asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722400 << bernstein's gcd method is neither here nor there, i certainly don't need anything of the kind in ffa, and quite likely it fundamentally does not ffaize ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722397 << i don't see anything that only wants ~lower~ half... whatcha talking about ☝︎
phf: well, it's conveniently two strategies: closed form solutions and constant iterators. if you don't have a closed form solution, you have to iterate, which you simply do at the upper bound constraint by a data type size. i don't see how theoretically it can be anything else
mircea_popescu: or don't i understand "how the world works"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-16 02:57 PeterL: by the way, I stuffed the keccak ada stuff (and, speaking of OAEP, here is one of those too) into https://github.com/PeterMLambert/keccak since I don't have my own server up yet
mircea_popescu: i may opt to include a pubkey. but i don't have to.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect overnighting is the point. what's the point is that there's little difference between a colo you email to and run of the mill "dedicated servers" hosting.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted that i could have it for the same coupla hundy or w/e. heck, apparently they'd even do it for free if we don't make fun of them for it.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, this "your raid needs new hdds hurr" thing is not flying. i don't need to "hire" a "colo" for them to re-do the whole cherryservers bs for me, now do i.
mircea_popescu: i don't even care, sure, if they have their own state courier they're trying to prop up in this way, more power to them, we'll use it.
phf`: mircea_popescu: right, i figured paying is not going to be a problem, either directly with btc or in the format that you've described. finding a reliable colo, getting a number down. unfortunately i don't have a good feel for russian colo space yet, and people i talked to while happy with their colos didn't necessarily have tmsr demands.
mircea_popescu: phf` i don't specifically care what they take ; but whatever it is they take, we'll have to figure out a process.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-06#1721789 << gears grinding. i don't know anyone in beijing, but i've got a line on some folks in chengdu for translation services and building lists of eg datacenters ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really don't see point of buying less than 1 rack.
asciilifeform: in ru of course. but i don't have a phone or post box in ru.
diana_coman: anyways re state of isp affairs I don't see it getting any better by itself
asciilifeform: apeloyee: maybe i'm thick, but i don't see how to grind 'shift so b has one digit less than a' a fixed number of times for all possible a and b.
apeloyee: I don't see any GCD in miller-rabin
a111: Logged on 2017-08-13 20:36 mike_c: i know, right. It's frustrating prioritizing time. Didn't have time to hang, definitely not to work, so felt weird dropping in once a month and saying "hey, haven't done anything, don't have time to do anything"
mircea_popescu: i don't think it can be put into words, how much of the whole "poor people need help" the pay-for-your-tits disabused in my mind.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect they can fly in this. eagle isn't a swallow.
mod6: i don't think that because they used to bundle up the kernel as a bzip2 that means that average orc-os wouldn't have that tool set in the default userland,.
diana_coman: I don't recall that at the offline build either; still, this time I tried the online build and...
asciilifeform: i don't recall any such thing
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. so you get hdd 1, make 5 copies, i capture one, start grinding it into an otp. so do you. if my computer is 10% faster i'll have the i+1 10% faster than you will.
mircea_popescu: i don't know the difference is factual, tbh.
phf: i don't know enough about history of church to pin point modern day "jesus loves you" conception.
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719945 << felt a lot more like I was *in* the nuke waste drum! panama sux ftr, no idea why anyone outside of maaaaybe overspecialized ornithologists profess to like it. anyway, i have a yahoo account so other people don't have to. zero endorsements intended. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i don't know whether it will make sense to keep this version of knuthdivider, after we have barrett ( where there is still 1 division, but now it is ONE per modexp, and not 8192 of'em ! )
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i don't think this segmentation carries any water. it's not "workingclass or officeclass". it's not country or pop or rap or anything else. it's born before 1990 or not. << Jason Aldean is a "new country" act. Quarantined from both Country and other post-1990.
mircea_popescu: i don't think this segmentation carries any water. it's not "workingclass or officeclass". it's not country or pop or rap or anything else. it's born before 1990 or not.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, re "why would he do that" - I don't think there is a why; what to do with it comes afterwards anyway
mircea_popescu: maybe. i don't think it was anything deeper than just the response, tbh.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, the complete list, from "don't route my emails through fucking atlanta so they can be arrested in rem, imbecile, especially not if you advertise nationalist lithuania or w/e the fuck, scammer" to "don't give away my harddrives to schmucks, what the fuck is wrong with you".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and besides, i'll bet you bitcoin to donuts they DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG.
trinque: in the longstanding tradition of republican payments, deedbot thanks you for your donation. or put more kindly, I don't want to keep a list of names and people's addresses; deposit amounts are meant to identify a person only at a point in time.
