mircea_popescu: there's no real concept of "online" i can form in my mind. for instance, am i online when i'm not online ? i do read
the logs... in what sense am i not online ?
PeterL: but
then I was
thinking maybe we wouldn't want
that anyway
mircea_popescu: yes, but it ruins
the security of
the scheme, as i don't expect you will be sending pings
to ips associated with bogus keys ?
PeterL: sort of a "who is online right now"
thing
PeterL: the idea being
that you could keep
track of who is getting your messages
PeterL: actually, I was going
to put in a ping but
then didn't get around
to it yet
mircea_popescu: true.
the obvious advantage of patching is
that it makes it easier for readers of code
to review deltas. but
then again, rebasing makes it easier for writer, less shit
to maintain. balancing act.
PeterL: didn't sign anything yet, nothing
to patch off of
PeterL: I will review
that again
PeterL: hrm, when you get it it prints
the
time recieved and who from,
then prints
the message
that was sent "time, who, message"
mircea_popescu: PeterL you really don't give a shit. whatever
the message is, you
truncate it
to 220 or what was it and send.
mircea_popescu: wtf, ever got a card in
the mail, "this card was received at 3:55 pm" penciled in by sender ?
PeterL: well, I guess I should put in something, I guess your nick can't be longer
than
the message size or
there would be no room for any message
mircea_popescu: PeterL also
there's specifically no allowance for "time"
to be
transferred. receiving station
timestamps with its own
time.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you have a max nick size now ? it is a bad idea
to specify protocol semantics at
transport level. let me sign my lines whichever way i want, not care about it.
PeterL: well, it is not unpadded, it uses
the random byte string as
the pad
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, afair
the
threshold for ultrasound biodetectable effects (in rats) was 180db or so.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you can't use unpadded rsa. it du nwork
that way.
PeterL: I just put in
the crc32 as a checksum
mircea_popescu: ~only known use for item comes from
the 90s, have nympho
take a seat on overturned woofer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall back when
the various uss self-destroyers got equipped with "LRAD" for great bezzles ? 90s fad.
mircea_popescu: "we're running out of oil, letr's find fun
things
to do with electricity"
mircea_popescu: all
this wunderwaffen is just like
the railgun, if you recall
that discussion.
mircea_popescu: such as : epochal switch on cuba! it... didn't survive his
term.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the kenyan's legacy is one of
the lulziest lulzfests in lulzhistory. so, he came
to power on a mandate
to close down gitmo, which he didn't do, and
to roll back bush era power grabs which he didn't do. instead of doing what he promised he decided
to do other
things!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this works better in
theory
than in practice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ?
though it was israeli iirc, and worked irl abou as well as
the recently reported stink bombs.
mircea_popescu: shinohai maybe russian hackers did it.
they messed with cuba's sound.dll
mircea_popescu: maybe
they got cancer from listening
to ustardian daytime
tv.
shinohai just assumed
the "acoustical attack" was having American pop music piped
through
the PA system ....
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the entire capacity of cuba's electricity network is what, 8 MW or so ?
mircea_popescu: not
to mention, of course,
that everyone in
the area can also hear it,
there's nothing mysterious about it. yes
there are ways
to carry sound over inaudible ultrasound as a modulation, but guess what ?
that
takes even more energy! a lot more, in fact.
mircea_popescu: of course,
the acoustic energy saturation dampens with distance (by
the cube) and with obstacles.
the jet needs something
to
the
tune of 100 MW
to
take off, and all
this buys you at close range and in open air is bleeding from
the ears, not magical symptoms such as bruises, concussions or other mysteries.
mircea_popescu: for comparison, a 100 gram
tennisball capable of giving a pretty girl a nasty bruise would be going sa 100 km/h and
thereby hit for .1 * (100/3.6)^2/2 ~= 40 J over its 0.001 cubic metre space, ie about 40
times more
than
the jet's "acoustic attack". a 8-gram 9mm round perfectly capable of making a whole new hole hits for 0.008 * 300 ^ 2 / 2 = 360 J over its 20 * 2*4.5*pi = 5.65 * 10^-7 volume, ie about 650`000
times
the jet's
mircea_popescu: for
the record : a decibel is
the log10 of
the ratio between a measured sound energy density and 10^-12 J/m^3. consequently
the energy of sound at 150 decibels (such as
the sonic blast of a jet
taking off at 25m, capable of rupturing eardrums) corresponds
to an energy density of 10 ^ (150/10) * 10 ^ -12 = 1000 J/m^3.
mircea_popescu: "acoustic attacks", really. because why, we don't know how
to calculate
the energy carried by a wave of specified frequency, or anything whatsoever about flow in fluids, and so on.

