apeloyee: would 'doon' be a good replacement for "dune" books? because I recently compared Bored with the Rings with the original, an' find the original insufferable. 'hobbit' at least doesn't pretend to be any more than a fairy-tale for children.

phf: is the new api still going to support real time? i take it you basically have two types of data communicated: spreadsheet mgmt and the sword swinging. right now bulk of complexity is from trying to cary spreadsheet data over sword swinging api (which i think is basically just a giant enum of msg types that can be packed into a udp)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769028 << this is a fact, we froze an old version. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 18:10 mircea_popescu: affiliate. "Hi, this is Bill from Cleveland, and I blame liberals." Son of a bitch, why didn't I think of that. The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a desirable thing, I am simply stating a fact. Some of these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're a psychiatrist
mircea_popescu: moreover, there's a whole population of ustards who are entirely invested in this as a lifetime choice. dood with "Degree" in nothing in particular firmly depends on the whole social security infrastructure in place being continued.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 17:11 mircea_popescu: so far sounds a lot like classical scam, "sure, can do 90% of useful item BUT NO MORE in steady 10% increments you can pay for".
asciilifeform: there's a whole pseudoindustry being born , of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769090 - ing for qc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ie, out and out "we got a line into the oil pipe, now we need mass to swing it!" joy call of the nigger.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee o you have simulators too now ?! but yes, "we are now entering a littoral combat quantumship era, where the fiatola conduits are well in place and thoroughly divorced from results, so all you disgusting niggers listening in -- know that it's a "safe" field in the sense your "criminology" degrees are."
apeloyee: Meanwhile, one ardent quantum computerist, one John Preskill made a 'keynote speech' or whatnot https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00862.pdf "Even with fault-tolerant quantum computing still a rather distant dream, we are now entering a pivotal new era in quantum technology. For this talk, I needed a name to describe this impending new era, so I made up a word: NISQ . This stands for Noisy Intermediate-Sc
mircea_popescu: nah, recall original bockism on whichever social media site "this is not right because here's a statistical survey of an inexistent field"
asciilifeform: nah bock's flavour is more of a 'i did this in 2010 and no i won't show it but hey i did it in 2010 and ...'
mircea_popescu: consequently taking something uttered by usg asset as words rather than "o look what kitten did with its own faeces!" is a little weird. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bonus lul: you can trivially turn 'primehash' (let's for nao call it..) into a symmcipher ( per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-02#1621207 ) . ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inb4 bruce kreibs "releases" a "new generation" etc blabla.
a111: Logged on 2015-05-29 03:48 asciilifeform: a great many ciphertrons sold by nato cocksucker nations (western europe) were actually electronicized versions of 'enigma'-style rotors
asciilifeform: so naturally invites the q of 'why not a trapdoor based on multiplication of primes'.
asciilifeform: as a primitive.
mircea_popescu: entirely true that if one builds a hash which can be provenly as strong as rsa, then thathash powered oaep would be the natural padding for rsa
mircea_popescu: unless you have proof that no such thing as a hash can be made, it's more useful than "this seems obfuscaxy to me!"
mircea_popescu: every proof will postulate something ; this is not a cogent objection.
mircea_popescu: padding is the ~one item where we actually don't need a fix.
asciilifeform: ( in fact, if we had a decent prime-constructor, 'cut it in half and multiply the 2 large primes you get , 1 from each half' would be a decent hash for such use )
asciilifeform: and incidentally, all you want for padding is a n-bit-to-n-bit hash; and if rsa itself is strong, than simple modexp ( or , if you like, two, 1 the normal way, and then 1 of the output bits, reversed ) is a satisfactory hash for paddings.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's , what, a day of train away, neh
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 15:55 asciilifeform: for coupla hundy you could prolly get a tailored set . ( asciilifeform did not stay longenuff to investigate )
ben_vulpes: back, just a lamp
mircea_popescu: in other lifestyle & bed, bath -- zee germanz opened a deli here, finally smoked ribs and shit.
mircea_popescu: woman is not a profession. bank "for agricultors" makes sense because4 they get leasing deals with the machinery producers.
mircea_popescu: i find it apt it'd be the definitive stripper's name, but really now, a bank FOR WOMEN ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, there's a "bank for women" thing here, called "crystal"
asciilifeform: ^ complete with win .exe 'wallet' , a la yesterday's archaeological thread
asciilifeform: point is not that resonance is physically impossible, but that enemy cannot win by ever betting on a particular one
mircea_popescu: rng is not a resonance magic pill, just a resonance de-debugable-izers.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 15:42 phf: my grandfather (and his generation) spent their leisure time working on cars (also billiard and preferance). i can't help but think that working on keyboards is a bit of a step down :o
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1768978 << well it'll make much less obvious resonances so that's a win :D ☝︎
apeloyee: 'what is minimal circuit for rsa' << probably ripple-carry adder + a few registers
apeloyee: and no point in designing a hw multer implementing karastuba, unless saving on Si area
apeloyee: not if you have a 4096b hw multer
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eg, have you "applied" to every single bank in town, making it plain to them that UNLESS they get it done by next week they will probably lose out on the business AND that it is to your superior white man eye inconceivable as well as a shocking break from human community that they take so very long,. and shoulds really be very ashamed of self, much like waiter who takes a piss in your wine ?
