mircea_popescu: he can't be an "actually"
thing because "actually"
thing is given by participation in
the official scheme
to certify
the reality of
the delusions of
the people
that would want!

that many of
the
titles bear a striking resemblance
to each other. "Adaptive Mesh Analysis" reads one and "An Adaptive Algorithm for Mesh Analysis" reads another. Dividing
the
total remaining by
the average number of repetitions halves
the list again. Mozart disappears before your very eyes.'
mircea_popescu: you are only a REAL soviet if you spend your
time wit hthe pravda and at
the parades/meetings etc.
mircea_popescu: admire
the union mentality. "this woman is really hot, all
the men want her" "yes but does she show up regularly at
the female equality club ^H^H^H^H^H church ?"
mircea_popescu: there is little better
to do with one's
time
than mockfully
torture
The People Who Would Want.
mircea_popescu: dude,
the redditards should make a bitcoin academia. with stolfi, katz and bogawan what's his face.
mircea_popescu: "The CRYPTO community's
typesetting abilities are not spared, nor is Oded Goldreich's spelling." ahaha.
mircea_popescu: use
the old one
to certify
the new one in all instances you care about, sign a dead key notice with
the old one, drop it in
the sea.
PeterL: what is proper way
to obsolete old keys?
mircea_popescu: besides, it'll
teach you how
to correctly obsolete keys so you don't need
them
to expire anymore.
mircea_popescu: make a proper new key an' obsolete
the old one for safeties.
mircea_popescu: had an entire "point still stands"
thing prepared, but i guess not needed now!
mircea_popescu was looking for
the easy "no, one was born a year after
the other died", but neway.
mircea_popescu: to answer
the original q : i am vaguely familiar a bunch of different such schemes were entertained by people with varying degrees of competence.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a woman anywhere
they waited
to
take
turns on,
they never waited on each other
to return books
to library, nothing, vacuum ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
take
the first
thing
that came
to my eyes. so dedekind and fourier are ENTIRELY separate nodes ? you swear
to
this ?
punkman: PeterL, why does
that sig look so short?
mircea_popescu: in
this sense
there was no literacy pre books, either.
this is not a property of
the world.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
there is not a single unified 'playing field', no. what
there is, is a
torch carried by maybe 3-5 people at a
time. ever.
mircea_popescu: well, a copywriter who found himself locked in a "math
teaching" job, like
that girl in my class i recounted
the story of.
mircea_popescu: "The foregoing assertion is based on
the realization
that cryptography is focused on adversarial behavior"
mircea_popescu: in general,
there isn't one. in
the rare cases when human genius couples with dilligence and creates a SINGLE playing field,
the pissants are unaware - generally deliberately.
mircea_popescu: your very cosmic idea of
the world is inadequate in my eyes. nobody said
that
there is ONE playing field, and if
there were one,
that
the pissants'd see it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag but
the pissants have NOTHING
TO DO with honest community either way.
mircea_popescu: the exact phrase, "in general X and in y especially so X" has been in use since at least
the late middle ages.
mircea_popescu: "x is
the largest number, and in particular y is larger
than x!"
mircea_popescu: " In general, we believe
that rigorous analysis is, by far,
the best way
to study reality. Moreover, in
the case of cryptography,
this general principle is more important
than in any other discipline." <<< check out mathematiphilosophician, discovered an inequality!
mircea_popescu: me of
the fundamental philosophical flaws
that underly
the said article and some of its misconceptions regarding
theoretical research in Cryptography in
the last quarter of a century."
mircea_popescu: "This essay relates
to a recent article of Koblitz & Menezes (Cryptology ePrint Report 2004/152)
that ``criticizes several
typical `provable security' results'' and argues
that
the ``theorem-proof paradigm of
theoretical mathematics is often of limited relevance''
to cryptography. Although it should be obvious
that
these claims are utterly wrong, we undertake articulating
this
triviality. In particular, we point out so
mircea_popescu: "Actually, mathematics does have a "fast publication cycle" alternative -- which is
to put papers on
the arXiv.
