The
thing about
turds is
they can keep dying forever.

to prove
that a ~particular~ instance of
that problem is not susceptible
to a more efficient pill. << incidentally,
this is
the best argument for SIMPLE (mathematically) ciphers and cryptography generally.
mircea_popescu: when i see
the "s-boxes" and schedules and bs i get
this distinct "technician aspiring
to be engineer" feeling.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: 'Murican Doctor-Lawyer supposed
to not be an idiot or something?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
this person is intellectually unqualified
to participate in any discussion. << Why so surprised.
mircea_popescu: this person is intellectually unqualified
to participate in any discussion.
mircea_popescu: " In another variation on
the
theme, statisticians created
the concept of a “standard deviation” realizing
that samples in a data set may vary considerably."
assbot: Me 22 M with my 23 F 6 month girlfriend, I love her and can't stand
the sight of her. : relationships ... (

BingoBoingo: Maybe Perelman decides he needs some Bitcoin
to
try
the Erdos
thing?
BingoBoingo: I dunno seems like an interesting
time
to put it out
there. Who knows what will wash up?
mircea_popescu: da fuck can i do, freedom and decentralization means people run away with
the
things!
adlai: this block cipher challenge is
too soon, i haven't even finished my BBCC yet
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the story of
the Obeast inducing vomit in a normal person has since been removed from reddit by
the fee-fee police
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> a barony! << Barony
today, Dutchy
tomorrow
mircea_popescu: pity we don't have any nubile young ladies
to offer in marriage as well.
mircea_popescu: "italy" exists in
the sense "the united states" exists. barely if at all.

they wanted
to live in florence, venice etc.
kakobrekla: and where do
they want

the past where all
the cool beans are?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> how many us folk realize

this is what i've been saying re
tmsr for a while nao. finally dawned ?
☟︎ danielpbarron: on a related note,

ascii_butugychag: how many us folk realize
that usa was mega-power in mid-20th ~because~ it was a place where folks like ulam wanted
to live ?
danielpbarron: top left corner is
the number 1 and was pure white
danielpbarron: i made squares of varying widths where each pixel was colored darker for each prime factor it had,
the darkest pixels being powers of 2
danielpbarron: i went
to college for math, even if i did drop out right before actually getting a degree
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2015 14:54:26; asciilifeform: shinohai: 'i heard
that ivan won a car in
the lotto.' 'yes! but not ivan but piotr, not a car but an overcoat, not in lotto but at cards, and not won but lost'
danielpbarron: and i
thought ascii's avatar was an albino fancy rat
danielpbarron: thestringpuller> danielpbarron: you did webdev? << yeah, at my current gig even. Just switched from office
to warehouse
ascii_butugychag: for some reason, i came
to associate him with lisp programming in my head.
ascii_butugychag: the one hitler has, which emerges at
the press of a button, when suction is required ?
thestringpuller: always meant
to ask ascii_butugychag - what is your avatar?
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2016 20:37:03; ascii_butugychag: for a degreed mathematician, or even
talented amateur,
the life choices are generally a) web dev b) usg.
mircea_popescu: as is
the ballet
teacher holding a switch or light cane.
mircea_popescu: "Dear Ms.
Tarzian: Here's another idea I've had: Weight Beaters. Weight Beaters are a method of encouraging participants
to lose weight. A participant who does not lose
the desired number of pounds in a month is beaten up.
This negative feedback can, of course, be combined with more
traditional positive-feedback weight-loss mechanisms."
ascii_butugychag: also will nitpick, not idle, hosting
the #1
trbtron since day 1.
Nicknaem: i'll be back,
this isn't my final form. keep up
the good work.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag speaking of which,
this very expensive rare custom job of a server
that was made
to be a phuctor host is going
to be paid for
the 2nd idle month.
mircea_popescu: sure, but i wish
to hear a bunch of "oh
there's nothing wrong with
tiny block ciphers - bitcoin needs larger blocks!!11"
mircea_popescu: phf could have "yes, exactly" on one side and "right, exactly" on
the other and you could just raise it as appropriate :D
mircea_popescu: more importantly : we've done enough positive work,
to be met by
the imbecile's "oh it never happened, if it did we did it already" as seen most recently in reddit's digestion of
the block
thing ; or in phuctor etc. it's
time we do something inquisitive, and let
the entire world full of fucktards admit
that
they're useless.
phf: mircea_popescu: ok, i don't get it, about
the card printed
ascii_butugychag: yes but what precisely is
the point of a block cipher
that is slower ~and~ bulkier
than abused-rsa.
ascii_butugychag: block ciphers are not actually necessary if we discard
the speed requirement
ascii_butugychag: or, more plausibly,
the last pgptron gave up its smoke after being used in hand-to-hand combat
mircea_popescu: and by "we" i mean you know, actulaly
trained specialists in
teh field.
ascii_butugychag: except
that odoacer III meanwhile broke rsa and collided sha512
mircea_popescu: the unreliability of record being
the chief reason we don;t know history
today
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag actually
the one
trouble for
them is... rebasing :)
ascii_butugychag: even v users will get in
trouble if we get 200 year gap where no v and no perl, etc
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: if
the looms are destroyed in a fire,
there may be no way
to reproduce exactly
the same end product.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag>
the problem is
that no such plans exist for ~anything~ except as part of
the engineering context of
their
time << yet another one of
the problems of not running v.
ascii_butugychag: the problem is
that no such plans exist for ~anything~ except as part of
the engineering context of
their
time
phf: but fogbank stories always seemed like Damascus steal, i.e. very precise and advanced, once discovered and lost, equally hard
to recover. never did i
think
that something like glove coupling can get fogbanked
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller:
this is a very 'hollywood' conception of 'blueprints'
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: yes, saturn V blueprints are on net. lets go
to moon shall we? i have 3 days off coming up.
phf: heard similar stories about sending monkeys
to moon from nasa people, a lot "research" is a large multi-cultural
team
trying
to reverse engineer 1970s suite glove, etc.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> -- because it maxed out in 1960s. << aka "because
they have no practical utility"
