asciilifeform: paillier adds, that's all it does.
asciilifeform: (which is to say, are actual branches, visible to the naked eye, based on the outcome of the magic box)
asciilifeform: and the branches take place 'in plaintext'.
asciilifeform: 'this multiplies, based on this-here conjecture, we suspect it to be strong...'
asciilifeform: by plain making shit up.
asciilifeform: nah, it 'solves' the same way all of the imbeciles in darpa's homomorphotron pig trough 'solved.'
asciilifeform: (i was only able to see 'solution' from the shithub code, the paper is everywhere paywalled. and this somehow passes as a 'source' for pediwik et al..)
asciilifeform: now guess how author 'solves.'
asciilifeform: problem is that paillier dun multiply. or turingate at all.
asciilifeform: based on the most obvious scheme, that i toyed with as a student, paillier (see oooooold l0gz)
asciilifeform: in re thread from coupla days ago, i was somewhat surprised to discover that a recent homomorphatron scam, 'cryptoleq', is now promoted in a buncha places, incl. pediwikia, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_instruction_set_computer#Cryptoleq and probably elsewhere ) .
asciilifeform: it isn't an earth-shakingly useful distinction, except in situations where you have a finite length of rope and gotta decide who goes first.
asciilifeform: charlatan leaves behind corpses.
asciilifeform: but with the physical props of the chumpatron.
asciilifeform: 0 to do with 'inner selves'
asciilifeform: eh back to the pickpockets; there is a difference between crackpot and charlatan.
asciilifeform: 'Urbit is a total scamcoin. It's 100% premined TLDR: yeah. But at least it's not the DAO.'
asciilifeform: wat.
asciilifeform: 'TLDR: all of computing is a hoax. You can't compare a hoax to nothing. You can only compare it to all the other hoaxes.'
asciilifeform: i wonder, did they actually import american hardware, or contracted to have own, 'industria argentina' dieboldtrons birthed ?
asciilifeform: i can picture some schmuck in casa rosada going, roughly, 'догоним и перегоним америку !'
asciilifeform: the sop algo, aha.
asciilifeform: ( apparently mr mold was ordered by handlers to counter-attack, http://urbit.org/posts/objections )
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com/crypto/against-urbit/#comment-1241097 << handful of folx - get it.
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com/crypto/against-urbit << poor heathens dance around the elephant
asciilifeform: lel
asciilifeform: afaik we all here went to kindergarten, read of herr nietzsche's slave morality, etc..
asciilifeform: or at least of very dubious cardboard.
asciilifeform: 'tischgespräche im führerhauptquartier' and other sources strongly suggest that ~their~ airplane - was of straw.
asciilifeform: that cargo cultists build 'airplane', does not show that airplane is a scam.
asciilifeform: the actualities - correct, are quite similar, to sane eye.
asciilifeform: they describe the author's hallucinations, which are not difficult to distinguish.
asciilifeform: esr hallucinated 'microshit is evil because monarchic'
asciilifeform: if we're dabbling in telepsychiatry, then the subject is what the patient hallucinated, rather than the actual objects that were in front of him at the time.
asciilifeform: mr mold's - of demooocracy.
asciilifeform: esr's 'cathedral' is an imbecilic indictment of führerprinzip ;
asciilifeform: imho it is useful to distinguish pickpocket from rustler, even if both are hanged with the same type of rope on the same tree on same day etc.
asciilifeform: iirc esr's referred to microshit
asciilifeform: this, he did not try to hide. but his 'cathedral' is american (and, post-1945, 'internashiinnal komyooniti') academia/press.
asciilifeform: mr mold was quite specific about which 'cathedral', 0 to do with esr's.
asciilifeform: this is coincidental
asciilifeform: trinque: it's a moldbugism
asciilifeform: but not wholly a snore, which is rare.
asciilifeform: very mixed bag, this d00d.
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com/science/technological-decay-2 << aerial combat etc.
asciilifeform: many lulz. (e.g., http://blog.jim.com/war/on-successful-revolution )
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com/war/now-four-sovereign-nations << re turks.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ^ (belated) qntra ?
