delan: mircea_popescu: grats
to you and loper on factorising hpa’s key
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> most she-haters i know are womenz. << girl last night pointed out
that all of her worst clients (she's a physical
therapist, deals with highly athletic folks coming
to
terms with
their now-reduced performance envelopes) are women
trinque: ok I fixed
the dieharder build on gentoo
mircea_popescu: you know
that's
to
this day one of
the most popular articles ? i dunno what's with
them ppls.
trinque: gotta already want
to eat a luger when you find
trilema :p
mircea_popescu: half
the "literate" population can't even read
trilema because "it's
too hard" and words hurt
their brain
davout: asciilifeform: just because something is easy for a guy with 200 IQ doesn't mean it's as easy for
two dudes with 100 IQ
mircea_popescu: trinque only
terrorists would want
to
test
their rngs.
mircea_popescu: tosoon dude. how fast do you
think
that can be deployed.
mircea_popescu: so in also newsworthy : between yesterday and
today
there has been a shitton of hashpower added
JPT: I decided
to read along a little since it got
to me
that some rsa keys were broken ;)
mircea_popescu: whether
that proves
the contrary, or for
that matter whether
the contrary needs any proof... exercise for reader.
mircea_popescu: was like "we have consensus and
therefore will delete your reddit
thread proving
the contrary. because
this will
totally work, you being some derps who depend on
the graham lulzatron"
mircea_popescu: what was it
that wiped an article badly leaving it still sorta-visible ?
trinque: jumped from #1
to #20 abruptly for me
davout: I was
thinking
time-decay algo
davout: HN now displays "Why Japanese
Toilets Are Failing in America (2013)" higher
than
this
☟︎ decimation: indeed. I'm off on a home improvement project, good luck with
the ramblig mob
that's gonna come by
mircea_popescu: and we'll have a pretty decent picture once phuctor's done walking
the set, which looks like a coupla months
mircea_popescu: decimation anyway, we'll know more / anything of actual substance once
the guy himself answers.
trinque: and probably
the portage
tree itself
decimation: well, I guess if you want your 'roster of people'
to be a combination of legal record and bathroom graffiti,
they got you covered
trinque: this underscores
the need
to archive /usr/portage/distfiles
trinque: ben_vulpes: you can always build a specific version provided
the ebuild is still available in portage by emerge =category-name/thing-0.1.2
ben_vulpes: trinque: how does one go about walking
the history of portage?
mircea_popescu: i mean, if
the claims is accurate, what's
to keep me from making anyone's sks profile 1 gb long ?
mircea_popescu: decimation doesn't
that stance open
them
to incredible ddos ?
decimation: apparently because of
their political stance (all gpg keys must be public and stored for all
time)
trinque: I'm
trying
to figure out why it wont build
trinque: incidentally dieharder has been busted in gentoo for at least
two months
decimation: doesn't
the sks server check before shitting public key?
mircea_popescu: now
that it has 3, 7, 11 etc in
the P it will find all
these.
mircea_popescu: it seems
tempting,
tho
there are sticking points. but in any case, as phuctor progresses we'll get a better idea.
mircea_popescu: this seems
the most ... "nothing happened, go back
to sleep"-benign
theory.
decimation: asciilifeform: so did
the sks server at one point accept anvin's key and
then later bitrotted it?
mircea_popescu: you can't fool mother nature. nevertheless, it is more
than happy
to sell you
the
tools by which
to fool yourself.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ben_vulpes a fine example of
the perils of "whitening".
davout: mircea_popescu: it'd be really interesting
to know, it's a gpg --recv-keys | grep skipped away
mats: asciilifeform:
this in particular wasn't new
to me but nonetheless i shared
mats: asciilifeform: as a new dog i must learn old
tricks
ben_vulpes: i am not as malbec immune as davout
thinks
mircea_popescu: davout
tis on
the list of
things
to do, but it is a long list
mircea_popescu: and
then, as
that's ripped out, some
tests will find
the entropy not as good
davout: asciilifeform mircea_popescu is
the same 'skipped' behaviour observed when importing
the second broken key?
ben_vulpes: so if
the device randomly cooks up a control sequence
that will get ripped out?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'caltrop' << how does
the
tossing of control bits affect output?
ben_vulpes: * BingoBoingo
though doing an honest assessment finds a person who can reasonably keep up in a lot of #b-a convos but who can't program for shit. And honestly...
training
to
trade punches seems much easier
than learning
to program on any level approaching asciilifeform, ben_vulpes, and mod6. << you could catch up
to me in rather short order
mircea_popescu: "The results I worried about, millions of children running Windows on
the OLPC, have not occurred. Instead we see millions of children running Windows on
the Intel Classmate."
mircea_popescu: freelance journo/whatevs. doubt
there's sponsors in
the classic sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol dude's story is
that he's replicated
the results of phuctor since late march ?
assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo:
the buggers'
traditional defense is
to pretend
that
the event was a non-event - or, if
this is impractical,
to continue living in an imaginary world where
they 'scooped'
the story first, and all of
the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what exactly is
this, ft meade damage control ?
