mircea_popescu: well, if you don't use windows, there's ~no minimum specs, i've had it run on ten year old laptops. if you do use windows it's unclear as of yet, some people have had problems but seems to be on random hardware

mircea_popescu: these are very deeply disjunct modes. i'm sure [they like to think] telling us teenager that "honey, never mind what the other girls say, you should have self esteem" works for her. from experience it ~works, for a little anywya. but doth not work for subsaharan chick. at all.

Framedragger: i guess that twitter acct thought it was funny that FGM could be anything other than bullshit. at the point of lol'ing at those tweets i took this as a given

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. on actually closer inspection, that thing's easier to parse if one reads till end of extract. one of the points is that the notion of female genital mutilation is used to represent african tribes etc. as inferior culturally, sexually, etc.; thesis seems to disagree with this portrayal of that tribal culture. this does indeed not sound original. but, i guess you're right, it's more like meh, and not a lol-worthy outrag

mircea_popescu: i had dogs as a child ; and horses. and hunted.

mircea_popescu: but i do.

mircea_popescu: and why wouldn't i ?

asciilifeform: i.e. that he can put up with, approx., 'typical female'

mircea_popescu: or need i link again the typical 1800s opera singer.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i meant 'typical paper'

mircea_popescu: i can distinguish it. most recently proven for example when i flew off handle over something someone linked with triangles and squares.

Mariono: i already talk with him

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly. i simply have trouble with the limba de lemn , it is thick.

Mariono: i saw a thread on bitcointalk

trinque: the cop was in a nervous sweat when he came to my door asking if I knew anything

asciilifeform: it was, best as i can tell, the usual meat-assisted shannonizer output.

asciilifeform: ftr i was not able to decode it

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160928/#100 << for the record i fail to see the problem in the quoted fragment ; and can't be arsed to go read the whole thing. anyone wishes to explain what the problem is ?

asciilifeform: did i ever mention the tin pistol ?

mircea_popescu: back in 2005 i ate on the boston wharf ; bill came in a hundreds. today they come in the thousands.

asciilifeform: see mircea_popescu's old article where 'if i get a hundy, i get a hundy, but if everyone gets one - it is a disaster'

thestringpuller: or you stop so you don't fucking die, like when no light exist i.e. lightning storm

mircea_popescu: Framedragger it is possible i'm left stranded on some historical branch. i've been doing ever less banking over the years.

mircea_popescu: i can believe it.

asciilifeform: bank, at least in past decade, demands the rituals. though i could easily believe that if you open acct and immediately drop $mil in it, they will close eyes.

mircea_popescu: i know for a fact i registered corp/bank acct/paypal etc while in costa rica.

a111: Logged on 2016-09-28 14:41 Framedragger: well in uk you have to walk into the bank physically. (from recent experience opening business acct). and it's barclays, quite sure it's similar to the bank i dealt with. but heh, maybe workarounds. especially in .pl

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/i-am-firmly-against-universal-franchise/#comment-119267 << vaguely related, it's ever so sad that the fiat minds never seem quite ready to actually engage.

Framedragger: heheh. oh yeah. i also forgot about them craigslist job posts, as well $x's friend's boyfriend who asked $x to temporarily hold some money in $x's acct because reasons

mircea_popescu: which i think is supported by >1 bn pieces of yearly mail.

mircea_popescu: plus there's also the legions of captcha solvers / employees working remote etc. but i doubt anyone spends that much effort.

Framedragger: but maybe didn't try hard enough, because, you know, i could just walk in later

Framedragger: i tried to do just that while being away from uk!

mircea_popescu: i doubt you do.

Framedragger: well in uk you have to walk into the bank physically. (from recent experience opening business acct). and it's barclays, quite sure it's similar to the bank i dealt with. but heh, maybe workarounds. especially in .pl ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose there's no end of expert ses change.

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160928/#39 << for the record, i didn't even know that was a thing.

Framedragger: next time i'm desperate for cash i'll make a markov bot which will include those keywords, and will spam research funding agencies.

Framedragger: hm seems fine, i.e. it's ^^AACTION

Framedragger: aha, i wonder if the sending irc client encoded msg in some strange charset, and ACTION was *not* technically the first set of characters in that message, from point of view of znc. ☟︎

Framedragger: i'll later check scriba's version of http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160927/#132 , it stores raw irc logs

ben_vulpes: i can't them

trinque: ben_vulpes: man, last job I had to interact with some guy who was doing a dissertation on... some python/postgresql CMS

asciilifeform: not really problem, i dun need these for anything.

mircea_popescu: i have about the same interest in achieving either feat is the problem.

asciilifeform: wake up the alices and leahs when you pull this off, i hear they're quite interested in subj.

mircea_popescu: theoretically i could carry a pregnancy to term.

ben_vulpes: i want to know who expects home made orbital rocket to make any sense

mircea_popescu: I kinda giggled and said yeah. So after some hard thought planning I thought, "why not" and started to redraw my picture on windows paint, so I got my initial layout ready to post on i'ables, first here is picture of a model rocket I found online perhaps an ideal candidate for my fusilage design. ofcorse mine will have to be different,unique,personalized. " << this is what ben_vulpes makes me read.

