a111: Logged on 2018-09-26 22:00 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly like most folx who actually work on proggies, asciilifeform has '9000' vtrees on various disk, on various boxen, that are in classical format, and many not even intended for publication, the ones that see daylight naturally will become newtype
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 06:54 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'homebrew crypto', there actually was a 1990s plague of commercial shitware folx who flunked arithmetic and then went to 'implement rsa', with exponent = 1 and so on
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bureaucracy very much has concept of hierarchy tho.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i didnt try patching out the test ( given as it's got montgomery, the answer will be soup ) but did try for odd exp, got ~same~ as for the nonconstanttime gmp knob ( which is pretty hilarious, means that they dun do anything differently for 'constant time' variant, evidently )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: montgomery demands that mod an' exp be ~coprime~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have plain old tcp with 'pehbot' ( via trinque's cl proggy )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that's the usual heathen hypothesis (aka 'hormesis'). mircea_popescu seems to favour the other one (and seems moar plausible to asciilifeform) , where straight 'burn-in test'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc auschwitz also had 'elixir of youth' effect on the folx who were still movin' in '45

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lol, yet ~another~ war the us lost ? << Well this war is US+Israel, but it seems the only think that was keeping it a war was the US being there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you suppose keeps the jungle from reclaiming that clearing ? ( do folx with machetes show up erry week, or wat )
diana_coman: on one hand there is what mircea_popescu says that yes, by now and given the type of rot it's actually to be expected; on the other hand it's of the sort that still sounds...unbelievable, yes
a111: Logged on 2016-11-26 22:20 mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the slut party, http://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lard124fV41qzw9y2o1_1280.jpg

asciilifeform: let's hear mircea_popescu's logical end of the stick tho. mircea_popescu finds himself partizan commander again, in the field. has 300 men. how he decides how many to send to ambush nazi convoy ?
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: 36.4285714286
a111: Logged on 2018-12-28 17:15 mircea_popescu: seems to me the unspoken heuristic is, "large enough so it's not meaningful [and therefore large enough to not bother] and small enough so it's not larger than some other number i thought about".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if someone knows how to make ffa moar 'docs is the program'-y, oughta write in and tell asciilifeform , cuz i came as close to it as i knew how.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: upper bounds can be known in advance . ( in ffadom, at least. ) in larger meta-heuristics, naturally cannot be ~known~, but can be estimated.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i v-versioned the ~docs~, we'd be at 50-ish, nao, i suppose
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 17:09 mircea_popescu: natural language, however, ablates the trees for "convenience" so to speak, ie, uses commonly what's known in computing as sparse trees.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how does bridge constructor decide 'it should hold 50 tanks time margin of 3' and not 55 and not 45.
asciilifeform: incidentally i expected mircea_popescu to say '255 is laughably generous'
asciilifeform: possibly mircea_popescu is simply less thick than asciilifeform and expected the find
asciilifeform: the copy on my www ( and later cleaned further by diana_coman ) is from gpg 1.4.10 ( itself from signed tar that mircea_popescu dug in in '14 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is tru re gpg per se
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phunphakt, since last night , massive uptick in heathens visiting ffa www, even curl'ing patches. but so far none have the balls to speak up.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got these too !
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 15:46 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on meditation, that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological. there sit the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position to understand the problem. god knows they have much better access to much better priors that readily illuminate it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman , et al ^
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: paradoxically it is the simplest known pill.
trinque: once off that, I might see about ebuilding trb (with perhaps phf's v+portage work if it surfaces), and then mircea_popescu's gns v-tree, unless gpg replacement surfaces soon, in which case deedbot->peh work
billymg: mircea_popescu: sounds good!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bdb recall also was used for 'wallet'; iirc trinque had an experiment going with tearing apart walletism
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i have the thing written ( and iirc even posted, 'unofficially' ), but it will take some sweat to properly glue & test.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it's the theme on top because mine has a bit of very heavy handed my-way-or-the-highway re styles
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds about right. ( tho greatly depends on 'luck of the draw' )
asciilifeform: 14b also includes nitpicks sent in by diana_coman & mircea_popescu .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how come nobody (afaik..) ever filmed a live-action sokoban ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they will when the whale-eaters die. ( it's mostly folx in their 60s-70s doing it. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand there's always been a 'dollar' (in the sense of best-looking-horse at fiatola glue factory) at any given time
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a wonder anyone gets to keep a job for a whole damned year. << Increasingly they don't
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's this retard thing where Uruguay imagine it can have a central bank. Looking at all of the possible things it could control it decides to do inflation as a structural thing and try to keep the country solvent by chasing this moving target they made. THE CENTRAL BANK SELLS DOLLARS TO KEEP USD FROM FALLING VERSUS THE PESO!!! sort of insanity follows.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ugh, you want strong on top of link? wtf

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: yes
mod6: How's it goin mircea_popescu & asciilifeform?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ? << There was some overlap with people wearing gray bodysuits to play NPCs

asciilifeform: http://ossasepia.com/2018/12/24/a-week-in-tmsr-10-16-december-2018/comment-page-1/#selection-95.505-95.623 << mircea_popescu is implication that this is an underhanded thing to do ? cuz i dun see any diff b/w trinque's wallet eating unsolicited coin for the glory of trinquedom, and asciilifeform swallowing unsolicited packets ( i.e. without valid customer ip as dest addr ) ditto
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> sometimes i think the ~only social product of females in this country is the yelling out of various names, sometimes interspersed with "venga" or something. << The retards here do "Vení" instead
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, fixed the "whe" and thanks for the comment! Can you believe that summary is actually...5k words and a bit to spare too?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: obv 'key' is defined as 'the bits you actually need to get the payload out of the ciphertext', how else
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why exactly ~is~ it that they 'I can't even read the whole subject line' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, it'sa 'all or nuffin' situation, if you prove 'only odd bits leak', all you gotta do is to make the key 2x long, and the even bits are your nonleaking key, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re the ciphers : it's the item asciilifeform regularly comes back to, iirc most recently in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-22#1742198 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-14#1613906 , but also we did the luby variant of same, and iirc earliest discussion was the http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-24#1589881 thing ( and mircea_popescu's various extensions of subj ) ☝︎☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phunphakt, msdos 'edit' is actually qbasic exe , with a few NOP'd bytes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i fiddled with 'quickbasic' (the 'non-crippled' ver of microshit 'qbasic' for more yrs than care to admit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re crapple lulz : bolixtron lives in a mid-90s crapple, and it's surprisingly better in buncha ways than their current offering (standard cabling, ultrascsi hdd, apparently standard period rams , ordinary vga, etc )
