mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> it is the *perfect* make-work machine. << seems an exact description.
mircea_popescu: and in other division of belabour news, http://67.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md1w288TYL1qfu1wko1_500.gif
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes quite exactly. a sort of "when soviet army provisions jets, it provisions tupolevs!" what the fuck difference does this make to wage slave trying to get from point a to point b ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: point was that aws only ~feels~ cheap
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: was lunch money op.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 01:08 mircea_popescu: basically the "problem" idiots like paul whatshisface are imagining docker solves is entirely a business construct : idiots gave their neck away to "cloud" companies because "it will be cheaper", exactly on the model that produced "export jobs to china"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 05:52 mircea_popescu: o btw phf, you aware of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508571 ? you never said anything. more generally, do you see the value in a ticket set for a111 on mod6 's thing ?
asciilifeform: archive.today literally served me a wholly unrelated thing as what mircea_popescu gets.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 22:29 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's 32k zip unpacks great
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 22:30 asciilifeform: and has NOTHING in common with the jpegs or html in mircea_popescu's 32k zip
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that zip contained nothing but rubbish.
phf: since ben_vulpes can do that
phf: mircea_popescu: having hard time finding relevant bits, since thread diverged many times. a long standing criticism of dpaste was "all these pastes are going to make log not as useful", when ben_vulpes released his wotpaste there was discussion about expiration and how to mitigate it. fwiw i don't remember where it went from there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's neuschwabenland doing in the atlas then ?
phf: mircea_popescu: oh? that must've changed since last time we had conversation about it
phf: ben_vulpes: i remember there was functionality to not expire wotpastes if they are in the log. what do you need me to provide you with in order to get that operational again?
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2016/please-stop-using-dns-already-and-other-considerations/#footnote_1_65060 << him ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re ^ - where was that trilema piece with the plugged bathtub ?
asciilifeform: (does anyone find it interesting that modern gpg uses ~same mpi implementation as dark age pgp, but with massaged function names ('mp_' vs 'mpi_') ?
asciilifeform: https://w2.eff.org/Privacy/Digital_money/?f=magic_money.announce.txt << pretty lulzy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was trying to learn the answer to that.
asciilifeform: 'Someone please prove me wrong, but I think there is a bug in the function mp_modexp_crt (RSA decryption and signing) in PGP23a's MPI library. Attached to this message is a program which demonstrates the bug. While testing Magic Money for lingering bugs, the client gave the error "Coin from server has bad signature!" I tried again with different coins, and the program worked. The proto.dat file had been cleared as the coins were rea
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you toured usa, how many folks could find your home town in the atlas ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: typical usaschwitz inmate is isolated enough that, e.g., the 'flying pistol copter' fella on youtube, was 'russian' enough to satisfy.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: sent
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think that was all of it.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aesop
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, 1sec
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo send the man a congratulatory email ? since it turns out you linked him first. << Gotta catch up on log to figure out who I am congratulating on what.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun work on pyrex
jurov: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=simax+kettle aciilifeform just buyu one of these and stfu. it's annoying
a111: Logged on 2014-08-27 01:00 asciilifeform: 'pardon my cynical twist, but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_? If you answer "nutt'n, I jus kinda wondered what it'd be like, you know", you should be very happy that I am most likely more than 3000 miles away from you, or I would come over and slap you hard.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: familiar with 'captain midnight' story ?
asciilifeform asks emulated mircea_popescu , who answers 'from cause!11111'
asciilifeform: what would mircea_popescu have put in there ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mechanical drawing of the stuttering whitener slide thing.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524210 << wai, wai the waitening, mircea_popescu ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: lobbes: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/52740_16h_Models_30h-3Fh_BKDG.pdf << section 2.14 is afaik the ONLY public doc on amd's fritzchip
asciilifeform: http://idlewords.com/2012/02/bia%C5%82owie%C5%BCa_forest.htm << reminded me of mircea_popescu's boars!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same reason it needed precision voltmeter !
a111: Logged on 2015-12-09 22:16 ascii_field: j. strong's 'methods of experimental physics' covers the basics; the whole b00k is somewhere w4r3z3d in the logz.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: as i understand it, harem in usgdom consumes an entire fuel rod of mircea_popescu per week, or so.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you probably would have better luck deprogramming the disney princesses. I haven't seen it personally done tho.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i broke same, with molten saltpetre
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 13:46 mircea_popescu: sadly stopped a year or so ago it seems ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the other one almost ended up in scenario where a girl burned down his condo, when she went unstable cause "My needs aren't being met".
