asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a completely textbook case, aha, of 'we pulled on the duct tape and after 2 tonnes of pull it comes off'

a111: Logged on 2018-10-28 05:02 mircea_popescu: i have 0 expectation it will do anythingf besides create a lot of idle wank in "law enforcement" circles.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 15:04 mircea_popescu: there he sits, remote in hand, "checking to see if there's anything interesting on the tv". are we ready to entertain him yet ? or does he come back later ?

a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 15:15 mircea_popescu: Mocky how are you enjoying the emissary extraordinary and plenipotentiary gig btw ?

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> anyway, it's fucking lulzy to me how the dumb shit always comes back to "psychic unity of mankind" nonsense. << Well, in this case I don't see how Hegel isn't the daddy

a111: Logged on 2018-10-18 18:51 mircea_popescu: Mocky i actually distinguish between smarts (the reductive ability, that powers "i suspect there's no such thing as intelligence", and typified perhaps best by d. kyon) and "intelligence" (the constructive ability, that powers "more loc, more tech, more future", and typified perhaps best by "fm-2030" ).

a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 05:57 mircea_popescu: does this resonate with any familiarity in ye olde phracking and telco or nothing there to resonate with ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didn't say it was 'same thing', yes it comes with the grandfather of all shitstacks (20+GB of liquishit) . it's for simulating designs, not for deploying ( why wouldja deploy anyffing on such a thing, it makes cluster of pc look vehehery cheap and 'opensores'y by comparison )

asciilifeform: Mocky: sounds like exactly what mircea_popescu was speaking of. see if allah wills that he shows up to his desk.. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get pingbacks from these nonstop. tho more often they're shannonized 'miner' sites

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depending how you cut it, varies . e.g. my 'eizo' has a 'byteness' of 14 bits ( per channel )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for so long as you can fit in $process -- yes entirely same

a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 06:16 mircea_popescu: now, do you see how these magic numbers are nothing else, and if producer wants he can make 19, 4435 or whatever bus and register cpus FOR THE SAME COST ?

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that sounds close to "and then goat ate the wolf"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shot with , roughly, the item from conan doyle's 'the empty house'

a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 04:47 mircea_popescu: http://mocky.org/Qatar-Financial-Center/ <<< top fucking keks. really, arab don't keep appointment ?! this is some next level shit, never heard of it b4.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 23:10 mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file then. though he prolly wants the ~config~ file to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because there's no such thing as a terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my text in a way that's aware of his dumb terminal. and he thinks this acceptable, somehow, that at the time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 15:44 mircea_popescu: now, a 4096 bit native fpga, specifically for rsa-ing and rsa-likes-ing, THAT might be very useful, because there the s-o-d item is major win.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 22:38 mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with their minister of technology, industry, or whatever the fuck, explain to the secretarial overseer you end up seeing that the republic is in principle willing to do some tech transfer help them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set the bozo bit on the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending to be a country ?

Mocky: good morning mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would like to get sense of what is thought 'obscura' tho, my obscura may or may not be trinque's obscura, etc.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 01:26 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869361 << ~none. let the heroes participate by bringing their obscura into the fold.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It was on the defaults. 2 GB rockchip and while not a trilema sized blog, bigger than most on mp-wp

a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 18:03 mircea_popescu: actually i bet you the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1868721 fellow would love nothing more than to do a template design for hire.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 03:07 mircea_popescu: so to have closure, i suppose http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763975 should read "80 cols plox what is this"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll admit that curious why you ended up flipping on earlier http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764721 ☝︎

asciilifeform: hanbot: apparently this is mircea_popescu's prescribed answer

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: diana_coman's are already 900+

asciilifeform: mechanically-reflowed proggy suxx to read, i can tell that mircea_popescu spends ~0 time actually reading ( as in, go offline for whole day to read 1 proggy ) coad.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i use printers, and aint about to stop, it's part of my code-eating workflow.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind that it ain't 'text', tho, it's a proggy, the line is a semantic unit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu like to horizontal-scroll ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how wide is your terminal ?

Mocky: mircea_popescu, I've spent the day going over and cleaning up my outstanding notes to date. I have 6 blog posts that will be dropping the last of which is my evaluation of where I'm currently at with this thing.

asciilifeform: i'ma log out, this one will have to go to sumbody else, mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eggog: Request parameter error and (if by hand) 'user name does not exist'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll do it, gpggram coords

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu earlier emboldened asciilifeform into a 'let's slow but working rsatron sooner, rather than eternal massage, why not massage later' approach.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: non-usgistic fw for ye olde 'edgerouter' box. asciilifeform has a duct-taped version in use locally, mircea_popescu had idea where it gets cleaned up and offered to e.g. pizarro for packet-filter

a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 20:48 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of "taking suggestions" : suppose you bake me a proper drop-in gpg replacement. in ada, constant time, does FG-aware keygen, signing, verification, and encryption/decription. 100% rsa, none of the "cipher" bs as per current.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's in the pipe, directly behind http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868640 ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 22:04 mircea_popescu: pico!

