mircea_popescu: man acting alone is stuck with these "oh, a conclave of idiots bent on self preservation and avoiding the lowly station their idiocy warrants them holds all the power, and i'll act
as man alone confronted by governemnt".
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: so no, my guess is not
as good
as yours. i can speak ex cathedra.
zx2c4: your guess about secret government conspiracies is
as good
as mine? some people think they are vast; others think they are small. some think ecc; others think rsa; some think jfk; others think apollo. ...
mircea_popescu: which is possibly the one point where we mostly diverge in our priors, you look upon published extant cryptology
as some kind of a scientific discipline, whereas to me it's ~gender studies for numbers.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand, the expectation here isn't "longer, therefore better". the situation is
as described above, my key budget is 4096 bits, both ecc and rsa are ok by this measure.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: ahh that ignorant and antiquated notion, that "key size implies security size". or do you think there will be some amazing GNFS-like algorithms that come out for ECC, requiring ECC to use absurdly huge keys in the same way
as RSA?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious,
as it comes from a single source, which is a criminal org with a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the only thing you can get with a smaller key is "something just
as good", in the sense mcdonalds is just
as good
as the restaurant i go to. perhaps it is -- for the poor. i'm not poor, nor do i orient my life around the needs of the needy.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the idea being that the "wtf are you going to do, keep talking forever with anyone you ever talk to ?! morons!" problem is not unknown, but a major item giving me a bellyache
as it stands now. invariants, god damn them all.
Darwin_Fish: Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things
as you have. (Heb 13:5 NKJ)
Darwin_Fish: I often refer to religion
as you described it
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, anyway, theology is the study of divinity
as a theoretical possibility ; religion is the study of historical human practice. the catholics resolve this problem by claiming (falsely) that they were specifically promised god will preserve their religion in theology. this claim has all the strength of their claim constantine deeded them the world.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Romans 1:21 :: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
mircea_popescu: i'll propose something to you : inasmuch
as one is in a better position understanding god for god, rather than understanding god for what some guy said, cryptography is the most direct path to divinity.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, this is not a problem with modern industry
as much
as it's a problem with the EXTREME cognitive cost of design.
mircea_popescu:
as a matter of fact, there's no design in cave rooms : you will dig where the soil [read: resistence of the medium] permits you to dig, and that is all.

as "a userland" at all in there)
ascii_lander: can't think of why else. couldn't be for the burned old tyre they serve
as 'coffee'
mircea_popescu: "tourism" you know.
as if that fucking counts
as travel. "totally not brownstone tenement sir" british houses consisting of 1.7 sq ft of garden in front, and "bbq space" behind.
ascii_lander was just nao having a quite mircea_popescuine '

mircea_popescu: so, if your desert march results in a jewel of code, a la ffa, sure. if your desert march results in ample "lulz"
as we call them, ie, intricate, unforgiving documentation of orcs' idiocy, sure.
mod6: Of course, we have other tasks such
as re-doing wallet, how we dump all keys from wallet, and others. Just thought I'd venture in and see what was what.
mircea_popescu:
as there's not enough room in reality for both their larpings, they eventually split, there's a useless "new" php without mysql and a similarily useless "new" mysql withouyt php now. that neitjher were ANYTHING other than "one piece of LAMP, which exists STRICTLY because tmsr v 0.1 says it does" entirely wooshes over all their herads.
ascii_lander: even such fabled items
as BingoBoingo's hostel, are not quite what i expected. there's moar sunlight, walkable space, etc there, than in my house!

douchebag: hanbot: I only asked because someone joined
as mircea_popescu but I wasn't sure if it was really him due to his name getting switched to guest. I'll be less noisy when bringing women in here.
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-15#1799616 look douchebag, for every girl you bring in here there's like 10+ lines of bs from you. i've got nothing against you personally, but you're littering the logs with noise --it's annoying

mircea_popescu: Include vhosts.d/*.conf should not barf ; however you don't need a "path to",
as it already runs from the directory above that,
as part of the main config.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i must be thick, or whoever packaged it for gentoo did some inscrutable 'simplification'
as a vanilla apache install over here came with none of the conveniences i expected to see a la a2ensite or sites_enabled/disabled, adding Include /path/to/vhosts.d/*.conf caused serverwide barfage

