mircea_popescu: if it were workable for ceo to know all why would corporations even be needed in first place ?
mircea_popescu: THAT someone isn't admitting to idiocy, preferring isntead to derp about how "Ceo is supposed to know all".
mircea_popescu: ie, he's an idiot for answering, but someone somewhere was an idiot for asking.
mircea_popescu: indeed. but here's the hidden truth : the idiots TALKING TO HIM about it are no different from the people asking beautician re politics.
mircea_popescu: cto's job is to understand why robots have limits, if the company is doing robots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ceo is an operational management position.
mircea_popescu: this totally orc bullshit where everyone is an expert in everyone's field already...
mircea_popescu: but for the nitpick : it's not the job of the ceo to know why robots have limits.
mircea_popescu: this is not "true for very many keys like a billion trillion keys". this is true all the way up, by the time one's made 10^609 keys we're starting to get into five-nines assurance of unicity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the chances of such repeating happening naturally'd be ~the inverse of ∏(1 - 2i/6.5e612), 1<i<n where n is the number of keys ever made. fortunately this evaluates to "never" on all extant iron.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to rsa discussion : there's about 6.5e612 primes in the interval 2^2045-1, 0 (by teh prime number theorem). every key needs a pair of these, and no number can EVER be repeated (if it is -- phuctor breaks both keys).
mircea_popescu: this is evidently a "loss" of entropy, in the sense that what is advertised (4096) differs from what is actually delivered (no more than 4090). i am of a good mind to start calling them 4090 bit keys tbh.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reason you stick the 2nd 1 in front is, not evidently, also to not end up with sub-4096 Ns : if you had the exceptional case of your primes being each 2^2047 + 1 your N would then be 2^4094+2^2048+1, which is shorter than 4096 bits.
mircea_popescu: the reason you stick the first 1 in the front is, evidently, to not end up with sub-4096 Ns
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reason you stick the 1 in the tail is to ensure odd numbers -- large even numbers are never prime. this much is a math-forced reduction.
mircea_popescu: the reason is that (in a translation of what koch-gpg does into sanity) you take 2045 bits of rng for each possible prime, stick 11 in front and 1 in the tail and THAT is your 2048 bit prime candidate.
mircea_popescu: in other news : it was established in teh minigame torture rooms that in point of fact 4096 bit keys contain only 4090 bits of entropy at the very most (minus whatever koch-gpg manages to shave off in other ways).
mircea_popescu: how come everything these people do is wankery "with a nsn"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly, i believe there's 0 expectation on the part of us army that anyone under that flag will ever fight again. "you wanna shoot, join the police wtf! army is for "assisting local combatants"
mircea_popescu seems to recall this is the problem the original english also encountered. "these colonists dun understand how fighting wars works!!"
mircea_popescu: mats cuz nobody wounded anymore, all work ~= adult diaper changes ?
mircea_popescu: b, n right next to each other. geddit ? it's ANOTHER joke. wrapped in a poon.
mircea_popescu: jsm. could come with a handy "pronounciation guide", which the sort of tard outfits listing "evanghelist" and "at large" on their "Careers" page always include in their god-awful "phonetic" pigdin i mean peeg-deen
mircea_popescu: (funny shit, too, wasn't "medium" gonna be IT last year ? now "steemit" ? next month "wegiveup", the "platform for america" ?)
mircea_popescu: conceivably SOME of that came other than "because we published in today's mp-wp clone-wannabe"
mircea_popescu: the shadow brokers wrote a post, with the shit they did. made them... 19.81
mircea_popescu: sooner or later it gotta get through teh skulls that no, there's no "power in the multitudes".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, some random dorks "reinventing" some web or the other.
mircea_popescu: if only they had the sense to be in the pizzeria line a few years ago!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : 19BY2XCgbDe6WtTVbTyzM9eR3LYr6VitWK, the btc address printed on some "shadow brokers blog", got almost enough money for a small boat.
mircea_popescu: "For decades after its creation in 1952, the N.S.A. — No Such Agency, in the old joke —" << check it out alf, teh times is retconning it into "an old joke"
mircea_popescu: if only ants could speak they'd be no less entertaining.
mircea_popescu: T.A.O. operators must constantly renew their arsenal to stay abreast of changing software and hardware, examining every Windows update and new iPhone for vulnerabilities. “The nature of the business is to move with the technology,” a former T.A.O. hacker said.
mircea_popescu: it'd appear then it was a seedling that grew up in the manner of folk productions
mircea_popescu: apparently this magic wand works so why noit shake it s`more :D
☟︎ mircea_popescu: could, but i was unspecifically suspicious when first saw in 90s
mircea_popescu: i alwsays suspected that was an original english (or french) item stoletranslated to ro as the practice was at the time
mircea_popescu: next they're going to win the world series, these people.
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha "The agency regarded as the world’s leader in breaking into adversaries’ computer networks failed to protect its own." what, is this from "the fake news site regarded (by itself) as the most influential item in the world, above even trilema, and staffed with people from the premiere (according to themselves) institution in the world" ?
mircea_popescu: spyked the romanian you pasted contains an english-language last line.
mircea_popescu: and your idea is not good. first you talk to him in principle, then you do the script, then etc. cinema has a flow!
