mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seed is a combo of site-produced TRNG entropy and player-set (with defaults if playher doesn't feel like setting). you can change your portion at any time.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reason i kept trying to get him to be involved with things was exactly that he had good solutions to actual problems. but... never caught on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this impression is borne out of lack of experience and no more. what, i'm going to assembly line phds ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's no actual reduction ; just an expensive, bug ridden implementation of half of usmail
mircea_popescu: what, you're going to arm them too ? with what, submarines ?
mircea_popescu: not a good answer. courier can get ambushed just as well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't want to commission back in 2013 or so because i don't recall, something about how doesn't want to lose the spirit or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: the girls love the "ne futem sau evadam ?" "fuff. mai fimflu" one. which only exists in romanian.
mircea_popescu: i still think the best ever is the magic of denial one.
mircea_popescu: hey, at least yours has the best rack of the alf-right or how did that go.
mircea_popescu: btw am i the only one HIGHLY entertained by the internets producing a girl alf ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: quite. though usually in the manner of "i just want my pension"
mircea_popescu: "what if we pretend problem doesn't exist ?" "well... it'll catch up with you eventually" "But after i vest, right ?" "probably..."
mircea_popescu: so as i was saying -- we don't have to usg.dumb sign anything.
mircea_popescu: you can chose an arbitrary large prime and have that arity.
mircea_popescu: and i don't think it's necessarily a bad solution, which is why i said there are others.
mircea_popescu: no, i was expecting that's what you want ever since pushing me above.
mircea_popescu: huge difference between sub-heisenberg fractional and super-heisenberg fractional.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fraction is so small as to be below heisenberg limits. this matters.
mircea_popescu: tell you what, i also have no proof in your sense the slavegirls ain't cheating on me.
mircea_popescu: the important point is : acordeon hash function set up to spit 256 byte or 512 byte hashes WILL NOT collide.
mircea_popescu: we're talking of different things in the sense you went off on a tangent.
mircea_popescu: there's no shits given re tmsa-rsa-signature being retrocompatible.
mircea_popescu: nobody forces us to use the 32/64 byte crap nsit likes.
mircea_popescu: so, message as chain of message blocks, with acordeon, settable hash. yes it is "possible" to get a collision. if your hash is 512bytes long... not soon.
mircea_popescu: and by no means mpfhf only settable. keccak will work also.
mircea_popescu: "hurr durr we know how to sign "cocksucker" whenever they use 93 bit outputs. which is... not now."
mircea_popescu: and besides, with a settable hash like mpfhf you can use different size hashes all the time.
mircea_popescu: "yes, enemy has alphabet of chunks : he knows how to sign ilif every time it comes after asci and is 2nd in ther chain"
mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you've no legs to stand on. suppose each successive block is a successive hash.
mircea_popescu: because faad is the signature for "0001what " not for "0001otherwhat"
mircea_popescu: 0001what someotherdays does not check out against faadd
mircea_popescu: and you know 9 blocks were signed, and they are as such :
mircea_popescu: signed material looks as follows : 0001what 0faadd0002means8391240004 'moraff02930005...ffffuct'ajk40009a435aad
mircea_popescu: let's take as sample text "what means 'more compact construct'".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> that's just another hash. << no, tmsr-rsa does fulltext signing.
mircea_popescu: this is very specifically what they mean by "permanent solution to temporary problem" btw. here we are.
mircea_popescu: poor naggum. if he lived he'd have had something to live for,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform human brai nidem, which is why cartesian/polar switching such a problem.
mircea_popescu: much like digital notation of transcendents, be it more convenient, does not un-make their transcendence.
mircea_popescu: it is more ~convenient~ to have the url in phf style, but this convenience does not change the fact that yes, they ARE ben_vulpes style.
mircea_popescu: old style ben_vulpes was an attempt to do exactly this i suspect, we nixed it because too long hashes ; but practical considerations have no theoretical power.
mircea_popescu: now, that in practice these APPEAR mixed, is a matter of little theoretical consequence.
mircea_popescu: "give me the list of all lines with string x" are not requests for urls per se, but requests for computation. "please interpret the indirection layer and compose a list of urls as a solution to that".
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709154 << seems the correct solution is the layer of indirection. you do have actual information, which is immutable, and which can be served as urls ; and you have indexing etcetera, which yes is mutable, but which also best lives as an alias layer on top of urls. so in this sense : each line in the log is an url ; the query for "give me the by-day list of archives" just like the query for
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and the inept copper is trying to flirt with the hussy, in their inept cuckolded way. and she's evidently privy to it, and so is her cousin. (2nd pic)
mircea_popescu: considering the old woman in question worked for the uk govt, there are truly fewer things more upright or morally deserving to do than to destroy her soul and throw the bits in the garbage.
mircea_popescu: "She said: ‘These people have just trashed 30 years of my life and thrown it into bin bags. It is soul-destroying.’"
