mircea_popescu: (why 0x010001 ? yes, it's a magic number. but it has magic reasons : 1) it is prime ;
2) it is the fastest multiplication on a 64 bit machine, because it's just a concatenation ; 3) could make it even longer by the same process, but that has a significant impact on speed with no visible security benefit. so it's magic for a god damned reason.)
mircea_popescu: there's a pile of incidental nonsense (such as min length for name but not password hurr ; such as
2.0.30 current doesn't even fucking compile, such as etc) that shouldn't disappear under "oh, mpi"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 04:03 asciilifeform: p = generate_secret_prime( nbits /
2 );
mod6: i can do
2.0.30 with this ^ if that helps
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm giving up on this bs. gnupg
2.0 doesn't even exist, contrary to nonsense noise on social media.
mod6:
2.x is such a pile of dung
mod6: i can'gnupg-
2.0.30 to build either
mircea_popescu: so
2.0.22 can't generate a key and
2.0.30 can't compile.
mircea_popescu: ~/gpg-
2.0.30/libgpg-error-1.24/src$ ./gpg-error-config --prefix
mircea_popescu: fucking nightmare. so the lib-error shit compiled, but obviously ./configure --with-libgpg-error-prefix="/home/mircea/gpg-
2.0.30/libgpg-error-1.24/" does nothing, with or without quotes

Framedragger: asciilifeform: obtw, did the breaking of that khadeer modulus come from you implementing the "check (NextPrime(
2^1023))^
2" heuristic? 'cause that's bound to yield some new results!
mircea_popescu: consider the proper model for this : let there be an unknown endless list of binary questions. you create an endless list of identities, which you publish,
2^(n+1)-1 for the nth question. unknown to anyone but you, they are linked in a tree (ie, you know in advance identity 10111010101 will answer "yes" to q1 no to q2 yes to q 3-5 etc).
phf: "Our records show that you are the owner of
2 Urbit planets."
mircea_popescu: as it's not acctually correctly designed it 1) creates false sense of security ;
2) creates unnecessary byzantinism and "can't pop the hood on this"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: sure. some classes : as it's unnecessary in the discussed scheme, it 1) adds weaknes through requiring unneeded computation ;
2) gives crevice for shitgnomery for no reason (see anvin bs) ; 3) possibly creates weakness through unnecessary computation on key generation
mircea_popescu: neways, 95 characters. 95^1.2177 = 256.02008.
2/1.2177 = 1.642440667.
mircea_popescu: because hex takes
2 characters per byte ; whereas this would take ~1.232 characters/byte
mircea_popescu: it's the fucking keyboard. that little wire running from kbd to ps/
2 port, that's its spine.

danielpbarron: at least in the line i quoted, it ends with the husband getting killed. It's better for a man to die than for him to live with his wife taken by another. (

2 : ant colony, nature's finest example of star topology, is for this reason uniquely bad example for the (correctly defined) "complex system". the boom-bust cycle of rabbits and other small rodents much better examples. complex systems are made of like parts, not worker-queen sorta nonsense.)

2-stroke is common in orclandnorth. seen in snowblowers, leafblowers, etc.
danielpbarron: 1) someone i'd want to fuck that
2) hasn't already been fucked
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 12:34 mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and
2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with a hoodie" stupidity. it's like all the girls that dedicated their adolescence to "abstinence only" moved on to "corporate advertising / governance" or some shit.
mircea_popescu: even something like apple - here today, gone tomorrow. alphabet inc was fdounded... 2015. ie it's not yet
2 years old. on it goes.
phf: i find it convenient, that, so far, i was able to walk into branches in different parts of the world, and extract
2-3k at a time to cover me for a few days of vacation. sometimes i also get sloppy (3am, i'm drunk), so i'll pull money from atm in some dodgy location

☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Best to ignore "store brands" unless you are getting consumables.
2.5 gallons of 41% glyphosate concentrate, HDX is fine. Tool, probably not fine.

ben_vulpes:
2) i added the suffix generation routine to the template page, and appended the suffix to the relevant form names.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the nicole smith case is interesting because of how perfectly she played the lizzards off each other. step 1: got one disowned brother to ally with her agains the other ; step
2 : declared bankruptcy, forcing california bankruptcy court into dispute with texas probate court.
mircea_popescu: out of 9 "top critics" in syndication, two pass the blurb test : village voice's atkinson and slant magazine's dillard. this is the fucking bar, "write one sentence that doesn't mark you for idiocy",
2/9 specialists pass.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 19:58 asciilifeform: i am quite interested in the mechanisms whereby 1) goldmansachs usd are prevented from transmuting into turkey usd
2) plebes wielding turkey usd are restrained from putting unendurable pressure on supplies of limited resources, of the sort which lead to shortages and visible collapse.

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: there is still
2 or three years of these wunkderkids for the mpaa to chew through before cockboxmaster or ($seen) Framedragger get their butts off the couch and make a wot-blessed tracker
ben_vulpes: ideally you want to hang on to
2 or 3 of the meekest so they can tell the story to the next round of draftees
phf: grok things like "oh, it was armor pick up in this corridor, and let me see there's two exits, but the guy would be going for quad next, so he'll take exit

phf: ben_vulpes: i have a patchset, that takes wp from stock
2.7 to mircea_popescu's version, and then adds a few cleanups that i did. once i get through all the other shit i'm working on, i'll release it. the stock->mp patch is useful if you want to do further work on the codebase and have some idea where mp's custom patches begin and end
shinohai: ;;later tell mod6
2 tests complete both passed
mircea_popescu: anyway : the rsa/otp scheme is also bw-wasting, up to a factor of
2 if no hashing, or otherwise depending on how many hash passes, with 20 it's just 1.05 ie 5% more bw etc.
