phf: we're on the same page, but purely from entomology perspective, i, for example, don't know how two competing groups of termites behave when joining forces.

phf: well, i'm more interested in mechanics of it all, since i don't believe in lizard hitler. do thugs of both camps meet at the canteen and measure each other up? are they going to embrace mutual scam wholeheartedly? are they going to try and undermine each other in subtle ways? ☟︎

phf: i for one am looking forward to many lulz delivered by powershell fraction of linux on desktop koomoounity

asciilifeform: and, as i understand, the rest of it - flowed from this.

asciilifeform: i've been told that nsa castle of doom actually suffers from the same profusion of 'dockers', etc. as typical american software co.

mircea_popescu: for some reason i was thinking it's going to return a factor. dun ask me.

asciilifeform: (though it would not astonish me if some keys in my collection had a prime n. devil knows i've seen every ~other~ deformity.)

asciilifeform: also, mircea_popescu's airgap unit runs for 4 days in its cage ? i cannot boast of this.

asciilifeform: i'd like to know from where he got the figure - no source is cited.

mircea_popescu: i just mean the part where "everyone knows the moduli don't factor" "oh look they do"

mircea_popescu: but i dunno exactly how loing it'd take ; and i suspect not THAT long.

asciilifeform: and i'd personally love a deterministic test that doesn't take 4 years of cpu for a 2048-bit mod.

asciilifeform: i.e. there is always a - calculable - chance that your result bit uncorrectedly flips right before you read it.

mircea_popescu: is what i meant.

asciilifeform: (interest in the subj is slim, on account of miller-rabin probabilistic test provably converging - i.e. probability of catastrophic failure can be made smaller than probability of machine flattened by asteroid the same night) ☟︎

asciilifeform: i have nfi, it would be interesting to determine it.

mircea_popescu: something, so i can put this in numbers.

asciilifeform: (or was it derived wholly from pw ? i suppose i oughta read the thing, later.)

asciilifeform: 'i was there, i did it!' -- al gore, 9/12/01

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/2CprW << i wonder how this lolcow is paid. per-lol ?

mircea_popescu: aaanyway. not all graves are worth the stream of piss, and in the case of tor i'm well spent.

asciilifeform: i could not possibly say.

mircea_popescu: i can't begin to give a shit about people with no parents.

mircea_popescu: ved there was victims, why did no one ask if I had bad experiences with Jake? This would have been easy given that Alison spent an hour alone with me in a cafe at the last TorDev meeting and had several communication channels with me. Also I have been at Isis' place several times in the last months as I am dating her roommate Brennan" <<< MOTHERFUCKER. so what, i'm to watch low rent reruns of beverly hills 90201 now ? da fuck!

mircea_popescu: "The first thing I said when I saw this website, is that Shari failed. She knew people (many datapoints indicate the site creators are Alison and Isis) were about to do this. How could she let this happen? I am strongly wondering if this was really about protecting women. Here's what I noticed: I am a woman, and I estimate that more than half of the Tor core people know I was dating him, or at least close to him. If Tor belie

asciilifeform: (incidentally i have nfi whether gnu patch util will apply a patch that simply 'FALSE'-s a deleted file, without the minusola.)

mod6: mircea_popescu: gotcha. i've got a number in mind already.

mod6: i'll work on an estimate for the 2015 time spent (for me at least).

asciilifeform: ~/gnupg-1.4.10 $ grep -i -r weimer *

mircea_popescu: "But what happened is so unfair to so many people, in so many ways, that I cannot keep this for me." << this counts as "i raise my arms, to either kill or be killed, but to no longer continue this life"

asciilifeform: did i miss something, she is in your cellar hanging right now, or wut.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 i came to this by attempting vdiff of gnupg 1.4.10 vs their .21 release from wednesday, and ending up with an unreadable 8MB turd, they moved/rm'd a buncha files. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ever since http://trilema.com/2014/the-all-american-asshole-in-his-own-words-with-my-own-notes/ i can't shake the feeling all these, age irrespective, gender irrespective, are really the same community-college educated, chronic masturbator.

