these papers
that cite subj. i'm sure all
these people have a copy in
their private collection (the one
they referenced when writing!!1),
that
they don't share out of copyright considerations and
the respect for great scientist
a111: Logged on 2017-04-28 23:50 phf: in related lulz Karatsuba and Ofman's "Multiplication of Many-Digital Numbers by Automatic Computers" doesn't seem
to be available anywhere online, but "everyone" seems
to know it somehow
mircea_popescu: in some cases it may be worth it
to do
twice
the work on non-fixed-time algo
than
to actually fixtime
the algo.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-04-28 23:49 asciilifeform: ( best mod exp algo i've found appears
to be 'montgomery's ladder', but i am not convinced
that it can be made fixed-time )
a111: Logged on 2017-04-28 23:31 asciilifeform: 'fortune 500' is approx as interesting as
that other nomenklatura.

the most advanced and secure instant messaging protocol
to date.
This is why
the designers got an award in front of a conference full of seasoned cryptographers and security engineers a week back for improving Real World Cryptography. ' << from
turd in earlier
thread.
that
thing is ~bottomless lulzmine.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649667 << bwahaha. apparently it occurs
to no-one
that by
the
time merit washing requires
them "seasoned cryptographers" and "security researchers" BY
THE ROOMFULL, and anonymously,
the actual value of either symbol isn't very much anymore nor can be.

the Fascist conception is for
the State; and it is for
the individual in so far as he coincides with
the State, which is
the conscience and universal will of man in his historical existence.")
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-29#1649775 << come
to
think of it,
this is rather remarkable a quote, enacting as it is
teh republic as
the ~only antifa available. "for
the individual against
the state and for
the state only inasmuch as it identifies with
the individual"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: you can verify
this sort of anti-property directly every
time someone publishes one of
these bs studies and actually forgets
to scrub all
the data.
mircea_popescu: i bet you
that,
to use your numbers,
the 6"5 cohort in your study composes a lesser section of "the ceos"
than
the 6"4 cohort.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649659 <<
the principal problem with
this "multivariate regression" bs-chasing is
that desirable
traits almost never correlate with marginal
traits. it may be
true
that intelligent (more
to
the point, "successful"-juju) people are ~taller
than~ average population. however,
the outer edges of
tallness will not contain
the outer edges of good-juju, and vice-versa.
to make
the point practical,
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (the principal driver for large penii is female sluttery ;
there is no such
thing as "the naiton of africa" and
there's black or ~black people living from brazil
to india.
there's no homogenity of female sluttery in everyone's history and so...)
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding
the flattering aspects -- my cock is actually quite normal.
the
theory whereby black dudes have huge cocks is ~false.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-28 23:25 asciilifeform: it worx great; done in same clinic where
they paint you black
to lengthen cock
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649658 << no, actually. ~black chick wanted
to know if my penis is really big ; i
told her it's normal. she later saw it and her comment was "oh
that's not normal!!1" (her english is approximative. other girl chuckled at
the implicationz.)

this was
the hope, when usg
tried
to package lsd as an artillery payload. 'ego dissolution'. didn't pan out.

that lifetime psychedelic use (but not lifetime cocaine use or weekly alcohol consumption) positively predicted liberal political views, openness and nature relatedness, and negatively predicted authoritarian political views, after accounting for potential confounding variables. Ego dissolution experienced during a
mircea_popescu: (the foregoing is also, if you're following
the score,
the principal argument of liberals (who, in practice, often end up very radical right wing, individual rights people) against
the death penalty : since it is at least in principle possible
that
the whole
thing was a misunderstanding, it is infinitely better
to put
the guilty in stocks in
the basement
than
to
throw
them from a moving airplane.
the later's reviewable.)
mircea_popescu: it's
true
that
the failure is never (at least
to date) permanent, but
that dun seem dispositive.
mircea_popescu: but
this phenomenon exists whereby girl ends up in
trouble for reasons which, upon later examination,
turn out
to not actually exist.
that
the whole
thing was actually a misunderstanding is proof positive
the entire system fits in no one's head : not in mine, who misunderstood what was going on, not in
the girl;s herself, who, confronted with
the misunderstanding, failed
to identify what
to say
to dispel it.
mircea_popescu: the saving grace is
that
they ~very much do not want
to~ be bad. machines don't care.
mircea_popescu: the whole "don't fuck up or i'll beat you" mechanism exists ~specifically because~
the whole array doesn;t fit in my (or anyone's) head.

