assbot: The Lordship list, third year. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1V2mc7w )
pete_d_out isn't caught up on logs, isn't sure what nubbins` is referring to.
asciilifeform: phf: nah, that sort of thing needs attention span not available in car
kakobrekla: pete_d_out yeah that phone is garbage
asciilifeform: from many years of this.
asciilifeform: phf: i actually ran out (!) of book tape warez of tolerable quality
phf: i thought cars are typically books-on-tape territory ☟︎
nubbins`: lords care not whether their presence "confuses the noobs"; such reasoning is unfit for discourse
nubbins`: speak now if you believe a lord that has contributed TRB patches, who owns the second-largest s.mg stock warrant, who trades in the only physical collectibles that are priced solely in BTC, who pays the bill for eulora.org, who is the republic's de facto minister of letters awaiting with bated quill the whittling-down of a codebase fit to publish, should be stripped of his title; speak your treason now, that all may witness it. ☟︎☟︎
shinohai: "Damn, we're 1 brick short of finishing this house" "I have a Nokia!"
asciilifeform: american telcos phased out analogue band
nubbins`: as a lord of bitcoin, tmsr~, cognizant of the responsibilities that my words thusly carry, i hereby solemnly rebuke any attempt to strip me of my lordship. ☟︎
kakobrekla likes phones that work as hammers
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: pretty sure these won't even work, where i live, today
asciilifeform: or trains
asciilifeform: pete_d_out clearly does not spend much time stuck in cars
pete_d_out: standing there or sitting there, hunched over with the stupid i-thing 12" in front of your face because it's 'convenient' instead of walking over to desktop or laptop or god forbid waiting until you get home. ~that's~ the killer.
asciilifeform: pete_d_out actually talks ~into~ the thing ?
phf: well, that's not a reason i use mine. i spend so much time on technology, i require explicit and often prolonged periods of disconnect to stay healthy
asciilifeform: worth remembering that the ~original~ (in as far as publicly known) case of pwned phone with always-on mic was a 'dumb'
asciilifeform: while it makes not a lick of difference to usg deathsquad
asciilifeform: fwiw, the 'dumb'/'smart' distinction is a sham
asciilifeform: didja also toy with idea of chewing rusty nails ? ☟︎
pete_d_out: i toyed with the idea of dumbphone mebbe
asciilifeform: pete_d_out: for what did you think.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 13:16:19; asciilifeform: nah thats what ipnohe is for
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 11:39:22; BingoBoingo: Brave camho ventures into the bitcointalk cesspool https://archive.is/64HCm
pete_d_out: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400224 <--> "My body is not something that can be sold. I can sell my time, attention, etc but my body always belongs to me. And I think shame is more your area than mine, otherwise why would you respond to such a non-threatening post with such violence?" ☝︎
mod6: whacha tryin to do?
TomServo: Like trimming the last entry, or checking for consecutive hours?
mod6 has rather enjoyed the crypto discussion in the last number of days.
TomServo: Is there a better way to do this: http://dpaste.com/0V93852 ?
pete_d_out: just another example of you being born too late !
asciilifeform: idk, never went to ~their~ party
asciilifeform: i once turned up at a party full of'em
asciilifeform: (phun phakt: even they are permitted to openly admit to working for nsa)
asciilifeform: iirc the list of folks who work for fbi and dhs is not even classified 'sensitive' (usg legal term, the thing below 'secret')
asciilifeform: all of them
pete_d_out: what kind of silos are these ?
pete_d_out: asciilifeform and chinese grad student mighta had a few hundred contacts even, but tens of thousands ??
pete_d_out: or to quote dr. zhivago, 'it's more just this way'
asciilifeform: (all the way down to visiting chinese grad students)
asciilifeform: pete_d_out: you do know that the lowliest monkey in each usg ministry has access to the microshit 'outlook' phonebook seen in the link, aha ?
pete_d_out: speaking of 'sensitive material', what ever came of that little dispute with your hosting co. over the sipa hit, mircea_popescu ?
