mircea_popescu: your first doesn't lead
to your second, so which do i admit,
the first or
the sercond ?
mircea_popescu: what do you mean "it doesn't work" ?
this presumes an alt-universe in which
there are alternatives, so
things could not work.
the world
they inhabit knows no such
thing, and so... of course it works.
mircea_popescu: just like
the retarded 17yo who
thinks she's a supermodel perceives peoiple walking down
the street as "her audience",
the redditard generation will perceive everything as sigint rules. because...
that's
the only
thing
they can do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo
this is entirely a subjective problem.
mircea_popescu: we got slutmint and yekutzky can go on writing about what gangrene said
to liberty valance or w/e.
mircea_popescu: so you're stuck with slutmint. no matter what fucking happens, it's going
to have been a story about how "we" definitely need more slutmint, and all
the
time and resources spent in
the past on slutmint was a good idea.
mircea_popescu: he'll have
to fucking walk on streets and
talk
to people and non-aspie shit like
that.
mircea_popescu: if you decide
to fuck whomint, where
the fuck is harry poter fanfic boy going
to find money
to pay for his groceries ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's
the long and
the short of
this story : you got
two whores, just like in
the chemistry and agriculture story. one's whomint,
the other's slutmint. you gotta fuck either one or
the other.
they both have very specific, life altering constraints.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: The Express? ill-defined sources appear
to want
to
tell a story about SIGINT succeeded rather
then explain how it is
that SIGINT failed (at least accor ding
to
the story getting
told publicly).' << doh.
mircea_popescu: tbh, i don't know
there exists material more intellectually objectionable
than
the shit pouring out of
the usg.
mircea_popescu: it's you know... kinda important. seeing how
they didn't
title it "a particularly braindamaged misimplementation of ozone air purifying"
mircea_popescu: yes well,
the epa idiocy was not finding
the room, among very usefully distinctive verbiage like "Healthy people, as well as
those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed
to ozone.",
to specify
this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the idea is
to
treat air with ozone in an ozone
trap.
mircea_popescu: the smelly parts are particularly susceptible, incidentally. both aromatics and sulphide
types.
mircea_popescu: i am certainly not
taking any advice from
these morons.
mircea_popescu: obviously,
the reference is broken, because "We recently updated AIRNow.gov". and apparently
they
think
this is how you say "we've recently brokenb airnow.gov"
mircea_popescu: "The same chemical properties
that allow high concentrations of ozone
to react with organic material outside
the body give it
the ability
to react with similar organic material
that makes up
the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage
the lungs (see - "Ozone and Your Health")."
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 20:32:25; jurov: ^ as per above, it does not affect organic molecules. just numbs
the smell cells, I guess.
mircea_popescu: and it'll make it fucking impossible fgor all
the retarded "Women in internet"
to make a living at
their usual scams, marketing, pr, whatever.
mircea_popescu: will make "get big fast" fucking impossible
to get revenue on, because all
the customers you want are not going by marketing.
mircea_popescu: sure. but as a matter of principle,
the naive 1990s hippy "here's a
thing i found, i am using it now"
thing jumped
the shark.
mircea_popescu: be it google or apple, it can fucking rot. everything will have
to be reimplemented.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they have shat
the stick, so
to speak. no further usage of anything unless it's in
the wot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah,
that entire "oh, let's use someone else's stuff because it's stuff and why not"
thing is dead.
mircea_popescu: adlai> i guess everything's clonable, << what's
this, progress hour ?
adlai: i guess everything's clonable, so
that's
the wrong analogy
to make; physical unclonable items would be used for authentication ('thing is as i remember it'), shared secrets are used for secure communication
pete_dushenski: adlai
the cool
thing about everything nonphysical is... its nonphysicality ;)
adlai: the cool
thing about nonphysical crypto is
that you can generate unclonable objects
together with a physically separated party
mircea_popescu: if you have a 5km pad with 1 letter per 1.1 cm on average, from 1
to 2,
then no.
mircea_popescu: more like cracking rsa : for
the
techology
they had at
the
time, absolute security.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
the problem becomes similar
to "crack
this otp"
mircea_popescu: crpto, 3k years ago as
today : if naively implemented,
trivial. if not... well.... ahem.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu asciilifeform could also be variable
taper
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i mean is,
that you need
the volume
to be defined by
the same angle all around
the center. ie, you need a baton
that can be
turned. whereas in practice
they'd use unturned batons.
jurov: in 2009
there was only epsilon
jurov: unless we can endlessly argue
that monopoly is not optiomal outcome for its owner
jurov: if
the "perfect bot" ends up with less
then complete monopoly,
then it's non-prefect by definition
mircea_popescu: (the
thing you folks call stadium in english an' stadion in french :) )
mircea_popescu: adlai you are making assumptions about
the length of
the parchment.
adlai: it leaks information about
the message content, even if you don't get
the full
thing
adlai: the scytale cipher is equivalent
to drawing a long
table with six rows (adding columns as needed), and writing out
the message
to fill
the column;
then all
the letters are jumbled. but
the letters remain unchanged
adlai: pete_dushenski: let's say scytale diameter is em/2π, ie
the message has six 'rows', and each sextet of letters on
the wrapped paper corresponds
to a column
mircea_popescu: adlai "packets" "data within", what is
this, we make up words day ?
pete_dushenski: adlai being ignorant of
the difference between rearranging packets and jumbling, can you expand ?
