mircea_popescu: this is what i say : reconstruct the original two "primes" of which at least one wasn't ; then see which of such items have in fact low primes as strong liars.
asciilifeform: btw if esthlos ( or anyone else, anywhere ) knows how to aks on 2048b primes in nongeological time, i'll happily port their algo to ffa, even if original is in cobol
esthlos: mircea_popescu: right now I'm most comfortable in scheme, but I want to change that to common lisp
esthlos: mircea_popescu: alright. I've been thinking of writing a v implementation following http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-participate-in-the-affairs-of-the-most-serene-republic/
mircea_popescu: esthlos i'd love for you to be able to jump straight into this ; however there's some groundwork to be laid. look into the V system, because ideally you'd be presenting the finished item as a patch on diana's eucrypt lib. and asciilifeform is working on and publishing a final FFA which is what we intend to use here.
asciilifeform: i very muchly recommend that all n00bs, regardless of skill, follow the www tutorial
mircea_popescu: what i mean by "review copy" ; last complete item
asciilifeform: and no i have no intention of dropping it out of schedule
asciilifeform: this is tricky business because i changed a great many things, ch1-3 is in many ways incompatible with the old item
asciilifeform: matter of fact, it is. unless there's been a serious advance that i slept through
esthlos: I don't have anything specific in mind
mircea_popescu: do i get a closed set to pick amongst ?
esthlos: mircea_popescu: is there a preference on how I compute totient?
mircea_popescu: http://yves.gallot.pagesperso-orange.fr/src/aks_gmp.html << supposed c++ impl ; though i have nfi who gallot fellow is. ☟︎
esthlos: i was acquainted with him
esthlos: mircea_popescu: if I can. what is it?
mircea_popescu: and yes i'm aware damgard extensions and whatnot, but not impressed.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I think this might be worth made into a knob in the code explicitly
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 16:34 mircea_popescu: or more properly speaking i suppose, can you v that thing so phf can then not plop into his ever-growing lisp visualizer because it's not written in lisp and tee hee ?
BingoBoingo: <sofiababy> i duno how to pronouse << It's purely phonetic, Except when it's not.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, i myself wasn't making a current bitcent an hour until sometime after 2010. ie, quite recently.
mircea_popescu: and as bonus lulz, we'll never know whether i would have actually paid the whole length or not.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: oh i understand this, i also understand how fist fits in cunt doesn't mean i'm not entertained from time to time with the concrete item

sofiababy: i didnt refuse
sofiababy: its a month latter i think
mircea_popescu: no, i'm just cultivated.
mircea_popescu: or as the orthodox tradition says, "durerea-i ziditoare"

sofiababy: i think i am actually
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
sofiababy: i saw something about prostittion
mircea_popescu: which is why the whole "men will do anything to get some" social fiction, with it's attendant "surprises" of the thoroughly fabricated sort, "i can't believe far far away somewhere in like japan they don't". gotta mask the bitter truth that ~woman~ will do anything to get some. literal anything.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 02:01 cazalla: sofiababy, no, stopped watching twitch after it was inundated with gamer girl camwhores, but i read they do well sparking up league of legends, chatting to virgins and getting them to donate to their patreon
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:52 cazalla: i bought a bottle of that reserva, was nice, i still prefer bundy rum (although the one i like can't be bought now)

