to make your MacBookPro go
to sleep forever. XXXxxx

time it sees 4294967297 and - naturally - stops
there
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155952 << it could be made
to mill finer but only with addition of particular apparatus. which can just as well be added as a standalone different mill being fed
the prequalified choice grains. so let it be, we get
to it once
the world fails at doing anything useful with its
time yet again, in a year or w/e.
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 14:25:34; asciilifeform: if it is on account of some imperfection in
the design, however minute - different matter
mircea_popescu: (and
the shumitsu aka pearl of honesty was, at
the
time,
the head honzo)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shockingly enough,
the muryokoin in muryokoin.org is a...
temple in koyasan
shinohai: I can see
the advantages of a from-scratch board
tho. I have seen various forms of
this with arduinos, et all. But
that leaves open
the possibility of
the hardware you are building on being compromised.
shinohai: At risk of sounding stupid, are
these rng boards meant
to generate keys in an airgapped manner, safe from
those who are
trying
to break/weaken encryption?
mircea_popescu: if
they run with it, a well. what's called a write-off.
mircea_popescu: this is a business, not a
tech decision.
they've not run with a hundred, can be
trusted with a k.
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as
they seem
to replace duds, i
think we can expect.
mircea_popescu: an you judge
that ordering a few boards
to produce a few prototype cardanos is not useful data ?
mircea_popescu: nobody forces
them
to use em if
they're broken, but we gotta know.
mircea_popescu: yes yes but
the sapper doesn't get
to contemplate his fate for
too long and remain a sapper.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, who wants
to do buy me ~1k worth of parts with
this outfit ?
mircea_popescu: i dun see it. how do
these people get paid anyway ? paypal ? or what is it ?
mircea_popescu: i can arrange for
them
to get a wire, what's
teh big deal.
mircea_popescu: you know, seeing how
they seem
to replace defects etc, it would not be
the end of
the world
to blow a few btc on just ordering
that half dozen as is
mircea_popescu: so basically, you're preparing a more mf-friendly board design (mostly
to improve
testability) and intend
to have
them
try make half a dozen or something ?
mircea_popescu: well if
the rng is 30ish and
the board 100, we could easily expect 3^2
that many defects in
the board.
mircea_popescu: so, didja mean a fedect free batch ? or else did all
the items meanwhile
turn defective /
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 06:16:02; mircea_popescu: yes, moduli
that it flags should be put
through a proper factorization.
this is a
task a) separate from what phuctor does and b)
to be done indepentently of what phuctor does.
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 06:19:43; mircea_popescu: in unrelated but more interesting news, it's been pointed out
to me pluriously by now
that
http://trilema.com/2015/no-such-labs-snsa-may-2015-statement/ fails
to include some rather interesting points, chiefly what about
the rest of
the cardano, other
than
the rng ? has it been ordered ? is it
to be ordered soon ?

shinohai: Let's hop over
to reddit and see if I can make my head hurt
this early in
the morning.
cazalla: guess ya could put ya beer
there while ya bang her from behind
cazalla: what's
the hump at
the
top of her butt crack
though
shinohai: yw cazalla. I am generally good with it all, as long as it isn't "OMG it's COMING
TOWARDS US!"
cazalla: nice, i like em about
that size shinohai, maybe a little less but all good
mircea_popescu: and
to round off
the bellbottoms point from before : and all sorts of
things
that AREN'T stupidities, various
tiny gems ensconced in
the broader
turd get washed out with
the water.
mircea_popescu: dear world : fuck you. you will adapt
to every nook and crany of our
thought. ESPECIALLY
the really painful, apparently gratuitous ones. love, ~the "libertarians".
mircea_popescu: "The libertarian Bitcoinists need
to get out of
their bubble. Yes,
they created BItcoin, but it doesn't belong
to
them, it belongs
to anybody and everybody, and it simply can't live on existing as it did in 2013."
punkman: they get followed on
twitter!
mircea_popescu remembers a quainter
time, back when
to be a leader one first had
to be followed. a
time when "being certified" was another way
to say "being insane". stuff like
that.
mircea_popescu: to understand why,
think of someone making a map. he doesn't ask "does
this rock benefit anyone or may i just omit it from my map ?" because while
the
thing may not benefit,
the omission sinks ships.
mircea_popescu: you may never consider "the benefit" of design when designing, in
these
terms.
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 01:04:22; williamdunne: Would
there be any particular benefit
to
that in its intended usage? JSON/MsgPack/whatever all work fine with anything I can imagine being necessary on
the web
mircea_popescu: let's not confuse
the humanity we see reflected in
the eyes of
the beast with
the actual beast.
mircea_popescu: every stupidity's excused by youth, people genuinely
think
the 80s were cool just because
that's
the first
time
they got laid. people actually used
to
think bellbottoms look hot because
they remembered
them filled with round butts of
the fillies
they cared about, back in
that age.

trinque: williamdunne: on
the one hand
there's a superficial "did I make it do something, and did it 'work'"
jurov: it won't stop running soon. i have in pipeline some 1e6 rsa keys from github i'd like
to kindly bestow upon phuctor
mircea_popescu: let anyone with a clue (tm) do it
themselves, it doesn't
take much more brain
than what a chicken has
to cluck at
the freshly disturbed ground for
that's where
the worms are.
mircea_popescu: you don't include bakeries into wheat harvesters
to be driven across wheat fields, and you don't need phuctor
to do everything either.
mircea_popescu: yes, moduli
that it flags should be put
through a proper factorization.
this is a
task a) separate from what phuctor does and b)
to be done indepentently of what phuctor does.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: at
the
time phuctor was designed in 2013,
the idea was
that no keys could ever be factored. for
this purpose, phuctor as designed is exactly adequate.
mircea_popescu: lol you're in
the position of someone who made a moon exploration vessel, discovered life on
the moon and is now kicking himself for not having included a condom factory in
the ship.
