asciilifeform: after all answr is a 3 (decimal) digit
asciilifeform: ( seems to take'em coupla dozen shots )
asciilifeform: ... it is also possible that they threw in random ints and got lucky, the machine log does not rule out this hypothesis
asciilifeform: maybe i'ma swap it for 1 of those 'solve this here triple integral' puzzlers that some ru forum use nao
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875120 gambit still not 'final solution' to spamola -- i now get 1-2 turds in mod queue erry day. ( hats off, i guess, to the spammers who know how to xor 2 small ints.. )☝︎
asciilifeform: clearly a market for spiked rear bumpers!111
asciilifeform: btw a very good chunk of the present-day cad monopoly biz is powered by tech written by bolix escapees. i tracked some of'em down ( and no they dun answer my mail... ) , they built the current cad houses.☟︎
asciilifeform: and -- will point out -- ran on the 3600 series boxen, where 4MB was 'princely' ram, and 2MHz was cpu clock.
asciilifeform: ( and it did both chips AND pcb AND motherfucking signal simulations !! )
asciilifeform: that very 'ns' which amberglint cracked, and on which 'ivory' was baked, was 20k loc !!
asciilifeform: MUCH easier to write on top of a sane os, with sane raster graphics stack etc, than on anyffing we presently have.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cad is 1 of the open problems for which a bolix clone would be +9000 mechanical lever.
asciilifeform: ( observe that even FG i had to design on a warez cad, after wasting ~months~ on trying 'open sores' variants; but at least it was much lighter-weight / non-winblowz item. still had to be cracked, & run on a 'toilet'. )
asciilifeform: ue of making 'small' (e.g. FG) items, to date.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877242 << fwiw 'cadence' has ~monopoly not only on ic cad, but on 'heavy industrial' pcb cad, for 16+ layers mobo etc. i actually one time tried to use it, warez , winblowz box, & all, it was monstrously gnarly, loathesome. but if yer making sumthing with 100,000s of netlist nodes, dozens of pcb layers, ball grid ics with 1,000s of balls, yer more or less stuck with it. i've avoided strictly by virt☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: he doesn't actually need to live next door to the rack
asciilifeform: last i recall, being tortured by heathen 'state' is +9000 martyrdom points ( but then again i might be out of date ? )
asciilifeform: sad if troo. eventually they'll not only pick the lot of you up, but you'll sit with 'bad conscience' ( why , exactly ? in ru old believers sat for decades in prisons with 100% clear consciences )
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: can you move'em ? jim jones somehow managed, lol
asciilifeform: i thought church was wherever 3 believers sat under 1 roof
asciilifeform: i'm here cuz i'ma pauper. why are you in the reich danielpbarron ?
asciilifeform: incidentally, danielpbarron , iirc yer a money man, wtf are you still doing parked in the reich ??
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they dun bother going to foreign rack, normally, if it suffices to pick up 'evil mastermind' who conveniently sits in the reich
asciilifeform: will depend on your taste / risk tolerance
asciilifeform: i dun expect this is a q having a straight mathematical answer
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: yer on a computer, errything is at least slightly buffered. problem with 'here's a year worth of rng' is 1) somebody gets to it 2) what when you run through ?
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu described a similar scheme a few yrs ago
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: seems like in that case you dun need any rng at all
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877236 << not my reading. there was plenty of interesting, original work , it was fatwa'd in late '70s by brezhnev's bean counters, who did not see the problem with 'copy DEC and use foreign soft, better cheaper faster' etc☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: if you stored rng, and somebody gets a peek...
