asciilifeform: wtf is in a 'common pc'
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767676 << i've been out of commisssion since friday, and will be for another couple of days. got brought down hard with a flu, that hasn't happened to me in a while ☝︎
shinohai: will do mircea_popescu ... gimmie a bit
mircea_popescu: "# We use c=0.005 which has been experimentally found to be optimal in processing time for common PC under MS Windows and values of k of practical interest. A different c value may be desirable for use in different computing environments." << check it out asciilifeform ! IT IS SATOSHI ALL OVER AGAIN. why. WHY!!! ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai mind joining that bs forum and inviting the guy over, either pm http://s13.zetaboards.com/Crypto/profile/3046920/ or else leave a comment on http://s13.zetaboards.com/Crypto/post/?mode=2&type=2&f=3138&t=7234475&p=8091099&qhash=bb4bd596a5be2ea3eed10a35d11d36cb ?
asciilifeform found the item by digging in re 'what is state of the art in guaranteed-prime-generators', in particular 'does anybody have anything resembling an approach to a provably uniform one'
mircea_popescu: . (Note that this is a direct encryption of plaintext material with the help of RSA and not an encryption of a key for e.g. AES with RSA and afterwards an encryption of the plaintext with AES). Based on this function are the functions rsaencryptplaintexttoct() and rsaencryptbytearraytoct(), which process a user-given plaintext string and byte sequence respectively." << this distinction seems rathger without a difference.
mircea_popescu: "# encrypttoct(): Encrypts a sequence of blocks of constant size of mb bits, on the one side applying the for RSA known method of transformation on the individual blocks, on the other side using certain commonly in symmetric block encryption employed methods, namely plaintext-and-ciphertext- block-chaining (with a pseudo-random IV). A sequence of blocks that stems from the plaintext of the user can thus be encrypted with RSA
knoobie: mircea_popescu: that was the first time i have chosen to register with a bot.. :/
mircea_popescu: knoobie make a new name/key and take better care of your life!
knoobie: must have been some serious typo on this pass phrase.. :/ & that was a good read from above
mircea_popescu: m-r is deterministic if you exhaustively search a space of witnesses.
asciilifeform: ( it's a schneierism )
shinohai: That does make a bit more sense, good idea
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Error: "tr" is not a valid command.
BingoBoingo: In other fakes: "The fake passage purports to describe a scene from the early days of the Trump presidency in which the new executive expressed frustration that his television didn’t display “the gorilla channel.” When his aides “compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel,” the president remained frustrated, insisting that the animals should fight one another. "
mircea_popescu: well, you'll have to make a new name.
knoobie: now i got the hang of it, but fucked up on the previous key, can i re-register a new one?
mircea_popescu: lobbes the lucky part in all this is that you still fit what you fit a decade ago.
shinohai wonders if he could make a fortune by becoming a pantsuit tailor .....
lobbes once worked with a d00d from Jordan who always complained about the shitty state of tailors in the US
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 18:59 shinohai: I still want a nice grey one, but no real tailors in area ... subpar Men's warehouse shit where all the threads fall out of seams.
mircea_popescu: why not ? they save a lot of slavegirl busywork.
knoobie: not a fan of bots at all
shinohai: I still want a nice grey one, but no real tailors in area ... subpar Men's warehouse shit where all the threads fall out of seams. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai got a coupla more.
mircea_popescu: this is like http://trilema.com/2015/on-how-i-ended-up-suing-phoenix-nap-llc-on-how-ira-r-cadwells-mom-stephanies-going-to-lose-her-chula-vista-home-on-how-marcus-bohn-is-going-to-catch-a-lot-of-shit-for-that-on-assorted-othe/#selection-199.0-217.246 all over again!
mircea_popescu: so if i follow the history correctly here, some tranny made a mistake that accidentally exposed some lie they've been telling themselves for a long time, which they couldn't cope with, so they went on the usual pantsuit bender of "trying to find the correct authority figure to whine/lie to", which resulted in some random retired stockbroker relocating to dubai in joining #trilema.
knoobie: heh, used to be a stockbroker/day trader but retired at young age, now finishing it off with BTC :P
shinohai: I have a Winchester Model 12
shinohai: mod6 would be proud of me, I managed a pair of quail the other weekend when it snowed.
mircea_popescu: if mod6 came by all nonchalant like and was "hey, i shot a 350 lb shrimp today" what i;d expect the steak to taste like would be ~alligator.
shinohai: Nah A"American" crocodiles seem to be extremely North of range in Florida, but those weird swamp people love fucking with them.
mircea_popescu: it's somewhat a pity internet culture settled on "troll" as the mythological beast. crocodile perhaps much better on cool examination.
shinohai: Yup, they sound like a deep huehuehue to me
mircea_popescu: you got a rsa key knoobie ?
knoobie: heard of a funny story taking event yesterday in here, so definitely decided to join... hahahah
knoobie: a random! lol
mircea_popescu: of course, merely quantitative approaches do not work, lest you end up with a http://trilema.com/2017/the-ethics-of-liberty-by-murray-n-rothbard-adnotated-part-vi-a-crusoe-social-philosophy/#selection-299.0-299.217 style hacker in those entreprising new worlds bereft of any serious thought.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, the argument may be brought that dewey was a terrible cost upon human culture and ~the reason us never amounted to anything : the tendency to pick a topic is not unlike the tendency to pick a gender. "i can't think now, since i'm a girl" sorta bs.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the problem with books in a library isn't even that terrifying, seeing how they usually pick a topic. trilema article picks like a dozen, ikt's all about the interlinks.
hanbot: aha. well a lot of the options on the page atm are just an attempt to offer...more options to folks, lol. typically when i have the missing article problem with trilema it's along the lines of "what was that piece about korea, there was some history in it and a picture, and it was after 2015". not exactly an exhaustive list of checked parameters
hanbot: i was thinking it'd have to be checked, but sure, could open a door best kept closed, i get it
hanbot: anyway i used post over get because of the (3k?) char limit on get --if someone has a lot of terms to put through, the url could get ginormous
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> comments welcome! << you could put grabbing a chunk of trilema to index in there, possibly --though the activity doesn't force presence/participation here in chan
mats: its interesting that isis has found sympathizers in south east asia, which has a syncretic islam
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767528 << lmao argentina coincidentally waking up to "hey, everyone thinks you're shitheads" after half a century of happy solipsism. ☝︎
shinohai: I am pondering that mircea_popescu ... as hanbot said it would be tedious to dump a bunch of links directly to chan, so I was thinking maybe to a paste.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a good thing the usg "coallition" totally won the isis war.
mircea_popescu: shinohai hanbot maybe posting the form via get would allow me to search directly ? or how'd i use this a la !#s ?
shinohai: I'd tell them to piss off back to their own country, they can try to reclaim the Faklands if they want a vacation spot.
trinque: !~later tell Birdman put a 0 in front of that .0185
shinohai: "There is a distinct possibility that the United States might have supplied the FLIR Systems turret the Yemenis claimed to have employed during this shoot down." <<<< lulzy mats
danielpbarron: you gotta wait a sec lol ☟︎
l0de: I can't help it, I'm a troll

