mircea_popescu: g a point in case. if she's aspiring to "work for the government" she'll tell you about how unfair it is for blacks, if she aspires to work "for tech" she'll tell you how bad homeless are, if she wants to marry and dependopopotamusize she'll tell you handgun stats, whatever.
mircea_popescu: Mocky "After enough conversations with chicks I found the pattern. They talk the same by race, they act the same they think the same. It’s like NPCs backed by a bored dialog writer wielding a Markov chain." << honestly, i dunno how much time you spent talking with us-born chickies, but the EXACT SAME THING APPLIES. and they even actively work to create such systematic nonsense, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1867831 bein ☝︎
asciilifeform eats buffer, might take a while
mircea_popescu: i ain't about to change the code i have for a theory that might maybe work because the theory behind the code i have might maybe not work according to this drawing.
mircea_popescu: not for his crime of "being smart" and "figuring out the true truth". but for his crime of saying things out of time. because there was a fucking time for this discussion, and it was strictly BEFORE s.mg paid money for people to work their ass off in preference of playing with their kids to get it a serpent.
mircea_popescu: 3. s.mg tried to be the one fucking thing in its line with encrypted comms, for which purpose it attempted to take some guidance and apply it in practice. NOW, after the money's spent, and the work put in, now smartass-architect comes by to explain "how arches really should be" and "why these arches are terrible". this is worse than useless. not a little worse than useless -- much, MUCH worse than useless. all it does is get
mircea_popescu: im not attached to serpent in any way other than in the following sense you're well fucking advised to pay attention to : 1. s.mg is a corporation, meaning ith's here to make money. 2. s.mg is also trying, but as a fucking distant second, to be a "good" corporation, however that is politically defined. it doesn't give a fuck about this, not in any deep sense, if the money's good it'll go against policy, and CHANGE policy as i
asciilifeform: yes you'd need a separate seq counter for rabinism.
mircea_popescu: Mocky a win is me.
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868297 >> congrats, ur the first person to leave a nameless comment on my blog. I may have to update my cgi to complain now ☝︎
mircea_popescu: eulora comms already has a sequence number defined.
asciilifeform: see, rabin dun replace rsa, because of the 4-roots headache; but given as you kick off the 'session' with a rsagram, the latter can contain a bitstring that gives seq #1 . then it gets incremented and appended to payload of each rabinogram, allowing the 4 roots to be distinguished.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right but it seems to me trivially easy to select among 4 possibles seeing how you know "this is a game packet, gotta have so and so serial and so and so id etc"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho rabin is worth a look.
mircea_popescu: aactually... i guess i should've left that as a comment on the article in q. brb.
mircea_popescu: a skill that'll prove most important in their own fucking country, last i heard all the fuckable women they grew locally they exported
mircea_popescu: "act like a normal nation" aka "don't be a sociopath/psychopath" aka "please recognize incan notions of Holy Mother and Her most reserved role in the playground".
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-11#1860606 << btw mystery solved, once I discovered my window opens: https://imgur.com/a/s8q4SHE ☝︎
asciilifeform: half a bil transistors, and 400mil of'em so that winblowz can boot..
asciilifeform: the 'clothes iron cpu' is a ridiculous thing. esp in lappy
asciilifeform: ( as i understand, was also a shit-test of eltsin, who 'passed', didn't so much as fart )
asciilifeform: all i got is a map , on which serbia not coloured reich black yet, but possibly simple omission.
mircea_popescu: besides, what's a mocky needed for, i got a corp and everytrhing right there
asciilifeform: how come we aint got a serbia Mocky btw.
asciilifeform: kiddo tries to teach genie to be a good sov citizen
asciilifeform: there's a lulzy sov-era comedic tale about this
mircea_popescu: a little boy rubs a found bottle, and asks the genie coming out... what ? what can you ask ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-31 23:04 asciilifeform: ( by a certain mugurel.andreica<at>cs.pub.ro . wonder if spyked et al know the fella )
asciilifeform: ( at one point asciilifeform sat in a peanut gallery in the godforsaken heathen pit where 50+ 'nadias' sat in committee, can prolly even make a guess as to likelies )
mircea_popescu: adn the dog's a psychopath.
mircea_popescu: lmao. that'd be a first.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for yer lulz collection, saw a chix in some public crowd, with shirt 'the future is female'
asciilifeform: there's a famous specimen with a ficus spike in it, peculiar old-school abortion algo, went septic
mircea_popescu: there's also a museum of these in anglolands
asciilifeform: there's a museum of these, in ru
mircea_popescu: same fundamental problem, "hey man, i just derp here, it's just a gig, it's not my life" issues.