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com/uncategorized/nitrocellulose-illegalized << also of interest.
asciilifeform: etc.
asciilifeform: ers of “the international community” in there.'
asciilifeform: 'As you know “the international community” is denouncing Russia’s use of bunker buster bombs as a war crime. There is a rebel video on you tube examining the hole made by a bunker buster. Looks like the bomb blast went through two meters of concrete to blow up inside a bunker. Somehow I doubt that you will find all that many civilians under two meters of concrete inside a bunker. But I rather suspect you might find a few memb
asciilifeform: http://blog.jim.com << in quite other lulz.
asciilifeform: in other vintage lulz, https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/09/surreptitiously.html#c1746484 << 'little birds' tell me that this actually happened. but no proof. anyone got electron microscope and too much free time ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: and on every sane piece of single-purpose hardware ever made.
asciilifeform: (and then you get interrupts serviced even under msdos with interrupt flag off)
asciilifeform: worse yet if on a laptop, which has smm
asciilifeform: because multiprocess.
asciilifeform: you get soup.
asciilifeform: ever try to use a linux (or winblowz) box for cnc machining via naive 'parallel port to stepper motor' plug ?
asciilifeform: the 'msdos way' to do audio was the sane way - 'what i write to this-here-address comes out the DAC immediately.'
asciilifeform: (audio buffers are also an idiocy, but it is a forced mistake, it comes from trying to do real-time operations on a multiprocess os full of shit)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: 'software mixers' are an evil.
asciilifeform: (better yet, in the daytime)
asciilifeform: i prefer working in a lit room
asciilifeform: .. 'hunt and peck' typing ??
asciilifeform: why the fuck do you even need to see the keys.
asciilifeform: i had several boxes with this lamp, imho it is monumentally useless.
asciilifeform: lel
asciilifeform: y'know, folx like walter schellenberg, who joined ss simply because of the spiffy uniform and 'good career perspective'
asciilifeform: the sort of fella who wants to be, where 'it's at' by his dim lights.
asciilifeform: but possibly at this point also for bread.
asciilifeform: works, as far as i can tell, for the self-importance monkey riding on his back.
asciilifeform: folks ask regularly, because the d00d is 'everywhere'.
asciilifeform: it is in recent l0gz iirc.
asciilifeform: !!rated kanzure
asciilifeform: self-admitted usg hilfswillige.
asciilifeform: bishop == kanzure
asciilifeform: 'Acknowledgements: Gregory Maxwell and Pieter Wuille for most of the ideas in this BIP. Bryan Bishop for editing.'
asciilifeform: ^ archive.is seems to break anchors
asciilifeform: ( https://archive.is/QFIFw )
asciilifeform: Framedragger: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=29497693&sid=82d9b8ff7442a8e58f779a08c0d06494#p29497693
asciilifeform: ^ argentina mandates diebold voting machine and proclaims that publication of flaws is punishable ☟︎
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/nnVrp << in other lulz, amerikanization!11111
asciilifeform: !~google lenovo rootkit
asciilifeform: !#s lenovo rootkit
asciilifeform: no, ordinary rootkit
asciilifeform: etc
asciilifeform: or the winblowz rootkit which still ships with the stock bios
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it is trivial to pull the card. my point is that there is an abundance of mysteriously softwaretronic 'hardware switches' for write-protect, radio-toggle, etc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-20#1556998 << wtf is such a 'hardware' switch worth ?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/wL0Ev << in other lelz
asciilifeform: (consider, why did they not simply clim-for-winblowz ??)
asciilifeform: and probably not fixable w/out making iron.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-19#1556881 << i must point out, much as i have 0 luvvv for these folx, that this was a forced move. clim is ugly and dog-slow for what i suspect are fundamental reasons . ☝︎
asciilifeform: and then tearing out chunks of it as i nuked'em
asciilifeform: on ordinary laser
asciilifeform: lulzily, i did end up printing it personally
asciilifeform: lol
