nubbins`: <+pete_dushenski> No longer shall
the egg shell be made from delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. It will instead be made from disgusting, foul, vomit-inducing “standard cocoa mix chocolate”. <<< you
think
that's bad? get
this: in
the usa, cadbury chocolate is manufactured by /hershey's/. and
they don't even get
the milk from jersey cows.
mircea_popescu: they're not NAKED.
they're in
their jimbo blessed underwear.
pete_dushenski: mebbe "bitcoind pogo afficionados" is near
the
threshold for obscurity
pete_dushenski: is
there nothing unworthy of having a conference about ?
trinque: pete_dushenski: got
the "ssl everywhere" extension?
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck hijacks blog dns's ? and also... www just goes
to plain domain.
mircea_popescu: you must have some weird dns issue ? what's
the perceived ip ?
trinque: dunno
that
there ever was a
time where rule of law did matter here; I'm neither old enough nor educated enough
to say
trinque: in my lifetime
the perception
that rule of law is either real or honest seems
to have been fading
mircea_popescu: trinque kinda why sane people don't
travel into rogue states without an army.
trinque: "looks like a cocaine running air submarine
to me"
mircea_popescu: "how come you have something" != "how come you
told us earlier
this income is extempt when it clearly isn't"
pete_dushenski: i was under
the impression
that every line had
to be explained.
pete_dushenski: it can't ask "what was
this line from
this person from on your bank statement" ?
mircea_popescu: it can do whatever
the fuck it feels like, with its own data.
pete_dushenski: "The CRA has broad powers
to investigate suspected
tax cheats. In
the process of conducting a civil audit
to assess how much
tax a person really owes,
the
tax agency can call up bank records, freeze accounts, compel
the release of business, payroll and other records, and root
through land registries and other government data." << sop
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 23:32:15; asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> who
the fuck explains
their income ? <ben_vulpes> in
the states, if
they
think
they have a case
they freeze your assets. << aha. sit on
the stake until explained, yes.
mircea_popescu: something like "always output 0 if
the previous 7th output was 1" or whatever ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, a biased source is a biased source. do you mean it's not actually biased, but
the bits are correlated ?
Chillum: that are not next
to each other
Chillum: my point was
that debiasing will not remove periodic patterns
mircea_popescu: in
the case of your lamp, it basically extracts phase
transition errors
Chillum: bias is only one
type of pattern
though
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: sounds like 'repositioning'
the creme egg in
the uk is akin
to 'repositioning' baby george's nose from his face
to his ass.
Chillum: I know
that algo, it removes bunching. It does not remove more complex patterns
Chillum: but if
the source is a lamp humming 60hz how does
the algo filter
the pattern from
the entropy without diluting
the entropy?
mircea_popescu: there's
this algorithm which consists of : flip biased coin
twice. if flips agree, one
thing. iof
they disagree, another
thing.
pete_dushenski: "The Cadbury Creme Egg was a rare
thing in
this modern age. Its subtle blend of delicious chocolate and sweet, creamy/cremey yolk was a
throwback
to
the days when chocolatiers
took pride in
their work." << right.
the
thing of which 500 mn are made per year, 2/3 of which are consumed in
the uk (no wonder
they have rotten
teeth), is "boutique"
Chillum: we were
talking about sound as a source of data
mircea_popescu: <Chillum> no amount of debiasing will create entropy from a patterned source << howdja figure
that one ?
Chillum: but
the egg
thing is bad
too
pete_dushenski: if a chocolate egg is unsettling
the balance, by golly bitcoin barely needs
to sneeze in
the uk's general direction
pete_dushenski: Are we really going
to swallow
this bad egg, America? For
that is what Cadbury has wrought. A bad egg. And
today will for ever be known as a bad day.
pete_dushenski: Already,
this egg announcement is
threatening
the stability of
the UK government. What havoc will
this monster wreak next?
pete_dushenski: The spokesman said
the new chocolate had been
tested on “consumers” – industry shorthand for “idiots”, clearly – and had been “found
to be
the best one for Creme Egg”.
pete_dushenski: No longer shall
the egg shell be made from delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. It will instead be made from disgusting, foul, vomit-inducing “standard cocoa mix chocolate”.
pete_dushenski: The day when it was revealed
that Cadbury’s Creme Eggs have changed for ever.
Chillum: hey everybody, we're all going
to get laid!
pete_dushenski: and so what if
they're all size 6 because
there wasn't more leather
pete_dushenski: "Women guaranteed at least 50% of jobs on Victorian government boards" << wd oz, get
those numbers up!
Chillum: I have a shirt
that says "I read your e-mails"
pete_dushenski: hey, we also know a guy who prints
t-shirts, don't we...
Chillum: Say I start creating variants on a 6hz
tone and create keys with
that
tool. I may just make
the same key as someone else who used it near a lamp
Chillum: if you have complete control of your noise source
then I suppose it would work
jurov: you can listen
to
the sample before using it,
to check whether
the noise is
there
jurov: and
that's not what debiaser is doing
Chillum: it all gets mixed
together
Chillum: the debiaser can't
tell entropy from pattern
jurov: and you
think since
there will be some hum, any entropy is lost?
Chillum: the results will be hard
to predict
though
Chillum: I
think you over estimate your ability
to create entropy with everday objects
jurov: or, as i have a window
to busy street, i used
that
jurov: crunching paper or cookies bag comes
to mind
jurov: but it's something you can control, such as making suitable noise while
the addy is generated
jurov: Chillum, I added microphone
to
the rng mix for similar rpi application
nubbins`: "things changed since, and both GNU and BSD recent versions of
tar have support for storing extended attributes.
They use incompatible formats"
decimation: I suspect
that
this is 3m's
target market

tinted Security films for cars,
trucks - 3M Scotchshield ... (

decimation: if an army of bears wants
to
target me, not much can be done
decimation: all I want is
to 'run faster
than you' away from
the bear
mircea_popescu: i wonder what % of said paraphenalia is sold
to protect your goods, and what % "ticket
to shooting your own guy!"