This works very well in practice, and in fact a morning ritual of most research mathematicians is
to browse
the arXiv mailing form
the night before in his/her area. After a few months in
the arXiv, hopefully generating some useful comments and criticisms,
the paper would finally be submitted
to a journal. " <
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
thanks for
those sweet, sweet delicious butthurt
tears. made my morn.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker - euler figured out how
to sum integers
to infinity while he was a
teen. where
the fuck is YOUR early work
that you can incremental upon
mircea_popescu: 2. As someone pointed out in a comment from My Biased Coin blog, is "incremental results" such a bad
thing for
the advancement of science
that one has
to "criticize" in
the manner
that Koblitz did? As far as I can
tell,
the great Euler published quite a few "incremental results.""
mircea_popescu: "1. My conjecture: all scientific areas do have
the "incremental results" problem. Does any one have any data supporting
the hypothesis
that CS (or
TCS) has a higher percentage of "incremental results" published in respectable journals/conferences? If not, Koblitz' criticism is only as valid as "there are few women in CS," which
though correct is hardly CS' own problem.
mircea_popescu: "Anonymous7:04 PM, August 31, 2007
The minute
TCS becomes
the mature mathematical discipline
that you are dreaming of, I am out of
the game." << and guess where anon works.
thestringpuller: "Here are several reasons you should stop using RSA and switch
to elliptic curve software:"
mircea_popescu: prepare for a fucking wave of
that as an entire construction of circular shiteating is getting unwound.
mircea_popescu: As promised, I have written a letter of complaint
to
the editors of
the Notices. I don't know if it will get published (it is also a bit long), but it is available here (pdf) or here (ps) "
mircea_popescu: For
this reason, I
thought publication of his article in
the Notices of
the AMS was inexcusable. Even worse,
this latest incarnation of his essay goes beyond being a mere "academic" argument and degenerates
to name-calling and belittlement of an entire field and all
the people who work in it. (And it seems pretty clear
that his feelings extend beyond crypto
to CS at large.)
mircea_popescu: ptographer knows
that his arguments are overblown), but I
think it matters greatly when he speaks in front of an "outside" audience.
mircea_popescu: "What really bugs me, however, is how much publicity Koblitz has managed
to get out of
this. I see him invited
to give
talks at many venues, but never see anyone invited
to present a counter-argument. (For
that matter, I don't see invited speakers at cryptography conferences poking fun at
the cryptographic work
that mathematicians do.)
This does not matter so much when Koblitz speaks at a
TCS-venue (any intelligent cry
mircea_popescu: "What really bugs me, however, is how much publicity Koblitz has managed
to get out of
this. "
mats: what 'ends
the game'
PeterL: if I have more
than one key in gpg, is
there a way
to
tell it which one
to use for signing stuff?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
the lawsuit crackpot linked earlier was, imho, pure gold. he was genuinely convinced
that rule-of-law was a
thing! and kept picking, picking at
the cracks in it, utterly mystified
that every single judge 'lost' his papers, etc
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: reminds of
the boondocks: "I was looking for bitches, but
they had
they carpet shit all over
them and I couldn’t see what
they look like. All
that was really exposed was
they eyes. And
that wasn’t enough for me ‘cause you know, shit I’m lookin at
they eyes and
they eyes could be pretty and I
take off
their carpet… and
then I got a
tragedy."
mircea_popescu: something like "if you add
this sort of gravel at 5.45% instead of normal gravel, you have an optimal chance of some of
the cells connecting and powering hte side rail. because no, it's not gravel per se."
mats: ascii_butugychag: as I recall, only a handful died
taking
the hospital
mircea_popescu: not in
the sense of "let's embed current, fragile solar panels into roads", but in
the opposite sense : we're currently creating
this surface out of basically refined scum, which we keep clean all year round. could
there be some shit embedded so at least it powers
the
traffic signals ?
mats: and when woman has
to hump 120lbs up mountain, down, back up again in 24h?
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2016 14:03:13; mircea_popescu: who exactly wants
this ? other
than fucking nsa, of course, as per usual. ("but mr goldstein, you SIGNED
that child porn. whadda ya mean it's an automatic process you don't control.")
mats: in an alternative
timeline
ascii_butugychag: so yes, mats gets
to die gallantly so a butch lesbian can captain a carrier
