mircea_popescu: "A totalitarian society which succeeded in perpetuating itself would probably set up a schizophrenic system of thought, in which the laws of common sense held good in everyday life and in certain exact sciences, but could be disregarded by the politician, the historian, and the sociologist."
mircea_popescu: you know, they speak casually of how the bitches they know're gonna introduce the new ones. except... all this is a work of feverish imagination.
mircea_popescu: "The reappearance of HELEN'S BABIES, in its day one of the most popular books in the world–within the British Empire alone it was pirated by twenty different publishing firms, the author receiving a total profit of £40 from a sale of some hundreds of thousands or millions of copies–will ring a bell in any literate person over thirty-five."

mircea_popescu: and if youy for some incomprehensible reason MUST use a hybrid scheme, use the following : 1. generate random 4096 hash ; 2. cut your message up into N chunks of size up to 2048 ; 3. xor the chunks with 1; encrypt each chunk via rsa
mircea_popescu: yes. but none of these actually requires a hybrid scheme
mircea_popescu: (and i maintain that in all context hybrid encryption is retarde dwithout exception. either fuck or get off the woman.)
mircea_popescu: i wasn't at any point contemplating "rsa encryption = rsa run once over the message herp"
mircea_popescu: no. rsa encryption = a succession of individually encrypted blocks.
mircea_popescu: make the damned thing match throughout. bapg = 4096 rsa, 4096 hash, etc.
mircea_popescu: actually. is there a 4096 bit hash function of any merit ?
mircea_popescu: phf yeah it's not actually as bad as it seemed on the basis of the snippet. still crud.
mircea_popescu: you "have" a horse. your dad bought youy it, except you may not ride it. what "have" ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: your notion that hitler's ahead of the curve is spurious.
mircea_popescu: i lived my entire life cloaked in a shadow of "nobody saw him coming". i like it.
mircea_popescu: how does "not clear what bitcoin is" beat "bitcoin is IT" ?
mircea_popescu: hitler had reports re the fucking wtc bombings on his own desk.
mircea_popescu: it is ACTUALLY preferable for teh republic that whether rsa is or is not np-complete is not known.
mircea_popescu: if anyone had the proof, i'd ask them to not publish it, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: the field of unknown unknowns always favours the people against the state.
mircea_popescu: the holy grail is this situation where nothing's demonstrated at all.
mircea_popescu: "it was already announced by some researches without a name in a paper without a back copy"
mircea_popescu: look, im not going to give back the major advantage of asym crypto keys just because nsa sponsored implementation and useful rms-ian idiots made a mess of things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do not ask me "how". this question is pointedly forbidden in this context.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform either you make me an infinitely rigid girder or i don;'t want anything to do with you.
mircea_popescu: no dude, spare me. either this problem is solved or woirked on.
