asciilifeform: possibly i dreamed it.

asciilifeform: i have nfi where, if anywhere, it lives on paper.

asciilifeform: it was never there

asciilifeform: original

asciilifeform: and -- mega-surprise -- it ain't there...

asciilifeform: funnily enough, last time we had a related thread, i looked for it in schneier 1995 where i THOUGHT i learned it

asciilifeform: ( 'someone else' being someone with 0 knowledge of the plaintext, naturally )

asciilifeform: there's a (sadly nameless) principle, where a thing that ~someone else~ could easily do to your ciphertext, is not any added problem if you do it yourself

asciilifeform: but you wouldn't.

asciilifeform: if you were to use == keys -- they actually would

asciilifeform: but theoretically this scheme -- while algebraic -- is as strong as the rsa used in the wrapping layer.

asciilifeform: anyway i'll omit steps 4-6 and leave as exercise.

asciilifeform: try it sometime.

asciilifeform: no, even on pc.

asciilifeform: actually not so bad.

asciilifeform: 3) E is now your public exponent !!

asciilifeform: 2) take the payload bitstring P, and calculate E = nextprime(P)

asciilifeform: 1) generate a single-use rsa public modulus, M

asciilifeform: btw here's another ! , potentially similarly bowel-loosening ! ( to the usual suspects ) hash algo on entirely different principles :

asciilifeform: can -- if you must -- merkle tree

asciilifeform: ( N bit rsa modulus carries 'naked' payload of N bits )

asciilifeform: depending on rsa modulus length

asciilifeform: really a few kb

asciilifeform: also ( and should be theoretically possible to calculate ) what is the worst-case cycle count.

asciilifeform: and bits-of-output-flipped-per-bit-of-message-flipped vs message-length.

asciilifeform: 1 of the things i've been curious re mphash is bits-of-message-touched vs message-length

asciilifeform: that op doesn't even need much more than a kb or so

asciilifeform: ( what the derps call, maliciously misnamedly, 'padding' )

asciilifeform: originally algo ( in the 1st , ancient version, suggested by asciilifeform in http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-24#1589879 thread ) was to destructure inputs for rsa signing ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: think back to what is the point of a hash to begin with

asciilifeform: ( a 512byte msg doesn't need to be hashed... why would you )

asciilifeform: if can't hash a 1GB message , or even 1MB, in less than geological time -- not very useful, sadly, algo

asciilifeform: exponential on mlen << that dun look good...

asciilifeform: btw ben_vulpes your mphash seems to use some shitlibrary that 1) i dun have 2) won't install via quicklisp ☟︎

asciilifeform: imho oughta be hexascii like earthlings use ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678477 << i have nfi why mircea_popescu went with ascii-010010010111.. for the output format ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( see 'blackhole revealer' discussion from coupla mo. ago )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678356 << there are afaik no acceptable autoprofilers in existence at all. they all do this idiotic thing with statistical sampling rather than actual per-line timer ( because apparently the year is eternally 1980 and there is no highres timer, or wat.) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678431 << not only does it, but there is not even an interpreter in there as fallback ( see the old sbcl vs cmucl threads ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: if counting lisp runtime load, why not the c runtime.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678460 << how about we roll the boot time ( to shell!! ) of your cmachinekernel, how about? ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: and, worse, to introduce it to places that happily worked without idiotic interpreter ( e.g. microcontroller ) at all

asciilifeform: and to have folx suppose that i somehow want to perpetuate it.

asciilifeform: python2 was also garbage, infix pseudolisp with globalinterpreterlock, broken lambda, 1,001 eager idiocies. apparently i write a handful of throwaway rubbish proggies in it ( was less atrocious than perl, so i threw out perl) but now i'm condemned for life to hear about it

asciilifeform: even let's suppose it weren't python3 ( which it is )

asciilifeform: sina: garbage

asciilifeform bbl, alcohol

asciilifeform: but sure.

asciilifeform: lolmost of my gear came from.. scrapyards

asciilifeform: ( i still use bad ol' Pb cells, tho. )

asciilifeform: in fact even asciilifeform has most of it right here.

asciilifeform: telco-style. all of the gear is off-the-shelf

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this'd work pretty well

asciilifeform: hey nobody gets to escape all forces of nature. ( usa is good illustration of this : all of the parts with desirable weather, have some periodic cataclysm, earthquake or flood, pick.. )

asciilifeform: most photopanel aficionados would cream pants, just reading about it.

asciilifeform: the hilltop tower house described in article seems ideal : no shades

asciilifeform: then short work neh.

asciilifeform: this plus a dish antenna or two and you could live on mars...

asciilifeform: they are apparently catching on at telcos etc

asciilifeform: hence the prices.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik there is no konsoomer nife. there are only industrial.

asciilifeform: they're considerably less dense than lithium but last for century rather than couplayears

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/dmpaz << where found the latter.

asciilifeform: 'Encell ENC30012' 300Ah 12v ( i.e. 30 Ah 120v supposing ideal inverter... ) lasts, purportedly, 11,000 cycles, 48cm x 48cm x 61 cm.

asciilifeform: http://www.bimblesolar.com/batteries/nifebatteries << randomly picked vendor

asciilifeform: apparently commercially available finally. after 100 yr pause.

asciilifeform: ( see if you can score those eternal NiFe cells to go with'em... )

asciilifeform: probably not even worst possible idea

asciilifeform: ~diesel~ works well as >50kW.

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: ( hence why folx use diesel )

asciilifeform: and light fraction dun keep well.

asciilifeform: they dun scale so well.

asciilifeform: <10kW actually

asciilifeform worked in a place that had one

asciilifeform: yeah these are terrible, i disrecommend

asciilifeform: ( over here, piped gas gensets are quite common )

asciilifeform: incidentally do they have piped gas in cr ?

asciilifeform: ah hm often i forget the sheer expense of getting products of industry in bananilandia

asciilifeform: almost.

asciilifeform: i also dun have a zoo!11

asciilifeform: buncha folx even here have these. just not me

asciilifeform: such economy !

asciilifeform: pretty lulzy, mircea_popescu rides in ~same auto as asciilifeform even nao, runs on ~same batteries..

asciilifeform: aah like mine

asciilifeform: i can't picture civilized life in bananistan without a 2wk tank of diesel + at least 100kW of gen

asciilifeform: and what of the diesels

asciilifeform: (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: Run Moar Nonconstanttime Bignum

asciilifeform: yes rsa

asciilifeform: and nao bernstein, henninger ( this is what, 3rd paper since she was attached to him ) 'unhappened and rehappened' it ☟︎

asciilifeform: sina: the israeli d00dz with the microphone had this 3y ago

asciilifeform: no-scheme-too-idiotic to get usd-rich imbeciles used to usgbase 'wallets', cross-contamination of btcsavingsaddrs and usgspendingaddrs, etc.

asciilifeform: '...opened up a Coinbase account for merchants that allows the school to accept cryptocurrency payments from families and automatically convert them into US dollars...'

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if dell and microshit can pseudo-accept btc ( via usgpay ) wai not these.

asciilifeform: these are - or until recently were - mechanically derived from popular search phrases

asciilifeform: for maybe 7yrs now

asciilifeform: in civilian wwwtrons with js, it offers 'predictions' when you type in the search box

asciilifeform: 'hateful / sexually explicit / violent / dangerous and harmful activity / other' form

asciilifeform: oh holyfuq google nao has a 'report inappropriate predictions'