trinque: I don't like writing functions that try to figure out what kind of inputs they were handed. (and I write lisp, even)
trinque: lol I don't, but it's a fine policy.
mircea_popescu: and i don't want to bake things that've not even been tested as software.
mircea_popescu: since the client is intended to dissolve into competing community-driven implementations anyway, i don't expect to even be involved in weighing that maybe.
mircea_popescu: well, players are problematic. they might download the game and wait for a few hours to get a key going. then again they might not. nobody's waiting for a week tho, i don't expect.
mircea_popescu: i expect not. so why do you expect other people/parents who don't even have enough sense to find #trilema could teach their kids anything, including how to make mayo ? leaving aside something as intricate as capitalism.
elaineo: i get stock options, but i don't think that makes me an investor. stock options are like S&H greenstamps, where you feel like you're getting something valuable for free but you're not
mircea_popescu: eh, i find it hard to believe you can live in bay area and not be an investor. don't they force-feed everyone stocks, options, etcetera as part of employment there ?
elaineo: i've never been an investor so i don't know what it takes to be successful at one. i suppose it starts with understanding supply, demand, transaction costs
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-30#1718796 << re this, the ~whole objection re trump is that he didn't go into the first press conference with "1. nobody who worked for us govt in the past five years can continue to do so ; 2. i will propose at most one name to congress. they have 48 hour to approve. if i don't propose, or they don't approve, or they approve in 48h01m, the whole dept in question gets unwound, including by publ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't mean they can't fucking drive a car. i mean that they can't throw it.
mircea_popescu: (i don't even mean bulk per se. most fucktoys have eg delicate wrists. can't really use guns effecutally if your two fists together weigh less than a gulp of beer.)
mircea_popescu: don't ask me wtf sense they';re supposed to make, i dun see it.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, via BingoBoingo , '"Reality, uh, you know we obviously know a lot more than... than what we're telling you at this point. And I think you know a lot more than what you're telling us at this point. I don't want you to go down the wrong road. I think you need to... to stop and think about what you're saying and what you're doing. Uhm, you know, I... I think it's a... an opportunity to maybe tell the truth. Because, uh, t
mircea_popescu: i don't care that "on average it's 5 trillion but for the value you chose it's two weeks"
ben_vulpes: while i am definitely guilty of eking a half-decade out of a lathe with judicious application of idle six-axis arms found elsewhere in the facility, i don't think even the screw machine squad's hardware was mostly within expected lifespans.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> BingoBoingo: and hey, why don't you script a qntra deploy and blast it on a new VPS every other week? << A few reasons: 1. I r idiot, 2. Database updating constantly which means need box and not VPS rapehole, 3. This points to Republican ISP needed or no nice things
trinque: I don't expect that I'm moving back
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I follow the part re make your own hands - thing there is that there IS gain in that expenditure of time; and that gain is arguably more than the 15 bucks; however, I don't follow how does that lead to "makes sense just as much to collect coupons /whatevs "
mircea_popescu: on the other side, i don't know there's anything wot doesn't apply to.
cruciform: fwiw, I don't know that the WoT applies to nubiles
diana_coman: cruciform, for one thing man at till is not producer - while I don't give "man at till" extra for the product itself (I might give him for the service if warranted, what), I might even want to give producer more if I consider what he does to be a great thing; payment is support at the end of the day; anyway keeping with your example the thing would be: man at till says it'll be $10, do you ask around in the shop if anyone sells
diana_coman: I don't have anything against others doing whatever, obv, just sort of ...not making sense to me
diana_coman: well, it's not whatever really; as far as I know there is only one maker of FG; and moreover, if I think the "widget" is underpriced then no, I don't waste time running around to ask maybe it's even more underpriced sort of thing
diana_coman: cruciform, I don't get it either: if you think NSA price is low anyway, then why are you looking for some other place to buy it for even less?
elaineo: i don't think academia is as retarded as it's portrayed in MSM. they amplify the worst parts
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure it has anything baked in above and beyond, "here's a billion we don't know what to do with, because we won it at the social mobility lottery, can anyone halp ?" resulting in an ad-hoc, informally specified, poorly directed and utterly undesigned effort to produce words and "numbers" in exchange for expense accounts.