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they say it may take as much as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ? << I'll think about it a bit more. I'll double check the math, but if the transfer is 5 weeks out that still leaves us a margin of safety from the month of guarentee put up when service started.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's actually a return to 'vhs era' barbarism, prior to at&t breakup they also leased pnoje , could not buy )

asciilifeform: lol hey at least nao mircea_popescu knows that i feed'em to him as i get'em, instead of sitting on'em

a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 18:09 mircea_popescu: it does ~seem~ to be weaker than my own intel indicates, but fuck that spot.

asciilifeform: ^ diana_coman , mircea_popescu -- conclusion of series.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-31 23:18 mircea_popescu: diana_coman http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1867935 << he;'s got a solid point there.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 17:25 mircea_popescu: this notion of "be anyone" etc is entirely fabricated, out of the venom of mother inca and the overactive brains of idle smart boys. nobody agrees with it, nothing agrees with it in practice, it never is nor ever was nor ever could be found in nature... it's like you thinking santa claus is real.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 03:57 mircea_popescu: (somehow the femtards never seem to figure the fucking obvious, "agreeing to be nice" can only possibly result in folger's friendship and no genuine anything to be had anywhere.... god i fucking hate 'em.)

billymg: mircea_popescu: not at all, i was amused myself when i put myself in your shoes and read my messages as "how does the what go into the who now?"

billymg: mircea_popescu: happy i was able to provide a bit of light entertainment

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: soo asciilifeform had a bit of sleep and wakes up and turns out the serpent thing has a twist ending

shinohai: Greetings mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: erry once in a while when planets align , these dickens chars step out of the page and actually do sumthing, neh

bvt: mircea_popescu: acronym from my name

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: once we have the basic variant going, can then take some of the slowbite out of it with asmism etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: happens to be exactly what i set out to; on top of that, even got a gpg extractor (currently in py, but slated for adaization) , precisely for same ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 18:39 mircea_popescu: a shop of used computer parts is a great complement for a dc op.

asciilifeform: early trb , for instance. i had nfi how to cure the db locks thing until mircea_popescu supplied the pill.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at all times i try to keep some reserve of unallocated spade cycles

asciilifeform: while we're on subj, mircea_popescu had a pretty interesting observation in '16, 'the boecks were rousted because we're on to sumthing, but we dun know precisely what yet'

asciilifeform: at any rate not proposing that i single-handedly uncalibrate mircea_popescu , i suspect that other folx contribute, lol

asciilifeform: pretty much errything i do is spade, mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform: sometimes i suspect that i threw mircea_popescu's 'how hard is $problem' meter out of all possible calibration, given as very often when asciilifeform posts a thing, it is result of year or two of experimentation; and on other hand if i put ~all~ of the intermediates and dead ends into the l0gz, there'd scarcely be any room for anyffing else

asciilifeform: the simplicity and reducibility-to-factoringishard of rabin is appealing, and wai not bake in advance so as mircea_popescu yr later doesn't 'why didntcha!'

asciilifeform: ( if mircea_popescu dun need it, i'ma bake it anyway, it's imho a great demo )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you actually need it, i'ma bake it

a111: Logged on 2018-10-30 19:50 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok, how about this : let K being the key n bits long (say 512), and let f(x) = 2 * K[0] * x ^ n + 3 * K[1] * x ^ n-1 + 5 * K[2] * x ^ n-2 + 7 * K[3] * x ^ n-3 + 11 * K[4] * x ^ n-4 +...+ 3643 * K[n-2] * x ^ 2 + 3659 * K[n-1] * x + 3659. f(x) will produce a pile of bits, this pile is cut in half and xored together, the result is cut in half again. one such half is returned as the prng output ; the other such half

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw here, if we must, is an example of an injective key expander that is physically possible, but requires an exotic object : a rsa pub that nobody has the priv to. then can 'hash-expand' by rsa-enciphering message to it.

asciilifeform: ( if mircea_popescu can, i promise to read )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm actually ready to believe that we're finders of actual find, rather than 'quimby is laughing'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm moar of a coroner than oncologist.

asciilifeform: i dun work for prizes, medals, mircea_popescu knows this. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i ( and afaik nobody else ) actually put substantial effort into playing in yer tourney

asciilifeform: if tomorrow i tell mircea_popescu how to build death ray, will rage, 'why didntcha back in '98' ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from your pov, find is obvious ? ( if obvious, why are we the first to find it ? )

mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu> as much as you have now, could have been had then! for, literally, 1-2 man-days, at teh most. you dispute this ?" "<asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: nope. couldn't" "<mircea_popescu> sooo! what portion of this do you dispute ?" "<asciilifeform> that 'could have then' "

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you have my word that i did not sit on 'ceiling tiles', posted immediately when got'em.

asciilifeform: say tomorrow mircea_popescu finds out that factoring is in P . will rage ? at whom ? what if he finds it himself, without any help ?
