bitstein: asciilifeform: good points. I posted it mostly as a reaction to the knee-jerk reddit response getting all butthurt that he would do such a thing. Of course, indifference may be the best response.
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, he's just another larcenous piece of shit
asciilifeform: wyrdmantis: about as interesting as a burglar getting out of jail to work at an alarm company
mircea_popescu: yes. as the us turns into shit, the balancing act consists in avoiding splashing
asciilifeform: just as the 'make plebes stupid & pliant' folks ate the 'pinkerton' pour la canaille - la mitraille types.
mircea_popescu: as you say, balance
asciilifeform: -also- sold unique machine (you needed a smbx lispmach to run it, in fact, as front-end) but -also- comically mismanaged and squandered most of its dough on french chefs, etc.
assbot: Logged on 21-05-2015 10:04:19; gabriel_laddel: story time: I ran into loper-os after a stint programming clojure as a day job. I ended up getting evicted for playing around with CL instead of paying rent. I got another place, found trilema+#bitcoin-assets and... got evicted again.
mircea_popescu: they were used as exploration drones, basically. see what fruit is poisonous etc.
mircea_popescu: and as to "if you're a capitalist everything exists" - it's a subtle point, but in order for one to be a capitalist, the requisite premise is "that which is is and necesarily is, and that which is not is not and necessarily is not", ie, parmenides.
chetty: no such thing as 'most people'
mircea_popescu: now, the reason the quote is factually incorrect is pure godel. what you imagine as "simple" is only simple because you're using an unsimple language. otherwise, if you face the problem directly, it's very complex.
gabriel_laddel: shit catch up with them and we end up where we are today - nothing works and everyone insists that it does because they've bought into a lie. As for "is both factually incorrect and a very poor premise", thank you, will update.
gabriel_laddel: e effect of "linux devs are idiots and I'd like a judiciously defaulted gentoo please". The question is, at what point does this become something that you (or others ben_vulpes, mod6, asciilifeform etc have already wasted time derping with gentoo) would pay for? People pay for (what they see as) quality software - sublime text makes money, as does
gabriel_laddel: story time: I ran into loper-os after a stint programming clojure as a day job. I ended up getting evicted for playing around with CL instead of paying rent. I got another place, found trilema+#bitcoin-assets and... got evicted again. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (historically this is the EXACT contribution of the artist to the world, your "I have lived in a river of shit my entire life" or as jourdain put it, "i had no idea i was talking in prose".)
assbot: Logged on 11-04-2015 19:58:13; ben_vulpes: "Regular expressions cannot respect a language's syntax (detect false positives short a full parser)" << this strikes me as a special case of the "cannot simulate a universe without a universe" claim.
mircea_popescu: fake meaningless numbers processed as if they weren't. fucking fiat mindrot
gabriel_laddel: as is git
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Is the argentine legal system as derpy as the rest of the country?
mircea_popescu: "From this point forward it is assumed you have set aside some time to learn Masamune and need no justification for as to why any particular abstraction has been chosen." << so is this a cult then ?
mircea_popescu: as in, urmom ?
mircea_popescu: can't say as i do...
BingoBoingo: So, as of a few hours ago this laptop is nao on its 4th cooling fan.
asciilifeform: as far as eye can see.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as a boy, i took a 1200km train ride. nothing but birch.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hard to trust a tree that struggles to live twice as long as a dog << brings up a point re: another tree. in ru, folks traditionally are fascinated with the huge birch forests. but consider, birch is a short-lived 'pioneer species'
decimation: english 'liberty' as founded in the magna carta is just repeating asperations until they become true
decimation: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/05/nicholas_vincen.html < "The myth, even as early as the 12th century, that the English are freeborn people--it's a load of nonsense; they come from Troy; they are the exiles from ancient Troy defeated by the Greeks: they go off and they found this kingdom of England from which they eventually get a king called Arthur. But they are a freedom-loving people. They live under liberty and freedom. Of
BingoBoingo: It's just... really hard to trust a tree that struggles to live twice as long as a dog
asciilifeform: decimation: failure mode - as with most mechanisms under the sun - is from operation outside of envelope.