apeloyee: egyptian mul doesn't need a barrel shifter
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i designed once ( but never built ) a kbd where each key sits on a 2wire bus, and has time slot
asciilifeform: orig observation was re 'no reason why not 122 tracks inside kbd, going to a cpld'
asciilifeform: ( a lot more than 800 )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1768972 << no way, what, 800 wires ? on time tech it'd have been a foot thick that cable. ☝︎
trinque: I'll be out for a while today, back in the evening
asciilifeform: (i.e. you don't need a universal shift register, can make 'constant' value using a just-in-time-cooked bitstream loaded in for that particular occasion)
asciilifeform: but in principle apeloyee is right, one could make a 'page swapped' tile of 'ice's. ☟︎
asciilifeform: unless there's a seekrit catalogue i dun have
asciilifeform: apeloyee: afaik nobody ever sold a 'sea of gates' fpga/cpld with sram bitstream storage.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: adder is just a series of xor's. but yes you need shift registers to hold the operands, and one to hold the result ( which then can be shifted )
apeloyee: can you use one 'ice' to generate a bitstream for another one?
mircea_popescu: what happened to "but i must warn you mr bb, "applying for bank accounts:" is a thing, bank doesn't open acct ON THE SPOT, takes 8 years"
mircea_popescu: "yes i can FIFTYQUOTESregistger a corpFIFTYQUOTES but it will not be a corp and hello"
mircea_popescu: wtf did that accountant or w/e do, "oh, i can find you a house mr bb, it just won't have any walls..." ?
mircea_popescu: so far sounds a lot like classical scam, "sure, can do 90% of useful item BUT NO MORE in steady 10% increments you can pay for". ☟︎
asciilifeform: i still dislike having to use toolchain from hitler to compile the bitstream. and thereby the current fg is the last time i use a xilinx in a product.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: fg is a very unusual device, in that you can actually put, e.g., terabyte of known input into it, and only you know what the half-GB that ought to come out, is, there is not physically room inside for a secret crib sheet of that size ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That or "Hey pete, wanna send a wire for some BTC"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well acordding to Uruguay it's a business. How long until there's a bank account is a mystery. Moving discussions ahead with the datacenter with the understanding that if a local bank account isn ready in time, there will be some way to pay them.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769036 << this is correct, it simply doesn't have enough LUTs to store even the 2 operands, not even speaking of result. however xilinx is a dead end : because it is 1) nonhomogeneous 2) they switch the internals regularly, specifically to prevent a reversing from being useful in the long term. see old xilinx threads in the logs for detail ☝︎
danielpbarron: been a while since i did that
mircea_popescu: it's been looking for a maintainer for what, 2 yrs.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769016 <- ahahaha, I walked those sidewalks for years and in high heels too; it's a skill! (leather shoes though, always, proper Romanian shoes) ☝︎
diana_coman: mats I'll have a look although s.mg won't use latest vulnerabilities as it were
phf: actually texans make those cowboy boots, i've been gifted two pairs at different times, and they are incredibly comfortable. but of course they are not ideal on pavement, and it's also stylistically a bold move on the east coast
asciilifeform: for coupla hundy you could prolly get a tailored set . ( asciilifeform did not stay longenuff to investigate ) ☟︎
shinohai: I don't expect drastically different results than from first pass, but never hurts to poke these things with a stick some.
mod6: shinohai: ah, alright, i'll probably have a full patch for people to look at here later today.
asciilifeform: errything's a step down.
phf: my grandfather (and his generation) spent their leisure time working on cars (also billiard and preferance). i can't help but think that working on keyboards is a bit of a step down :o ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( and if you make a mistake -- ALL of the flappers fall out: all 122 of'em... )
asciilifeform: i ended up buying a full set of carpenter's clamps, and keeping'em around just for it..
asciilifeform: phf: exclusing items on wheels , i dun think i've ever owned a mechanical device that was as much of a bitch to reassemble , as the 'f'
phf: i have a second model f that i was promissing someone to make operational, i'll play around with that one
asciilifeform: at least every single one i've ever seen a photo of the inside of.
asciilifeform: phf: ftr i think the 'matrix' design is ridiculous. esp in a device that cost what a harley cost at the time.
asciilifeform: but i dun have a better one myself, either
shinohai: lobbes: Your Qntra thing was a very nice thing to wake up to this morning.

lobbes: further out on list: 4) allow bulk submission of links via link to a plaintext list 5) ability to search the -content- of the zips for a phrase (thanks to mats for the suggestion)
mod6: all of the automated tests passed, so that's a good sign
asciilifeform: it is every bit as much of a wholesome thingtodo as making own vtron, imho
TomServo: danielpbarron: wasn't it 600 a week or two ago?
danielpbarron: a bunch of people got some for 200 USD
asciilifeform: TomServo: there is also a fiatola dealership, run by danielpbarron , ask him for current price there.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 03:18 TomServo: asciilifeform: what is the current price for a fg?
danielpbarron: is shinohai not a lord now?
TomServo: asciilifeform: what is the current price for a fg? ☟︎
danielpbarron: might have to make a new key come to think of it.
mod6: They're not super pretty, but they work and are saving me a metric FUCKTON of time.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-14 04:51 mod6: yeah, im maybe considering the bad-form-case where someone modifies the source of a pressed directory, forgets about his changes, comes back 12 years later, then re-presses over said changes, now lost.
mod6: ah, no. i always use a different press dir name, but im pretty anal about how i use v.
asciilifeform: wtf is a proximity girl finder
BigTexasBingo: Has a proximity girl finder so go to the mall, mirar chicas, chicas mirar back, but bonus leads from GPS margin of error
BigTexasBingo: 30 pesos (1 usd) and a Donde esta el bano later... Freedom
BigTexasBingo: Walk the mall for 4 minutes, mom spots a coin operated massage chair. The charlatans make an act out of not finding coins.
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo which reminds me, i was gionna translate a ro piece
