asciilifeform: and i can't fathom why mircea_popescu would.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because anything that can be deterministic, should be.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> can anyone with thebitcoin.foundation privileges plox redirect http://thebitcoin.foundation/src to http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/ thankee << yup, np. will resolve later today.

diana_coman: mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes you know for everyone from europe public school = best school. private school is where people with money send their retarded offspring to keep up the pretense. <- +1 to that; I might add the only exception to this rule I found in northern Italy where "private" meant in fact province (autonomous, German-speaking-and-doing province) funded

assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 13:55:09; mircea_popescu: it's all fine and dandy, makes up the very characteristic weird we've come to love under the label alf, but do not expect it's a consideration (or even meaningful) for anyone else.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400329 << l0l, mircea_popescu must think that my lunch money alone keeps crapple alive ? ☝︎
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yea, my P4 that's overclocked has had the best performance in bootstrapping.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ah
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and you know that public school in america is just daycare.

ben_vulpes: ahaha mircea_popescu yours is funny too!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I believe so. Isn't he the one who did the FPGA thing with BuzzDave and professed to be doing the ASIC thing?
shinohai: mircea_popescu: nope I'll do my best to undercut anyone. pussyfreak can vouch for my Spanish if he comes back, being from Spain and all lol.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 04:30:17; mircea_popescu: so far it'd be a knob connected to not very much. once we have an actually meaningful protocol, then.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo " for it's New Madrid, Missouri smelter " << ty fxd
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu feels like hammering in the point, he could even offer a prize for breaking aes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not so much the result of pitman but of the subject
shinohai: ^ how I imagine mircea_popescu would mine for BTC
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: eatblock is deterministic
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: it takes ~10-20s on a reasonable box, for a full block
thestringpuller: PeterL: mircea_popescu used to
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: actually it would be quite trivial to parallelize, i just haven't the hands presently
ascii_butugychag: ;;later tell mircea_popescu https://github.com/JHUISI/charm/tree/dev/charm/schemes << crypto algo zoo
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 im not even sure we can depend on a notion of "time" for v purposes. << oh yeah 'the last time' is probably a bad choice of words, "the last alteration" or some such.
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 21:23:54; mircea_popescu: then the outline showed up. "the change will be introduced in phases. for the first five years, only trucks and vehicles over 5 tons will switch to driving on right"
ascii_butugychag: anyone recall mircea_popescu's fable about the trucks ?
ascii_butugychag: just that it is unlikely to end up on the desks of the poor 'lone types' mircea_popescu discussed earlier
nubbins`: mircea_popescu alberta has a peculiarity of law where one can walk away from one's mortgage, mail the keys to the bank, & not have any further liability
assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 16:14:35; mircea_popescu: nubbins` my problem is that i really can't stand idiots.
BingoBoingo: #b-a goes through its mostly epicurean stage. nubbins` drinks less, mircea_popescu eats less, BingoBoingo realizes he only binge drinks has to stop entirely
ascii_butugychag: and i think mircea_popescu had an article specially about this
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: it is almost possible to catalogue the cockroaches typically infesting n00b heads - for instance, having a set of 'too big to contemplate' steps, such as junking 'nacl' et al and writing own libs
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: possibly kid imagines that the company of others leads directly to 'militia', and usg stoolies, and straight into jail
nubbins`: mircea_popescu my heart empathetically raced as i imagined the empty pit of despair engulfing him at the moment of re-arrest
ascii_butugychag: and in defense of mircea_popescu , the arithmetical boojum involved was a subtle one, sorta like montyhall
nubbins`: mircea_popescu same place just w/ less computer usage
ascii_butugychag: ;;later tell mircea_popescu do you know of any working implementations of cramer-shoup other than the emacslisp one i linked last week ?
assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 03:00:17; mircea_popescu: phf internet produces necessarily a mixed bag. still, the guy correctly identified a workable airgap scheme on his own, should count for something.
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 03:40:38; mircea_popescu: the people who don't care if they life or die either live or die. the people who do care - end up paying rent to the ones that live.
hanbot: mircea_popescu oic.

