pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's not ridiculous like gavin averaging 100 btc per annum salary for the rest of his days, just as he did when vessenes scam was peaking, isn't ridiculous
BingoBoingo: "The decision comes as the NCAA continues to investigate Katina Powell’s claims that she and other escorts were paid thousands of dollars and given game tickets by former basketball staffer Andre McGee in exchange for dancing for and having sex with U of L players and recruits from 2010-14. The NCAA could still levy further sanctions on U of L in addition to the self-imposed penalty, but university president James Ramsey is hope ☟︎
mircea_popescu: " The fact that this Court would never have entered Boisjoli’s materials as a default judgment that could then be enforced by ‘conventional’ means is immaterial. Criminal Code, s 24(1) is explicit that the fact an attempt to commit an offence could not succeed is irrelevant to whether or not that offence was attempted:
asciilifeform: in fact, as far as i can tell, this has ~never been done at all~
mircea_popescu: actually the 4 color map thing is in my head just as good if not better than knapsack ☟︎
BingoBoingo: But we need more pouring as in d)
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2016 22:32:43; BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: You don't know how astroturf works. It doesn't work if you attack actual mysteries. You gotta attack fake ones like blockcipher as PoW
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu, i suppose, is a natural-born exterminator. whereas i see crushing, poisoning vermin as hard thankless work
mircea_popescu: such as hot irons.
ascii_butugychag: the whole shebang is approx. as alive as... lenin
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: You don't know how astroturf works. It doesn't work if you attack actual mysteries. You gotta attack fake ones like blockcipher as PoW ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Note all the derps supposing the block cipher is somehow supposed to be used as a proof of work
ascii_butugychag: '“I cannot for sure rule out the possibility of a backdoor,” said Gerhard Rieger, a Socat maintainer. “But personally I do not believe that the contributor has a backdoor because he uses an email address at a well known and reputated company, and if someone wants to install such a backdoor he would not use a parameter that can easily be proven as non prime.”' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mod6: Well you gotta understand hobofucking as well as hobocucking are serious trainstation risks
ascii_butugychag: to say 'in the past' is as sane now as it would be after a nuclear war.
ascii_butugychag: proofs in modern cryptography are as meaningful as proofs in any other area of mathematics. Can
mircea_popescu: nd of analysis is the only acceptable methodology e.g. for cryptography, and that its results should be blindly adhered to as truth about the world especially when they contradict plain common sense, as K&M claim they do (not saying whether the latter is true or not, just that it doesn't address this)."
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not unwarrantedly attack a whole nominal group : there are sane people too. an example "Well, he also references Bacon's Novum Organum as justification for "rigorous analysis" in cryptography, by which he apparently means theorem/proof analysis. To my knowledge, that work essentially describes how to conduct empirical scientific experiments to gain knowledge, and does not support the claim that the former ki
ascii_butugychag: as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2014#728963 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "Well, Steven Rudich has fewer than 30 publications if you discount double-copies of conference/journal publications ("http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/r/Rudich:Steven.html"), but he just won this years Godel Prize, so I think that qualifies him as a "top researcher".
mircea_popescu: the thing is as good as pressed shit.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the thing is only as good as the record
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag they are no such thing. notice that when i want something, i squarely ignore their field as per http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ and so on.
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: 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: PeterL yes either set it up as default or specify it in command line. see manpage.
mats: ascii_butugychag: as I recall, only a handful died taking the hospital
mircea_popescu: mats> backed by such nonsense as, 'Israelis do it just fine!11' <<< israelis do it just fine BECAUSE it is mandatory.
thestringpuller: they put that chick in an episode of scandal as herself
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.")

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-02-2016#1397029 << understand, a fucking field where something as commonplace as differential cryptanalysis is "classified"... every SINGLE FUCKING PERSON of human composition to ever EVEN CONSIDER the matter came up with differential cryptanalisis within the fucking day. because what the everloving fuck. as a 10yo playing with 10yo girls i came up with it. just how fucking hard c ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "Every file you write in there is signed. There's no manual signing process, no taring or gzipping, no detached sigs. Instead, everything in this folder appears as plaintext files on everyone's computers. You can even open /keybase/public/yourname in your Finder or Explorer and drag things in."
mircea_popescu: i wish the idiot circuit would write their release document as to be meaningful to people rather than appealing to goats. da fuck am i going to read out of that windows950-esque screenshot other than "hey, windows 95!"
asciilifeform: many lulz, such as,
asciilifeform: the triumph of 'ordinary science' as described by kuhn. ☟︎
asciilifeform: there is no 'provably hard' ~anything~ available, the WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING FIELD is, as far as the eye can see, pseudomathematical turdmeistery
asciilifeform: this hammer hit me in the face the first time around (as a young man, when i had notions of actually making a living in that field, and recoiled in disgust, having encountered something quite similar to what is described in tarver's and moldbug's essays)
trinque: still working on the upload step, which may require altering or adding an RPC. gettransaction just tells number of confirmations, not what blockheight that was, and it's not as though I can call two RPC transactionally
asciilifeform: mozilla is ~ as interesting at this point as ms exploder.
mircea_popescu: pity we don't have any nubile young ladies to offer in marriage as well.
mircea_popescu: as is the ballet teacher holding a switch or light cane.
ascii_butugychag: the imbecilatronics will continue exactly as now until physically unplugged, i suspect
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.