trinque wonders if there's such a thing as reproductive suicide, biologically speaking
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: after christianity (and possibly mithraism before it) pushed this notion as far as the pedal would go, for 2k yrs, big surprise ?
asciilifeform: where believer is invited to picture himself as blind from birth street urchin etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: the fantasy, like magnet, has opposite pole of 'body exchange hell' as well as heaven
mircea_popescu: depression incumbent then is resolved as a "yes but my REAL SELF has not come yet"
mircea_popescu: because if you can't, you ain't buying it. and if you ain't buying it, might as well take the 2nd.
decimation: yeah but as trinque pointed out earlier, the socialist state has the advantage of 'cheap coordination'
trinque: watching the phuctor story unfold as a bystander, it really opens ones eyes to the... call it participatory nature of a totalitarian system
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 14:32:14; mircea_popescu: instead of parading them naked through the streets with a "i was a fucktard and am now sorry" thing around their neck, they let them sit around for twenty years coming up with reasons as to how their idiocy "wasn't really all that bad".
decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1140388 < note that her 'Nordic system' is simply derpy marxism that was recycled through the us as 'progressivism' and then indoctrinated by harvard circa 1945 ☝︎
asciilifeform: same while as feeds 1
funkenstein_: "Major thirds move quickly around the 53-note circle of fifths, because of the decimation chosen to give preference to the fifth as representing the smallest change."
AdrianoOliveira: as it is not the case anymore, they are loosing interest on bitcoin
decimation: I donno, it seems to me that as long as any money is going into bitcoin, the 'price' relative to fiat is going to increas
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 14:30:35; mircea_popescu: for as long as the free herring still lasts, they can run around derping about how they meditatively comprehensified the deep secrets of the universe.
trinque: BingoBoingo: https://wiki.debian.org/Subkeys << clear as mud
Apocalyptic: I suppose it's the same as the master one though, so this situation can't happen since e is itself a prime
Apocalyptic: and as such there is no private to even begin with
ascii_field: Apocalyptic: as a general rule, an rsa modulus generated without regard to rules (primality testing, pollard-rho, the lot) is cheap to factor.
trinque: heh sqlite always comes up as "not fast" in conversation
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as a retest
mircea_popescu: we blessfully don't have 2~!11 as a factor yet
mircea_popescu: yes, as it happens, oct.
Hasimir: alright then, take a crack at mine, same one as used with -otc and in my /ns info
ascii_field: btw, re: random numbers as moduli: https://primes.utm.edu/howmany.html#pi_def
Hasimir: as all the president@whitehouse.gov ones prove
Hasimir: you only deal with rsa, you only claim to have rsa priv keys, but you list dsa/elgamal keys as broken ...
Apocalyptic: ascii_field, as the poeple whose key you're listing probably didn't craft it this way, it's very probable that it's further broken, yes
Apocalyptic: but the key is still as strong as my original
ascii_field: given as the bulk of the samples consist of the owner's own moduli with every other 32-bit word doubled (overwriting its neighbour) - the amount of 'crafting' appears to be minimal. in this particular case (there were other breakable keys.)
ascii_field: afaik the only possible point of crafting these -was- to disseminate them publicly as spurious copies of the real thing
ascii_field: and see what happens when one actually tries to verify the signature with 'magic' key (and its bizarre composite mega-exponent) as reference
scoopbot_revived: frantic activity as a defense against impotence - with poop! http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2015/05/20_frantic-activity-as-a-defense-against-impotence-with-poop.html
Apocalyptic: anyway mircea it was just to say that in this case I would call it factor only if modulus is totally broken into primes, something i've referred as full factoring, otherwise not much you can do
ascii_field: and give some plausible deniability, as we saw, at least works on idiots
ascii_field: the result is essentially same as using a random integer as a modulus
Apocalyptic: someone "factors" it, finds the 3, but the key is still as strong as the sane one you started with
mircea_popescu: notrly valgrind's problem, this. if system reports it as allocated, it's allocated as far as its concerned
ascii_field: 'Unpaid Intern is, as the byline properly describes, an unpaid intern. Unpaid intern is a fresh-out-of-school, wide-eyed journalism grad who thinks one day they will make it to the New York Times. In the meantime they are stuck here, so they better get used to it.'
