mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun see how he needs any further spray for any purpose,
the substance's self-discrediting enough.
trinque: just whatever's passed
to
the search page as data
hanbot had
to double-take whether
there was "unilever" printed over a local "pizzalomo" ad on a building
the other day
BingoBoingo: Nah, Bayer pretty much has
to buy Monsanto
hanbot: <BingoBoingo> ^ Qntra Farm Report is back! Eat Moar Monsanto! << is
there anti-monsanto graffiti in
the us, btw? common
theme here. also, "go home obama", from a few months ago.
PeterL: my sister-in-law started leaking after spending a day at
the maternity ward when my daughter was born, she had weaned her kid about a year before
that
mircea_popescu: whatever be
the case. PeterL presumably has a very legitimate need for it, being in
the business of organics.
these schmucks making advanced clays however... not so much.
mircea_popescu: PeterL
they use lots of it, and constantly bitch about how expensive it is
to handle.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-19 17:42 mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it,
the idea of using acetonitrile is very bizarre. much better polar solvents exist ; unless
the remarkably high dielectric constant of
the substance is useful.
mircea_popescu: he read unspecified "central
texts" and references some william buckley. who
the fuck is william buckley ?
turns out, a
tv show host.
mircea_popescu: why do all
these people put so much effort into creating some sort of label/brand/title for
themselves anyway
mircea_popescu: there's now and again cases when actual forces hostile
to usg do
the whole
thing, but when genuine independent research occurs... well.
this.
mircea_popescu: the sad
truth underneath
this all is,
that
the "computer [security] industry" has slowly became dependent on usg-sponsored burnings
to
the degree
that unless weimer and co actually write all
the stuff and put it out,
they can't do it on
their own, in any sort of
timeframe.
mircea_popescu: or maybe dmso was really
too
toxic (that
thing is a riot) and
thf acvtually dissolves borones and so ...
mircea_popescu: so
the boron carbide with xenon filling aerogel production process involves electromagnetics and evaporation. SCIENCE!
mircea_popescu: acetone, barely 20, also rather volatile if not as
toxic.
mircea_popescu: note how
they stand :
thf, massively used, because relatively safe - million
tons produced a year or such. yet, dielectric < 10
BingoBoingo: Or need
that solvent
to get
the exact right contaminants fixed?
mircea_popescu: unless, again,
the dielectric is a major part of what "better" means.
mircea_popescu: yes. but why use
this headache when much better solvents available
mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it,
the idea of using acetonitrile is very bizarre. much better polar solvents exist ; unless
the remarkably high dielectric constant of
the substance is useful.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it,
tyhe usg aspires
to be
tmsr in more ways
than one, huh.
mircea_popescu: i guess
the ustards imagines itself in
the glorified position where all non-orcs are friendly.
mircea_popescu: tey said "wrong hands",
they didn't fucking say "reddit's hands"
mircea_popescu: ie, decent physicist
takes one look at list of possible outputs and picks
the right one.
mircea_popescu: right, and im well persuaded
the current item is just a glorified enigma machine
mircea_popescu: and
then have a physics
team
to sort outputs in order of likelihood and a cs
team
to rebuild
the chip from scratch.
mircea_popescu: i put
this chip on a breadboard, and feed all possible input combinations
to it, note down all
that comes out.
mircea_popescu: sure. so you have a chip,
that
takes say 4 inputs, and generates say 3 outputs.
mircea_popescu: and i'll recover
them
through any of
the numerous cryptanalysis
tricks available.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem is i
take off
that chip and fuzz it.
mircea_popescu: the notion
that you can make a) a physical object
that b) does something and yet c) is safe in hands of adversary is so fucking lulzy.
mircea_popescu: in
that drawing, "modern security features added
to render useless in
the wrong hands" prolly means 1kb rsa with exponent 35, amirite
mircea_popescu: do
the calcs on it beging anywhere close
to a critical core if bored one day. "electron gas" exactly.
mircea_popescu: there,
the official free world reconstruction of "fogbank" : B4C foam with a xe-135 filling.
mircea_popescu looks
through his periodic
table,
that great
tool of war.
