asciilifeform: hey at one time asciilifeform was a stereotypical 'HAVE you tried PLUGGING it IN ?!' sysop. and it was most of the time... the correct answer
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 07:02 mircea_popescu: earlier today i heard from soem guy complaining about "how his job sucks", because he got moved to a new projkect for 3rd time past month, and it's such a waste because now he has to reload whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's a trivial case where the observed property would be necessariyl true, what.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interestingly india co having no advertised u.s. presence is apparently a rarity
mircea_popescu: "a boyscout is a kid dressed like an idiot under the orders of an idiot dressed like a child."
asciilifeform: it offers the crud it got via mothership, for no less a price than what mothership prescribed
mircea_popescu: also there's not a huge crime rate driving "inseguridad", also there's absolutely no market for uber, and so fucking following.
mircea_popescu: but for the record, the notion of "a full rack" WITHOUT a c block is laughable.
mircea_popescu: failure is not a possible end result here.
asciilifeform: possibly it is not even possible to drill through the biofilm without a wot in.
mircea_popescu: orlando, florida co. and exactly biofilm not dc, as a separate concern.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the custom in india appears to be 'death by nickel and dime', 'here's a toilet, if you want paper that's extra'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ahahaha /29 Subnets ?! what the fguck is wrong with these people. the dead dulap had a c block. the dead other server idem. what the fuck already.
mircea_popescu: romania never actually had a guild in the sense seen now in the us ; not even during the ceausescu times.
mircea_popescu: ftr : the "bus depot jokes" are not an equivalent here. they are crass, which is to say employ a certain drastic sort of romanian. but otherwise "balada pizdei" was written by topirceanu, "povestea pulii" by creanga, these are all "intellectuals" ie of the literary canon.
spyked: mircea_popescu, re comment, had no idea this happened. I'll admit I haven't followed him (digested a few, such as the "ma fut in ea de ploaie" piece), so will review.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the world of brittardation lulz: https://archive.is/bkkm7 >> 'Home Secretary Amber Rudd will say those found guilty of repeatedly viewing terrorist material could face up to 15 years in jail. The new law will extend an existing ban on downloading and possessing the content on a PC to repeatedly watching it through sites like YouTube. Ms Rudd said: “I want to make sure those who view despicable terrorist content online
mircea_popescu: phf it's good that wired uses https to protect its readers. for instance it protected me from reading or archiving it, which i estimate to be a value add. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if anyone managed to forgot just what a midget assgirl is, https://static3.mansionglobal.com/production/media/article-images/38367d66455c44d0c18fa3cf29c8e834/large_tay.jpg
spyked: mircea_popescu, will drop him a line when I have some text to show him (will ofcourse ask for your gracious feedback first)
mircea_popescu: spyked silviu gherman could do it, if anyone ever told him to. and by told i mean a certain thing, which brings us right back to "cow's milk will be wasted without management with enough sense to milk it"
BingoBoingo: <davout> former customer of mine is apparently in the process of putting together a DC there << What would international connectivity be like? Would it be a repeat of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-06#1721926 (datacenter in vietnam) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 02:14 asciilifeform: but i'd rather see a cleaner method where it happens via the usual phf backarrow
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-07#1680305 << https://www.wired.com/1996/05/gassee/ a '96 wired article about bebox (but more so about Be head, Gassée), the article is framed by a gratuitous road trip from palo alto to black rock desert (i.e. burning man site) hot springs ☝︎
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723282 <-- spyked puts this on the list; http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723300 <-- pretty good, but the gestures, still untranslatable. are there any good anglo comedians who can do a drunk these days? ☝︎☝︎
spyked: btw, the recent discussions re schengen are lulzy (basically a rehash of the old ones, plus-minus the talks about "refugees" etc.). which brings back that old piece http://trilema.com/2013/no-seriously-not-much-of-a-priority-anymore/
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-08#1723083 <-- this is a sad truth, also at individual level. incidentally makes very easy to sift through the chaff of non-thinking ppl. ☝︎
davout: former customer of mine is apparently in the process of putting together a DC there
davout: "A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill."
mircea_popescu: earlier today i heard from soem guy complaining about "how his job sucks", because he got moved to a new projkect for 3rd time past month, and it's such a waste because now he has to reload whatever. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: lol, that's a well circulated copypasta
BingoBoingo: The commisioner a bureaucrat.
