asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: looks like https://ru.aliexpress.com/store/product/USED-ITEM-Mini-ADB-USB-to-ADB-Adapter-2-Ports-for-IMac-and-G3/224546_32679510845.html
mircea_popescu: which means the "civilised world" reduces to europe, china coast, and a 2-3-4mn sqkm thin strip uniting them, with The Road in the middle and civilisation reaching out .a coupla hundred units perpedngicularily north and south.
mircea_popescu: 2-300km range.

asciilifeform: (2) is prolly solvable simply by being very, very loud. but (1) i have nfi, my puny brain is not up to producing an obvious pill.
asciilifeform: principal headaches, afaik are 1) how to get payload from the buyer to the seller to begin with 2) how to settle dispute re performance ( e.g. 'you said you tx'd, but over on mauritus nobody got the signal' etc )
asciilifeform: '...storage capacitor holds 0.2 watt-seconds of energy... about 90%, 720,000 peak watts, delivered to the antenna... might be heard world-wide, but I don't know that for a fact... while total power in the pulses might be impressive, it's an extremely wideband signal - much less power is present on any particular, say 5 kHz, channel. In other words, the sparker is sending a very crude form of spread spectrum'
asciilifeform: actually , the way i'd implement the thing , is to not change the format in any way, other than a condition that 1) e can be any 4096b string 2) but if it fails m-r, nextprime(e) is used as e
diana_coman: asciilifeform, it's actually IN the pasted material; that nbits/2 , lol
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
diana_coman: so yes, unsurprising; switched it to 4096 bits and time jumped accordingly to ~4 instead of ~2
diana_coman: in other news: data collection on rsa with random co-prime e and then with random prime e almost ready; at first glance on co-prime encryption:decryption times are as expected approx 4:1 (crt); with prime e the ratio is more like 2:1

ang-st: 2 different area, 2 different problematic and the wish to go "for profit" ie build a company on top, create billed jobs
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 18:32 mircea_popescu: ang-st there's a matter of scope here, your => 4652.00 (total en moyenne mensuelle) is 2/3 or so of the random advance pushed out to one purveyor of eventual tmsr.isp. the republic is indeed mighty in this sense ; meanwhile there's also an ideological rub, the republic is dedicatedly elitist whereas from what i see the whole point of this tetaneutral thing is to support specifically those-who-should-not-be-permitted-online,
asciilifeform: i have currently 3 boxen for pilot plant. all 3 contain 32cores of 'opteron 6376'. 2 of them contain 256M of ram; 1 currently has 24G ( can hold up to 256 ). each has 2 x G/sec nics, 2 x (reduntant) 700W ps . ☟︎

ang-st: mircea_popescu: no we have our own AS, 2 kind of DC room a 10G line
asciilifeform: also gotta distinguish b/w the 2 types of reversing ( did we have thread ? ) -- sov-style clone is CONSIDERABLY easier than proper logical reverse
shinohai: I have one of these, best one I have ever bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6CP1HI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1
trinque: went from wealthy italian folks doing italian things to more or less "people of walmart" in 2 generations. lack of options doesn't excuse that.
asciilifeform: i'ma make a container, but prolly not 2 and defo not 3
asciilifeform: i suppose i oughta also mention 2 21-inch trinitrons, one of which -- brand-new, ~1hr of runtime.
asciilifeform: 2 dec alphas remain, plus a megatonne of other yet-uncatalogued .
BingoBoingo will likely leave 1/2" drive socket kit behind
asciilifeform: so, eh, you'll need 2 of'em.
asciilifeform: the 2 aren't in any way similar.
asciilifeform: it's a fundamental untruth. because somewhere in phase space, waiting to be found, is 1 ( or 2, or 9000 ) collisions.
asciilifeform: 2) phi = (p-1)(q-1)
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu know a proof that i cannot choose an alternate e that will result in a pubkey that 1) verifies some or all of the existing signatures made with his genuine e + 2) verifies another, which he did not produce ?
asciilifeform: davout: 1) in person 2) via secure channel from people who you already know, who know $person.
mircea_popescu: anyway, wouldn't usually be room fulla chicks, unless in some narrow cases. generally the way this works is usualyl 2, rarely 1 if the men are poor or 3 if the men are showoffs, whores and however many men can stand each other, usually 8 +- 3
mircea_popescu: 2 is 2.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem of 2, and it is as deep as it gets. mentally isolated, solitary lonely lost dorks.
asciilifeform: the english managed to solve 2 without making any dent in 1
mircea_popescu: romania's problem is 2 not 1.
mircea_popescu: there's two prongs that drive to "i understand empire france by reading balzac" : 1. that balzac writes and 2. that the whole fucking world buys his foilletons.
mircea_popescu: romania had a great king, carol 1st. he was a scion of carol of hohenzollern and maria murat. romania also had three shitty kings : ferdinand, carol 2 and mihai, in decreasing order of shittytude -- the first one was like a librarian, inept but disciplined. these come off leopold and some portuguese infanta. MUCH worse material.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 16:21 apeloyee: I must say that I dont understand how "exponent 131074 reduces to exponent 2 somehow", and what CRT has to do with it
asciilifeform: sorta how i got to the positional modulator thing -- can you take advantage of the fact of having 2+ dispersed stations.
asciilifeform: i dun get how the 2 items can be separate
asciilifeform: so long as i can force the 2 ends of the line, to differ in such a way as to carry information
asciilifeform: 2 is the bare minimum for a working ( again conjectured, whether it could work ) item.
apeloyee: but "1 transmitter is visible, 2 are not" i find hard to believe
apeloyee: i could understand if having 2,3, 4,... transmitters progressively lowering the detection chance
asciilifeform: it will work with >2, but afaik you only need 2.
apeloyee: but you claimed "just 2", and not 3, 4...
a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 18:37 asciilifeform: for same reason you an' i, have 2 eyes
apeloyee: ...then, by the CRT, there exists a bijection between all numbers in range [0, primorial-1] not divisible by any primes in the primorial, and the tuples of nonzero remainders from division by the primes. "numbers in range [0, primorial-1] not divisible by any primes in the primorial", obviously, includes all primes in said range (except those in the primorial). if the remainders mod 2, 3,...

asciilifeform: ( exercise #2 : show how many bits of input entropy are on avg. discarded by koch generator. )
asciilifeform: ( the koch method, of taking R and adding 2 to it until m-r says yes, trivially leaks )
asciilifeform: i can show that no 2 inputs will produce the same prime, trivially

asciilifeform: any method of 'constructing' primes , rather than hunting for wild, is guilty until proven innocent of 1) constriction 2) bias
asciilifeform: 'This could even be a deliberate weakness with plausible deniability: "Oh, sorry, nobody warned us that 2 mod 11 was okay and 10 mod 11 wasn't."'

davout: who knows, maybe that leads to an "Ethereum Classic 2"

apeloyee: why 2 instead of 1 of maxint?
asciilifeform: thereby scheme reduces to looking for a truly rngistic signal that at all times is known ~in advance~, but from 2 or more diverging physical directions; and comparing.
asciilifeform: receiver needs to know 1) prng seed for each 2) the band 3) his physical position relative to the prongs of the station