the risk of committing a slippery slope / false equivocation / something, orly? is
this not unavoidable sometimes. i do realise "b-b-t muh kernel! is not a good answer
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649528 << it is avoidable as a matter of fact. i have by now built an item
that is
too complex
to fit in my head. i call it $harem for convenience, but it's a set of girls who do
things on
the basis of rules which
they were at some point in
their girly youth illo
tempore been beaten / screamed at for.
☝︎ phf: asciilifeform: i want
to
phf: (about
to hit comm dead zone, be back in an hour or so, but will check log on hpone)
phf: (i'm on
train so might disappear)
phf: asciilifeform: hey, how's overflow supposed
to work in your fz_mul?
mats: made out like a bandit with
those shares, i hope
mats: think he ported linux kernel
to
their chipset but no record of anything else
mats: hpa, paul allen,
too. my impression is he didn't really do anything besides lend his minor celebrity
to
the org
mats: i remember reading about it years after
the fact, 'brightest minds' working on it and so on
mats: why did
transmeta die? it predates my interest in computers
mats: the provided answer was - first
test for Intel CPU with CPUID (so you don't
trigger f00f) and
then for anything GenuineIntel, run it and check for undefined opcode exception
mats: allegedly some non-intel CPUs lied in CPUID, and some had MSRs
to address but others didn't - some bios would set
the MSR bit, and others wouldn't even when it was available
mats: relatedly - a
trivia q i didn't know
the answer
to, until it was shared - what is
the proper way
to
test for support for
the cmpxchg8b instruction?
phf: probably not. unless
there's a djvu archive somewhere of "доклады академии наук ссср"
phf: vaguely related, all

☟︎ phf: philistine
that i am, for a longest
time i
thought karatsuba was japanese..
phf: in related lulz Karatsuba and Ofman's "Multiplication of Many-Digital Numbers by Automatic Computers" doesn't seem
to be available anywhere online, but "everyone" seems
to know it somehow
☟︎ phf: which i
think should be considered a kind of upper bound (this is
the most naive algo, without making it intentionally retarded)
phf: so my very very naive algo
takes 120 seconds
to expt 2345
to 5678
phf: asciilifeform:
thanks for
the ada updates, i was reading knuth's book 3 on arbitrary precision multiplication, so you're 20 steps ahead of me

the #1 entry is gut-bustingly lulzy
to asciilifeform , because i spend ~half year auditing a multilinear-map
thing for $rupturefarm, and even was sent
to a 'conference' where 'serious cryptographers' did not even blink when someone walked in with a proof
that whole
thing was crock of shit
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'fortune 500' is approx as interesting as
that other nomenklatura. << Hey,
thanks
to "Real World" cryptographers you
too can walk
the street wearing privacy invisible pants
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: one wonders what
the attendees were seasoned with. salt ? paprika ? a dash of lemon zest ?
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> or maybe it doesn't depend on
the co.. if 'hired'
then not founder, so... << Fortune 500 usually rides on inertia rather
than continued interest of founder in concern
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: your wisdom of
the streets knows no bounds :p
pete_dushenski: or maybe it doesn't depend on
the co.. if 'hired'
then not founder, so...
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: same clinic also sells 'dubs' for car. lead
to whole 'dub culture' in early 2000s. deuce-deuces!
BingoBoingo: Fortune 500 CEO's are hired
to project appearance of dominance, not actually be dominant
pete_dushenski: anyways, i
thought it was being a ceo
that made one
taller
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
this distinction hasn't been noted within individuals so much as between
them. same as per
this study afaict.
