assbot: BitBet - Phuctor will find a bad key :: 0.02 B (2%) on Yes, 1.08 B (98%) on No | closing in 1 week 1 day| weight: 94`192 (100`000

danielpbarron: ascii_field> next we will find mircea_popescu writing cheques for 'pi' like knuth << or making bets
that refer
to it
ben_vulpes: the language having nothing
to do with quoting prices for btc
transactions.
mircea_popescu: no, it should
technically be 3.1818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818181818
diametric: shouldn't
that
technically be 2.82
ben_vulpes: aha, i've only ever used
the bar over
the periodic part
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes maybe you're not aware, but
this is old style notation for periodicity.
ben_vulpes: no, first
they were scratches in
the dust ancient lispers used
to identify each other
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: it's a very dirty kludge
though
BingoBoingo: Browsing various .edu domains for keys
to submit I noticed
there's a span from roughly 1999
to 2005-8 where DSA/Elgamal keys were way
too popular
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: would you share
the code for splitting
the gpg dumps up?
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough,
this is very much like its own sort of blockchain syncing.
the 4mn addies were created over 40 years or so. we can catch up in a year, by which
time... more will have been created.
mircea_popescu: downside being, of course,
that we won't have any sort of usability in progress.
mircea_popescu: do it in sets, maybe ? because positives are so rarely expected,
take n numbers, gcd
them all in pairs,
then gcd
the n/2 pairs
together, etc.
mod6: ascii_field: ahhah, it does say it in
the Email Subject. derp.
ascii_field: the above is
the one kind of parallelism meaningfully possible here
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i
tell you we might have
to find a way
to parallelize
this, because as it is, it'll prolly be
too slow.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: in principle, one can do clever
things
to weasel out of
the cache problem - such as setting max product size and gcd'ing said parcels
together
ascii_field did not
think
there was any ambiguity in his reports
assbot: Logged on 07-05-2015 15:19:45; mod6: asciilifeform: just
to be clear, all of your vagrind runs against bitcoind are: v0.5.3.1+Orphanage_ThermoNuke ? Or just plain v0.5.3.1 ?
danielpbarron: he said he'd pop in here later, although I suspect
that one wasn't actually him (someone else clicking
the custom url)
jurov: won't it get slower over
time as gcd grows?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it does not, but im figuring : since
the queue is not ever empty, it's a good measure for actual processing
assbot: Logged on 07-05-2015 16:22:53; mircea_popescu: sheit... 38 minutes, 258 added. at 6/minute
this is going
to be 18 months ;/
mircea_popescu: it's also wrong because you don't actually need
the millions
mircea_popescu: the "millions" mike hearn derps about aren't only broken because shit, we're worth billions, even if he personally isn't worth
two spits.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the exercise is interesting because it puts a ceiling on costs. doing a mathematically intricate, non-parallelizable
task over ~the entire space of gpg keys~, all 4mn of
them, is < 10k usd.
ben_vulpes: at least it's not just sitting
there depreciating anymore.
mircea_popescu: sheit... 38 minutes, 258 added. at 6/minute
this is going
to be 18 months ;/

ben_vulpes: i halfway expected a philosophical
tract on capitalization and blogs
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: why do you capitalize IRC logs on
Trilema?
mircea_popescu: because guess what : smegma is just as natural a byproduct of
the sexual organs, of
the other gender. and washing it off is certainly as novel bla bla as shaving
the cunt.
mircea_popescu: reading old
trilema articles (
http://trilema.com/2011/sa-belim-pula/ ) i'm suddenly illuminated : all
the empowered feminist derps
that bitch about how having
to shave
their cunt is wrong, novel and bla bla : how much smegma do
they eat in
the average week ?

lobbes: hmm, I
think I get it; 'I experience something,
therefore it exists.' Assumtion not really necessary for
the experience
mircea_popescu: lobbes does
the proposition
that having
two children each off
two different women equal having four children
total have
to accept some sort of assumption about "the
twu nature of numbers" ?
mircea_popescu: god knows
they do enough of
that nonsense even without any help
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah. wouldn't want random dude in a band
that drinks
too much read
that and with his usual superficial comprehension skills decide 1% of keys are broken or some similar shit.
lobbes: but in
terms of verifying events with own eyes, I do see
that point. Not even possible in certain cases
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo for
the record, "and found 60 with one or more duplicate moduli." is maybe misleading. it merely found
the same key in multiple places, it hasn't actually cracked anything. << fxd
lobbes: everything else builds off of
that
lobbes: this is
true. But even with
the other senses, you still have
to accept
the assumption of 'an outside reality'
mircea_popescu: plenty of people making a living at
this. in fact,
three card monte exists specifically
to exploit
the
thermodynamc gradient created by
the "own eyes" meme/mental parasithosis.
mircea_popescu: your eyes are a particularly weak check, especially if it is known you will be relying on
them exclusively.
lobbes: no, just seen em' on
tv
lobbes: and
then
there's solipsism
lobbes: unless witnessed with own eyes, can't really verify one way or another. Of course, you can say
that about any event
mircea_popescu: (and yes, in
the 2000s,
the finance ppls are
the army.
the grunts on
the ground - roughly speaking cleanning crews)
mircea_popescu: who exactly in
the usg do you
think is or was served by wiping most of
their army ?
mircea_popescu: this firm is in its sorry state
today because it was mostly wiped in
that attack.
mircea_popescu: cantor fitzgerald's been in
the news recently due
to
their vice chair's fraudulent shenanigans and separately due
to
their general incompetence and gross mishandling of OPM.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron
the problem with
this is
that
they could have picked much less expensive, more impactful
targets.
lobbes: danielpbarron: you
think it may have been an 'inside job' by usg? I have heard
that pov from others,
too
from_vice: Well it's been swell, good luck with
the
taking over
the world with superior quips. Now where did I park my car??
mod6: asciilifeform: just
to be clear, all of your vagrind runs against bitcoind are: v0.5.3.1+Orphanage_ThermoNuke ? Or just plain v0.5.3.1 ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: from_vice it'd seem your notions about what a hologram is are informed more by southpark
than by physics.
danielpbarron: well i'm pretty sure
the
towers existed. I saw
them with my own eyes on a
trip
to NYC
mircea_popescu: heh,
the benefit of modernity. no event is ever going
to co-exist with a consensus interpretation
thereof.
danielpbarron: i question whether
there were actually planes
that hit
the
towers
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron do you call emergency line and
tell
them
truths ?
from_vice: You sure
this isn't a 911
truthers' forum? I have some
thermite
to sell
nubbins`: from_vice you're not far off
the mark
there
from_vice: Oh I see, you are from
the evil overlord master race, all makes sense now
nubbins`: altho generally
they start with "hashish?" and follow up with "massage?"
mircea_popescu: a right, we haven't fully colonized nubbins` yet. much like canada, he hangs on
to antiquated forms
that perpetuate
the routing and interfacing differences in our society.
mircea_popescu: and if i
take
to
the streets of marakesh,
there's about one in
three chance random street urchin will suck my cock hoping for a hundred. what of it.
nubbins`: there's about a one in
three chance
that
they'd publish an article you wrote for
them about bitcoin.
nubbins`: now you're just making
things up ;)
mircea_popescu: fetlife is hiring, vice is hiring, erryone's hiring. we might even make
the gdp go up
mircea_popescu: nubbins` can you imagine
the increase in demand for competent web engineers we've caused
this year alone ?
danielpbarron: i had
to change my other links
to bit (dot) ly
things because of it
