mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no need to include the exponent. if ppl don't know what exponent to use for a certain modulus, let them find out. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: and if it's not important enough to push a valid key through the cracks of the sybil wall, i guess it wasn't actually important enough.
asciilifeform: and you're welcome to hash on own end, 'in harem'. just don't refer to my key as its hash, it is unseemly
asciilifeform: and it doesn't matter what you make it out of.
davout: furthermore, i disagree with http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-27#1590896 in that the hash function doesn't have to be a "single" hash function, let user specify, or even put multiple fingerprints ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't take 32 chars you don't belong here.
trinque: deedbot doesn't use keyservers no, so it didn't know he updated his key
asciilifeform: tho i suspect somebody hasn't updated his spamatron since 2010 or so
mircea_popescu: this is like "free hubcaps!!!". if i can buy a car i don't need anyone's hubcaps wtf.
trinque: graph of folks that didn't get the news over time
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 16:51 mircea_popescu: the (very indian) chef of great local place actually came out of kitchen to see these two people who were eating all the stuff i rodered ; but couldn't summon the courage to more than bow from a distance and scurry off.
mircea_popescu: i can't recall now if this was the same chich some elements in the { ben_vulpes , davout } set might've fucked at some later point.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 16:50 trinque: then two women at table wail "oh he didn't shake our hands"
mircea_popescu: tell them it doesn't count untill they kiss the dancer's slit.
trinque: wasn't my place; kicked myself out with one of their bottles
mircea_popescu: trinque why ? didn;'t take ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, wouldn't usually be room fulla chicks, unless in some narrow cases. generally the way this works is usualyl 2, rarely 1 if the men are poor or 3 if the men are showoffs, whores and however many men can stand each other, usually 8 +- 3
mircea_popescu: the wheel turned as well as ever ... but the car... it didn't move.
mircea_popescu: can't meaningfully interact with a dog, let alone their wife, let alone you know, chtulhu from the depths of the abyss.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem isn't creators, that romania has. the problem is romania itself, as dumbly impermeable as fresh clay.
mircea_popescu: i don't care dimitrie cantemir's writings were "under flag of moldavia" or "Wallachia" or "greater kekistan"
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't make a difference.
asciilifeform: iirc in mircea_popescu's piece just the other day was 'caragiale didn't need no stinking flag'
mircea_popescu: as a result, the victorious revolutionaries found themselves in '45 in a dubious situation : they had absolutely no political legitimacy. outside of mihai, who was mentally incompetent then as now, but whose two aunts were very willing to sell out ; and sanatescu, who didn't think much of them (for cause), they had ~no one in bucharest.
mircea_popescu: the reason specifically they did that had nothing to do with hating the romanians or thinking they suck (which they didn't, on the contrary, germans even had german troops under romanian command) was that general sanatescu gave out the whole order of battle + everything else to the russians.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd carol was very much a redditard. he quit to pursue his whoring interests, leaving the congenitally retarded mihai "on the throne". this is through and through power vacuum. eventually he returned, and tried to be a sort of local mussolini, tho it didn't so much catch.
mircea_popescu: the switch happened because the original carol didn't have children. which happened because "marriage", dumbest fucking shit ever. but we digress.
asciilifeform: well su naturally didn't happen in ro until post ww2 yea
davout: wouldn't it self-sustain after a while?
mircea_popescu: yes, but do teh math! doesn't get compressed ~enough~.
mircea_popescu: because why, thermodynamics is your friend and suddenly corpse isn't ~= water soaked aerogel ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, the per-kg energetic cost of incineration is > 1MJ. this means 100 tons cost you over 100 GJ, or in fuel terms about a ton of gasoline. you can't be spending 1% by mass ffs.
mircea_popescu: "i wouldn't live on a place where reddit bags aren't visible from shore"
shinohai: (Though doesn't have to be Single-Screw steamship)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't want to feed the fishes too much at a time.
cruciform: yea, couldn't find him in the WoT
BingoBoingo: With the Harveywood scandal, pantsuit can't afford to not have all the entertainers in line.
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> BingoBoingo what lyrics might those be, 'we shall overcum'? << Nah shit like "Look what you made me do" and the word "Rise", which apparently blond white folks aren't allowed to use
mircea_popescu: (nansen was a grandiosely misfortunate norwegian that eminently didn't get to the north pole TWICE, nearly died each time)
asciilifeform: nao otoh you don't necessarily need all 160
asciilifeform: so imho it isn't necessarily the case that your station even has to give a shit re atmosphere.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 20:29 asciilifeform: ( i wouldn't put it past'em to 'technical glitch' and turn off bbc for a few min. to get you to up your wattage, say )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733673 << might lead the british "nuclear submarine"/crock of shit to discover it couldn't actually launch even if it wanted to. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 19:17 apeloyee: the enemy doesn't realistically have resource to stand next to everyone. see bitcoin: can't make rewriting history impossible, lets make it unprofitable.
asciilifeform: wasn't meant to be 'kept in attics gathering dust', but simply low duty cycle - as in, e.g., 1ms per hour
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733558 << this is a maintenance nightmare. the fundamental reason girls get married off is that it's much more efficient to maintain a station that works rather than to maintain a station that doesn't work. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it isn't so difficult for ignoramus to wreck an ordinary auto, either
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is why it wasn't done. they literally cannot afford even one simple piece of correct soft.
mircea_popescu: no you don't, you have a truck alternator on a shitty nissan.
mircea_popescu: i don't want that crap. i want a unit the size of washing machine.
mircea_popescu: btw, why the fuck don't there exist wheel-dynamos ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733464 << i still don't follow how you figure the approach elides some primes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: this is the fate of all 'we don't have an ideology' derps ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: the scihub thing isn't even sure what it wants to be , 13337 w4r3z, or 'service'
mircea_popescu: or whatever, if they don't feel like it, like eg ben_vulpes doesn't for his paste service, let them not to
asciilifeform: i.e. generator of nth prime in O(1) time. nobody's got one and i don't expect anyone will.
asciilifeform: but there are still occasional folx who seem to think 'But They Wouldn't...'
