He described this campaign as an example of an online campaign conducted entirely using free services like Wikidot and Google groups. Some new keyboards are starting to drop the Caps Lock key.

mircea_popescu: ascii_rear in general, but mind the peculiar way he is using it. merely there to hide metadata from the people who don't have it anyway

mircea_popescu: ascii_rear the backport works right now, for trinque's use for instance. shivatronic, tomorrow.

mircea_popescu: ascii_rear> most civilians i've introduced to vtronics had problems with, initially, this << the problem here is that the only reason why is not obvious is because of issues in the reader's head, and a general treatise to address all possible personal issues can not really be made.

phf: ben_vulpes: man is anyone from X3J13 still alive at this point? << probably better question, who has died, because the majority of the people form the committee are still alive. http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/cl/dpANS3/chap-0-edit-history.tex has an almost complete list of 104 ("These are attendees from minutes back through 3/88"), of those i recognize about 40, of those ~~10 i've been in touch with in the past year and another ~~10 are

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how is it disambiguated from $2, which is the dir input to diff?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes just hashes the file content, what ?

ben_vulpes: ^^ asciilifeform, mod6, phf, polarbeard, mircea_popescu: if any of you are willing to explain the inscrawkutable vdiff to my maleducated self i'd be much obliged

ben_vulpes: (also ascii_rear i am having trouble understanding how vdiff turns $2 [which i'd expect to be the dir] into individual files for hashing and writing into the vpatch)

ben_vulpes: ascii_rear: i recall reading in the log that your vtron's implicit pressing behavior is asciibetical up to indicated head, but i'm having trouble reconciling that with other reqs i once read: that vs press longest chain, and also that vs press all usable patches. would that accurately modify to 'longest chain up to indicated head'?

mircea_popescu: lettuce instead discuss isis. http://40.media.tumblr.com/91ff21b4a51443b40d0859003cb21d0b/tumblr_mt0j1rGPz21qlne6uo1_1280.jpg

ben_vulpes: ascii_rear: ah.

assbot: Logged on 07-02-2016 00:25:13; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mod6: if pressing is intended to be curated by patch selection in the patches dir, seals in the sealsdir and keys in the wotdir, why does "press" need to take a head?

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: is this return to copying of loglines instead of referencing the log an attempt to make life easier for the future archaeologists by not polluting the global threadspace?

asciilifeform: still wanna play ? mircea_popescu can put the 10 in snsa piggy, if he wishes. or we can let the matter rest.

asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu ~think~ would happen here.

asciilifeform: but for some reason mircea_popescu understood why this is lunacy, ~then~, but not now?

asciilifeform: funnily enough, last year there was some derp who shat into mircea_popescu's comment section with 'otp doesn't work because rng might burp out N zeros and then what'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu finds a coin on the sidewalk.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is looking at his rng bias.

asciilifeform: all i see is that mircea_popescu won 32 games of coin-toss with himself.

mircea_popescu: (i used mt_rand, whatever that's worth)

asciilifeform: this is elementary, and if mircea_popescu comes back and tells us that he had been drinking, i will believe him, and happily forget the whole thing.

asciilifeform: the mircea_popescu side of the game can only be won if 1) rng is biased 2) he knows how

asciilifeform: i invite the curious log reader to play the game mircea_popescu proposed with single bits, with a friend

asciilifeform: incidentally, the main reason i'd like a referee, is so that everybody knows that my random 'pads' were generated independently of mircea_popescu's challenge strings.

punkman: mp must guess how many of the 100 ciphertexts are made from the string ""mircea_popescu: long, deeply biased plaintexts are dangerous for otp.""

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has to demonstrate greater-than-chance telepathics

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu generates two files, we're playing coinflipsies

asciilifeform: then we just learn that mircea_popescu can break sha!

punkman: other variant: ascii makes 100 otps, makes 100 plaintexts, X of which are the string "mircea_popescu: long, deeply biased plaintexts are dangerous for otp.", then passes 100 ciphertexts to mp. mp must guess X withing some range.

asciilifeform: 4) mircea_popescu tells me which of the 100 it was.

asciilifeform: 1) mircea_popescu generates 100 files, 1MB (1024^2 byte) in length each. gzips, signs, deedbots.

asciilifeform: it has to be with mircea_popescu generating the magic strings, because this is how he said he will carry out the telepathy - by selecting specially-crafted biased input.

asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu want a free 10b or not.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the output bits - the lot of them - is necessarily as entropic as my key.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can use whatever alchemy you like...

asciilifeform: so, for this variant of game, algo would be 1) mircea_popescu generates his string set, signs, deedbots; 2) i xor'em, sign, deedbot at first only the signature; 3) i post one of the xor'ed strings 4) he telepathies which one 5) i reveal my hand, which is the tarball in step 2 6) if he wins, i lose 10b, or vice-versa

asciilifeform: if there is one otp key, and it gets used two or more times, with mircea_popescu controlling the input and knowing anything whatsoever about the output, he learns the key trivially.

asciilifeform: the way i read it, the 'if' is whether mircea_popescu can demonstrate convincingly higher than chance guessatronics.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the if

asciilifeform: anyway i will play if experiment is specified such that mircea_popescu has 100:1 or less odds of winning based on pure guessing ('telepathy')

asciilifeform: i will ~happily~ play with mircea_popescu if he insists on betting against arithmetic...