mircea_popescu: "I was browseing the web for some cool thing to call my next project I swooped by Mike Davis's web page where there is alot of cool stuff and was checking out his homebuilt jet engine and it reminded me of a drawing I had in my fileing cabinet from years ago when I was still in grade school. I dug a little and whiped it out and asked my girl friend if she want to see something cool, she replied yeah so I showed my drawing,she

asciilifeform: in other 'news', holy FUCK is the unix userland retarded, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8402181/how-do-i-get-bc1-to-print-the-leading-zero

mircea_popescu: and in other "i just wasted all this coke" news, http://66.media.tumblr.com/be0798b981a4d1fa746e4bd79c89fd1d/tumblr_njow5kDpHD1rhzk0mo1_1280.jpg

shinohai: Meh I'll probably can it since I can find no info on stripper id's

pete_dushenski: mebbe irish are cheeper to buy. i have to go there to find out.

asciilifeform: funnily enough pete_dushenski i traded a bag of rubles for 1 usd as a boy.

shinohai: BingoBoingo I haz stripper news incoming soon

asciilifeform: 'sorry i couldn't hear your pong in time, frogs were croaking too much'

trinque: what's the frame resize hook thinger, so I can redraw a pane when my frame changes?

gabriel_laddel: It does. I search the logs for clim and my handle ~daily

mircea_popescu: imo the ~best advice in that situation is "go fuck many whores". nothing beats it and fits on a page. which is why i always suspected the pua folk of being a lot more reasonable than anyone realises.

asciilifeform: i (and a111 simultaneously) got a burst of what must be 10 minutes' worth of convo

a111: Logged on 2016-09-26 17:33 asciilifeform: incidentally i find it quite hilarious that three years after the snowden catalogue leak, the constellation of symptoms of rf bug illuminator victims is still Officially 'schizo'

thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: or "i'm an alien and am trying to get home, so usg would have to admit they are harboring a martian"

mircea_popescu: seeing the success of the littoral beercan program, i'm vaguely surprised the usg doesn't bless its doomed effort of catching up with china/russia with cubical rockets.

ben_vulpes: "and i'm on the usg.rocket.dole"

asciilifeform: (btw i'd run ~that~ instead of shortwave, if i were a mad king)

trinque: wtf am I supposed to do, go query the cucks in #clim ?

trinque: oh, not voiced I guess

trinque: omaigad, I think I just had an empathy

trinque: derp, I didn't upload the key, so of course the second one didn't work

mircea_popescu: i propose to you that if jockeys were sent to write software and code monkeys sent to ride horses, the overal results would sum to more.

mircea_popescu: just vague memories from back when i knew friends with rainbow tables.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't require that len(h(x)) < len(x).

mircea_popescu: i suppose so.

mircea_popescu: still, i wouldn't say these differences allow for a strict determination.

asciilifeform: so, for convenience, i'll reprint: 1) at time T, i publish Ksign(H(S)), where S is a lengthy random string; at time T1, when i wish to invoke the continuity i publish H(S+J) ; at time T2: J; at time T3, S.

asciilifeform: i oughta not have used word 'deedbot'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i just mean "makes mitm meaningless"

mircea_popescu: there's no way out of this, i'm affraid.

asciilifeform: which is ~why~ i had the multiple steps.

asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu reeeeeally loves the repudiability thing, but you gotta be careful not to make a cannon that shoots in ALL directions simultaneously. someone has to get privileged knowledge of the true J' or you are cryptodead.

mircea_popescu: J.sign("Here's the laydown : 1. rsa got fucked, this is the process to exrtract privkey from pubkey ; 2. message so-and-so on deedbot was creating by so-hashing this salt and this pubkey ; 3. this here key J was created by using cryptoisystem ? with rng = privkey.K, which guarantees i am the one that made it ; 4. please use this here J' in future")

mircea_popescu: it's not publicly known until i publish.

mircea_popescu: i don't. the point is to prove K-J continuity , not to retain sole control of J

mircea_popescu: well no, i just publish the fingerprint. as per t2 = rsa broken, it then follows one can extract privkey.K from K

mircea_popescu: then at t2+epsilon when i publish k you extract privkey.K from it and check that J was made by create-key(privkey.K_

asciilifeform: i have the deedbotted hash(salt+pubkey.K) to work with

asciilifeform: ok, can haz algo? i found a string J, which is a public key for an asymmetric cryptosystem, that purports to belong to mircea_popescu, and published after the rsacalypse. what do i do with it.

mircea_popescu: well how would i know, right. it'd depend on that.

asciilifeform: i can use to determine, for some input J, whether it belongs to the fella who has priv.K.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but how do i verify that J belongs to mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get that part

mircea_popescu: i publish k, you a) verify it hash-salts to same value and b) encrypt to it

asciilifeform: say he published his J. now what do i do.

asciilifeform: though i am still unclear on how mircea_popescu's verification works

mircea_popescu: t2+epsilon : i publish key J in cryptosystem ? which was created with entropy = privkey.K

mircea_popescu: t1 : i make rsa key K ; don't share it with anyone. i publish hash(salt+pubkey.K)

asciilifeform: i did say 'key J for a possibly yet-undiscovered cryptosystem'

trinque: I'm doing the paste-import thing. patience rAISellers

asciilifeform: where you demonstrate that you knew Kpriv and a secret S at time T, and at some time T+i you show that 'he who knew S at time T now wishes to use key J for everyday life.'
