bitstein: "Democratic state Rep. Senfronia
Thompson criticized
the company by saying
that 'it would have been wiser if Mr.
Tesla had sat down with
the car dealers first.' But
there is no 'Mr.
Tesla' involved in
the company, which is named after
the late inventor Nikola
Tesla and is founded and run by Elon Musk."

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: whoops, my irc chat wasn't scrolled all
the way down
mats: promoted
to head cocksucker. off
to DC!
ben_vulpes: probably wants
to spend more
time with his family
mike_c: no.. oddly vague about
that. doesn't seem
to be a firing.
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
jurov: it has
to land and reconfigure itself first
jurov: i heard f35 cannot
transition from hover
to forward movement
☟︎ davout moves
to set camp by
the mailbox
mike_c: I have 2nd. 20th anniversary looks like just a PR
thing? not different content?
BingoBoingo: mats: For some definitions of different (everything
the F-35 B&C do-ish)
mircea_popescu: mats f22 flies
tues,
thurs fri, and weekend f35 mon and wed ->
tandem ?
mats: they're intended
to fly
tandem in combat.
mats: BingoBoingo: well,
the F-22 and F-35 do different
things.
mircea_popescu: "In all
these instances, data reporting and processing rules were changed during
the year for no other reason
than
to paint a more favorable picture. Maintenance problems were determined
to be so severe
that
the F-35 is only able
to fly
twice a week."
BingoBoingo: The silliest
thing about
the F-35 clusterfuck is
the US had a decent somewhat stealthier plane in
the F-22 coming off
the line in flyable shape and... It was
too expensive. Nao it would have been cheaper.
mircea_popescu: =
the closed-source java blob
they're using actually reboots in flight
mircea_popescu: "Even in its
third iteration,
the F-35’s helmet continues
to show high false-alarm rates and computer stability concerns, seriously reducing pilots’ situational awareness and endangering
their lives in combat;"
mike_c: davout:gonna get
the schneier one
to get started << mod6
told me
to read
this, it is awesome. I feel stupid for not having read it sooner.
mats: "lets ignore
the guys who've been flying
the most dangerous air frames in development for
twenty years"
mircea_popescu: Defense spending analyst Winslow Wheeler concluded from flight evaluation reports
that
the F-35A "is flawed beyond redemption"; in response, program manager General Chris Bogdan suggested
that pilots worried about being shot down should fly cargo aircraft instead.
mircea_popescu: "In March 2013, USAF
test pilots, flying with pre-operational software
that did not utilize
the all-aspect infrared AAQ-37 DAS sensor, noted a lack of visibility from
the F-35 cockpit during evaluation flights, which would get
them consistently shot down in combat."
mircea_popescu: the F-35C
taking 43 seconds longer
than an F-16
to accelerate from Mach 0.8
to Mach 1.2
mircea_popescu: "the electronic edge F-35 enjoys over every other
tactical aircraft in
the world may prove
to be more important in future missions
than maneuverability" << check it out, it got wifi
ascii_field: (and i'm still at a loss
to craft a situation where gpg's p and q will occupy varying number of 'limbs' and lead
to catastrophe in
the given line)
mircea_popescu: (p, q, g); we conjecture
that
the confusion between
these formats led
mircea_popescu: sequence (p, g), while
that of DSA parameters (coming from PKIX) is
mircea_popescu: usability problem:
the canonical ASN.1 representation of
mircea_popescu: generator g ...
This substitution of q for g is likely due
to a
mircea_popescu: but mistakenly used
the DSA group order q in
the place of
the
mats: osprey's not doing so good so i guess
they decided
to experiment more with f-35.
ascii_field: the attempts
to do away with it - make sense
ascii_field: the need for runway is an ancient annoyance
to airplane folks
mircea_popescu: maybe i miss something, but why do you want a plane
to helicopter ?
mats: short
take-off
to hover.
mircea_popescu: except of course by 10k we mean "can get up in
the air at least 10k"
mircea_popescu: so 2.5k planes of 2 missiles each.
the chinese only have like 10k
mats: mircea_popescu: has been built. lotsa videos around of it doin
the hovering
trick.
mike_c: depends what you consider
the
thing. I mean, an "F35" exists, and some
things on it work..
mircea_popescu: "undergoing
testing and final development by
the United States"
mike_c: <isaackl> Yes. Increased utility of bomber planes, USD would buy more << hm, how does
the utility of
the F35 compare
to how much has been spent on it?
mircea_popescu: dude, i remember
the
time back in 2012 when
the pressure cooker wasn't on yet and all sorts of people didn't appear retarded.
ascii_field: the lost world of winblows pgptrons, closed-source crypto, etc. will have
to be vivisected, likely
mircea_popescu: 25 ppm occurences can very well be a
tiny pore in an otherwise solid implementation.
ascii_field: well aye, but
traditional gpg built for mingw doesn't do
this
mircea_popescu: "Some widely deployed RSA implementations choke on big RSA public exponents. E.g.
the RSA code in Windows (CryptoAPI, used by Internet Explorer for HTTPS) insists on encoding
the public exponent within a single 32-bit word; it cannot process a public key with a bigger public exponent."
Hasimir: I returned
to playing in order
to make a good habit of it by
the
time senility struck in order
to stave it off ...
then discovered
that years of IT logic paid off in unexpected ways
Hasimir: mircea_popescu,
take up chess, it helps keep you sharp(er)
ascii_field: sorta
the mental equivalent of a crowded hard disk. not quite same as senility
ascii_field: conan doyle in
the 'sherlock holmes' stories described
this
mircea_popescu: senile dementia is
this sad situation when you recall what you said but not exactly nor where.
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...'
Hasimir: mircea_popescu, well, listing a hundred and something frequent posters
to gnupg-users with
the statement "we probably have your private key" does imply a certain degree of breakage
ascii_field: 'how
to airgap, practical guide' i
think it was.
Hasimir: mircea_popescu, a ref.
to a particularly hard-line stance
taken by some people on gnupg-users
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 16:13:53; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you remember where
the fuck is
that discussion about how a good hardening approach is
to deviate from
the
toolset
the attacker might reasonably expect
to find is ?
Hasimir: though it it
turns out
to be
the "you must all use openpgp cards" crowd I will laugh and laugh ...
Hasimir: no, not seriously,
there's a big difference between some bunch of people with crap entropy sources and rsa being borked
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 01:19:10; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so i walk into $redacted on monday and folks compare me
to pons & fleischmann. so
there'll be
teasing, yes.
Hasimir: assuming rsa isn't screwed by
then, of course ;)
Hasimir: it's currently in a branch of git.gnupg.org/gpgme (to be merged with master when I finish cleaning up
the last of
the ancient examples)
mircea_popescu: Hasimir mind giving a self-intro for
they such as myself
that apparently know you from 3rd parties but otherwise not ?
Hasimir: meh, 2.0 is such a waste of
time ... 2.1, however, comes with all manner of entertainment