mircea_popescu: there was a prior guy just-like, something-thieves
mircea_popescu: the truth is that there's a bunch of reasons people will follow you / come to your house / whatever. and there's this recurrent element of "why can't everyone just get along / this is what we're all doing" sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's literally, "not band practice anymore, now art class". different locker for your shit, but still a) locker and b) some shit. guitars, make-up, whatever. props.
mod6: yeah, exactly. prb is fake-cheese, for losers. can't hack it with the republic, the false choice is thinking that they have an alternative - a loser one at at that. but there really is no alternative. no matter how much you wish it to be REAL cheese, it is not, and never will be.
asciilifeform quite distant from subj of hockey, saw a grand total of 1 game in whole life, so will leave thread alone rather than emitting lulzhowlers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, it's all a big highschool cafeteria party, and one gets to pick and choose "his way in life" etc. it all follows, from the insane perspective, its own insane logic etc.
mod6: If a guy is huge and can skate well, then more options for versitility.
mod6: If a guy is huge, but can't skate, then maybe he has an advantage as a shitty defensemen -- plopping him in front of the net to keep the crease clear.
asciilifeform: iirc there's a 'sumo' component also
mod6: Skill goes up the more you practice and play with people whom are better than you are, ofc. For a old-guy pick up game, can fit in even if not as skilled as most, as long as they're not trying too hard.
mod6: Nothing serious, just a friendly game of 4:4 perhaps.
mod6: Someday, I'd like to get the chance to play in a pick-up game with President Putin.
asciilifeform: e.g. 'I’m just back from a wedding in Calgary. It was a fairly posh affair, if an intimate one befitting the couple’s slightly more mature stage of life. A well-to-do dentist, herself the daughter of an even better-to-do-though-recently-retired dentist, was marrying a charming chap from the Maritimes. It was a slightly exhausting trek with our four-month-old in tow, but in the end so very worth it' etc etc
mod6: asciilifeform: thanks for the extra info there. I did check the two IPs myself too, no worky. I figure, the man has a -10 from Mr. Popescu, and no longer visits this chamber. Ergo, he's ejected.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ok cool, if you don't mind then, I'll probably just do deedbot wallet since it's a bit quicker for me.
asciilifeform: mod6: d00d still lists a 'Public Bitcoin Node(s) 158.69.54.79 188.165.209.181' on his www, the latter dun answer on 8333, the former is some chimera, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-23#1837433 ☝︎
mod6: mircea_popescu: Hi Sir, if I win the auction here, how would you like me to settle? Via btc from deedbot-wallet, or via ECU and trade in eulora (this may take a day or so to exchange my BTC into ECU hope this isn't a big deal).
asciilifeform: 'jurov moved the Foundation website to the Foundation's server hosted at Pizarro' << confirmed that it worx, a++ btw, ty jurov
asciilifeform: seems like there's a roughly 6 mo. lifetime for folx who fall into 'man alone', sorta how there is 6 mo. ramp-up for n00bz
asciilifeform: there's a quite tall pile of pointlessly murdered trees behind ' asciilifeform never brought us a nice symm cipher ! '
asciilifeform: i had an automata thing, but found that i could not in good conscience play it for the prize, i never found any approach to a proof that it dun have ( as mircea_popescu called ) 'kek state'
mircea_popescu: diana_coman http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1867935 << he;'s got a solid point there. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( by a certain mugurel.andreica<at>cs.pub.ro . wonder if spyked et al know the fella ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in detritus from asciilifeform's torture room, 'În această lucrare se prezintă o metodă eficientă de implementare a eliminării Gaussiene pentru o matrice de dimensiuni n·m (m≥n), folosind o arhitectură SIMD ce constă dintr-o matrice de n·m procesoare.' (U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series C, Vol. 71, Iss. 4, 2009)

asciilifeform: it's funny, if only to me -- if author wanted to make the keyspace == 2**256, all he would have had to do is to drop a copy of the 256bit key into the expansion. but i can already picture the fatlogic, 'oh noez, that wouldn't do, will leak key via plaintext cuz not whitened'
asciilifeform: i'm reminded of the chessboards they used to print in sov newspapers. after a good rain.
asciilifeform: these , in a hash output, is.. i lack the words
asciilifeform: it's a matrix of http://www.loper-os.org/pub/serpent/serpent_with_reduction.txt , prepped for gaussian row-reduction ( xor-sat is in p! motherfuckers ) with horiz. axis -- key bitz, vertical -- expansion bits...
