mircea_popescu: anyway - it's not
that i don't like paper otp, or otp generally. it's
that if
that's
the best you can do, you should have been a clockmaker
mircea_popescu distinctly recalls
the very smoothly polished
travel rod
mircea_popescu: dja understand how
this
thing looked or am i not explaining very well ?
mircea_popescu: wasn't very good in
that it went back and forth over
the distance
mircea_popescu: basically it had a place you placed
the clay fragment in, and a rod which
traveled
the cracked surface.
mircea_popescu: that's not it. it basically was a mechanical device, worked sort-of like
the scytale except on a chunk of a clay item
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally do you recall
that very ingenious
thing
that worked essentially as a vinyl record player needle but on a random chunk of clay pot ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "if
thge best you can come up with is otp - give me back
the cpu and
take
this mechanical gearbox instead"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if i
tell
the woman
to "spend an hour cooking,
this 30 seconds cookings are bs"
this doesn't mean i'm inviting her
to pick her nose for 59.5 minutes.
mircea_popescu: fuck
that stupid shit. if
the computer massaging my 10kb message
takes a minute i couldn't care
the fuck less - it
took me 10 minutes
to get all
the guns arrayed
to make a ml submission.
mircea_popescu: this "make
the block small" and "make
the cipher computable" restraints are EXACTLY wrong.
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2016 23:48:55; mircea_popescu:
there's plenty of interesting constructions in alt-algebras, number and set
theory etc.
mircea_popescu: the idea
that "better box" rather
than "larger blocks" prevents from
that is not unlike
the fundamental idea at
the basis of whitening.
BingoBoingo: Yeah.
Today was dominated by a bunch of
these not quite news
things.
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2016 23:48:55; mircea_popescu: incidentally,
thinking vaguely along
the lines of making a b-a call for papers for symm cypher, what would we actually want ? i'm
thinking a) block sizes of 1, 4, 16, 64 kbytes. none of
that bit-denominated bs, wtf is
this, 64 bits. fuck
that. b) key size of 64kb fixed. c) bonus points for proved hardness, as-hard-as-x etc d) bonus points for not using just basic arithmetics. fuck
this shift-and-xor
BingoBoingo: In other news at
the end of 2016 GE is discontinuing compact flourescent light bulbs. Nothing of value was lost.
jurov: X11 over rs232, now
that's new
to me
BingoBoingo: polarbeard: And after rawtx ported Scheme X11 widget for interacting with shiva over rs-232 would
totes make Gavin all Jelly
punkman: I can send arbitrary number of encrypted bits
to you, no?
punkman: mircea_popescu: stream cypher = particularly braindamaged blockcypher, ie one with a
tiny block << vernam can stream
mircea_popescu: actually polarbeard if you're looking for more backportage stuff
to do ... rawtx
thing.
☟︎☟︎ punkman: but really, just create
the
tx elsewhere
trinque: anybody recommend a way
to import a private key
to
trb?
mircea_popescu: stream cypher = particularly braindamaged blockcypher, ie one with a
tiny block/
mircea_popescu: basically, do everything exactly opposite
to
the "wisdom" of a very inept if deeply self-pompositous field
mircea_popescu: there's plenty of interesting constructions in alt-algebras, number and set
theory etc.

☟︎☟︎ punkman: "New features of Latin dances: Analysis of Salsa, ChaCha, and Rumba." << lol
this
title
punkman: djb's ChaCha is getting pretty popular
these days
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think salsa was djb's own version of shiva, ie, "playing with ; don't use in anger"
punkman: F must be lower
than number of context lines, so F 3 should do
the same as F 1000 in most cases :P
mircea_popescu: punkman i've been
thinking about it
too, seems in point of fact we're mangling
two distinct
things. 1) patches-as-code ; 2) patches-as-human-readable.
punkman: I'm
thinking any diff replacement should do strictly binary diffs, and only include line-oriented context diff as a visual aid
mircea_popescu: <polarbeard>
that's it, I'm patching every .c on my disk
together with F 1000 and compiling it << lmao. STONE SOUP!
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> my intent was
that
the user would include ALL of
the leaves he is interested in by using a custom patch dir, and
then press
to
the last. <<
this is not a bad approach (for dev work). i wouldn't want it in
the press-for-deploy, but different story.
punkman: polarbeard: actually F0 didn't apply offset << it should, if you offset
the code. but it must find
the context verbatim
polarbeard: that's it, I'm patching every .c on my disk
together with F 1000 and compiling it
mod6: meanwhile, I'll work on an automated
test for
this change and work on republishing
this fix as a one change deal. will be v99995
mod6: ok, well, we can worry about
that later when we write our own patch-o-matic
mod6: thats what i gather
too.
ascii_butugychag: go, build arse-mouth system, rack up $1B in
tax, $10M in paypal fee, ahve fun
mod6: ascii_butugychag: hey, can you
take a look at
this? i pressed up
to
the vpatch in
the flow before polars
then.. manually patched with -F 0, but didn't seem
to do anything:
ascii_butugychag: if i dump a credit card into my own 'paypal' input,
they will dutifully
tally it up and 'income'
ascii_butugychag: shinohai:
that article is mega-unsurprising, coinbase is following 'letter of
the law' in usa
thestringpuller: should be mandatory kids learn
to code on
that for at least one project.
ascii_butugychag: jurov: context could,
theoretically, be regenerated from
the file.
jurov: <troll>why include
the context
then? use ed output format or such</troll>
ascii_butugychag: the result of a 'patch' ever not matching
the hash, SHOULD NOT HAPPEN
ascii_butugychag: ~that way~ you will end with a press of
the last makes-sense pressing !