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: harem's are much harder to manage in USG. The pets are higher maintenance.
shinohai: We will see what September brings mircea_popescu thx!
shinohai: https://m.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4y8m76/0130_binary_safety_warning_bitcoinorg/d6mao05 " Option 2 would be to skip creating the WoT, get the key, and verify its full fingerprint in several places, from several computers, at least once using Tor."
mircea_popescu: aaactually the http://idlewords.com/2004/05/attacked_by_thugs.htm bit is both delishius and entirely reminds me of home.
asciilifeform: http://idlewords.com/2007/04/tv_solidarity.htm << also of interest.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 4096 is pretty spiffy until some bozo drills it out and puts in tungsten.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'аргентина манит негра' (tm) (r)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hah, good one
Framedragger: (i recall reading his post on polish astronomy pirates, wasn't aware this had happened: http://idlewords.com/2007/04/balloon_pirate_radio.htm ; and http://idlewords.com/2007/04/tv_solidarity.htm)
Framedragger: of the argentinian-flavoured posts of his, this one is apparently well-regarded (haven't read yet) http://idlewords.com/2006/04/argentina_on_two_steaks_a_day.htm
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hmm maybe but i don't think so - i think he lived / spent some time there in the past
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:20 Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just to me, any dreams of "global anarchist revolt" *are* lost on me (i'm terribly naive but not *that* naive). personal responsibility and individualism (vague word, i know) are necessary conditions. and.. yeah, i don't have much hope for humanity, given that...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm actually felling a bit of that constructive mp-rage towards gnupg. by god it should be kicked and replaced as soon as possible
Framedragger: `log_hexdump` was being used incorrectly? (i'm only catching up, hey)
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 03:55 mircea_popescu: btw folks - wotpaste wipes shit daily. make sure you save what you want.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524000 << archived wotpastes from today's warzone: http://log.mkj.lt/wotpaste_20160818/ ☝︎
Framedragger: fucking hell. nice public elucidation articles, asciilifeform and mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: and in other news, http://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me1j7gf0TO1rgh5euo1_500.gif
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all bignums in gpg are passed around as pointers to 'mpi' data structure.
asciilifeform: so yes, mircea_popescu phrased correctly, we are seeing 'memory dump'
mircea_popescu: yes yes, but what log_hexdump does is, it dumps from memory starting at address going for count. pretty straightforward.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mpi was written by braindamaged folk who believed that bigint ought to be able to 'grow infinitely'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not stack. the raw mpi turd.
mircea_popescu: so basically, log_hexdump just reads off the stack, and it mostly reads garbage ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524113 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: log_hexdump("\n\nFurther lulz:",prime,nbits/8); log_hexdump("\nYielding:",ptest,nbits/8); << relevant lines.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu this is still a raw mpi hexdump

asciilifeform: hint: what does log_hexdump do
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and what did the p and q in the privkey look like ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 04:03 asciilifeform: p = generate_secret_prime( nbits / 2 );
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ought to be log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits/8.); <<
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits);
asciilifeform: and what did mircea_popescu use for a compiler, that ate this.
mircea_popescu: you mean log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", prime, nbits/8.); ?
asciilifeform: ought to be log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits/8.);
asciilifeform: log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits);
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, mod6, mircea_popescu , et al
asciilifeform: mpi_set_bit( prime, 0 );
asciilifeform: mpi_set_bit (prime, nbits-2);
asciilifeform: mpi_set_highbit( prime, nbits-1 );
asciilifeform: char *p = get_random_bits( nbits, randomlevel, secret ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: gen_prime( unsigned int nbits, int secret, int randomlevel )
asciilifeform: prime = gen_prime( nbits, 1, 2 );
asciilifeform: generate_secret_prime( unsigned nbits ) gives us a
asciilifeform: q = generate_secret_prime( nbits / 2 );
asciilifeform: p = generate_secret_prime( nbits / 2 ); ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is useless
