mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he should go on a tandem bike with those tandem pants...
mircea_popescu: woefully behind the times, these men of "wake me up when"
mircea_popescu: "there's no further need for a usg computing arm. here's the entire archive of everything. we're moving on."
mircea_popescu: what happened to tearing the entire us com apart in 1992 ?
mircea_popescu: "we just want the world to be a better place somehow vaguely and ''technologically'' which is just doublespoken easily, and to be nice to each other".
mircea_popescu: excited like little children at paper fortunes, puffing and huffing on their stick horses without an inkling of understanding of how horses work, let alone to what fucking purpose they'd like to run them. and without the clue to even begin not knowing the difference, but noticing something's amiss.
mircea_popescu: honestly, the age never existed. i've seen such ages, up close and personal. but the composition of this particular version was exceedingly weak. not even teracotta soldiers, more like pillsbury doughmen.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the age of "we're all intellectuals here and therefore gentlemen" is long gone.
mircea_popescu: deedbot, i can see. logs, i can see. what exactly goes into this archive ? why do you trust anything in it ?
mircea_popescu: explain to me how this thing can be useful as kept by unrelated randos.
mircea_popescu: yeah kinda what i was vaguely and amateurishly curious about.
mircea_popescu: came out right about the time of the impeachment, too.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, anyone saw travolta's outrageous incarnation of a bill clinton idealized above and beyond anything brejnev ever got ?
mircea_popescu: and, much like the retard with the "live password", no fucking idea what he's doing wrong.
mircea_popescu: "I need your assistance if you can. I accidentally sent a message to the [redacted] email list last night with a live password in it. The password is hardcoded in to dozens of machines, so changing it would be… inconvenient, to say the least. I don’t yet see the message on your archive page, so I can’t provide the URL link, but I wanted to see if you could remove the message before it is processed and posted."
mircea_popescu: phf im mostly ignorant of the stuff (heck, i think i read gmane... once. in like 1996. it didn't deliver.) but what exact idiocy is kay sievers invested in not reverting at whatever cost, including his anal virginity ?
mircea_popescu: "could recon", for as long as you stayed within certain demos
mircea_popescu: i wonder if any of the derpy investors ever did any sort of dd whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: actually. less than 10% of people alive EVER HAD a fb. less than 10% of THOSE touched it in the past year.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: guess what ? less than 10% of people alive actually have a fb.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm doing a large-ish project whereby various bullshit "countries" leak their civil records (ie, names, ssi, taxids, address etc) of their whole population ; which then gets searched in fb db.
mircea_popescu: eh, i wouldn't be too worried. by now most of "the crowd" is made out of washed outs who thought at some point they were somebody.
mircea_popescu: it's just "bruteforce from a conveniently chosen spot", mostly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing that advanced/serious even. they leak it.

mircea_popescu: symptomatic for the "we are the premiere science and tech world in the world", it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why i say depends on the set-up. maybe something plouffe-esque could be had to fit it in tight ram
mircea_popescu: obviously a lot of the cpu is not really used to do bignum mults. a smaller lot of the gpu isn't.
mircea_popescu: dependiong on your set-up, possibly. not very clear how.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, "owned by whitening" is not altogether a bad theory wrt the null-entropy keys. ie, "they replaced rng with null-outputting one, never noticed because whitening". this, of course, doesn't explain why gpg would end up with null-generated keys, but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: what do you do other than lurking ? ie, "for teh ecosystem"
mircea_popescu: shinohai _FeltPen do you two have anything more substantive of a beef than what one might have implied by what he might have said on facebook ?
mircea_popescu: _FeltPen stop linking nonsense sm and explain stuff in plain terms before that half hour runs out
mircea_popescu: they have opinions on things, and the collected value of those opinions is nothing.