maqp: mircea_popescu: I looked at the backlog someone linked me and I wanted to address one thing about TFC using it
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: hurt Naphex' feelings with the camho piece?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yo what happened with xotika?
maqp: mircea_popescu: Didn't see that. CEV was built to distribute trust over multiple cryptographic primitives and designers
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2016 16:42:15; mircea_popescu: funny application of the entire symbols vs words debate, incidentally. was it deliberate ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if you don't show up in the forum, marshall hoplits on demand, are you still a senator?
maqp: mircea_popescu: indeed. I just figured the few extra chars were't that important, and that typing upper/lower case might make it slower. I'll have to look into that
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: dude he has like three
ben_vulpes: http://trilema.com/2015/a-new-lordship-list/ << mircea_popescu did you ever finalize this?

ben_vulpes: remember when mircea_popescu liked to troll people into starting blogs?
ben_vulpes: mod6, mircea_popescu, asciilifeform, phf, punkman: feedback greatly appreciated
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how is it disambiguated from $2, which is the dir input to diff?
ben_vulpes: ^^ asciilifeform, mod6, phf, polarbeard, mircea_popescu: if any of you are willing to explain the inscrawkutable vdiff to my maleducated self i'd be much obliged

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: is this return to copying of loglines instead of referencing the log an attempt to make life easier for the future archaeologists by not polluting the global threadspace?

asciilifeform: and yes, when mircea_popescu wakes up he will no doubt supply us with the mega-insight that if i have no money it is because i have no competence at anything and oughta be boiled for soap asap
asciilifeform: still wanna play ? mircea_popescu can put the 10 in snsa piggy, if he wishes. or we can let the matter rest.
asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu ~think~ would happen here.
asciilifeform: but for some reason mircea_popescu understood why this is lunacy, ~then~, but not now?
asciilifeform: funnily enough, last year there was some derp who shat into mircea_popescu's comment section with 'otp doesn't work because rng might burp out N zeros and then what'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu finds a coin on the sidewalk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is looking at his rng bias.
asciilifeform: all i see is that mircea_popescu won 32 games of coin-toss with himself.
asciilifeform: this is elementary, and if mircea_popescu comes back and tells us that he had been drinking, i will believe him, and happily forget the whole thing.
asciilifeform: the mircea_popescu side of the game can only be won if 1) rng is biased 2) he knows how
asciilifeform: i invite the curious log reader to play the game mircea_popescu proposed with single bits, with a friend
asciilifeform: incidentally, the main reason i'd like a referee, is so that everybody knows that my random 'pads' were generated independently of mircea_popescu's challenge strings.
punkman: mp must guess how many of the 100 ciphertexts are made from the string ""mircea_popescu: long, deeply biased plaintexts are dangerous for otp.""
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has to demonstrate greater-than-chance telepathics
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu generates two files, we're playing coinflipsies
asciilifeform: then we just learn that mircea_popescu can break sha!
punkman: other variant: ascii makes 100 otps, makes 100 plaintexts, X of which are the string "mircea_popescu: long, deeply biased plaintexts are dangerous for otp.", then passes 100 ciphertexts to mp. mp must guess X withing some range.
asciilifeform: 4) mircea_popescu tells me which of the 100 it was.
asciilifeform: 1) mircea_popescu generates 100 files, 1MB (1024^2 byte) in length each. gzips, signs, deedbots.
asciilifeform: it has to be with mircea_popescu generating the magic strings, because this is how he said he will carry out the telepathy - by selecting specially-crafted biased input.
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu want a free 10b or not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the output bits - the lot of them - is necessarily as entropic as my key.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can use whatever alchemy you like...
asciilifeform: so, for this variant of game, algo would be 1) mircea_popescu generates his string set, signs, deedbots; 2) i xor'em, sign, deedbot at first only the signature; 3) i post one of the xor'ed strings 4) he telepathies which one 5) i reveal my hand, which is the tarball in step 2 6) if he wins, i lose 10b, or vice-versa
asciilifeform: if there is one otp key, and it gets used two or more times, with mircea_popescu controlling the input and knowing anything whatsoever about the output, he learns the key trivially.
asciilifeform: the way i read it, the 'if' is whether mircea_popescu can demonstrate convincingly higher than chance guessatronics.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the if
asciilifeform: anyway i will play if experiment is specified such that mircea_popescu has 100:1 or less odds of winning based on pure guessing ('telepathy')
asciilifeform: i will ~happily~ play with mircea_popescu if he insists on betting against arithmetic...
