mircea_popescu: i can already smell the steak. it will be beef, corn on the cobb, a bottle of fine wine and mushroom sauce.
mircea_popescu: fucking imagine this, eight cars showing up to bring you individually wrapped cheezits.
mircea_popescu: at a time with our chips, crackers, and ramen, over a span of 4 hours. I received an email saying my Monster Energy Drink had been delivered, but nobody had shown up with it. I sent an email inquiry."
mircea_popescu: money shot : "Because my order came from nine different stores, eight separate vehicles showed up at our offices. Only eight, because my Teriyaki Yakisoba from Smart & Final was canceled from the SF order: Out of Stock in Daly City. I received that same item in my Mountain View order, because it was still in stock in San Mateo. Not a single cracker was broken!Not a single cracker was broken! In SF, three drivers showed up one

mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-01#1719082 here we encounter the example : https://elaineou.com/2014/06/04/google-shopping-express-and-the-future-of-on-demand-delivery/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ahaha this is fucking hysterical.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : reflections in a golden eye feature the harlot a) naked b) talking hardcore bdsm with an even more potato-y than usual brando and c) engaging in some public caning
ben_vulpes: (also starring steven weber, who also starred in the never-spoken-about-again pilot of 'being bin laden' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5o8jYNBORU )
mircea_popescu: the sad macula of modernity is that even liz taylor's tits seem small.
ben_vulpes: no tits, tho iirc
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, anyone familiar with the early anti-pot hearst smear campaigns ? (1930s). it's a long string of, basically, "do you want your daugther sucking mexican cock ? and corrupting her sister to participate in wild orgies? ?!?! !!?!?!? "
asciilifeform: ( enemy still dun get to address it, because that's the whole point of the glass, to make the 'you get 1 bit at a time' thing happen )
asciilifeform: btw rowhammer dun apply to sram.
mircea_popescu: well, first step to instrumentation is modelling it on your own whiteboard.
asciilifeform: the addressing sequence is fixed. can't rearrange the circuit without busting the physical package.
asciilifeform: it pisses bits one by one, take no input.
asciilifeform: um the fact that enemy can't address it ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, what's to keep your glass ball from rowhammer.
asciilifeform: so there is no state of the art.
asciilifeform: phf: lose-key-if-tampered is only practical with remanence-free sram. which afaik exists only here in the l0gz and nowhere else.
mircea_popescu: 500ml of powder should make a decent hole / tear an arm off.
phf: asciilifeform: that i figured out, the whole contraption reminds me of that ru anti-temper device pdf that you posted recently
asciilifeform: lol! as pictured in that story aha
mircea_popescu: this'd be a helluva device, incidentally, for teh wife bimbofication process. "congrats on your new 1150 ml funbags hon, and remember, if they detect the wrong hand..."
asciilifeform: phf: not only schematic above dun explode, but ideally it would not even zero key, but rngize, so enemy has nfi whether trap sprung or not
mircea_popescu: "does this boob implant come in black and also smokeless powder variants ???"
phf: i believe we had a booby trap thread, about putting grenades into those reinforced 90s doors
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo a hey, so not completely clueless then. good to know.
asciilifeform: that's what i specified, thought it was obvious.
asciilifeform: not the detonating sort of trap, but the key-wipin' sort
mircea_popescu: it's an intrinsically unsafe thing, this boobytrap bs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it may surprise you to know that i've no bear traps laying about the house ; not even in dungeon.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in the sense court will order you to support college kid. << Fambly court will
asciilifeform: if he fails to silently break even ~one~, you have a working otp !
asciilifeform: note that these 'tanks' do not have to be impregnable, in order to work. if the enemy has a 1 in 10 chance of breaking it -- send a crate with 100 and xor'em. for so long as it is easier for you to make'em than for him to crack'em, by a wide margin, he is fucked
asciilifeform: if operating normally, however -- pisses out, say, byte/sec optically through glass.
asciilifeform: for sake of argument, pour it (+ power source) into glass globe. if package detects that temp is too far from room, or that the globe got smaller in any axis ( e.g. internal refraction will change ) -- blows the sram.
BingoBoingo: criticism, dunno how far it's going to go
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and since we're doing amusings -- i wonder why exactly hasn't the "alt right" picked up on JESUIT heritage to bitch and whine about ? it's just about the core of modern pantsuitism, it was historically oppressed specifically for pantsuitism, and when i say historically i mean centuries not decades, why exactly nobody knows enough to say "the jesuits will not replace us" ? << The Return of Kink thing has done some jesuit
a111: Logged on 2017-05-16 01:51 asciilifeform: if i were drawing up such a thing, i'd even have the sram work in such a way that 10 is a 1 on odd clock cycles, 0 on even
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> 90s a lot dumber than originally thought, in the us. << Pantsuit was president. Bill just sorta decoration to quiet the rednecks
asciilifeform: there does exist such a thing as a physical limit.
mircea_popescu: and if all men were the same height how would women choose.
asciilifeform: i disagree that it crumbles : if you were to find a nonparallelizable trapdoor that no one is likely to outrun you in computing -- you have the item.
mircea_popescu: but your original claim, that "to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :", crumbled under scrutiny.
asciilifeform: it is not necessarily impossible to do this.
asciilifeform: it only becomes interesting if we can turn the 10 to a 0.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is so safe about this ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. so you get hdd 1, make 5 copies, i capture one, start grinding it into an otp. so do you. if my computer is 10% faster i'll have the i+1 10% faster than you will.
