_popescu, you're using big words to seem important; wealth? long term? what are those?
BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> btw, that "we are vary silbert for your loss" is like so pregnant with meme. barry the sorry sorbet sillybert! << AHA!

_vulpes the substantial weakness segwit adds to bitcoin chain security is that witout it, one needs the power to unwind the chain AND the keys of old txn to steal bitcoin. whereas with it, one only needs the hash power, as anyone can spend the segwit shit.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben
_vulpes and block depth. if you make segwit tx a to me at height 1 and i put it into a normal tx at block 2, i can spend it from block 3 as my bitcoin, the segwitnmess is gone out of it. to steal it from me, one has to rewind all the way to block 1 again. which is possible, but expensive as the chain builds.

_vulpes: Who knows how much your language could sharpen if you consistently wrote Qntra for 34 months?

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-10#1696875 << it is conceivable you can reuse prb blockchains, if you care. not that there's anything wrong with rechecking the chain if oyu're in no hurry. expect a coupla months tho. and i suppose look into eatblock etc while at it.

_popescu: if you have such a narrow premise ("is there or is there not a terragram of gold at so and so coords") experimental falsification is trivial, and not even expensive in contex. the bitch is forming the premise in the first place.

_vulpes gold / other heavy metals are sorta fluorescent, let's say, in X-ray illumination. leaving aside that even amateur beach comber fare on sale for the cost of a lawn mower can see large chunks at 20-30 meters (that's 10 floors or so).

_popescu: The cmake in Debian/Ubuntu repositories used to have that pthread bug, first time I built a trb with `V` that happened. << i don't remember ever having this issue fwiw
hanbot: mircea
_popescu : i seem to remember a period in which the .ro line went that you were "illegal", yeah.

_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));

_popescu: "Oakley is among a growing number of educators who view intermediate algebra as an obstacle to students obtaining their credentials — particularly in fields that require no higher level math skills." << teh confusion of ideas ffs.

_popescu: in other lulz : obviously there's a "foundation" and a "code of conduct" (the usgistani nonsense copy/pasted) and a freenode chan, why not. ~600 accounts logged in (specifically :
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yDU6G/?raw=true ) , ZERO anyone has to say at all whatsoever. most are related to matrix.org, which is a pile of nonsensical lulz which you're more than welcome to try and make sense of by yourself. in any case, it's an "

_popescu: anyway, let it be said that there's nothing wrong with oaep as far as we know, but for the sake of argument a mpfhf based padding scheme would conceivably work like this : 1. given message m, of length l, generate r = random bits, of length l' up to l but not less than 256 bits. 2. compose m' = r + m + c (in that order), where c is l - l` (and its bitness is always same as the bitness of len(m')-256). 3. compose Pm = R + S +

_popescu: The operation succeeded.

_popescu: to encrypt : take plaintext message M, no longer than 250 bytes, and zero-pad it to 250 bytes. take pile of random bits R 250 bytes long. calculate X = M xor R. calculate Y = R xor MPFHF(X) set for R.len = 250 bytes. RSA the 500 byte pile of X || Y. done. to decrypt : de-RSA the 500 byte pile. cut it in two halves. calculate R = Y xor X. calculate M as X xor R. done.

_popescu: asciilifeform understand this bit of GT : the knowledge of all the things you don't know thereby constructs a sybil of you.

_popescu: the herd is lazy, the aparatchicks are scared, and the intelligent are lost in the soup, interacting with cattle and criminals as if they were people.

_popescu: but afaik keccak isn't that fix-space-able either.

_popescu like, ticket? it was camping, mostly

_popescu i wanted to give a talk about non-existence dependencies at SHA 2017 and it was rejected with “provide a 5min lightning talk on problem instead”. problem: 5min are enough to understand the problem, not why you are having it or what follows from it.
erlehmann: mircea
_popescu one person hallucinated having seen the elusive djb redo c code that ultimately did not exist. another person was a release manager and made sure the problem does not exist. a third person wrote a cmake thingy longer than my own redo implementation. a freebsd developer confirmed the problem exists.
erlehmann: mircea
_popescu in a way, it does. no?

_popescu: i suspect steemit is a sort of how did they call that alt-disqus/alt-github "let us steal your content" thing ?

_popescu: xor the bytes ?
PeterL: mircea
_popescu: but encrypting the r to one key and the r xor m to a second key, so you end up with two rsa-key-length segments

_popescu:
https://www.ti89.com/cryptotut/rsa3.htm << very handy rsa tutorial in that it uses base 10 and alphabet-indexing for letters. so one can actually rsa by hand and get a good model of what's going on.
erlehmann: mircea
_popescu it feels like work. i had that experience a few minutes ago, when i explained to a rando on the train the concept of non-existence dependencies.
PeterL: mircea
_popescu suggested instead using a checksum

_popescu: so you are telling me that m ^ e ^ d mod n always has an integer solution for randomly chosen parameters.

_popescu: if l is less than 256, then l' = 256?

_popescu linking to a pdf, what is the world coming to!?

edivad: mircea
_popescu: because the universal plan for wealth makes some great guidelines, but then since every situation is different, I'm trying to understand if there is a better approach for who hasn't already a job and is studying

_popescu: but see, that's not at all the point. for one thing : all scholarship is nonsense. for the other, soviet school si entirely propaganda, which is to say "prepare organ donors for a certain way of life". the fucking point of the fixed form 3rd/4th grade composition is to allow the submarginal intellects making up the bulk of the population to tattoo their brains into a form that'll then allow them to survive, as traffic agents
BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> asciilifeform like in any field, you piece together the bit reports of people in the know, pondered by their context. doesn't take an expert analyst to figure out briots were convenient cover for underground resettlement. << Lafond says this as well plus moving product into town