bitstein: "Mr. Lawsky, who has spent his entire two-decade legal career in government, plans to open his own firm and serve as a lecturer at Stanford University, people briefed on the matter said." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/21/business/dealbook/benjamin-lawsky-to-step-down-as-new-yorks-top-financial-regulator.html
mike_c: found the original article on nyt: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/21/business/dealbook/benjamin-lawsky-to-step-down-as-new-yorks-top-financial-regulator.html
ascii_field: as in, the one sold to iran 'against sanctions' with boobytrap included
jurov: dunno why the haven't attached flea legs instead, would work same as vtol
ascii_field: not as i understand
mircea_popescu: section 3.5 - "some servers in our scans used Java's DSA primes as p,
ascii_field: (conventional machine on runway is just as vulnerable as 'hoverer')
ascii_field: anyone know a winblowistic implementation of pgp ? as in, actually using microshit's api
ascii_field: sorta the mental equivalent of a crowded hard disk. not quite same as senility
ascii_field: 'Just as long as you actually know what you're doing, this sort of arrangement increases the costs of attacking your setup astronomically...'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1139742 << eh, the mit. about as relevant for tech as uzbekistan for banana pies. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Hasimir mind giving a self-intro for they such as myself that apparently know you from 3rd parties but otherwise not ?
mod6: lol, they used to have this "rabin-miller" function in the first import of gnupg (as so it's dated) that takes a paremeter "MPI n" and then does nothing and returns 0; http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;f=cipher/primegen.c;h=07d83d8314d8588e4f425a4d171fc41ebb3be4a9;hb=5393dd53c5e06f0458949217317601b2eaed8350G
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1139680 << speaking of this, am I the only one nonplussed by all this "we use <<best practices>> fixed exponent" bs ? it's an unavoidalbe magic number , okay, but it's tyhe sort that should eminently be a knob for the user. a proper gpg would have e user-settable at the key generation phase (with 65536+1 as a default, sure) ☝︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2014 20:41:18; asciilifeform: ght run as follows: Today we've got a friendship evening with shit-eaters', or Today we're having some shit-eaters to dinner. Prepare a suitable menu'.'
mircea_popescu: instead of parading them naked through the streets with a "i was a fucktard and am now sorry" thing around their neck, they let them sit around for twenty years coming up with reasons as to how their idiocy "wasn't really all that bad". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: for as long as the free herring still lasts, they can run around derping about how they meditatively comprehensified the deep secrets of the universe. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: b) god hath moved on, so now five centuries of hard labour and being basically as dirt-poor and pan troglodytus as the russian mujik.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ru lags as usual, https://threatpost.ru/2015/05/20/otstavit-paniku-4096-bitnye-rsa-klyuchi-ne-skomprometirovany
asciilifeform: davout: i cannot comment re: whether 20th anniversary thing censored any of the goodies from 2nd ed, or added nonsense. but it strikes me as likely.
asciilifeform: as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-05-2015#1135161 ☝︎
asciilifeform: davout: i was wondering same thing, as you might expect. anyone got an ancient copy of pgp for winblows handy ?
asciilifeform: (such as 10x speedup, new tests - e.g., pollard-rho; etc)
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: postscript suffers from precisely same problems as pdf (which is, after all, a minor variation on the former)
mircea_popescu: kinda left it as it is so people can independently check.
mircea_popescu: dja want me to publish the actual archive as spit out by the test ?
davout: but these are keys that simply -declare- this as an UID right?
adlai: isaackl: banners such as http://www.btcalpha.com/bitbet/1128/ad.png linking to eg http://bitbet.us/bet/1128/?ref=1Egc5vkin3zemK4rAP8Vj3gnpg4XrK55Tg
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-05-2015#1139747 <<< i dunno but i think anything grown in your backyard has you eating as a king, not a poor pleb ☝︎
ben_vulpes: as with dance, sex, wine, etc. skin in the game as a prerequisite for competence.