asciilifeform: now if we can put a bound on the enemy's advantage in calculating the (nonparallelizable, note, it should be clear why ) output -- we have the item.
mircea_popescu: there are no ticks irl.
asciilifeform: now let's picture, enemy captures the box.
asciilifeform: 2 ) a mechanism similar to bitcoin's sha2 pow, where it grinds out a collision , the number of ticks that it took, xor'd with pad loc i, then next i+1 , .... , until pad runs out.
asciilifeform: consists of 1) an ordinary, trivially copied otp, e.g. a hdd full of fuckgoatsolade ;
mircea_popescu: now this is interesting
asciilifeform: to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :
mircea_popescu: there's no way to have alf nominated personally in the workings of physics, and thereby have a tape alf and alf alone can fuck with
mircea_popescu: no. either it's "slow tape nonrandom access" or else it's "alf gets to fuck with it"
asciilifeform: whole q is whether they are contradictory. i say not.
asciilifeform: yer postulating the conclusion.
asciilifeform: dun make for crypto, though, for obvious reason
asciilifeform: to reformulate -- is it possible to create an intrinsically nonrandomaccess 'slow tape'.
asciilifeform: if you can do that, you've definitionally departed from my #2
mircea_popescu: no, it just means i copied it, thro9ugh the exact process you used to create the two in the first place.
asciilifeform: ( in the case of a typical recording medium -- all at once )
asciilifeform: 'make 3 and 4' means you got it to shit bits at > the specified rate.
mircea_popescu: you make otp 1 and 2, and send 2 to china. i take 2 and make 3 and 4, pass off 3 as 2 and keep 4.
asciilifeform: i dun see why unrewindable. 'can't speed up' means enemy has nothing to rewind.
mircea_popescu: that's two mutually exclusive demands in one package.
asciilifeform: all you need is a physical process that is 1) repeatable, in that you can birth a matched pair of'em 2) cannot be substantially sped up
asciilifeform: i.e. an otp that is intrinsically safe to transport.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. can you make a matched pair of otp such that 1) output is cryptoentropic 2) can only leave the device at particular baud rate , no matter what is done to it ? )
asciilifeform: evidently came to 0.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Walkthrough - Battery - Visual ...: <http://www.visualwalkthroughs.com/splintercell/chaostheory/battery/battery.htm>; Longues-sur-Mer battery - Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longues-sur-Mer_battery>; Swerdmurd - Chaos Battery - Listen on Deezer: <http://www.deezer.com/us/track/110016552>
asciilifeform: '... Thus it should also be possible to construct, for example, a chaos-battery. Such work is in progress. '
asciilifeform: hm could've sworn there was an entire thread...
asciilifeform: i actually considered own variant of this for 'chemical rng' , but realized that it is screamingly impractical
asciilifeform: half cells. With an increasing load the phase shift between the two half cells decreases (i.e. both oscillations tend to synchronize), consequently the amplitude of the alternating current decreases while the amplitudes of the individual BZ-oscillators remain unaffected. '
asciilifeform: 'We built a true alternating current (a.c.) battery that periodically reverses value and sign of its electromotive force (e.m.f.). This a.c. battery is an electrochemical concentration cell that consists of two coupled half cells in which identical oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reactions take place isothermally at 28.0°. The homogeneous BZ oscillations are phase shifted in order to create a potential difference between both
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in very other olds, asciilifeform bites at his elbows, one of his coffinnotebook ideas, turns out , was in fact made long ago :
mircea_popescu: there must be no depth to the world.
mircea_popescu: the whole ourdemocracy approach is to never see anything but surfaces.
asciilifeform: gotta love the socialistoid bent of such articles : when, e.g., police dispatcher goes down, or self-driving coffins , whatevers, mega-disaster; but microshit's crafted prevention of civilized comp as a class, is business as usual and a-ok
mircea_popescu: and then they wanna argue.
mircea_popescu: "For the first time, there could be such a thing as a national 911 outage. There have now been four in as many years."
mircea_popescu: "There were six hours during the night of April 10, 2014, when the entire population of Washington State had no 911 service." << vorwarts!
trinque: yep, I hold the thing at arm's length
asciilifeform: where there is 1 cockroach, there is 11.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was because i said @ you
trinque: switch to trilema buffer, boom! weechat crash.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 16:26 trinque: midnightmagic: when you gather all this proof and various washington posts are still running articles about hoaxatoshi (or the next), might ask yourself why.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1720283 << no, that's ok, he'll just come here now and again and say some words, it's all good. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-22 16:59 mircea_popescu: the point is not without merit, though. ~all the competent, at artisan level, males, the dudes working leather and metal and wood and whatnot ~competently~ are virtually all 50 yo doods with very much a slave mentality.
mircea_popescu: heck, they make lifetime slaves too, the sort that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1702083 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( they are hired preferentially )
asciilifeform: the ones no longer fit to ( or inclined to ) do wetwork, incidentally, still typically go on to desk federasties of various sorts
asciilifeform: ( and after cashiered from army, goes immediately to work in police , or -- if ambitions -- in fed 'law' enforcements etc )
a111: Logged on 2015-08-19 23:55 mircea_popescu: what, "i'm a boy from tenesee here to die for some fat bitch's right to marry her dog" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this latter type crews, e.g., usg's army, dies for http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-19#1244654 motherland ☝︎