BingoBoingo: The league is a bureacracy
mircea_popescu: in which case, i suspect federation rules requiring all black players wear a yellow star and apologize for being there before every game have even odds next year.
mircea_popescu: iirc, they've all been struggling for economic relevancy in the past decade, if this even vaguely proves itself as a mass movement the whole shitshow's canned overnight.
mircea_popescu: (sauce is http://www.schnada.de/grapt/eriknaggum-xmlrant.html a particularly poorly/amusinglyt supported broadly correcy but shockingly idiotic in particulars rant)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dja know that koan with the two monks, meeting a woman at a bridge ? "please, one of you, fuck me! fuck me!" she says. one of them recoils in disgust, the other fucks her, then they continue over the bridge.
mircea_popescu: "SGML is a good idea when the markup overhead is less than 2%." << holy shit check him out. that's... a lot narrower than i'd have guessed.
mircea_popescu: let them. contrary to what they may think, success is actually a liability.
asciilifeform: concrete articles show up, on a good day. by-group, or text srch, or date -- none
mircea_popescu: post a "loading" overlay.
mircea_popescu: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!banned/topic/comp.text.sgml/LWMT9ibAoDQ << google ai has in its wisdom replaced all of comp.text.sgml with a warning.
mircea_popescu: it does have a little yellow pig-thing stamp for cuteness.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/ErikNaggum_LUGM98_DKL.jpg << berkley back when it could afford actual plates. a short 30 years ago, at that!
mircea_popescu: i suspect chinese has a helluva lot of these.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 15:49 mircea_popescu: (because of reasons discussed in http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ socialisms can't have categorical terms, defined in the normal manner, but must always include the ethical color of all words in the words. so "movement" becomes either provocation (bad) or progres (good) and so following for everything, stalin's cup is named by a different cupword than hitler's self-same identical cup)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, wikipedia : "Erik Naggum (June 13, 1965 – June 17, 2009) was a Norwegian computer programmer recognized for his work in the fields of SGML, Emacs and Lisp. Since the early 1990s he was also a provocative participant on various Usenet discussion groups.[1]" << accidental hit of the consensus process, because "provocative" seemed both sufficiently insulting to the idiots and actually flattering to the fanbois.
asciilifeform: you do though, just put this url in a `foo line .
mircea_popescu: experience convinces me that anchor-first is correct way and the url-first html spec a kludge./
asciilifeform: ah so yours was also a onetime command ?
asciilifeform: parse a cut off url ?!
mircea_popescu: logotron can parse them into sense, at a further cost.
mircea_popescu: ager appealing just as i find an <a href=http://trilema.com/2017/little-miss-pretty/#selection-247.0-251.710>oversubmissive</a> overinnocent lawyer appealing."
mircea_popescu: i imagine the sane way to represent "outlyers are interesting. i find an `overcompetent:http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ teenager appealing just as i find an `oversubmissive:http://trilema.com/2017/little-miss-pretty/#selection-247.0-251.710 `overinnocent lawyer appealing." in html is via the usual anchor mechanism, as "outlyers are interesting. i find an <a href=http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/>overcompetent</a> teen
asciilifeform: but i'd rather see a cleaner method where it happens via the usual phf backarrow ☟︎
mircea_popescu: evolvospec, for the record, is not a spec, exactly in the manner a bad girl may be great fun to be with but notrly a wife.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe we can push a year 0 on the misfortunate kind hearts trying to follow this evolvospec.
mircea_popescu: somehow he manages to need much much less hammer to hammer in a point, for which i confess to admiring the man.
asciilifeform: and would need a 'year 0' where old logs before time T dun get parsed by tagfinder
mircea_popescu: however, as a chat anchoring convention i could actually get myself to do it, as that's 99% of what i wish i could do and currently can't, frustrates me once a week with some regularity.
asciilifeform makes a http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/bnsZv/?raw=true and then notices that it not only is always off by smallint, but there is no way to fix, because the carries from the ( not used for anything else ) bottom halves of the muls, now are lost .