mircea_popescu: bonus points for a text full of "I" as FUCKING IF he's me, except of course we don't get to even see the fucktard's fucking name aywhere.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-20 22:49 apeloyee: I don't understand how to do classical barrett without CLZ on modulus
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716392 << i don't see what part of barrett wants to know leadingzero count ☝︎
apeloyee: I don't understand how to do classical barrett without CLZ on modulus ☟︎
asciilifeform: apeloyee: my principal problem with barrett is that i don't have a proof that it works with 3 or fewer corrective-subtractions for ALL possible a,b,m in a*b mod m
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716177 <-- why 1? don't want to start a debate on that. dunno if debate was ever settled by mathematicians, but I learned in school that primes are strictly > 1 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't think you're allowed to use votes that way.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-19 21:30 phf: i don't know why you explain to me things that ~i argued in the past~. fwiw, i argued "utf-8 is a whole spittoon" back when the question of encoding first came up, to somewhat fierce opposition
phf: i suspect xi trades snappiness for multi-gb use, which you don't notice, since you have to run it on the most recent mac (at least mac front end requires maxver xcode)
phf: i don't know why you explain to me things that ~i argued in the past~. fwiw, i argued "utf-8 is a whole spittoon" back when the question of encoding first came up, to somewhat fierce opposition ☟︎
phf: i don't think that's right, since plan9 does _utf-8_ at fraction of complexity
trinque: not like I don't spray a perimeter around my home, but other than that, if there's nothing to eat, there's nothing to eat
ben_vulpes: would mean he has some knowledge i don't and i went to college dammit!"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-18 05:40 ben_vulpes: getting in on any sort of investment with a woman you don't own lock stock and all three holes is the dumbest thing i have ever heard of
a111: Logged on 2017-09-18 11:39 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-17#1715334 << i don't grok this populist sentiment coming from you of all people. su was hardly rwanda in terms of "1st gen in shoes" and the bulk of those "flew into space" people were pulled from gulags
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-17#1715334 << i don't grok this populist sentiment coming from you of all people. su was hardly rwanda in terms of "1st gen in shoes" and the bulk of those "flew into space" people were pulled from gulags ☝︎☟︎

mats: well, that'd be an internal issue for the party, i don't see a chinese interest in ruling over anybody else, just extracting tribute
mircea_popescu: much like the russkis, what these other marginal orcs have to show for "their great empire" is a barely functional bezzle scheme. i don't even mean the financial part, intellectually speaking the whole us can be comfortably sat down in two lines' worth of "don't say nigger and state-god will provide", which is what, somehow different from "quote marx and wait for moscow" ?
mircea_popescu: but no, i don't think the item as described is useless. if you need a new key in less than a week / if your message lag is mostly this you've other problems to attend to.
asciilifeform: ( i don't own a box with 4096**4096 bits of memory, and neither does beelzebub )
mircea_popescu: obviously, it won't be as good, in the obvious sense that you don't need frenchmen to do it, can have it done in yugoslavia cheaper. and by yugoslavia i mean poland which is to say china.
mircea_popescu: peterl that's EXACTLY what i mean though. all that shit should logically read "whose size is bit-1 rsa modulus". but they don't.
PeterL: by the way, I stuffed the keccak ada stuff (and, speaking of OAEP, here is one of those too) into https://github.com/PeterMLambert/keccak since I don't have my own server up yet ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've heard the hungry but sane before, they don't sound like that at all.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect he's familiar.
mircea_popescu: i don't think he reads anything that's not patently idiotic.
asciilifeform: it is my policy not to ask FG buyers any questions, i have nfi why bought, whether to use as rng or fishing lure, and don't really care
pete_dushenski: i don't recall ever having written about ~owning~ schmancy watches even if i did nail tlp on patek prices (http://www.contravex.com/2015/11/10/the-danger-of-unchecked-assumptions-or-the-surprising-depths-of-inequality/) and did publicly confess to owning leather+plywood chair (http://www.contravex.com/2017/02/20/the-eames-lounge-legacy-continues/)
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 05:57 mircea_popescu: trinque always struck me as a case of "i know these people are right but i don't want them to be" internal tension.
mircea_popescu: trinque always struck me as a case of "i know these people are right but i don't want them to be" internal tension. ☟︎
trinque: at any rate, the thing's HORRIBLY NAMED AND DEFINED class tree is bad enough; I don't think I'd ever sign anything that introduces yet another atop.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i actually don't mind it, it's sort of like trying to write only in aliterations.
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it was a very niche thing. a sort soviet retro future exhibit that somehow survived through the 90s. i don't quite remember what else was there, plasma globes, various magnet accentuated magnetic liquids, that sort of stuff
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 18:06 asciilifeform: ideallly. i don't have a fixedtime reciprocal finder.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713551 << i don't think his notion is without merit, incidentally. there may be something there. ☝︎
