mircea_popescu: i do. but it is how people are enticed
to read code , and
think about what
they read.
mircea_popescu: it won't get out of it unless and until we start putting it in
things.
mircea_popescu: (and for
the governance-minded log reader : yeah,
the above is literally me in my capacity as ceo making a strategic choice
that puts
the best interest of shareholders second, after
the interest of
the republic. it literally subsidizes republican research at
the expense of s.mg's bottom line. not only is
this common in my practice - i hold it
to be both required and unavoidable, and if "that's not how you'd run a corp" you're
mircea_popescu: afaik nobody
to date deployed keccak on any sort of large scale anything for any purpose over any duration. unless someone else knows ?
mircea_popescu: ie, it'd be silly
to correctly engineer
this system in
the sense of minimalism, as we're more interested in it
testing our
tools.
mircea_popescu: there's also a subtle point here, which is :
that if we indeed use a otp-and-hash scheme,
this in fact puts whatever hash scheme we use
to work.
mircea_popescu: anyway :
the rsa/otp scheme is also bw-wasting, up
to a factor of 2 if no hashing, or otherwise depending on how many hash passes, with 20 it's just 1.05 ie 5% more bw etc.
mircea_popescu: worth checking
this, if you have an actual c implementation anywhere.
mircea_popescu: yeah
there are some advantages. but half second is
too much
to delay a game message for encryption, and you won't be able
to fit
two passes in .5 s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you understand
that if you never hash
them, you might as well not use
them at all and simply rsa
the actual message back and forth. as appealing as
the idea is in
theory, it's not workable in practice because even with a game as relaxed as eulora, it'll still be
too laggy.
mircea_popescu: PeterL reusing an otp straight makes bothering with
the whole scheme kinda pointless ; hashing an old otp
to generate a new otp is perhaps dubious, but in widespread use. (it's more or less what a "deterministic" wallet is, for instance)
PeterL: wasteful
to pass N bytes of otp for each N bytes of message?
PeterL: Anybody else watch olympic opening ceremony?
There was about a minute of fun brazillian dancing and hours of boringness and a stupid
tribute
to global warming. Bleh.
PeterL: would be better
than just reusing
the one otp over a bunch of
times?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-06 14:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's your call, because
the matter is quite acute : is it a safer system
to demand 8kb entropy/second and hash 12
times ? or
to demand say 128bytes/second and hash 768
times ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, gotta make sure one expropriates
the socialists in
the proper manner such is done. ie, as
they
themselves do it.
mircea_popescu: the principle is fundamental
to any such activity.
the usg will obviously still owe on all its obligations, such as social security. it will however not have any right
to perceive any income. and anyone involved is personally responsible - with
their own fat, personally - of
the exact execution of
this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, by
the workings of
that
thing, if you
took out a loan + mortgage
to buy a house ;
the house did go on
to be owned by X, but you kept
the mortgage.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, bucharest scarcely accounted for a fifth of
the country's real estate ; and most of it was shit anyway when compared with
the 3-5 century old stuff in
transylvania.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform judging by
the fact
that 99% of it is bucharest, it's entirely certain
they were picked by personal invidy.
mircea_popescu: perhaps notable for
the device : a)
the ~rights~ without any encumberances of real estate named goes on
to new owner ; b) anyone currently living
there is now renting from new owner, no matter what
title
they
thought
they had ; c) anyone fucking with
this gets 10 years hard labour.
mircea_popescu: they also have a rule about bombing rogue states
that steal $5bn out of people's wealth
to pay cronies.
mircea_popescu: from which we infer shitbags lose and phuctor >
twitter.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : hano bock (the deceitful shitbag) drives slightly less
traffic via his
twitter /
t.co/bcrxVsVoe5
than phuctor does via its faq page.
mircea_popescu: " has definitely been awake since i wrote
to him (he has new material on his site)" << i
took
this
to mean site was ded previously ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm somewhat puzzled
that NOBODY said a single word re new
trilema header.
mircea_popescu: yes, obviously
the sputniks made a plane
that could fly for 1/100
the "cost".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the pretence
that "it's not because we're poor, it's because of
the sandbugs" is ENTIRELY rural belle ego protection and naught else.
mats: yes, i also heard about
the silly string
mats: NCOs would routinely get fucked and have
to cover out of pocket because
the vouchers wouldn't clear fast enough
mats: also endemic problems with
the
travel system and reimbursements
mircea_popescu: ie, "appearance in according
to greater russian code" ? :P
phf: mircea_popescu: various signs of often irreversible degradation, corn rows,
track marks, gaudy
tattoos
mircea_popescu: add in all
the various
tax and "education" easements + medical care etc.
mats: i didn't see a deposit clear until 3 months into
training (good
thing i didn't really need it, had enough cash
to buy running shoes and what not)
mats: some - don't see
them resolved until
they exit service
mats: i am not surprised DFAS is fucked up, i'd guess 1 in 10 soldiers see pay issues during
their enlistment
mats: 'Not even
the ones managed and attented* by ethically* Asian people' << is
this intentional or?
phf: eh, i'm not
too worried about it, i'm playing "spot
the eastern european" game at
the ocean city board walk.
tall check, skinny check, fit check, not surrounded by 4 bros check.
there are some easy matches
though. fat +100
to american. not busted, but with a black guy +100 slav.
phf: sasl doesn't ghost, it renames you, and when you rename back, it asks you
to identify
mircea_popescu: it's literally, "fail" read out by
the wodewick roman guy
trinque: phf: probably better
to just get sasl in
there
trinque: phf: did
the paster eat
those? I have
them
too
phf: trinque: so your bot has a bunch of string matches for
things
that come back from nickserv, but
they are all stripped of special characters. like "nick has been ghosted." what i get back is "^Anick^A has been ghosted." is
that some setting i'm missing? or something else?
mircea_popescu: seems
the us is pretty ripe for giving
the people a voice etc.
mircea_popescu: sooo, is lybia going
to bomb
the us now,
to put obama in a cage, and hang himlater, while "giving a chance
to democracy" in
that country ?
mircea_popescu: funny
thing being, at
the
time i was running a sort of digg (well, much better, but anyway) in romanian, and people could actually cash out, via btc. a few did, not massive sums at
the
time, but massive sums in btc.
shinohai: i always miss
these opportunities
to make easy BTC, i knew
that one xD
ben_vulpes: oh sorry am i distracting from
the fiddy cents of btc bitfinex lost?
ben_vulpes: oh man
the
thing even has a "sign
the papers" moment
a111: Logged on 2016-03-30 22:30 mats: i look forward
to moar attack surface
ben_vulpes: the
thing features stock photos of leo from
the movie and
the obligatory noble j-school ho
mircea_popescu: according
to documents seen by mp,
the guardian publishes anything for a double hamburger.
ben_vulpes: actually greenwald schmeenwald you backed *anyone* who suggested
the use of anything other
than RSA.
ben_vulpes: and you're
the guaaaardian you backed greenwald gtfo
mircea_popescu: aww, you don't
take
the agitprop at face value,
terrorist ?
ben_vulpes: you either bring scans and let
them stand or you bring unsubstantiated claims
ben_vulpes: i don't
take shit on anyone's word anymore
