mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "- He says current block ciphers suck. Why? It doesn'
t really become clear from the discussion, which seems to be between two people who have heard a little bit about cryptography, and are trying to outdo each other in what little knowledge they have."

t realised that intel had claimed that the ~pentium 4~ would reach 10 ghz, nor that they actually manufactured the p4 at 3.8 ghz... in 2008. the only reason higher power outputs weren'
t produced en masse was that, apparently, the chips were already consuming 130w at 3.8 ghz and power consumption scaled linearly from there.
mircea_popescu: ah the funniest thing : they wouldn'
t play poker. they wanted to play IPAD APP POKER!
mircea_popescu: in vaguely related lulz : romanian women are sane ; as a result they're all over europe fucking the shit out of everything that moves ; as a result butthurt euroheads don'
t want to extend schengen zone to romania unless it "controils the problem" ;
mircea_popescu: kinda like the soviet equivalent, "oh, so you got kicked out of your party commission thing ? no, you can'
t have a job. because fuck you, that's why"
mircea_popescu: it won'
t work, for many reasons, but they are desperate so reaching out for stevejobian straws.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you think this because you don'
t know gaming.
BingoBoingo: pete_d_out: 5gHz overclocks aren'

☟︎ BingoBoingo: From people who don'

pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's not ridiculous like gavin averaging 100 btc per annum salary for the rest of his days, just as he did when vessenes scam was peaking, isn'
t ridiculous
BingoBoingo: Now U of Illinois's Plato could run if it didn'
t die in 2006. Born in 1960 so 11 years older than Rubio.
BingoBoingo: punkman: Watson's not old enough. IBM's Deep Blue and Deep Though aren'
t quite old enough yet.
mircea_popescu: bonus points for the item two paragraphs supra, where the judge nigh-on admits that he tried to track down the guy and have a little behind the scenes compact with him. sadly he wasn'
t also a laywer. this of course is deeply different from "criminal scheme to bla bla".
mircea_popescu: doh. he doesn'
t think you're special. because you're all equals and whatnot. what's so hard to grasp ?
BingoBoingo: No it's Mircea doesn'
t have time to write that much for Qntra.
BingoBoingo: In other news that time you personally get called a lunatic by Luke-Jr and not just a lunatic, but the only lunatic whose opinon doesn'

mircea_popescu: "Anyhow, it would be a bunch of work for 10 BTC. Hardly worth anyone's time, given this bozo is gonna take all the credit, you probably don'
t even get fame nor fortune..." << jesus almighty. this is why it's fucking public, and lordship and all that, right ?
BingoBoingo: But I'm glad MP no longer can disbelieve the one on the right being 21 because "No way she's 21, that isn'

ascii_butugychag: incidentally, i don'
t recall usg paying out any prize at all for aes nomination
mircea_popescu: i'll be honest with you : i actually prefer encountering scar tissue to actual people. i have many more toys for the former, that i wouldn'

☟︎ danielpbarron: comments are a riot; these guys just can'

ascii_butugychag: it means that decryption of arbitary input doesn'
t leak key bits
mod6: wouldn'
t wanna make me stab myself in the face any less.
mod6: that shit isn'
t right, especially before you've had your coffee
mircea_popescu: nd of analysis is the only acceptable methodology e.g. for cryptography, and that its results should be blindly adhered to as truth about the world especially when they contradict plain common sense, as K&M claim they do (not saying whether the latter is true or not, just that it doesn'
t address this)."
mircea_popescu: it's i suspect the principal pipe through which the sheep that aren'
t exactly stupid transfer material from future back into the past.
mircea_popescu: he can'
t be an "actually" thing because "actually" thing is given by participation in the official scheme to certify the reality of the delusions of the people that would want!
mircea_popescu: besides, it'll teach you how to correctly obsolete keys so you don'
t need them to expire anymore.
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a woman anywhere they waited to take turns on, they never waited on each other to return books to library, nothing, vacuum ?
mircea_popescu: in general, there isn'
t one. in the rare cases when human genius couples with dilligence and creates a SINGLE playing field, the pissants are unaware - generally deliberately.
mircea_popescu: yes not fucking ugly women won'
t conjure pretty ones up. so ?
mircea_popescu: As promised, I have written a letter of complaint to the editors of the Notices. I don'
t know if it will get published (it is also a bit long), but it is available here (pdf) or here (ps) "
mircea_popescu: "What really bugs me, however, is how much publicity Koblitz has managed to get out of this. I see him invited to give talks at many venues, but never see anyone invited to present a counter-argument. (For that matter, I don'

mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> hell, more often by own side. <<< own side can'

t control.")
mats: I don'
t understand this push to get women into combat units
mircea_popescu: and to turdcherry the shitcake, all these nobodies on a stick run around spewing wholly delusional notions of expertise and amateurship. just don'
t ask them to put it to any sort of actual test.

adlai: this block cipher challenge is too soon, i haven'

mircea_popescu: pity we don'

Nicknaem: i'll be back, this isn'

phf: mircea_popescu: ok, i don'

mircea_popescu: the unreliability of record being the chief reason we don;
t know history today
mircea_popescu: there's a sad dearth of research in this field. we don'
t even klnow which of pi*e and pi+e are transcendental. etc.
mircea_popescu: give people a perfectly valid reason to only take crypto : "i don'
t want to be spammed"
mircea_popescu: the properties which º' must exhibit may make the entire scheme unfeasible, but i can'
t seem to prove º' may not exist.
mircea_popescu: from
https://cr.yp.to/bib/online.html : "instead of signing a copyright transfer agreement. If you ever encounter a publisher that doesn'
t accept this, let me know, and I'll be happy to blacklist that publisher here. I'm now blacklisting IEEE and ACM."
PeterL: my wife is pretty sure Sanders is going to save us , I don'

PeterL: you don'

ascii_butugychag: if i can'

mircea_popescu: you don'

mircea_popescu: what else isn'
t proven, that teleco standards ALSO preclude good cryptography ?
ascii_butugychag: this is rather like arguing that 'cutting a man's abdominal cavity open will weaken and kill him.' YES if we haven'
t invented antiseptics yet

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2016#1396294 << this is like falling in love, you don'
t make one just because you need one. chaining things you don'
t understand for accountant's business sense reasons results in unexpected weaknesses. was a thread here about just that few months ago
ascii_butugychag: because i don'
t have 20 years to wait for discovery of good cipher.
ascii_butugychag: but re: earlier thread, i'ma publish 'g'. and it'll have one or more of the bad old ciphers from gpg. BECAUSE gpg is ~already~ the weak link in the proposed system. or ben_vulpes doesn'
t get to download his w4r3z
mircea_popescu: which isn'
t much of an idea, admittedly, but it's all i got.
