Topic for ##crypto set by hlieberman at Fri Jan 20 11:28:52 2017
Framedragger: asciilifeform: when i said "might not even be worthless" i actually meant it in
the sense
that i observe chatter
there and it's not all ~noise (but very small sample, and no
time
to read backlog
there).
then again, sure markov bots etc
mircea_popescu: pretty much all
that grows on
the fertile soil of
the red skin's plain is potatoe.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of
these obscure clutches in us subculture. elvis and his colonel, warhol and his hanger ons,
the beatles + yoko ono + etc, waters divine and
the whol;e baltimore gang,
the algonquin long
table, on it goes.
trinque: check it out; he learned
the splitting
Framedragger: usg sybils deliberately working
to blackhole asciilifeform's emails!
Framedragger: btw
there are like 770 people sitting and
talking on ##crypto, it might not even be 100% hopeless, curious if
they would respond well
to FUCKGOATS advertising
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (see a,a novel and
the whole joyce-warhol "dialogue" also)
Framedragger: yeah in retrospect should have left
that one be
mircea_popescu: it'd have been high brow snark had
the reference somehow worked ; but i couldn't unearth one
that'd so work. "last us philosopher was
this irish novelist"
phf: i
thought
that was some kind of high brow snark
Framedragger: s/james joyce/william james/ ^ BingoBoingo i mixed up my english,
too
trinque: "no, I just want
to kill everyone I see"
mircea_popescu: inb4 us medical profession wakes up
to
the sad fact
that
the raise in autism has nothing
to do with ~organic~ causes.
the kids just don't like
the environment any, opt out.
☟︎ trinque: it's probably a better life
to have
the mind filled with
the words of
the intelligent, but silence is preferable
to
the neurotic babble
trinque: sure, and was doing mostly
that, prowling about in nature, with free
time
mircea_popescu: samuel clemens not random pick, he did
these ad hoc speeches over dinner etc.
trinque spent months years ago not
talking
to a soul except as needed at work
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hey,
the (at
the
time, 1917s, 1867s etc) noted anti-intellectualism of usians yielded ~something~.
trinque: and
turn everyone into
tribal idiots
trinque: seems
to be what
the whole anglosphere did
to itself
trinque: see: hood chicago for extreme case of "kill anything
that rises higher
than
this line"
mircea_popescu: the last
time us citizen actually said something in public
that wasn't marketing-derivative might have been before mark
twain was born.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jerry seinfeld cropped his ad-hoc speech
to "mr and mrs ross" from something called "The wrath of khan", which was what ? space-soap opera, ie extended kitchen detergent sales copy.
mircea_popescu: you may
think eg pete_dushenski is a little strange for desiring nothing other
than you know, making a new website where
to retell fuckgoats shop page "in his own words". but who does anything else, on
that sad continent ? where ? when ?
mircea_popescu: does
there exist a substantial us conversation BESIDES regurgitation / repackaging of marketing content ?
trinque: elliot did a lot of
this, regurgitation of bad marketing, like most of his reading involved cereal boxes and ends of infomercials
mircea_popescu: graduated from "i can make website"
to "excel support"
to "windows
troubleshooting"
to eventually "powershell" and "put it in my card reader and used Win32DiskImager
to
take a full clone of
the card."
mircea_popescu: the windows "computer expert" generally got hired as an intern by some usg."corporation" and specialiuzed in
the workplace.
mircea_popescu: and
they all did
the same
things -- worked in "anti virus" for a spell, are very much into "virtualization", etc.
trinque: after several
threads with mircea_popescu re: language I look for
that kind of
thing everywhere
mircea_popescu: there's a large pile of
these, by
the way, windows "computer experts".
mircea_popescu: windows idiots are quite
the fucking problem aren't
they.
mircea_popescu: "I really, really like
the fact
that Microsoft has embraced Linux in
the form of releasing Ubuntu on Windows." "Keep
the operating system up
to date. If Windows 10 rebooting on you is so inconvenient, you're a lost cause--the most recent update lets you defer up
to a month by
the way." << same source.
phf: rather
than "omg, i want
this
to be variable sized in my next progy!!1"
phf: rather

this
to be variable sized in my next progy!!1"
phf: asciilifeform: question lets me understand moving parts better, rather
than specifics
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 22:06 asciilifeform: sooooooo in other nyooz here's a small preview of
things
to come:
mircea_popescu: you want me
to read and understand 500 lines of ada "sneak preview" in real
time ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on
this btw,
the way i want
tmsr-rsa key generation
to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in
tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever
tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));
phf: can you have multiple different sized (obviously non-compatible) bignums in
the same system?
mircea_popescu: "we perceive
that
there's significant differential between
the illiterate
tards we are
targetting and
the people capable of following
this ~blogger's~ (you know, as if
that's somehow derrogatory) article."
phf: and all
the bignums are
the same size? judging by
the fact
that you're walking
the bigits with
the same index?
phf: i don't
think it's masochism, it's very much in
the knuthlamportdijkstra
tradition of
things, but yeah,
typically you would ask cpu with asm if
there was an overflow
mircea_popescu: somehow
that ilona alexis mendelbaum character managed
to not put
tits up, either, which is
the most scandalous part of
the whole affair.
phf: so
the formula gives you a carry mask, but you only care if
the highest bit carried, in which case
there's overflow
phf: i
take it and/or/not are bitwise in ada?
mircea_popescu: it'd be like bitcoin going ever higher in
terms of fiatcoin.
mircea_popescu: which is why
the correct approach is
to make
the general population poorer.
mircea_popescu: i should point out
that
the primary driver of all
these ridiculous "products" is
the utter illiteracy of
the general population.
mircea_popescu: the whole "bitcoin unlimited"
thing was a chinese dorks pet project.,
