copypaste: mircea_popescu: yes already stale

assbot: Logged on 10-02-2016 14:21:31; mircea_popescu: funny how this entire fucking discussion is about how everyone there would really need want and desperately aspires to be in #b-a.
adlai: mircea_popescu: i hope you didn't let that feeling show!
kakobrekla: adlai, mircea_popescu , can you sit on it ?

asciilifeform: btw what was mircea_popescu speaking of there
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 13:52:37; mircea_popescu: anyway, the winds have pointedly turned against apple. the time when they did that "we'll brick your device if you used other parts in it" thing i'd arbitrarily pick as the jumping the shark moment. but in any case : apple is for the next decade a company to sell, not to hold and CERTAINLY not to buy.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that it isn't a cryptoscheme ?
asciilifeform: just like mircea_popescu, to help folks working on a historic and unsolved mathematical problem by replacing with unfathomly harder one, l0l

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: deny the enemy the known structure, when possible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now that i think about it, it is elementary
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's point re: orcs is well-illustrated in the mega-compendium. observe how the crackpots who can barely string coherent words together, actually sit closer to the dirty truth than the 'educated' folk
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wrote to blaze.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 23:53:09; mircea_popescu: uh. i had no idea sat is solved now ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider inviting him here ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to be clear, i'm discussing the 'turtle' paper
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah, you found it before ?
asciilifeform: anyway mircea_popescu , m. blaze's 'turtle' is, afaik, the only ~claimed~ provably-hard block cipher (non-otp) that i was able to track down.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.crypto.com/papers/turtle.pdf << slightly less retarded
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't see what is so hot about the composition thing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja ever read feynman's original paper on the subj ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: atomic bullet!1111
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the latter is demonstrably false
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which is why i'd rather not live and die solely by the discrete log problem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was trying to figure out if it is separable from his use of the diffie hellman decision problem as the basis for the system
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu i was looking at generalizing the 'oracle' resistance from cramer-shoup to other systems
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 15:10:58; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes next month's s.mg filing might clarify.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: specifically in that it does not have uniform levels
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in that case yes.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 14:57:13; mircea_popescu: PeterL> or am I totally confused? << a patch can only be safely applied to its antecedent. two patches at the same level CAN NOT be both applied by definition.
asciilifeform: i see mircea_popescu's point here
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nothing at all. this feature isn't even interesting.