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, you don't have a point. take measurement
as a more general case. sure we can measure things, but a) we don't oblige everyone to measure everything all the time and b) we certainly don't insist on arbitrary precision.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798160 <-- I can definitely see this angle. my point is that by giving up the "general-purpose" pretense altogether, the system designer can qualitatively reduce the implicit trust in code running in the system. so yes,

lobbes: damn. meta-pun. try
as I might I cannot follow
mircea_popescu: hm. i can't help but read this passage
as "on my way i got waylaid by these fellows who saw i had dough and well..." ; but then again i'm a cynical sort.
mircea_popescu: "A couple weeks later, I get accosted by some drunk chick who heard from a friend that I “think women shouldn’t be allowed to speak.” She argued with me alongside one of her friends — that is, I argued some perfectly valid points, while she got increasingly beligerant; much to the friend’s dismay, who even expressed that I was coming off
as the victUAL". jeez this guy's saturday nights!

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686438 <<< yes, because you're applying the pretense of statics to a dynamic situation. trinque 's metaphore is very much factual : we were paradopped on hot coals, by the FAULT, inexcusable, and indelible, of our parents. they should have taken care that we do not get dropped on hot coals,
as children barely able to move. they did not, and derelict in their first and practically speaking on
ben_vulpes: i want to read what trinque has to say
as well
mod6: Not
as much ``tbtf initiatives''
as it is just the larger Republic, neh?
mod6: Maybe that's not
as reasonable
as what you're suggesting though -- a reoccuring grant.
mod6: You're totally making sense. It could be a reoccuring grant; needs to be re-newed yearly (or some interval). I'm not in the best position to have an idea
as to what is a sensible amount for the interval.
mod6: I view his work on deedbot & wallet
as highly-necessary and critical. So you kinda read my mind when you asked us above.
douchebag: I just want to have a dedicated box to review these on, and
as mircea_popescu mentioned I'll be sent a server
trinque: let whatever comes in
as revenue trickle over into a rainy day fund if a wallet gets popped
trinque: got ya thatbitchlola; going to be moving the wallet to pizarro hosting soon

mircea_popescu: and now think -- that for his great merits, aristotle was in fact given by the city "2000 btc", ie exactly what you mean by it, "sufficient money so
as i can be a righteous man alone".
zx2c4: not sure i have the same interpretation of phaedo
as you
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 so i take it you're familiar with history
as retold by the esl : how socrates died, and how plato did not die.
mircea_popescu: but what is the difference ? some ancestor decided to preserve his degeneration.
as a rock or
as a grandson, whatever. are they more than this ?
mircea_popescu: evolution at work, the reason the fish doesn't remove the bloodsucker is that the bloodsucker is so designed
as to sit in the fish's blind spot.
mircea_popescu: that way you can move into the future, conduct your negotiations
as "three bitcents for 9348aafb and 2.5 bitcents for ffa03994"
mod6: nope. called dc, was like sweet
as pie, "plz put in ssd, or i'll send you one, can you put in?" "yup, we've got one, no problem."
mircea_popescu: now then, a "general purpose operating system" is "that set of code which is trusted implicitly", "
as long
as it makes no particular assumptions about the rest of the code that will run on the machine".
☟︎ diana_coman: or at least that was the old idea
as far
as I know it
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in spykedisms, 'I further propose that current definitions of the term operating system are ill-conceived, and that the problem of how to properly design a general-purpose operating system is in principle unresolvable, first and foremost because there is no such thing
as a "general-purpose operating system"'
diana_coman: for all the supposed Easter and all the supposed town, it felt for the first time like the villages in Baragan; possibly part of the explanation it's also the first time I saw queues (
as in actual queues, more than 20 people) at the ..."currency exchange and pawn shop" places
diana_coman: the one in the woods quite
as usual if changed for the usual erosion that has been going on in that area ever since I know it; the town-wilderness was somehow sad beyond description
danielpbarron: drunkards wills not inherit the kingdom of God; a lost man is not saved by drinking a lot -- the strong drink offer is twofold: if you are going to perish (burn in hell), you might
as well enjoy life now ; and, maybe in your drunkeness you will see the folly of your lifestyle, and turn to God
mircea_popescu: by the time some waitress somewhere's willing to try just about any chemsludge in the hope she might extract herself from the imposition of the world
as she perceives it, you'd be at serious pains to show her much of a sinner.
mod6: thanks for the update diana_coman. i've been running with that patch too -- I've had some falling behind I believe not related to his vpatch, and instead related to ssd disk flakyness (
as detailed in last month's SoBA).
