mircea_popescu: mod6 ah. well... negotiable insturment, you know. everyone values it as he values it. there's not exactly a dearth of offerings - notably the reward to prove qmail is buggy was 500. knuth's rewards are a dollar and change., etc
mircea_popescu: in the EP? general scheme of true cryptography, otp occupies a peculiar spot, equivalent to rsa's use of multiplication, where otp uses "multiplication modulo 1" or "multiplication in the binary group" for a º function
mircea_popescu: mod6> i don't think a billion units is lulzy at all. << what is this re ?
mircea_popescu: so for everyone watching : s.nsa will be doing double month report next month ; s.mpoe will be filing later today.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if nothing else, the tiny ammt of publicity we've been doing around it pisses people off. so...
mircea_popescu: as we agreed, cramer-shoup with shared key is acceptable symmetric cipher.
mircea_popescu: any time any kid grows some balls, ars is longa, well lubed and awaits.
mircea_popescu: it DOES decide whether ~anyone~ is a cryptographer or not, however.
mircea_popescu: whether workable cipher materializes or not does not decide if mp is mp.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, whores and miners are abundant and i couldn't care less.
mircea_popescu: someone WANTS to be a cryptographer, THAT SOMEONE better be a cryptographer.
mircea_popescu: the world owes you nothing. now go die, in any manner you choose for yourself.
mircea_popescu: there's no way to extrinsically motivate astrologers to become astronomers.
mircea_popescu: explain the requirement, offer fame and a little fortune. that's the only one path.
mircea_popescu: i can inspect other boeings that were made, including by the people that trained you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is a difference between making a boeing for pay and making a cipher for pay.
mircea_popescu: i don't need "experts" and "universities" to tell me 1800 state of the art.
mircea_popescu: so - if "cryptologists" can not produce what i ask of them - their wives, to the brothel, they themselves to the mines, for fraud.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: POINT BEING that in order to justify his oats, horse better pull cart more than donkey.
mircea_popescu: which... i dun recall the last time i used a message longer
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> otp. << if the key is 64kb, technically otp would work fine for message up to 64kb.
mircea_popescu: "if you make the list of places, and cross out the places where you woujldn't want to be seen, the result is the list of cool places"
mircea_popescu: you have to understand cool is a political concept, much like "declase" in french salon world of 1800.
mircea_popescu: then again i suppose there's some middle aged lawyers somewhere that remember the days facebook was really cool.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i remember the days, back when the mothers of the current crop of internet kids were still sucking cock on public grounds, that slashdot was really cool.
mircea_popescu: they decided that the true reason (tm) must be workfunction-something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform finding threads for events after the event is a fun sort of historical game. nevertheless, the events are the events.
mircea_popescu: dude wasn't slashdot supposed to be made out of informed people and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: derp #2 : Nothing. The guy is just a fool who believes that bigger block size is better. He's a very obvious sufferer of the Dunning Kruger effect [wikipedia.org]
mircea_popescu: ake this postining). Even the NSA trusts AES enough to certify it for use protecting top secret information."
mircea_popescu: derp #1 : "What is wrong with existing block ciphers like AES? AES has been in widespread use for over a decade and to the best of my knowledge, there is still no practical attack on it (unless someone has built a working quantum computer and not told anyone about it). Its totally free of patents and IP issues. Its been implemented in a huge variety of hardware and software (including the Intel CPU that I am using to m
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well... i suppose if you find prior art re moore's law ima buy slashdot and redirect it to logs.
mircea_popescu: i wish to see place where person in position of management/responsibility makes decision and publicly backs it by plain statement that moore law's a delusion.
mircea_popescu: apparently i'm "self exiled to argentina" because i'm fucking local now. apparently my slaves are "whores" because hey, "it's unfair" or whatever.
mircea_popescu: there's all this constant "oh i know why this person that's better than me did what he did, let me tell you!" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is "breakinjg down" about me telling some random farmer at political rally why he can't have living wage ?
mircea_popescu: I think I know what (s)he is talking about - it's similar to this one
https://vimeo.com/7125141 [vimeo.com] , and involves MP breaking down in the face of confrontation. Not necessarily crying per se, but he acts like a kid who has been told he can't go out and play until he eats his broccoli. Might even be the same event, but this video was put out by MP and is edited to make MP look good, at least in his own eyes. <<
mircea_popescu: and it is routine for rapists to kill their victims, in same anglo world. what of it ?
mircea_popescu: and now my dear friends, ima be off to send keys over wires. bbl.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if the 100k is a salary, 100 years of that buys you a house where your job is. you denying this ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: from same person, five minutes later, "Wait. 'Uses a 64 kbyte key' - is he mad? Does he realize the trouble he will have to go through when he has to transport over a network, or do a key agreement on, keys of that size?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "- He says current block ciphers suck. Why? It doesn't really become clear from the discussion, which seems to be between two people who have heard a little bit about cryptography, and are trying to outdo each other in what little knowledge they have."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course you can get the exact same also free, but then again that requires "skill".
mircea_popescu: you can buy the same results from google for ~ 1-300 bucks, and seeing how slashdot has 15 items per first page and apparently a new set daily, the upper bound of its productive value would then be somewhere between 45000 and say 100k per month.
mircea_popescu: 19ish to 14ish let's say, about 19 hours. the net value of being a majorily contested news item on slashdot first page is ~3500 unique visitors, ~4500 pages read for an average of 1.28 (or in practice, using the 1% rule, ~3 people read the news item and left, ~300 people read 3-4 pages each and may be back).
mircea_popescu: o look at that, bb's story still on slashdot first page.
mircea_popescu: this is all coincidence and has exactly nothing to do with mp, of course.
mircea_popescu: after mp said fu, EVERYONE said moore's law is no more.
