mircea_popescu: threatpost.ru ? 0 comments everywhere, i never heard of it etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude that zdnet article was probably the most idiotic thing i read today.
asciilifeform: davout: i cannot comment re: whether 20th anniversary thing censored any of the goodies from 2nd ed, or added nonsense. but it strikes me as likely.
mircea_popescu: i don't remember what all he retardified post 2004
davout: so wrt the schneier book i see 'second edition', and '20th anniversary edition'
mircea_popescu: i guess they're slow.
asciilifeform: unless i somehow picked up wrong link
davout: i can't read books on a screen
asciilifeform: i have the dead tree, it is very nice.
davout: yeah, i saw this one
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be too worried about it, it's probably on everyone's im
mircea_popescu: davout 138.More factored RSA keys, and assorted other considerations (trilema.com)3 points by davout 2 hours ago | discuss << it's greyed out, so i guess it got neg'd somehow.
mircea_popescu: davout apparently "it’s impossible to downvote anything on Hacker News". i guess story just isn't interesting.
davout: mircea_popescu: on osx you can either build GPG, or use this macgpg stuff, i use the former, so can't really help here
davout: mircea_popescu: i don't know, i really don't hang around hn very much
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that the 'apple product safety' thing is a target. that is, folks filing bug reports 'confidentially'
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: and am i correct in my reading that thermonuke ver. never died ? << correct.
asciilifeform: davout: i was wondering same thing, as you might expect. anyone got an ancient copy of pgp for winblows handy ?
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 12:54:33; asciilifeform: until i saw the auto-updater crud, my most parsimonious hypothesis re: the matter treated in last section of mircea_popescu's article was that the buggers built a straight chumpmagnet, where lusers would search sks for email addr. of someone or other, and end up with latest key (try it) displayed being one of the 'magic' ones
asciilifeform: mod6: and am i correct in my reading that thermonuke ver. never died ?
asciilifeform: i presently suspect that there are versions of sks (and/or other pgptronics) which will stupidly display a legit fp for the magical keys.

Apocalyptic: yeah, i'm not saying it's saner
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i keep various cheap gadgets around that will eat pdfs. you can get chinese printer that will, etc. (why? well, mathematical material is not likely to exist in any other form)
davout: not sure i'd know how to exploit it
kakobrekla: and this is the hn effect, supposedly http://i.imgur.com/AXyjE0h.png
kakobrekla: since I saw this clip, i always try to mispronounce it, if i remember on time.
kakobrekla: davout> so far, the ranking is on par with "I've been saying “Parmesan” wrong my whole life" < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPyFRa39AMk
davout: so far, the ranking is on par with "I've been saying “Parmesan” wrong my whole life"
cazalla: hey isaackl, i know this one weird tip if you need some help
mircea_popescu: i prefer to not communicate lol. do your job, report the methodology and results once you're done. you got a blog ? ☟︎
isaackl: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1139982 < and yes, I'll follow this advice ☝︎
isaackl: The only banner I see links to trilema? But yeah, ifhe 8chan ads are fairly new, there's probably a ton of optimising can be done
mircea_popescu: i would guess 90% of all marketing is happening on 8chan via mike_c s banners
mircea_popescu: i dun think anyone did much of anything.
mircea_popescu: isaackl i think they're too advanced for my puny brain
isaackl: mircea_popescu: what can I say, maybe they have no purpose, only dopamine causes
cazalla: must be a different type of addict who plays them, i can't imagine your typical gambler playing them seeing there is no moment of win/loss
mircea_popescu: eh i give up.
mircea_popescu: i've been trying to figure this out.
isaackl: And some fish just love to gamble. I used to do marketing for the mobile-slots chumpatron, humorously people pay real money but they can't cash out real money
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 01:11:02; BingoBoingo: Today was the day of the planting of ornamental amaranths (Celosia). See cazalla I'm totally planting edible plants if I want to eat like the world's desperately poor!
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1139747 <<< i dunno but i think anything grown in your backyard has you eating as a king, not a poor pleb ☝︎
isaackl: To be clear, I wasn't proposing to make such a thing.
mircea_popescu: i.... i imagine they know that.
mircea_popescu: isaackl you really think i depend on you to make me the tools that the universe requires for my survival ?
isaackl: What I'm getting to is, if you can make a secure wallet that's easy to use for, say, the peter schiffs of the world, that increases the demand for bitcoin, no?
ben_vulpes: i was going to go to sleep
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, for the journos and other news fiends watching the log : i came to a resolution of a major sticking point re the rsa factorisation thing, large article coming in a few hours.
isaackl: Anyway, all I was getting to is that in the long run, even gold is softer than bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i am just very old.