to students obtaining
their credentials — particularly in fields
that require no higher level math skills." <<
teh confusion of ideas ffs.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, amusingly enough, soros' long standing
tax evasion conviction or any mention of his decades on
the lam have somehow entirely disappeared from all usg's wikipedias. NEVER OCCURED!!!
mircea_popescu: possibly
the largest end product of
the whole mechanical orange revolutions effort of rice's dept of state.
mircea_popescu: mostly used
to launder "leaks" in
the vein of "russian hackers" would have obtained had
the leaks pointed
the other way.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-09 22:47 mircea_popescu: in other lulz : obviously
there's a "foundation" and a "code of conduct" (the usgistani nonsense copy/pasted) and a freenode chan, why not. ~600 accounts logged in (specifically :
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yDU6G/?raw=true ) , ZERO anyone has
to say at all whatsoever. most are related
to matrix.org, which is a pile of nonsensical lulz which you're more
than welcome
to
try and make sense of by yourself. in any case, it's an "
mircea_popescu: oh and speaking of
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-09#1696188 and faux ngos :
the "organized crime and corruption reporting project", owned by a maryland state dept offshoot, is
this "github for retarded euro-orks willing
to journalism for free in furtherance of us "anti-corruption" anti-sovereignity agenda'.

the
time i started figuring out
the socioeconomic part of
the question it was a year
too late (they started
tightening
the screws some
time before putin came
to power, which was not so much
the beginning but
the announcement of
the done deal. i remember '99
the situation of a lot of people changed drastically.)
mircea_popescu: (nemtsov, recently assassinated, was, of course,
the guy putin beat for
to
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-21#1687959, yeltsin's chosen successor. ah what a great party it'd have been, for
teh pantsuits. clinton forever, herdemocracy herp derp...
then gore lost
to bush, nemtsov lost
to putin, nyc lost
to gravity, sads sads sads.)
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly,
that actually
translates "incompetent" in english, which is
the right word. "without
the ability of entering contracts".
mircea_popescu: because otherwise what
the hell, it's not a lease it's a girlfriendizing contract.
mircea_popescu: still. every lease i ever saw/signed had fixed
term for leasor at will clause for leaser.
mircea_popescu: "i'll just dump
these remains in your back yard,
throw
them out whenever you're sick of
them" is not what a lease says.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mno. church can ordain whatever
the fuck it pleases ; but a lease is not at-will wtf is
the point even.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, some dude drove over a half dozen french whatever
they are, soldiers-polizei.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck does
the church "decide
to
terminate
the family's lease"
mircea_popescu: no wtf
there.
the wtf is more in
the line of "check him out, he wants
to use a computer without
the if key"
mircea_popescu: well, at least it was painless
to check
the code, all of 30 seconda
mircea_popescu: well, you do
the whole polynomioal
thing right ? if exponent is 1101 you do 3 out of 4 squares
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but you don't have
to use
the crap parts.
the idea itself is sound, further reduces any montgomery reduction.,
mircea_popescu: basically, you precompute conveniently chosen powers of 2, and
then you get rid of most of
the product larger
than
mircea_popescu: i am now very suspicious you can't ever have a good solution, in
the sense
that if you find it... you'll have found a fine reason not
to need it anymore.
mircea_popescu: i know
that face glaring back at me. it is
the face of unyielding fucking doom.
mircea_popescu: heh.
the graph of a ^ x mod b looks eheheheheeexactly like
the riemann functions / unit covering shenanigans.
