mircea_popescu: and even that aside -- gotta write them, or otherwise vehehery tenuously can say "r foundation". because this is the sorta thing a foundation does, and this one's chartered to do -- outreach.
mircea_popescu: girls don't think what you think they think, not least of all because ~the only fucking reason~ you lie to yourself about thinking that's what girls think is so as to save your lazy ass the effort of ever talking to one.
mircea_popescu: "everyone thinks gavin is the expert", says alf, in 2018. but when in 2015 mp said "fuck gavin", gavin got fucked. everyone thinks ?
mircea_popescu: why not use the methods that ARE PROVEN TO WORK jaysus!
mircea_popescu: check it out, and it prevented the fork, and you... frogot about it ? never used it again ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, if these letters were already on www, the "wtf is this foundation doing" q would not have been needed last week.
mircea_popescu: absolutely. then we can actuallky DISCUSS them, rather than typically non-tmsr-esque "oh, i did something sometime i don't remember what i don't remember when and i didn't follow what happened".
mircea_popescu: because you're all lazy and psychotic, and would rather talk my ear off than go ask a girl out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform entirely their choice to make, copyrwriting or journalism. i dun care. but the choice must be made, by them, and as such.
mircea_popescu: on the topic of bitcoin, 100% of relevant professionals is tmsr. like it or not.
mircea_popescu: there's also publications what'd try and get hold of an acvtual engineer, or doctor, or w/e relevant professional.
mircea_popescu: changes ~nothing, there's publications out there that print bs about how magical doohickeys reduce gasoline usage by cars and shaman x cured cancer and gingivitis.
mircea_popescu: if they don't want an actual pov, and would rather publish content free fluff indefinitely, that is their problem
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, all ideology and blather aside, there simply does not exist anyone with any expertise BESIDES us.
mircea_popescu: mod6 ideally the situation is that they send something to ask, "hey, what about this"
mircea_popescu: if it's good enough to ship to pizarro it's good enough to sell.
mircea_popescu: lmao. oh, the thing that couldn't be done commercially, is now done commercially.
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, did random "bitcoin news" crapola know or didn't know mod6 represents tbf and can be reached foir comment ?
mircea_popescu: nevermind that. interfacing with the ambitious schmucks is the topic here.
mircea_popescu: (have you noticed, btw, back in the days of free !!ups to allcomers, what large proportion of those? "who are you, x ?" "i am x" "but that's nobody" "nevertheless!")
mircea_popescu: these are attention seeking schmucks, not "name in their own mind" morons.
mircea_popescu: this idea whereby we can both a) long endure and b) persistently remain null at outreach on all levels is the stuff of alf's boats.
mircea_popescu: we're europeans, "he did that ? i wonder if i could do it too... check it out i can... guess what, I AM DOING IT FROM NOW ON". and so following.
mircea_popescu: the point of instruct and inform is that it sticks, and it becomes systematic and universal. we're not africans, whereby "oh, the shamans does the electricity thing, we're all safe now from having to do".
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, ~once~. i do such things, the once, to instruct and inform. like say that harvard piece.
mircea_popescu: if not, why not "hello x, I am y, i represent tbf, our position is, i can be reached through k j p q in the future" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: as almost anyone in the republic can well attest, 2 weeks is pretty much the most constrained time can ever get.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo here's a +1 : i return from the beach also! took there, inter alia, girly whom i bought a perfectly see through, 50% of surface holes, inch-over-cunt-if-upright "dress" which i authoritatively declared to be "her bathing suit", last week. and told her she'll have to wear it at the beach. and she fretted over this wearing of this peculiar bathing suit. so today the day came, and she stepped on the beach, and the ne
mircea_popescu: the incredible transparency they got going is actually a very strong selling point
mircea_popescu: anyways, i shall now torture girls @ beach. will read all comments and everything tonite.
mircea_popescu: in ~principle~ eve can't even know what serpent keys either server or client are using.
mircea_popescu: im really only using it as an adhoc crc ; possibly should either get rid of it altogether, or implement a proper ec.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo doh. let's check back with the aghast lonely hearts club when we're discussing how business can keep slaves (ie, them) if they feel like it.
mircea_popescu: the 1 in 6 far exceeds the 1 in 20 or so females worth the fucking in ~anyone's estimation.
mircea_popescu: some clever bits of math permit one to encrypt a message with the use of that 221 so that only he who knows 13 * 17 =221 can ever get it back out.
mircea_popescu: this is especially true the larger the prime numbers become. rsa uses this disparity to produce an undefeatable encryptio scheme. the two prime factors (13, 17) are the private (ie, secret) key. their product (221) is the public key.
mircea_popescu: right. this is then the rsa problem : it is relatively easy to multiply prime numbers ; it is exceedingly difficult to get them back out of the multiplicated soup
mircea_popescu: now, can you tell me the non-trivial prime factors of 221 ? (but without looking anywhere online).
mircea_popescu: alright. can you tell me the prime factors of the number 6 ?
mircea_popescu: nicoleci rsa keys are useless when the key is short. do you understand how rsa works ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile @birdcage, "<nicoleci> im getting so frusterated with these logs <mircea_popescu> yssat ? <nicoleci> i understand every 45th line"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah, no need, by now i mostly suspect my route was bad.
mircea_popescu: in other very sads, the new p.bvulpes machine is VERY fucking slow.
mircea_popescu: ok, so this back of a digital envelope seems to suggest we want : 1. fixed size 1470 byte rsa packets, made to work with 3920-bit rsa (of which i presume the useful message size to be 1872 bit, diana_coman plox to confirm maffs ?). such a packet has then 1696 bits spare for e and bullshit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the thing is -- new accounts handled "as resources permit" anyway, so...