ben_vulpes: "this coordinate system is highly unportable, and it always ended up being an intermediate stage to some other coordinate system. Thus this coordinate system has been exorcised and should be avoided in the future. JPM 1-29-91" << i am actually growing to love software archaeology
mircea_popescu: isaackl come up with the formula for bitcoin inflation, i'm curious.
mircea_popescu: it's the blessing of suck, you know ? very beautiful (and i mean, VERY, stunner beautiful) chicks develop early adolescence dementia because of all the insane sexual attention they get and don't really want, need, or know what to do with.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah i'm going to find her photo and then doxx her
isaackl: Why I came here
isaackl: OK, unlike justJanne I'm very willing to have my youthful derpiness forcefully removed
isaackl: This is indeed why I spend my time right now just researching
isaackl: OK, concrete idea I had
ben_vulpes: i blame your keymageddon
gribble: justJanne was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 16 hours, 8 minutes, and 45 seconds ago: <justJanne> Anyway, I'm sorry, but I don't have much time arguing with people like you stupidly about fictional politics.
mircea_popescu: i see this is becoming a dailything now.
isaackl: (i.e., after a few more reward halvings mean less coin is being dumped on the market by miners, speculators have been burned enough times that more coin is held by long-term investors and volatility drops a bit)
isaackl: End-goal is to build a legit bitcoin biz but I've read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124441.0 so I'm not rushing into anything
isaackl: I'm just derping around in Thailand, riding motorbikes, and reading up on finance, cryptography and bitcoin
isaackl: Though I'm not a "startup founder"
isaackl: I'm registered
isaackl: Yeah, I figured that as the most likely null hypothesis
isaackl: I would still bet that 95% of bitcoin startup guys are true believers
isaackl: I.e., how many of the VC-funded "crypocurrency! blockchain!" startups have realised the optimal move is simply to hoard bitcoin?
isaackl: So I wonder
isaackl: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130899 < I see there was already some discussion of 21.co ☝︎
isaackl: Figured since I've actually read a decent amount of trilema.com and the b-a logs I should finally join the chan
isaackl: I was reading the epic conversation with justJanne
ben_vulpes: not if i can't help it
ben_vulpes: "The key facet of the OS X audio I/O model involves predictive timing mechanisms. Instead of requiring the driver to message an application directly when an I/O cycle has completed, the timing mechanisms enable the Audio HAL to predict when the cycle will complete." << wowee
ben_vulpes: zactly what i was lookin for
mircea_popescu: whenever i sleep, he comes up with something.
ben_vulpes: hanbot: specifically the part i found amusing was the closing </code> tag at the top of the document and the opening <code> tag at the bottom
hanbot: ben_vulpes yeah i'd be happy to find a better way to do that.
decimation: ben_vulpes: I'm familiar with the idea that exists. no idea how it is calculated
ben_vulpes: 'But she added the uses of hashtags such as "kill all white men" on her personal account were "in-jokes and ways that many people in the queer feminist community express ourselves".' << gotta love these people. "when you make jokes i don't understand and therefore piss me off, i round up a hate squad and get you fired. when i make jokes, it's in-group solidarity and YOU CAN'T SAY ANYHTING ABOUT IT"
mod6: there's a link at the top of that paste to where I found it.
mod6: ok, so gnupg v2 relies on libgcrypt to generate the keys, i finally found the code: dpaste.com/3106AJC.txt Seems that it does the same thing as v1 when doing the Euler totient.
tidus: I love my nexus 6 and nexus 9
trinque: I'm spelunking in the wayback machine for shasums or something
asciilifeform: mod6: i'd like to see ones from wot folks' disks.
mod6: i see one here as old as 1.2.0
asciilifeform: i have a 1.4.11 from 2010 if that helps
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> <pete_dushenski> looks like ex machina wasn't popular with the b-a crowd. no huge shock, i suppose. << whattabout Fury Road? << No One's going to talk about the blantant pro-Doge propaganda in Age of Ultron?
ben_vulpes: i'll follow up on this later.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so i walk into $redacted on monday and folks compare me to pons & fleischmann. so there'll be teasing, yes. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu i've developed a heuristic. see litmus.py on dulap.
pete_dushenski: but i'm off for persian dinner. laters !!
ben_vulpes: ah i do enjoy the odd kids' movie, but those are largely action movies as well
pete_dushenski: so i see more than my share of 'kids movies'
pete_dushenski: i'm more of a comedy man myself, but there aren't really 'modern releases' in this genre that aren't animated.
pete_dushenski: furious 7 was the last, before that i dun even remember.
ben_vulpes: i only watch action movies.
pete_dushenski: it's rare that i see a mainstream flick, ex machina was definitely an exception.