mircea_popescu: or more properly speaking i suppose, can you v that thing so phf can then not plop into his ever-growing lisp visualizer because it's not written in lisp and tee hee ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am hard pressed to think of any kind of tradesman ( outside of, i suppose, walmart gulag ) who has ~less~ to show for his years, than the typical tech d00d
mircea_popescu: through the following mechanism : "Has it only been four years ?!?!?!?" asks the boy. "I think I aged less than that's worth", ie, "good use of my time", ie... a derivative sort of youth elixir.
mircea_popescu: looking retrospectively, i suspect the great lure of "tech" such that "boys turn to tech, girls turn to poundcake" is in fact that if well done, tech seems to be the closest thing one has to fountain of eternal youth.
BingoBoingo: Next Friday one of the other enterprises is throwing a "Welcome to Uruguay" welcome asado for the gringo, which I should be much more awake for than the end of the year celebration asado they threw at the cowork which coincided with the day of my arrival.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, now that business is baking I'll be touring the datacenter tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, if this were a hotel and I were paying hotel prices... the minor for hostel structural and chinche issues would not be so easily dismissed, and there would be wrath
mircea_popescu: i agreed like five lines above!
BingoBoingo: *7 persons, I am the 8th
ben_vulpes: i thought it was cute!
ben_vulpes: and now for something completely different: http://archive.is/IEa6u "I have always been fascinated, and a little troubled, by the concept of paper money, or fiat currency. If I think about it too long it makes my head hurt and I have an urge to sell all of my tech stocks and buy gold."
mircea_popescu: which is why towlie of "i have no idea what's going on" southpark fame is very much interpreted as human-like.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was cute.
phf: hey i also just wanted to watch my movies
mircea_popescu: "i know, let me put this resource in four fucking places because that's why it's called ununiform resource locator"
mircea_popescu: the kay interview ? it's from this large pile of "items of interest" i go through when in the mood.
phf: well, also misparsing, because i didn't make it clear that franklin stove is not a буржуйка, there's a simpler u.s. item that corresponds though (can be found in e.g. faulkner)
mats: i never heard of a kr with the name wong
mircea_popescu: i dobn't get it, you READ the orc langs but don't hear them ?
mircea_popescu: lol. can't say as i ever had.
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i can't hear you over the sound of my poliglotism.
asciilifeform: i like mplayer . 0 idjit windowisms, 'decorations' etc
asciilifeform: i dun have any quarrel with the original
shinohai: I use https://mpv.io/now, has API so u can stream from pogo ala asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: phf: nah not particularly interesting to me, i got out of that gox early q2 this year, but sfyl
mircea_popescu: shall i also ask what movies you want to watch ?
mircea_popescu: "why are you biting out of a turd ?" "fortifying self for trench time, i hear sometimes people there have to drink piss"
asciilifeform: i have even sadder item , re subj , dedicated chinese pogolike thing for watching film on. it dun even go on the lan. just eats usb drives.
phf: but also mircea_popescu's assessment is correct, i'm tampering myself before i face the insides of difftools
mircea_popescu: phf i use vlc. i prefer to sacrifice a box to it than waste anyone's time thus.
phf: asciilifeform: i want to watch movies! i figured i can do better than a close source vlc package, apparently not
asciilifeform: phf: i gotta ask : 'why'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 03:01 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is this suit on file somewhere ? i'd luvv to read
mircea_popescu: "i don't know any people in power, why would the guy hiring me"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1753228 << "how did you become a great physicist ?" "well... first i became a moderately-great physicist, and then an above-moderately-great physicist, and then..." ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "i ate a lot of shit to come this far" is a fundamental problem. they CAN NOT go slower, and lower. and they CAN NOT hear anyone telling them to. you understrand why ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is this suit on file somewhere ? i'd luvv to read ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'm still surprised it wasn't handled su-style -- i.e. by not marking to begin with
asciilifeform: i know what they sell to them. worked with the asian phd folx who got diploma for washing glass, 'first step to...' various.
mircea_popescu: now, i didn't happen to give a shit. but think what they try to sell to these unfortunate kids.
asciilifeform: i found interesting that blondlot continued leading 'institute' of his 'n-rays' until he died. lived for ~decades~ after wood raped'im
mircea_popescu: no. physics stuck in ditch because smart people have fallen into a sort of sartrean hell, very much equal parts Кто ты по жизни? and "how do i know i exist"
asciilifeform: so i take it mircea_popescu leans to 'physics stuck in a ditch post-ww2 and after that inevitably ceremonial and staffed by priests' ?
asciilifeform: i'm not equipped to map this item onto the other
