingoBoingo: Brasileros break out
the heavy coats when night
temperatures fall below 20C,
the Uruguayos
tend
to use lighter jackets and give it a few more degrees 16-18C is when
their low
temperature reactions get
triggered.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is a fine degree less innocence
than say...
the Brasileros
mircea_popescu: then again locals' notions of what constitutes coldness show a clear innocence of
the arctic.
BingoBoingo: Otherwise I am
told it gradually gets colder, windier, and wetter. Like a Latino London barely lucky enough
to avoid snow.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Prime as in
the country expects guests coming for
the beaches, and
there being
the
tourism infastructure
turned on in case you want
to do some sightseeing.
mircea_popescu: it's about
the same, 1200ish +- 100 via panama if bought 2-3 weeks in advance
BingoBoingo: The prime window
to
take
trips is before
the end of
this month when summer ends and
the
tourism allegedly disappears.
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform, how are we getting
the nsa boxen over
to uruguay ? you feel like
taking a
trip ?
mod6: Thanks for outlining all of
this.
mircea_popescu: (in
this discussion,
the $ stands for
the dollar, which however denotes
the
taler, a weight of gold (or perhaps sivler ? highly contentious matter at
the
time,
this), not fictitious lincolnite bs.)
mircea_popescu: literally, you're buying from
the bank
the putting of
the bank in
the position of having eaten in your restaurant.
mircea_popescu: JUST SO,
the bank ~sold~ people bills
to itself. if you pay
the bank $5, you get in exchange... a bill for $5,
that you can give
to
the bank, as if
the bank had sat in your restaurant and ate $5 worth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: much like
the reason dollar bills are called BILLS is because banks came up with
the bright idea of selling... bills
to
themselves. you know how if you go
to
the restaurant and eat
there,
they bring you a bill, which you oblige yourself
to pay ?
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing history lesson :
the reason
the option is called "CALL" is because of its functional equivalence
to
the... calling of capital for subscribed shares. basically what you're selling
there is
the... right for someone
to... CALL
the cash equity as if
the share had just been subscribed. you "resubscribe" it so
to speak, it's a fictitious revirgination of
the holy mother.
mircea_popescu: it's also a confusion of layers
to name employees in
the charter. what happens if you decide
to hire ben_vulpes' son
to manage it eventually, recharter ?
mircea_popescu: this aside -- you certainly can also have
the foundation simply hold a convertible debt ; but bear in mind
that it can't possibly hold a seat on
the board until such a
time as it converts
that bond and gets shares.
mircea_popescu: so something like "pizarro incorporated, issued 1`100`000 shares with a par value of 100 satoshi each, subscribed by mod6 (500`000) ; asciilifeform (500`000) and
TBF (100`000)" would be more in
the regular form of
these
things.
mircea_popescu: and from
thence
to
this day, shares are subscribed,
then
their capital is called up and paid.
mircea_popescu: then as
the preliminaries were done and
the
thing was starting
to move capital was "called up", ie, joe you underwrote 10`000 shares, now's
the
time
to pay up so and so moneys.
mircea_popescu: pices in
the ferrara market").
this
then was called
the "authorized capital". 3.
the item was
then circulated (among
the savy,
the l2 of
the
time) and all
those interested in participation wrote
their name at
the bottom of
the paper (subscribed, or underwrote.
the
term is still used in insurance, very much in
this sense).
mircea_popescu: mod6
the usual
terminology re shares is "subscribed".
the reason has
to do with history.
the way business has worked (mostly in italy, which is where it was invented, five centuries ago) was
that 1. some people got
together united by
their recognition of a solution
to some problem ; 2.
that
then evaluated
the costs of implementing such solution (often
the case --
the cost was
to outfit a ship and
the problem was "there's no s
ben_vulpes: it works everywhere but
trilema, sadly
mod6: ah, yeah, it's slightly more grey
than
the others. stars here: jurov: ben_vulpes: and
the foundation loan == Stock Warrant #1 in pizarro's report?
mircea_popescu: but since we're on
this, i suspect
the lack of readout bot is
the principal bar
to bvulpes log adoption ; not
that i expect you gas at
this juncture
mod6: hmm. i dont
think so?
mod6: Awesome,
thank you!
mod6: mircea_popescu: Can I get your opinion on
this quick regarding
the Charter for Pizarro?
mircea_popescu: and in breakfast suggestions : slice homemade bread, spread aguacate on it, flake smoked
trout atop
the aguacate, cut sweet red onion on
top of
the
trout, serve with a mug of leche agria on your balcony of splendid views.
mircea_popescu: i might propose
to you
that perhaps
the more pressing problem isn't how you store your coin but how you populate your
thinking
table ; but i suspect you are already well aware.
Guest45857: thanks for
the article. I'll do my due diligence swapping storage solution asap
mircea_popescu: shouldn't you have been already aware of
this ? if
the "trezor" wasn't patent medicine,
that is ?
mircea_popescu: there is not at present anything significantly better ; and it is crap. not a matter of it "being considered", it is sheer crap, provedly so, on its own factual record of usage
that it won't face or consider, let alone
theoretical consideration by people who (unlike
the rank imbeciles involved in its production) actually understand
the world.
Guest45857: so i assume is considered crap. Asking
this cause i've one and i was
thinking
to be on
the safe side. Should i discard every hardware wallet or is
there something significantly better
than
trezor?
mircea_popescu: yes well, let's not confuse
the inept products of idiots with
the broader categories.
trezor is a specific piece of shit, not something as lofty as "a hardware wallet".
Guest45857: tried
to navigate
through logs but nothing relevant found about it
Guest45857: hello, i would like
to ask about
trezor security. in your opinion is safer a properly air gapped computer or specific hardware wallet like
trezor?
mircea_popescu: the whole idea of 0-footprint is
to have something you can unroll into iron.
mircea_popescu: idea is for it
to be a push-button stick, so you can !!v from internet cafe without worry.
mircea_popescu: so basically ima have
to make a new nsa
to make
the item in question ?
mircea_popescu: (re
the above fg, it ain't for sale ; we'll eventually make a new batch, but it isn't a high priority yet.)
mircea_popescu: slightly but essentially different
through hard earned intangibles aka experience.
mircea_popescu: should self-populate with a key by contact with a fg, and should be able
to readily destroy
the key.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously
the question becomes : should ave1 complete
the 0-footprint eucrypt wrapper, can
the next nsa product be a push-button decryptor -- specificaly a usb-like stick with a button, which produces a decrypted.filename for every filename found on stick at button push ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: appreciate
the continued scrutiny, will respond
tomorrow
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the saga continues (and also, you have what looks like a stranded > right after
the "leave your comment" heading)
trinque: nobody could have predicted scrolling and searching in weechat at
the same
time.
BingoBoingo: shinohai:
There is plenty of source material
to cite. Care
to write up for Qntra a summary of February's events in
the Republic?
jhvh1: ben_vulpes:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: !~later
tell PeterL i've responded
to your comment
a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 20:01 phf: diana_coman: i was also getting some boundary issues with different bitrate issues, i couldn't figure out if it can
take any natural value, or
there's some specifica subranges
that i have
to stick
to. when i spot checked with values like 1200 (or whatever), it would fail deep inside absorbblock. i'll
test it again not
that i have a bit of free
time and see if i can reproduce
mircea_popescu: note
though
that base-whatever is in fact more compact
than hexencode.
mircea_popescu: pipe
though! i want cat x.txt > rrsa -aer stan > y.txt or some sane equivalent.