mircea_popescu: it is, after all, a deterministic machine.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 01:45 asciilifeform: aha. given correct human-readables, you can always make a mechanism. but very muchly not vice-versa
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767465 << this also serves as a better statement of naggum's "free software failed" argument. it is ~worthless to obtain access to insanity mechanized. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-22 17:12 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1486970 << you know, the proposition that drugs enhance the mind is not so unlikely from the proposition that hanging polished stones of various colors, dead parrots and other detritus from the weights of a grandfather clock improve its timekeeping accuracy.
mircea_popescu: also re "epicycles", should prolly link http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1487207 (or the other one, iirc we had a better discussion somewhewre as to how actual clocks were "hacked" over time to catch up with the moving solar function, resulting in these cvasi-organic piles of patches upon patches making the original mechanism barely comprehensible). imo the better example ; anyone who's seen a medieval clock can't help but b ☝︎
asciilifeform: aha. given correct human-readables, you can always make a mechanism. but very muchly not vice-versa ☟︎
asciilifeform: mod6: the discussion of disassembly was a separate one, concerning audit of 'wtf actually comes out of this-here gnat'
asciilifeform: it is a simple guide to the making of sane arithmetron. that can be hand-compiled with reasonable effort to whatever arch.
asciilifeform: mod6: in a from-the-ground asming, you dun need to do the ruinously expensive synthetic carryflag thing
mod6: i may be mis-remembering this, just thought there was a plan to take the disassembly and produce asm that you would then fabricate possibly?
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> also not sure it's sufficiently detailed to handle the occult topics...what is the number for anal torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow << It's there. The time consuming part is the cutter numbers after the .
mircea_popescu: (tbh, i think it's somewhat shameful the item doesn't come preloaded as a default in wordpress ; it SHOULD by rights, that's what fucking culture is about in the first place, offer the classes preloaded ffs.)
hanbot: also not sure it's sufficiently detailed to handle the occult topics...what is the number for anal torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow
hanbot: mircea_popescu do you see a specific advantage it'd offer?
BingoBoingo: a toilset!

mircea_popescu: a lot has changed since the 80s
mircea_popescu: (contrary to what literary personages like to pretend, there's no hardware hack for this, can parade all the missile trucks they want, it's still a literary phenomenon.)
mircea_popescu: people who were abused in their childhood under the guise of "education" (ie, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-06#1679600 ) fail to realise that... everything is an engine. including repeatedly stepping on a rake in the grass, or geting the plague. ☝︎
asciilifeform: a sort of hydro plant powered by idjits.
asciilifeform: hey, if you have a switch that reliably moves the exch rate even slightly down, and when released -- back up -- that there's an engine.
asciilifeform: and it isn't as if it is a total mystery what current-day machinery produced in the ludovic-13 cannon style look like. looks like lockheed et al
mircea_popescu: similarily salted fish, grain, women, and a few other staples.
asciilifeform: ( recall the 'mass production is a bug' thread )
mircea_popescu: back then, you didn't have (in the sense, you didn't perceive a batshit insane, thoroughly delusional obligation) to explain shit to the plebs.
asciilifeform: i'll observe that i can't yet buy a conventional-comp-that-is-waterheater either, even though it'd be quite handy ( i already have multi-kW water heater item )
mircea_popescu: ie, you need a certain unreal perspective.

mircea_popescu: let's make this point plain, as apparently somehow it's not self-evident : acting like a mongoloid does not get you "suave" brownie points. it gets you mongoloid points.