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( i wouldn't put it past'em to 'technical glitch' and turn off bbc for a few min. to get you to up your wattage, say ) << They do it to comcast
asciilifeform: ( i wouldn't put it past'em to 'technical glitch' and turn off bbc for a few min. to get you to up your wattage, say ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a thing until it isn't
apeloyee: 'maximize # of bits that can be sent before you gotta move' << this mostly involves choice of locality. "check if the map matches the locality. If it doesn't - change the locality."(R)(C)
apeloyee: understand, they can't keep sieges on 10,000 вредителей. will go bankrupt.
apeloyee: most of the processing is local << if a known вредитель, that means siege. otherwise they need to exchange ~approx as much data as can be fit in spectrum. obv can't reuse the very same spectrum. hence lasers/sound/cables. can be sabotaged. them low noise receiver must cost quite some $$$.
apeloyee: if you can't even plant a relay somewhere nearby
apeloyee: the enemy doesn't realistically have resource to stand next to everyone. see bitcoin: can't make rewriting history impossible, lets make it unprofitable. ☟︎
apeloyee: so don't
apeloyee: don't pop up above noise floor, because bit-per-chance-of-detection drops off rapidly
apeloyee: again, I have no data, but I suspect you won't be able to encode much data into it
apeloyee: Do you have any data as to how distinguishable defective motors are? e.g. it's probably an impulse filtered with a min-phase filter. whereas fake motor probably won't be.
apeloyee: didn't you describe a scheme for 1 transmitter? in each time interval, pick many cryptographically pseudo-random orthogonal waveforms, calculate a weighted sum, transmit. the weights encode information. can split into many transmitters in various places.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: how do you modulate-by-position if you don't have more than 1 position ?
asciilifeform: not the crt per se, but that apeloyee's algo doesn't leak-via-timing, or bias, or avoid some class of prime, is not (yet) obvious to asciilifeform .
apeloyee: well, is CRT nonwell, of cource I can't clain that CRT is obvious. But I think you're just allergic to it
apeloyee: I still haven't heard how it will get you nailed.
apeloyee: I don't.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 21:48 apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721485 << alternatively, can *construct* numbers which don't have very small factors. pick a nonzero remainder mod 2, mod 3, ... mod largest-prime-fit-in-your-primorial and find what number of primorial is congruent to it using chinese remainder theorem
asciilifeform: incidentally it can probably be shown that you don't have to throw out ALL of the bits in a candidate R, when it is not found to be prime, and still not leak anything
apeloyee: you don't believe in CRT?
apeloyee: can't. I was sarcastic, because I don't see how CRT construction can amplify, assuming not obviously broken/backdoored RNG. why won't long-range correlations kill mthe "pick random prime" method as well?

apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733338 << per bernstein, they didn't. ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'This could even be a deliberate weakness with plausible deniability: "Oh, sorry, nobody warned us that 2 mod 11 was okay and 10 mod 11 wasn't."'

diana_coman: hmm, I suppose I could run a trial test on a batch of generated public exponents with co-prime rather than strict prime requirements, to see what small factors are there but not sure if this will say a lot really in itself; fwiw I don't feel particularly comfortable with the idea of a non-prime public exponent but I don't have mathematical proof for weakness introduced, hence my question
mircea_popescu: answer't.
asciilifeform: as described on trilema and elsewhere, usd ain't money, it's 'money[*]', and the * typically includes 'cannot be spend on defense from usg'
mircea_popescu: idjits don't know when to open fire, keep waiting for "a better day".
shinohai: I'm just happy to know mircea_popescu isn't building a new kind of stable.
ben_vulpes: a zillionth of a percent in interest if we don't sieze everything on a whim
TomServo: Being rid of systemd isn't so hard.. but dbus is quite a bitch.
shinohai: Don't insult teh Fuhrer http://archive.is/Oathw
mircea_popescu: i can't say i've had the experience. but... sounds like they're trying to overperform to impress ? not a bad trait it itself.
BingoBoingo: Peru's a no go. Only independent "datacenters" advertising as such there aren't in the colo business. They are in the Pinoy spam for Espanol speakers business
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-05#1733062 << dood, nevermind charters and bs. a) you still haven't published ~a report~. and it's the 5th. b) http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-03#1651459 ! and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-14#1714557 !! ☝︎☝︎☝︎
trinque: didn't say anything other than I don't do anything without a reason
jurov: Lastly, as an appeal to any trace of ocd present, links to individual deeds are relative already, and i don't see why the difference.
asciilifeform: i haven't even heard of either party prior.
danielpbarron: !~later tell BingoBoingo i don't think your wotpaste url was correct. can you resend?
