this is not "true for very many keys like a billion
trillion keys".
this is
true all
the way up, by
the
time one's made 10^609 keys we're starting
to get into five-nines assurance of unicity.

this is evidently a "loss" of entropy, in
the sense
that what is advertised (4096) differs from what is actually delivered (no more
than 4090). i am of a good mind
to start calling
them 4090 bit keys
tbh.

the reason you stick
the first 1 in
the front is, evidently,
to not end up with sub-4096 Ns
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> in other news : it was established in
teh minigame
torture rooms
that in point of fact 4096 bit keys contain only 4090 bits of entropy at
the very most (minus whatever koch-gpg manages
to shave off in other ways). << uugh. every
time we peel a layer back...
shinohai: of course, im

shinohai: Go ahead and clear
Tuesday
too.
shinohai: Johnson, clear my schedule for

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the chances of such repeating happening naturally'd be ~the inverse of ∏(1 - 2i/6.5e612), 1<i<n where n is
the number of keys ever made. fortunately
this evaluates
to "never" on all extant iron.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back
to rsa discussion :
there's about 6.5e612 primes in
the interval 2^2045-1, 0 (by
teh prime number
theorem). every key needs a pair of
these, and no number can EVER be repeated (if it is -- phuctor breaks both keys).
diana_coman: p and q are different so
there won't be exactly
this limit case
there, but obv same 4095 bits n instead of 4096 for other low-enough odd numbers
that might be primes

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reason you stick
the 2nd 1 in front is, not evidently, also
to not end up with sub-4096 Ns : if you had
the exceptional case of your primes being each 2^2047 + 1 your N would
then be 2^4094+2^2048+1, which is shorter
than 4096 bits.

the first 1 in
the front is, evidently,

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reason you stick
the 1 in
the
tail is
to ensure odd numbers -- large even numbers are never prime.
this much is a math-forced reduction.
mircea_popescu: the reason is
that (in a
translation of what koch-gpg does into sanity) you
take 2045 bits of rng for each possible prime, stick 11 in front and 1 in
the
tail and
THAT is your 2048 bit prime candidate.

ag3nt_zer0: Never been in a place
that has equaled
that in regards
to my definition of a warm home... looking forward
to learning more of Ingels

to
the limit in
terms of
the speed
that
they can operate at, and asking our suppliers
to make robots go way faster, and
they are shocked because nobody has ever asked
them
that question. It's like if you can see
the robot move, it's
too slow. We should be caring about air friction like
things moving so fast. You should need a strobe light
to see it. And
that's incredibly critical
to CapEx
BingoBoingo: I
thought needing a strobe light
to see was something young boys learned escaping Kevin Spacey's basement

☟︎ BingoBoingo: "Instead of fetching your slippers
they’ll shit on
them without remorse, as if keenly aware
that ruining your property would be insulting
to you. Instead of sleeping next
to you, ready, and waiting in guard position,
they will find a comfy spot squarely on your forehead, burrow down and screech
to high heaven if you motion
to remove
them. Rinse and repeat
they will, despite many deserved beatings. Brats."
BingoBoingo: In other mine chaff: "What
the fuck…
that is
the most messed up
thing I ever read. I am not European just because I have white skin, you sicko. I do not relate
to
the experiences of white people, why would I identify with
them? You probably have an inferiority complex and feel
the need
to pretend you’re white because you hate yourself."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What more is
there
to say, Spent good chunk of
the day learning from
the weapon of mass destruction in my passenger seat.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've been ferrying a miss
trainwreck around as favor
to her sponsor. Very entertaining ordeal.
jhvh1: 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as
the result of
these steps, we
tried
to carry
this message
to alcoholics, and
to practice
these principles in all our affairs.
BingoBoingo back from ferrying a little miss

thee not, 'research chemist'. not because knew any chemistry, but because
there was -- i shit
thee not -- no box
to 'tick' in
the form, for 'programmer')
mircea_popescu: how come everything
these people do is wankery "with a nsn"
mats: i've heard a number of stories with folks using pointy end of empty rifle
to strike dwelling inhabitants during breach&clear, jokesters bringing hatchets, axes, machetes for MOUT, etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly, i believe
there's 0 expectation on
the part of us army
that anyone under
that flag will ever fight again. "you wanna shoot, join
the police wtf! army is for "assisting local combatants"
mircea_popescu seems
to recall
this is
the problem
the original english also encountered. "these colonists dun understand how fighting wars works!!"
mats: i passed out after getting hit in formation
the one
time
mats: also don't
train
to fight with bayonet anymore either
mats: too many recruits fucking it up and getting people recycled
to start
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 03:12 asciilifeform: hey mats did usg schutzstaffel corps
teachya
to set legs ?
mircea_popescu: b, n right next
to each other. geddit ? it's ANOTHER joke. wrapped in a poon.
mircea_popescu: jsm. could come with a handy "pronounciation guide", which
the sort of
tard outfits listing "evanghelist" and "at large" on
their "Careers" page always include in
their god-awful "phonetic" pigdin i mean peeg-deen
mircea_popescu: (funny shit,
too, wasn't "medium" gonna be IT last year ? now "steemit" ? next month "wegiveup",
the "platform for america" ?)
mircea_popescu: conceivably SOME of
that came other
than "because we published in
today's mp-wp clone-wannabe"
mircea_popescu: the shadow brokers wrote a post, with
the shit
they did. made
them... 19.81
mircea_popescu: sooner or later it gotta get
through
teh skulls
that no,
there's no "power in
the multitudes".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, some random dorks "reinventing" some web or
the other.
mircea_popescu: if only
they had
the sense
to be in
the pizzeria line a few years ago!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : 19BY2XCgbDe6WtTVbTyzM9eR3LYr6VitWK,
the btc address printed on some "shadow brokers blog", got almost enough money for a small boat.
