mircea_popescu: so no, they didn't make money
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: lol but why ? she wouldn't let you get evicted. << I think she'd actually evict me, then decry that there were homeless programmers.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu thinks gabriel and janna would make a perfect couple. << I'm almost insulted.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: if you're a capitalist everything exists << this makes no sense to me.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: im not going to go into how "Most ideas humans would like to communicate using the computer are quite simple." is both factually incorrect and a very poor premise. << I didn't see this prior to our conversation, courtesy of not paying my bills. This is actually the crux of it, so let's revisit. You've publicly stated something to th
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: if you had Eurola shipped in 1/2 the time this would matter to you, no?
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: I'd argue with you, but it'll be less labor intensive to just wait until you use it (or even a select codebase like CLIM)
gabriel_laddel: 03:55:16
mircea_popescu: or for that matter, predict the next one, so you know where not to go o.O << Cincinnati

mircea_popescu: africa is actually, at least from what i've observed, extremely ordered.
BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> that's called dunbar's number and is ~100 not ~20 << See how Dunbar's number works is you can know 150 people, harass 1500 people, but only count on at most 15 to follow instructions
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: if you've got some spare time on your hands, (Mc)CLIM is neato
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: Is the argentine legal system as derpy as the rest of the country?
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: if you know someone in the SF Bay area who would throw me a computer, that would be tight.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: need to find a box to hack the install proc on
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: finished an (interactive) Architectural tour of Masamune.
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I think he prefers the salutation "panzer" when so hailed
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I dunno hitchiker whores can make it to 40 and become settled whores unless they roll a Ted Bundy
BingoBoingo:

BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo whether they're women or not is not up to them. gender is something allocated to one. by, in this case, me. << I see this.
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: But the people pushing the trans/cis thing largely aren't women. They are some large women and some men who have modified their sex to a null state.

mircea_popescu: the socialist state does not want a normally functioning society, but instead this stellar configuration where the state is at the center,
felipelalli:
mircea_popescu: I didn't know. Thanks for the pro tip.

mircea_popescu: it was highlighted by intel about two weeks ago, and we're generally tracing it to philippines "top quality" content farms working for a number of (mostly ct and wash based) pr firms.
decimation:
mircea_popescu: yeah that's a good point

mircea_popescu: instead of parading them naked through the streets with a "i was a fucktard and am now sorry" thing around their neck, they let them sit around for twenty years coming up with reasons as to how their idiocy "wasn't really all that bad".
assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 09:25:23;
mircea_popescu: this is not recoverable.

mircea_popescu: for as long as the free herring still lasts, they can run around derping about how they meditatively comprehensified the deep secrets of the universe.
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: tbh, someone has to explain this "subkeys" retardation to me sometime. fucking pseudohierarchy devoid of meaning. << Within your big GPG keyblock you can have multiple keys, say a 4096 RSA for signing and another 4096 to encrypt to. Beyond that you can keep stuffing moar keys in there just because...
Apocalyptic:
mircea_popescu, rho pollard plus countless iterations of ECM for reasonable bounds assuming there is a 20-30 prime digit factor in the modulus reminder
ascii_field: there is also
mircea_popescu's 'magic flag' hypothesis.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: quite a few. which is consistent with the 'random bits make terrible rsa moduli' thing.
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 11:53:36; *:
mircea_popescu underscores the ~probably~. it is not a certainly. not yet at least. moar uranium has to be mined first.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: he appears to be taking issue with interchangeable use of 'keys' and 'moduli'
Apocalyptic: <
mircea_popescu> Apocalyptic finding a small factor is not inherently breaking a specially crafted key that was made to have that one small factor, yes. // this is all i was arguing :)
ascii_field: Apocalyptic: read
mircea_popescu's article where litmus.py appears.
Apocalyptic:
mircea_popescu, it is breakage in the sense it reduces the apparent security, the key may still be pretty much alright
ascii_field: Apocalyptic: read
mircea_popescu's latest article to learn how the bulk of the booby keys were generated
mats:
mircea_popescu: has been built. lotsa videos around of it doin the hovering trick.
Hasimir:
mircea_popescu, take up chess, it helps keep you sharp(er)
Hasimir:
mircea_popescu, well, listing a hundred and something frequent posters to gnupg-users with the statement "we probably have your private key" does imply a certain degree of breakage
Hasimir:
mircea_popescu, a ref. to a particularly hard-line stance taken by some people on gnupg-users

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you remember where the fuck is that discussion about how a good hardening approach is to deviate from the toolset the attacker might reasonably expect to find is ?
Naphex:
mircea_popescu: a good attacker will do discovery, and map everything ahead of time. while there are some pluses into deviating from the toolset. they mostly come from building your own. which is going to end up better fitted for the task
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> maybe i wanna use e = 2686977, whose business is it. << i was looking at this yesterday too, had the same impression. mpi_set_ui( e, 65537);
fluffypony:
mircea_popescu: nah, some interesting guys but they're all just trying to do gambling stuff in Romania and elsewhere
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> any idea what caused the oom ? if anything identifiable at all. << nothing specific yet. although the charts are interesting. Process Switches hit 4k before going to zero.
davout:
mircea_popescu: on osx you can either build GPG, or use this macgpg stuff, i use the former, so can't really help here
davout:
mircea_popescu: i don't know, i really don't hang around hn very much
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> mod6 nice work on the perf tests btw. << thx!
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 12:54:33; asciilifeform: until i saw the auto-updater crud, my most parsimonious hypothesis re: the matter treated in last section of
mircea_popescu's article was that the buggers built a straight chumpmagnet, where lusers would search sks for email addr. of someone or other, and end up with latest key (try it) displayed being one of the 'magic' ones
davout:
mircea_popescu: it's on hn, let's watch the ranking pattern
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: and how do you prefer to communicate? all through the channel?
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 07:29:53;
mircea_popescu: 1) find some group you respect ; 2) work on their ideas ; 3) there is no 3. you will have ideas, yes, but you'll never have to try and sell them like noobs with "my film idea" in hollywood.
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: very much so.
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: what can I say, maybe they have no purpose, only dopamine causes
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: yep. Android only these days
davout:
mircea_popescu: unless martingale1!!1
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: yeah. In which case you're basically selling entertainment
isaackl:
mircea_popescu: OK, to connect it to reality. Sovereign wealth fund, has a lot of USD. Realises USG is shaky and wants to diversify. How do they decide how much to allocate to gold or bitcoin?
ben_vulpes:
mircea_popescu: yeah i'm going to find her photo and then doxx her