asciilifeform: ( conceivably on a box with smaller cache, there could be speedup. )
asciilifeform: or hm, there's gotta be a mistake in my test, bbl
asciilifeform: there is a missing term
asciilifeform: and large multron is made of a quantity of half-sized ones, they - half-sized again, and so on.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-08#1723064 << gcd does not need a karatsuba, the karatsubatron can be doing something else while gcd happens ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 20:12 apeloyee: why not lak waht's already public: the list of small primes. that' not a compromise.
mircea_popescu: sooo... just had a lightning so close, made the landline phone ring.
mircea_popescu: from what i hear they've a new model now.
mircea_popescu: sadly, nobody had the foresight to fuck them with a spiked pole then.
mircea_popescu: http://www.beatmort.ro/aberatii/internalnote.php << in ancient lulz, rather related to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691973 ; this was genuinely a major piece of ro internet culture late 90s, when ustards started to "invest"/move in. ☝︎
asciilifeform: not to mention that we do not have such a thing as a small integer.
apeloyee: why not lak waht's already public: the list of small primes. that' not a compromise. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i.e. every time you write down a '+' that's a minimum of 2N LUTs used up, that cannot be used for anything else, where N is the operand width )
asciilifeform: understand that in fpga 'secret shift' is NOT a function that can be 'called', but a physical object that gets instantiated, using thousands of cells, every time you use it.
apeloyee: what, the small primes are a secret?
asciilifeform: and doesn't even stand a chance of fitting in fpga.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 21:48 apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721485 << alternatively, can *construct* numbers which don't have very small factors. pick a nonzero remainder mod 2, mod 3, ... mod largest-prime-fit-in-your-primorial and find what number of primorial is congruent to it using chinese remainder theorem
asciilifeform: but hypothetically it may even be possible to ffaize bernstein's tree. or even to do it in such a way that doesn't wipe out the cpu winning from it. and even possibly to prove that it works and doesn't leak bits and doesn't let composites through once in a while.
asciilifeform: why the hell should i keep random crud in a table to pick up later.
asciilifeform: because i'm on a chip with 32kB of memory, say.
asciilifeform: ( in our concrete case, r, a random , and p, a primorial -- for the pre-mr litmus test )
a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 21:28 apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721485 << i thought bernstein's "how to find smooth parts of integers" suggests a remainder tree, not gcd?
apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722400 << hey, I offered you an idea for GCD. you: "it stinks". I point you to bernstein ( https://facthacks.cr.yp.to/batchtrial.html ). you: "it stinks". maybe GCD is not a sane option ofter all, eh? ☝︎
asciilifeform: when i say 'week' it does not mean on a particular test.
apeloyee: anyway, I was saying that, if spending a week, may spend a small fraction of the time on the supposed-deterministic test
asciilifeform: situation where rsa is breakable, but no one can yet break it, makes it the sane option . because alternative is to become a donkey fucker ( rely on face to face for all comms , hope that nobody invents listening bug, etc )
asciilifeform: problem is that the historical period where crypto was a contest of bullet vs armour, rather than 'absolute bullet exists'/'absolute armour exists' is not over.
asciilifeform: people offering a (3) are sellingsomething.
asciilifeform: but in light of this, a correct rsatron is still one that stands on nothing BUT the assumption that rsa is hard.
asciilifeform: ^ to rephrase, we don't actually know if hard problems exist as a hard law of nature.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform convergence on it is much narrower than mn tries or w/e a week provides.
mircea_popescu: if your expectation is that the fifth attempt did not resolve the problem in a manner such as the fifth million would, there's deeper problems.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: i don't actually see how 'test for a week' is crackpottery when speaking about a key that is intended to stand up for 50 years ( or longer )
mircea_popescu: "not a root of 1st degree polynomial with smaller parameters than it"
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is a fine statement of what a prime even fucking is.
mircea_popescu: no, i get it. you want a prime index function.
apeloyee: doesn't run in geological (e.g. saxena) time << if you have faith in generalized riemann hypothesis and correctness of work on deterministic miller test - you have it. I don't, but running test for a week is imo greater crackpottery than believing in that.
asciilifeform: i'm not aware of a fully deterministic test that doesn't run in geological (e.g. saxena) time
asciilifeform: and moreover for long-term key genning, imho a week or longer probabilistic primality test is not inappropriate.
