asciilifeform: phf: note that you cannot buy ~these~ motor bikes in a store.

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: ' Van den Driessche and her father deny any intent to cheat and say that the situation was a mix-up: A friend’s bike outfitted with a motor was mistakenly brought to the pits. ' << l0lz

asciilifeform: http://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/news/how-does-mechanical-doping-work << photo, apparently.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: one would imagine, naively, that they would draw lots and pick one from a set, like dueling pistols

asciilifeform: i always thought it was peculiar that the bike folk get to use own machines

asciilifeform: *cheat

asciilifeform: 'cheas as much as humanly possible, then in your wolf form, cheat moar!111'

asciilifeform: in others, it was based on clinometer, i think

asciilifeform: in at least one case

asciilifeform: they had concealed switch in handlebar.

asciilifeform: to learn which houses are empty

asciilifeform: e.g., for squatters, or burglars

asciilifeform: which, incidentally, is a great tool for 1,001 jobs

asciilifeform: apparently nobody expected thermovisor.

asciilifeform: worm gear.

asciilifeform: someone put 3d model on 'youtube'

asciilifeform: very spiffy motor.

asciilifeform: they are made in switzerland. i had just such a motor in the 'tecan' robot.

asciilifeform: it is, i think, a 'maxon'

asciilifeform: i recognized the motor immediately from the photo

asciilifeform: with very thin shaft leading through where the pedals mount

asciilifeform: others - thin, long motor in ~shaft~ of bike

asciilifeform: at least 2 had the magnetized wheel arrangement

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, the bicycle cheat thing apparently has been a crackpot hypothesis for ~years, 'mechanical doping', and it has come out ~how~ it was done

asciilifeform: afaik this is record.

asciilifeform: as in, 0 interruption.

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trb has been up for 100+ consecutive dayz there.

asciilifeform: but not elsewhere.

asciilifeform: the update shows up on their www panel

asciilifeform: yeah but this is a new wtf low.

asciilifeform: it is ~2days now and nothing.

asciilifeform: but apparently namecheap is a cesspool

asciilifeform: and i put in, believe it, a a-record update

asciilifeform: i actually wanted phuctor.nosuchlabs.com ☟︎

asciilifeform: subprimez!

asciilifeform: l0ltr0n1c

asciilifeform: and encrypto to it !

asciilifeform: try downloading the key (hit button on the bottom of page)

asciilifeform: betcha these overflow on some godforsaken winblowz pseudopgptron.

asciilifeform: pull out a napkin, do this, you will enjoy.

asciilifeform: you don't get a unique inverse !

asciilifeform: (it IS possible to operate with a key having nonprime e, but NOT if it isn't comprime with modulus!111)

asciilifeform: betcha it ain't

asciilifeform: check if it's coprime with his modulus 1st

asciilifeform: mega-primez.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: very difficult to say exact theta.

asciilifeform: which?

asciilifeform: and yeah adding them to db, annotating the 'notes' etc

asciilifeform: it is heuristically walking the mods

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: realize that the thing isn't actually phuctoring in the traditional sense atm

asciilifeform: but after that yeah

asciilifeform: well there will be round 2, with an sks dump that isn't circa 2014.

asciilifeform: all at once, as tree, rather than 1 at a time.

asciilifeform: (bernstein's method)

asciilifeform: it is to be a massive batch factor thing. ☟︎

asciilifeform: plan is i revv up the engine some time late tomorrow.

asciilifeform: it is heavy.

asciilifeform: it is impractically large, i thought about regenning it weekly and putting up torrent perhaps

asciilifeform: ah the product

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: and/or that.

asciilifeform: (~900+ braindamaged keyz alone, etc)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i prolly oughta implement paged views.

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: (currently deduplicating)

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, 2nd batch of keyz loading in.

asciilifeform: but how is that bitcoin ?

asciilifeform: you get 'swift'

asciilifeform: if a miner exists in 3 universities ?

asciilifeform: how much is it 'bitcoin' if you only have a dozen relays ?

asciilifeform: tricky bit

asciilifeform: rubbish computers take their toll.

asciilifeform: arguably if richie and pike hadn't been able to find a junkyard pdp, we would also be better off.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: and communicate with other mircea_popescus via pigeon.

asciilifeform: and he would write on parchment

asciilifeform: otherwise it would cost as mars launch costs.

asciilifeform: and for some reason mircea_popescu is reluctant to confront the fact that even he can only remotely afford fab time because it is subsidized by the drool of a billion 'konsooomerz'

asciilifeform: now - billion.

asciilifeform: aha but then you had to steal a million.

asciilifeform: unless you are mircea_popescu and can take over a whole fab.

asciilifeform: and in 2029 probably will not be.

asciilifeform: fact is, in '09 there was the freedom to write, e.g., bitcoin.

asciilifeform: other than to hitler.

asciilifeform: there is nothing advantageous about the non-programmable computer being the only available.

asciilifeform: specious analogy.

asciilifeform: so i would like to see mircea_popescu actually sneak something into a mil+ items production line

asciilifeform: lithographically.

asciilifeform: hardwired pattern, aha

asciilifeform: do you know what is a mask rom ?

asciilifeform: key - in mask rom.

asciilifeform: no.

asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu grasp how ic fab tooling works ?

asciilifeform: how do we benefit from nintendo/crapple's scale ?

asciilifeform: ok this is the part where i'm lost

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu will personally maintain them ?

asciilifeform: why will they be there ?

asciilifeform: from thread 2 yrs ago.