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
mircea_popescu: this works for as long as it does, and in no case produces any airpl;anes.
ascii_butugychag: or the one who came by my old office disguised as 'friendly neighbour, retired blahblahblah' ☟︎
ascii_butugychag: a wild cryptographer is as tolerable to usg as a wild nuke designer.
mircea_popescu: if the snake was as competent as is required for a living animal, it would certainly not harry djb with inept shit of that level.
mircea_popescu: note that the tsar's snake similarly was seen as the shit skin only, and look where that took the tsar!
mircea_popescu: nope. they can only build items that look enough like the image of a plane as hashed through their culture.
mircea_popescu: the enemy can't bake as much as a brick.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, are you happy with the call for papers as is ?
mircea_popescu: make the postage stamp as part of the encryption, as it were.
mircea_popescu: So in re the tmsr call for papers. the Plouffe-Euler-? block cipher would work as follows :
ascii_butugychag: the hilarious part about american politicircus is that none of the groups pandered-to actually ever ~get~ so much as a bite of the carrot
ascii_butugychag: he was put on the stage for same reason as, in last cycle, mike gravel
ascii_butugychag: as discussed in the gossipd thread.
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2016#1396374 << if i can't encrypt a 512byte udp (or file off the protocol number as per gossipd thread) single-packet-hello turd, it's useless ☝︎
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: if this were so, may as well have sent the message in the clear!
ascii_butugychag: or i could use it as cryptoanalysis
mircea_popescu: this is fucking stupid, as it just cements the bad but apparently tmsr-acceptable now cipher.
ascii_butugychag: this is something we're stuck with for so long as using gpg
mircea_popescu: i think it should yea. besides, here's the beauty of it : "broken" v as previously was could nevertheless be used to bootstrap fixed v as currently it is found. you know ?
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
mircea_popescu: up until the point ascii_butugychag made shiva, it made sense to refrain from multi-genesis situaiton for complaisance. but now that there's two, might as well have 3 and this one is actually useful.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: " It took nitrous oxide intoxication temporarily reducing his mental faculties in a particular way to grasp the Hegelian program as its proponents did." << GIGA-L0L
mod6: I'll keep this in mind as a test case.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not as such
mircea_popescu: maybe not as self-combustingly insane as the Bitcoin notion of "accounts" , but still.
mod6: the graph has been updated as well.
mircea_popescu: what distinction do you do there ? so you sign the txn on one system, and dump it as a rawtx on another. this is a big deal somehow ?
adlai: Carli-: not really, i don't think this is the same kind of procedure as googling three-ingredient brownies
trinque: I am as we speak making deedbot use it exactly as such
asciilifeform: as i think most people here have.
asciilifeform: adlai: you can use it as a jackhammer if you wish
adlai: asciilifeform: would it still be correct to say that there is no intent that people use trb as a wallet? or at least, use the same trb as a network node and a wallet node?
asciilifeform: and i am on record as insisting on this.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395914 << this is an ok (if wasteful of cycles) thing if using shiva only as rpc, but precludes writing any serious functionality in it ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but basically the same thing except as a java ?
mircea_popescu: felipelalli the reason you're getting so much grief is that it's not clear how your premises work. i mean i get it, you want to help people, and teach them about otc and so on. this is one thing. but i mean what did you do, i don't follow, reimplement gpg as a java thing ?
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 20:57:51; thestringpuller: aha. so pretty much ~only~ for labratory use as stated.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and missing the "as mp said back in january 2015" bit, of course.
pete_dushenski: the alternative (atm) is a ~fixed~ set of peers determined at random on start-up, as seen in 'multibit', which i can tell you from first hand experience this week has not been broadcasting select transactions from select keys. at all. and this is in no way fixable.
pete_dushenski: for a '-connect' private node ? probably, but every single '-addnode' public node, save asciilifeform's majick baltic node, seems to variously lag before restarting, at least as far as i can follow from bitnodes.io
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395247 << i've had to restart as well every 2-5 days in the last 3 weeks. same 'network' issues causing lag of 10-100 blocks. fixed instantly by restart, new peer discovery. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395111 << heh. i thought this commrade mighta been trinque's but it's not quite synced as far as he claims his btcd replacement for deedbot- is. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: similarly to how my argument is that rather than "improving" bitcoin, that time'd be better spent fixing the codebase as it is.
mircea_popescu: he then thinks to himself : "i could shoot as high or as low as i want, and the bullet wouldstill hit the apple, because i'm that special, and because that's what man made muskets for and how bullets work etc".
mircea_popescu: moreover, whether it does or might isn't the point. the point is, can you prove it doesn't have such nature ? because unless you can, speaking of it as a quota is iffy.
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 20:22:52; ascii_butugychag: felipelalli: you say this as if you had no choice ?
mircea_popescu: in this sense the argument can be brought that while the early block limit as implemented by miners (using 60% of the 1mb blocks) WAS a quota, the actual 1mb block size is not a quota at all,