asciilifeform: you will want a way to make use of 2+ fg (iirc you already have 2 on ea. machine)
asciilifeform: will note, tho, re fg timeouts -- the most likely waiting-on-fg scenario is starvation, rather than outright hangage , thing shits out 7kB/s per spec, 8 on a good day; i expect it will be the limiting reactant re how many rsa msgs / sec can be produced
asciilifeform: granted i've yet to witness a dead fg. but i dun have a written guarantee from the gods, that they can never die, no
asciilifeform: otherwise the result of a dead/unplugged FG is simply halted box
asciilifeform: diana_coman: rng.adb / Get_Octets -- you'll prolly want a timeout there
diana_coman: I think I do suffer from a bit of C-induced anti-unions bias
asciilifeform: but pointing out for the l0gz, that there's a 'ecologically clean' variant for those.
asciilifeform: ( keep in mind that it will give you all the ones that your ~particular~ gnat supports; but nao that we have the makings of a cemented gnat, this is less of a concern )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there's a gnat flag that actually gives you all permissible constraints, whether you knew about them or not, that can be then thrown straight into restrict.adc
asciilifeform: that way it is possible to write a piece under 1 set of constraints, and then permit it to run in a larger proggy with looser ones
asciilifeform: ada treats any statement that divides by anything other than an immediate constant ( incl. / or mod by a named constant ) as potentially div0-barfing
diana_coman: myeah, type is modular; z_length is a constant though and ugh, not 0 because then you have no state to talk of
asciilifeform: loox like it's a naked modular type right nao
asciilifeform: 'The new Ada code simply reads from a Fuckgoats that it expects to be available at a pre-set path, *already initialised*1 and ready to read from' << ha, nice
asciilifeform: if somehow FG were to catch on with the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866428 crowd, the situation will not differ so much from the current : coupla 100 people will have the genuine article, and 9,999,999 sad folx will have physically-similar item made in hong kong to washington's specs. and i couldn't do a thing about it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: wot + hand-delivery cuts, in a way, this knot. but not practical for konsoomer/heathen iron, sadly.
asciilifeform: currently i'm not even certain that makes sense to ~sell~ a crypto iron; possibly a truly-serious user ~must~ make 'his own' , out of standardized, exhaustively-testable, and -- most importantly -- mix&match-able, components, from a design he has read & understood.
asciilifeform: it's an open problem, and will prolly forever remain, in some sense, open; but afaik the gold standard is still a powered, disturbance-sensitive storage on-die.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-30 19:59 mircea_popescu: though it seems on some level this is a religious behaviour, "very easy to come up with ideas very hard to evaluate them". well... something's defo broken then!
asciilifeform: the problem faced by even fella with a first-class head, when buying 'crypto iron', is a 9000x hypertrophied instance of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867790 boojum -- to know what he's getting, he is stuck with much ~harder~ problem than even original maker had in making the artifact to begin with ! ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a (gedanken-)-faberge.
asciilifeform: so i have nfi how one'd make it a +ev biznis-proposition.
asciilifeform: Mocky: if you're speaking of the 'remanence-free sram' -- think of it as a 1950s-style delay line store, with 1 (on-die) delay line per bit ( and not even necessarily, each can store multiple bits )
a111: Logged on 2017-05-16 01:51 asciilifeform: if i were drawing up such a thing, i'd even have the sram work in such a way that 10 is a 1 on odd clock cycles, 0 on even
asciilifeform: hypothetically, it'd be safe to transport, or even mail; it is impractical to capture,saw open,dump contents,bake a substitute with the copied pad,and deliver to unsuspecting counterparty, inside the space of day or two. esp. if you make the pad live in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-16#1656777 sram, rather than flash . ☝︎
asciilifeform: i.e., ic that when paired with another of its kind, and rng, saves internally the pad; but won't simply disgorge it unless in a synchronous link with the item it was synced with, as described in the algo.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-23 17:54 asciilifeform: the idea being, that nobody lacking a copy of the pad can cause you to wind yours forward.
asciilifeform: meanwhile , in the world of the c-machine, https://archive.is/e5xD9 >> 'curl contains a heap out of buffer read vulnerability... stderr... formats the output to wrap at 80 columns. The wrap logic is however flawed, so if a single word in the message is itself longer than 80 bytes the buffer arithmetic calculates the remainder wrong and will end up reading behind the end of the buffer' etc
diana_coman: mod6, also, re running keccak by itself - have a look at the tests that I provided for it in eucrypt as they work effectively as an "example of running keccak" too
phf: the hash verification is not really necessary, since vpatch does it already, but above changes are drop in (could e.g. switch between vtools and legacy with a flag)
mod6: no huge worries, was just getting prepped to start looking at keccak, and to see if there is a stand-alone binary for keccak
mod6: Ok, nevermind, they don't seem to be. But I just simply pressed the genesis and it barfed on a README file:
mircea_popescu: i suppose the only moral being... "opressed groups are opressed for a fucking reason".
mircea_popescu: the "safety" being, of course, little expectation to run into a "wtf are you on about, you just multiply, what's to understand".