asciilifeform: i don't know the fella personally, but afaik he has not seppukued

mircea_popescu: for all you know it could be parochial "i've heard of thieves but not the plague, hence should build thief wall not plague wall"

asciilifeform: the lolmonkey in question is, as i gather, http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468111 ☝︎

asciilifeform: https://pad.riseup.net/p/87Mazw3Jsdfe_pm/timeslider#11 << multistory lul tower. for instance, i had no idea what is 'riseup' until its pgp keys began to pop. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i can picture hitler 'we made 20 rapees for assange - great. now let's try 200 ...'

a111: Logged on 2015-11-15 01:17 mircea_popescu: i have this pile of very secret derpage here including the very expert "profile" of some random derp explaining how an elderly, principled gentleman is perhaps going to react crazily to the crass injustice of this entire scheme.

mircea_popescu: i can't be arsed to follow. i trust we're satisfied with that quote for the entire thing ?

asciilifeform: i find the the choice of weapon in this firing squad interesting.

asciilifeform: of the debate because he "thought a bit more about things and decided I had better things to emotionally invest myself in than an angry riot."'

mircea_popescu: for that matter, halting problem is an excellent model for this, because it can always be phrased as "well, am i done thinking and ready to act or will think some more ?"

mircea_popescu: i did not ask. i pointed out to you that "my algo solves this problem" is no solution to the halting problem in the general.

mircea_popescu: the pressure is always the ethical dilemma. "what do i do now".

asciilifeform: i still dun see the pressure in 'here are the files'

mircea_popescu: it's unclear whether, say, tmsr would currently be able to withstand the sort of pressure. i am however hopeful that by the time it has to, it will.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi, the lulzbook is missing some pages.

asciilifeform: i read it as ref to the bird logo

mircea_popescu: as far as fictions go, i'm also not going to do alice's wonderland or what have you.

mircea_popescu: what do i care about these so called other countries.

davout: i guess the republican french touch is hard to value

davout: i'm pretty sure ~0 fits on a page

mircea_popescu: so on other news, i am writing teh republic's "cia factbook", and on the matter of gdp i would like to have an estimate of the "fair market value of the total time donated to republic during 2015" in the estimation of everyone involved. detailed is better, but nothing over a page omg. ☟︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 15:32 thestringpuller: i'm doing it for refining "essential Oils", i'm going to buy a short path fractional distillation set

PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524504 << in lab we had two flavors of glass, I think it was borosilicate and non-borosilicate (useful based on whether or not you are trying to measure certain metal ions), and we distinguished between them by looking at the edge, one was clear and the other was kinda blue-green ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suspect this is the main reason people moved off it, not so much cost or anything.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 16:33 thestringpuller: PeterL: I asked a friend who blows glass for a living, and he said nowadays it's more expensive to blow science-ware by hand than to get the mass produced stuff...

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524440 << yeah okay okay; but i don't know what to tell the guy, what's going on here. "lotsa smart people, it's actually a republic, rewriting the world, slowly. also software" ☝︎

mats: asciilifeform: no, i will put it on my list

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-19#1524957 << there is a notion, pernicious to the small-time and novice operators, that virtualization providers save time in infrastructure management. it's very much a "i just want to" write the software attitude. ☝︎

phf: i'm on board cause we def need to preserve the tumblr content

phf: i went through the whole exercise for my lisp based instapaper clone back in a day, so i have some of that code around. but it was neither efficient nor reliable (for example, closure html a lisp based html parser fails in all kinds of surprising ways when you throw random web at it)

mircea_popescu: actually i don't even believe that can be done.

phf: ah, i was away during that discussion and forgot to comment. i have it in my todo, but i need to testrun before commenting. it's obviously a good idea, i wish we had archive.is in-wot though

mircea_popescu: i'm entirely at a loss as to what'd it be useful, outside of what Framedragger tried to use it for - which it apparently fervently defends itself against using for

mircea_popescu: i know of nothing in nature more resilient than the idiot in his idiocy.

