mircea_popescu: that day,
there was a bird doing
the ~exact
thing outside, we
thought nothing of.
mircea_popescu: and in other "omfg biodiversitiers" : my power alarm has
this very strident,
two sharp note bee-bop noise
mircea_popescu: at another
time, mp lived in a place where july/dec diff was maybe 2 degrees
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: don't
those
things have internal actuators?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-03 17:11 mircea_popescu: fine
temperature control.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you know what
that does
to your insurance incidentally ?
mircea_popescu: never saw a way
to make
them work for you know, 10
to 20lb sizes.
mircea_popescu: afaik
the only actual implementation oif
this
that ~works is in morgue.
they are side of beef sized drawers, and rather expensive.
ben_vulpes: not refrigerate
the drawers
themselves
mircea_popescu has spent some cycl;es optimizing restaurant kitchen of all
things
ben_vulpes: well, figured
the drawers would slide into and out of a refrigerated cabinet
ben_vulpes: could vinyl slides and drip
trays but
the complexity begins
to mount
mircea_popescu: then if you insulate
them
they grow
to where
the chicks gotta work
them in
teams...
mircea_popescu: and as moisutre in
the environment cools, it either rusts on
them or else outright freezes
ben_vulpes: oh, as water comes out of
the air, pressure drops and makes opening
the
thing impossible?
ben_vulpes files
this away with
the refrigerated drawers for
the Someday Kitchen
ben_vulpes: odds
that i'll ever buy a fancy brand new stove are pretty low anyways
ben_vulpes: pidbox is like 13 bucks on ebay with
thermocouple included
ben_vulpes: you know i was just
thinking about wiring pids into my electrical unit for precision control!
shinohai likes
the convection properties of electric ovens
ben_vulpes: i always figured
the electrical stove was just another shitanium knockoff of
The Real
Thing; in what ways is it so much better
than gas?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-02 00:32 mircea_popescu: chicks love
teh electric stove
tho.
mircea_popescu: but go ahead and compute
that "possible" into something ?
mircea_popescu: it is similarily possible for last bit of xor otp
to flip only last bit of r.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which,
this was
to be my next step, once ben_vulpes done profiling : impl a reverser, see
the impact of bitwise altered S on end result.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's also
the precursory
to proof of its strenght :
to reverse a 64kb msg hash you need
to intuit 1mb of data.
mircea_popescu: i'm not 100% on it, but my own napkins seem
to indicate.
mircea_popescu: and
this should, at least
to my superficial mind, work as rsa padding.
mircea_popescu: no. if you have message M, and compute a fhf on it, and give out
the M, you used fhf as a hash. if you give out both H and S, you used fhf as a "bit convertor" or w/e,
the original M can be extracted, with sweat.
mircea_popescu: if you have
the end S of a hashing, you can reconstruct M from H.
mircea_popescu: the idea was
that you need
them
together. maybe concat, i guess.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 01:10 asciilifeform: say i want
to encipher (dun matter with what) a string, 'To: mircea_popescu Subj:
thermonuke launch codes ...'
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 01:02 asciilifeform: incidentally, since (to borrow
the lament of
turing's school headmaster) 'the room already stinks of mathematics', i'll share a
tidbit
that i promised folx some half year ago and promptly forgot:
mircea_popescu: a lot of interesting questions for
the
thinking man in our age.
mircea_popescu: in fact
the whole game of life
thing was exploratory in
that direction.
mircea_popescu: point being,
this isn't a valid objection. any work will
take a
truck, and any computing will
take custom hardware.
mircea_popescu: good for you. now you can't use it
to do 5k hashes parallel.
mircea_popescu: i'm just hoping S is over 1mb for
the 64kb/2kb item and yay.
mircea_popescu: it pushes in 1st stage "well, select some criteria you REALLY care about
then" and after
that it's "wel lthis ball of warts does
that, so fuck you with it"
mircea_popescu: this can't be a
thing "i want a bunch of substantially different items
that are all identical
to
the best performing one in any arbitrarily chosen criteria"
mircea_popescu: in
taking hours it is doing EXACTLY what we wanted it
to do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't have a computationally infeasible algo
that's also easy
to compute!
mircea_popescu: rebase. now you know why yo uhave
to -- nobody's waiting for your 500 long
tree.
mircea_popescu: 6 months is no less
than 500 patches. what
tree is 500 patches long ?
