mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's scandalous ahistorism. the man ate ~like a monk.
mircea_popescu: (more fully visible, this evolution, in china. communists, rite ?)
mircea_popescu: ironically, romania's communist party had made the socialist republic very very far from the "sacred ideals". usg much more worthy of the S than rsr ever manafged to be.
mircea_popescu: (but the above, there is mention made of eg, emperor going out into the pridvor, ie peasant style veranda. cuz he must've had one. and so on. how could a house be without ? esp if rich enough ?)
mircea_popescu: in a sense. yes, there's a certain purity in ignorance.
mircea_popescu: the ro folklore imagines the emperor's court as a sort of larger peasant house. i have no doubt ceausescu imagined all others as a sort of "people from village i have known"
mircea_popescu: i do not believe the man had any sort of comprehension of the world outside the sheerest anachronism.
mircea_popescu: had no idea of eg the man's letters, as they weren't in the 3rd grade manual. or of anything else.
mircea_popescu: not at all. he had the most cursory familiarity with the man's work, of the exact sort as might have been pounded into a trades apprentice during basic schooling by kingdom efforts.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt he understood alecsandri as anything else. "a writer", yes, like a sort of newspaper man ++, a young mark twain, maybe talented, his paternal job being to "make available circumstances to development".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to get back to teh ceausescu lulz : he describes vasile alecsandri (a rich, old boyar who also wrote poems, very much like say pushkin, massive landholder etc. but ceausescu discusses his work in terms of oyu know, "this journalist kid from the 1800s, did his job, wrote for the people".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sometimes i get this feeling like he's trying to discern if we're idiots.
mircea_popescu: ah you meant in his thing. yes it still applies, he shaves a further half bit is all.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee from 11(2045 bits unset)1 to 11(2045 bits set)1
mircea_popescu: once you decide rsa is based on mult, you decide to take the mult leak.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee because this is a mathematical leak, it's not avoidable properly speaking. multiplication is not a neutral op wrt the tails of the multiplicands. but leaks.
mircea_popescu: even the shoddiest 2011 scammers produce ~perfect "bitcoin business opportunities". hence the popularity of scam-investment.
mircea_popescu: might actually be an interesting approach to the whole "hash evaluation" problem.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the return 4; hash is the ~only hash function about which we can say with certainty that no inverse exists.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee great hash. always yields 4. unbreakable. what's the problem ?
mircea_popescu: in fact imo the "prime hash" is a textbook example of "worst hash ever".
mircea_popescu: a hash where output x is y times more likely than output z is not a hash. it's a fash.
mircea_popescu: your "prime hash" is not equiprobable, worst fucking hash ever.
mircea_popescu: we're still not clear on "The needs this wrench helps". so far very much blender-toilet. "maybe someone somewhere needs to make turd batidos"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the correct solution to this "quickly, prime this many bits long" is a n, k tuple which contains n as the bitsize and k as the "oddness". if you want the n - 396 k = 5 prime you get 2^396- 1229
mircea_popescu: there is no such correspondence. there's more n than log n
mircea_popescu: if you want an n bit prime calculate 2^n and substract the correct small integer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's much faster ways, such as the 2^x - y method.
mircea_popescu: enlighten me, what does this wrench perfectly legitimately ever do ?
mircea_popescu: "but mp, rats don't reproduce by eggs" "And why do you have to thank for that ?"
mircea_popescu: there are some primitives you don't wanrt to keep around,
mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone wants some chocolate/coffee/whatever mp-approved products shipped lemme know ima send you a batch.
mircea_popescu: and i just appointed a new crown provider of chocolate. you should see this thing, so endearingly evidently hand-made copy of "how a chocolate looks" when hershey makes it...
mircea_popescu: in other domestic tranquility news, just finished stuffing a mason jar with baked peppers. they have some FABULOUS kapja peppers here.
mircea_popescu: for exactly asciilifeform 's reason : shorter this way
mircea_popescu: except we're currently defaulting e's no whatever, 65537
mircea_popescu: so your model is, i have your pubkey, and encounter an item signed by that N, with a specific e that's included in the signed text ?
mircea_popescu: but a signature signed by a pubexp i didn't have PRIOR to the receiving of the signature is definitionally worthless.
mircea_popescu: "oh the numbers are wrong". yeah, im sure they are. and the tractors invented, and the working the fields with oxen and horses and wives pre 1940 calumny, perhaps. hurr.
mircea_popescu: and he has the numbers : right here, where we happen to be, i ~know the name of the local lord~, and his numbers : 600 to 2209, he says. and what is teh retort ?
mircea_popescu: dude has the audacity to ask for "a ballet on the topic of having finished the kolohoz-isation". you know ? at least asks the right fucking questions, even if nobody in audience has the mettle to make answer.
mircea_popescu: the 1965 and 1968 items absent, but pars pro toto this shall have to do.
mircea_popescu: after a stenograph of 1971 (aug 4) meeting at Mangalia (Neptun).
mircea_popescu: im totally finding this, motherfucker, im sure i saved copies on trilema somehwere PRECISELY for this conversation
mircea_popescu: i read piles of ceausescu transcripts, they're all exactly nowhere. 1968 meeting with the writer's union ? really, NOT EVEN THAT ? 1965 may 19th "who wants a seat in helicopter" one ? nope ?
mircea_popescu: dude it's incredible how fucking useless the internet is.
mircea_popescu: humiliation is definitionally "in the terms of the idiot"
mircea_popescu: yes i select my whores. but once i selected what may be promises, i humiliate her, i don't fucking kill her.
mircea_popescu: see, this is the problem : selection and education are different.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz that's what the mediocre intellect has decided upon.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo hung with ~nobody. didn't even fuck around, married a 25yo whore 9-year whore, stuck to her 50 years.
mircea_popescu: ideally, it's a "hey, check out how your stupidity #1 contradicts your stupidity #2, what do you have to say for your stupidity that isn't throwing a hissy fit ?"
mircea_popescu: it has to be "mrs pantsuit, where's your having won the presidency nao ?" at the lowest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nope. the problem with the mediocre pretending to "intellectuals" is they've agreed to only hurt physcologically.
mircea_popescu: it's true, he doesn't. NEITHER DO YOU. without that latter part...
mircea_popescu: so the notion endured, "oh, mp doesn't understand maffs".