mircea_popescu: re the getting diverged phf , i dunno what you answered to 2nd part of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523000 ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose it makes more sense than the dudes who chip in so that a model version of themselves bangs some chick on camera...

mircea_popescu: also... i actually use archive.is

asciilifeform: (i even fired up a winblowz box)

asciilifeform: i even posted the thing.

asciilifeform: as far as i could tell.

mircea_popescu: i mean... it won't work for alf, but maybe if he needs it a kind soul will unzip the files for him in the magic way

mircea_popescu: baring you actually being exciting from writing.. a... browser, i guess, the solution was to just archive.is all links and save the resulting zips

mircea_popescu: nothing specific about paste or otherwise. if i click on a link in an old article by that marciej dude, it comes out 404. which sucks.

phf: of course another option is to add link downloader, to btcbase for example, but it's a can of worms, that i guess i will have to open..

phf: mircea_popescu: having hard time finding relevant bits, since thread diverged many times. a long standing criticism of dpaste was "all these pastes are going to make log not as useful", when ben_vulpes released his wotpaste there was discussion about expiration and how to mitigate it. fwiw i don't remember where it went from there

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically, i am reading the man's name exactly.

mircea_popescu: "Nothing about McMurdo improves with proximity. Up close, the station looks like a cross between an oil refinery and a struggling community college." << now i have what to link to when people ask me why i can't be arsed to antarctica.

ben_vulpes: phf: tbqh i was considering setting up a trilema style cookie l2 could get their hands on that would keep pastes around

phf: ben_vulpes: i remember there was functionality to not expire wotpastes if they are in the log. what do you need me to provide you with in order to get that operational again?

shinohai: Speaking of South American countries, should I suspect Columbia to be a horrid shithole?

trinque: "wow you guys. you know what I learned today?" (tm) (r)

shinohai: http://archive.is/Oj1JG "I'm sorry my shitty code fucked you all up, what's next?"

mircea_popescu: so do i.

asciilifeform: because i consider mpi bugs to be a thing of interest.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was trying to learn the answer to that.

asciilifeform: ' ... I tried this on two different platforms with two different byte orders. In particular, I used a mips-ultrix and sun386i. The results, are the same, and show that there is no problem with PGP 2.3a, or, at least, I cannot reproduce your bug. Sorry.'

asciilifeform: d, so there was no way to repeat the error. I set up a batch file to repeatedly cycle coins...'

asciilifeform: 'Someone please prove me wrong, but I think there is a bug in the function mp_modexp_crt (RSA decryption and signing) in PGP23a's MPI library. Attached to this message is a program which demonstrates the bug. While testing Magic Money for lingering bugs, the client gave the error "Coin from server has bad signature!" I tried again with different coins, and the program worked. The proto.dat file had been cleared as the coins were rea

asciilifeform: 'In summer of 2000, I had a look at the new key format PGP had introduced. In Europe a number of researchers voiced concerns about the new ADK feature that were routinely being ignored in the US, the home of PGP. This ignorance motivated me to look closer into the new PGP version and I discovered a serious problem with the way additional keys could be added without a user's consent. '

asciilifeform: who, for all i know, is in valhalla's halls now.

asciilifeform: i shit thee not, even if you say, e.g., 'moscow', they will drop it somewhere near ankara or worse

asciilifeform: i did, it was a depressing exercise an' i stopped.

mircea_popescu: i never had the curiosity to ask.

mircea_popescu: i dunno who took the russian-kalash-guy act seriously.

a111: Logged on 2014-02-02 03:29 herbijudlestoids: has anyone come up with any useful use cases for urbit? all i could think of was a mutt clone lol

asciilifeform: 'CY, I've long admired your work, but pray answer me this: why on earth did you accept $millions in kleptocrat funding? How could this possibly serve the long-term interests of Urbit users? Now the same folks who ruined the Net - and virtually everything else that was ever good and bright - have a voting share! Or do I misunderstand? And if a strong USG were to take a dislike to Urbit, all the KYC clerks, bean-counters, and lawyers i

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think that was all of it.