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
mircea_popescu: what don't you like about the go above ?
asciilifeform: yes, but to what planet should i go to, to get one ?
mircea_popescu: but getting back to it, the point i want made is that EXP-* inclusion beats NP inclusion.
mircea_popescu: aha. it's exactly the same thing. "unknowable"
asciilifeform: anyway contrary to the other popular notion, this is not why we don't have analogue pc
mircea_popescu: note that position is not quantized.
mircea_popescu: it's not programmable quite to your taste, but it does deal in reals.
asciilifeform: contrary to popular notion, analogue comp does ~not~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you can design hardware that deals in ~reals~ i will take off my hat.
mircea_popescu: again and again we come to the "will need nre hardware" thing
asciilifeform: hey i don't even own an instrument that deals in the reals !11111
mircea_popescu: and know to be harder than p is a more valuable proof for our interest than known to be in np.
mircea_popescu: by which i mean, known to be harder than p. this is proven.
mircea_popescu: or to get back to exponential space problems : "decide first order logic propositions with real numbers, adition and comparison" is a very hard problem. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it is, in point of fact, a TERNARY NUMERIC SYSTEM MATRIX
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform go is convenient tho because so close to a matrix.
asciilifeform: just not done on this planet.
mircea_popescu: and take Stearns-Hartmanis, you know for a fact that all EXPs are actually NOT in P
asciilifeform: which is, now that i think about it, what mircea_popescu prolly meant
asciilifeform: rather than the minimax value !
asciilifeform: supposing 'value' means 'what it means to go player', as in score if the game were declared to end
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is actually a bitch, but by no means np-hard
mircea_popescu: (note that "beating a human" is not equivalent to solving this. if it were...)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think of it : take a matrix, set it to go pieces, calculate the value of the position.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also schneier used to be mostly sane
pete_d_out: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400919 << heh. ok so now i see that this 'news' was already in the logs. but does 'motherboard' actually publish the contact lists ? nah. do i ? you bet. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: iirc all exp- are proven not in P. which is better than what is known for np.
mircea_popescu: take for instance the berman real numbers thing
mircea_popescu: expspace for instance. everyone's fixated on exponential run time
pete_d_out: actually working a "news" piece that i'd give to qntra but i... don't have my keys. so to contravex it goes.
pete_d_out: shinohai even a few weeks early, i'll take it. cheers ;)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he says right there, garey & johnson
mircea_popescu: man fucking schneier is intolerable. i can pick out his lines even without looking at attribution. his entire output comes out of a tiny fucking word grinder.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally ... what about the set of ultra np ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect it goes deeper than that. something something entropy/and/bandwidth
asciilifeform: by using the smaller-unit meatgrinders.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: deny the enemy the known structure, when possible.
asciilifeform: a break in the larger-blocked cipher is likely to rely on known structure
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now that i think about it, it is elementary
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-30 Douglas A. Gwyn: "...I can exhibit the design for a block cipher that is demonstrably secure according to the rules of the game, although it wouldn't be *practical*." << you should write to him, too.
asciilifeform: this 'feels right in my gut' but how to justify this?
mircea_popescu: if you have ciphers A B C with block lengths lA lB lC, then the chaining should be applied in such order that l1 > l2 > l3.
asciilifeform: (and there is still des somewhere?!! where?)
mircea_popescu: and never the other way around.
mircea_popescu: also i should like to propose a lemma : that chaining should always proceed TOWARDS SMALLER BLOCKS
asciilifeform: (at least large portions thereof)
asciilifeform: it helped a little that google 'lost' the dejanews archive
mircea_popescu: anyway. aes and des should be excommunicated out of everything asap, there's no two ways about it.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow the decades passed for no benefit and idiots still pretend like it's never happened. outrageous.
mircea_popescu: apparently all the stuff i proposed as common sense was in point of fact common sense plainly said on public list 20 years ago.
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: which is the case for virtually all symmetric ciphers
mircea_popescu: in case any noobs be wondering why it even is triple-DES : doubleDES(plaintext)=plaintext.
mircea_popescu: and there DOES exist such a technique as mathematical induction
