mircea_popescu: you seen the premises ? not physically possible to host 100 people working there, let alone 500 wtf.
mircea_popescu: dozen people eighteen months. thatssit. where's the 500 undergrads ~actually~ working for decades ?
mircea_popescu: slaves, idem. if you couint every nigger at mit, derping about "we're one, man" and "i should have money anyway" then yes you get the figures, but if you count THAT as slavery god help youi.
mircea_popescu: and the problem of "slaves" and "work" is very interestingly repeating. so : if you count all the receptionists in the "work" you're getting an obviously diluted figure. if this is were how work worked, i could build spaceship by hiring 1mn chickens/hair stylists in argentina. evidently, argentina isn't building any spaceships.
mircea_popescu: this argument will not prevail, because again, mit never paid that many hours.
mircea_popescu: ie, a dozen people "worked" in the us sense for 18 months.
mircea_popescu: right. and if it were an actual man-year of work it'd be a wonder.
mircea_popescu: mit never had a thousand man-years of work, in its entire history to date, counting all the departments.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the question of "why the fuck would anyone even bother with a mit '''license''' we'll leave for some other time".
mircea_popescu: seems a lot of retarded one-man-ism that gave the world 5k "airplane inventors" and just as many canvas-made planes that didn't work worth a shit.
mircea_popescu: there were what, 5 different wanna-be symbolix corps ? commercial lisps ? etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, though i'm not particularily interested in stallman's moth-eaten brain.
mircea_popescu: shinohai is "tight-lipped" how you say "box of hammers" this millennium ?
mircea_popescu: "celebrating "Palm Sunday", a feast marking their holy tradesman's triumphant return to Jerusalem days before the holy tradesman was martyred by combined Italian and Jewish police violence." << epic.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is the "oh, must be local" rationale besides "we are retarded and so therefore things follow"
mircea_popescu: "The attacker was able to turn the sirens back on 15 times in a 90 minute period" lmao
mircea_popescu: i mean rms, i understand, stray dog mit took in, he'd bark at st peter if st peter came by. but the rest of 'em ?
mircea_popescu: why exactly did everyone in the golden lisp era feel such a burning need to compete with each other anyway ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally the best solution probably is to do a sweep tx now and again (once a year or such ?) to aggregate all the inputs into one single output
mircea_popescu: this might even fix it, but it's not certain, given the festival of adhoc magic numbers trb is also known as.
mircea_popescu: yes trinque ; but if a transaction is under arbitrary amount, it is arbitrarily "Dust" and can not be spent.
mircea_popescu: i have a good idea what you're running into : your balance is made up of "dust". can't send it.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm aware what the problems are. just, absent a written form, im stuck going through the matter question&answer style.
mircea_popescu: but didn't discuss it, and therefore i've not what to link.
mircea_popescu: yeah. put that evaluation in the stack though, i wanna hear what comes of it.
mircea_popescu: BenBE well, while the state of hardware generally is very poor, due to tmsr dilligence this particular corner is actually solved, and so no, wrt rngs the state is fine.
mircea_popescu: FG is, importantly, an ~auditable~ rng. you can audit the thing, and if you do, i'd be very interested to hear the results.
mircea_popescu: last i heard he had enough of licking acids under the microscope.
mircea_popescu: i don't know how you can audit a xilinx chip. but if you did, asciilifeform would definitely be interested in hearing.
mircea_popescu: well, we don't trust xilinx for critical infreastructure for the ~same reason we don'tr trust windows.
mircea_popescu: so you are trusting xilinx to actually do what it says ? and this with code that you can't audit ?
mircea_popescu: as per that ancient "pi digits are also random, especially if you don't know what pi is" lemma.
mircea_popescu: BenBE FG scores perfection not before seen in ent/dieharder, not terribly sure how much that convinces me.
mircea_popescu: obvious example : does monotonous temperature variation result in more 1's ? something along the lines of "batch 1 we kept at 20, batch 2 we took from 0 to 40 over one hour, batch 3 we took from 40 to 0 over one hour. out of the 10gb worth of entropy recorded in that hour, batch 1 is 50-50 split, batch 2 is 75% 0s, batch 3 is 74% 1s.
mircea_popescu: did you do a mapping of temperature -> entropy or anything like that ?
mircea_popescu: can't say i have any experience with said modulation. what are the ring oscillators built out of ?
mircea_popescu: i needn't prove it. he doesn't want to be ~guilty~ he keeps out of doing bad things. that simple.
mircea_popescu: BenBE yes, but here's the extra step : not only do i know koch is an evil shithead who dedicates his time doing evil. i also say it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't take 32 chars you don't belong here.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: BenBE do you also know the FUCKGOATS, so as not to ever again use a "prng" for as long as you live ?
mircea_popescu: but to be perfectly clear : rfc 4880 is not technically weak. it is politically subverside, and deliberately so. it consists of the same material that has schneider running around trying to convince people turning their computer in for an ipad is "the way to bright future of socialism", or of the uk cocksuckers that covered up rotherham droning on as to how they have to have everyone's keys to "catch criminals".
mircea_popescu: for a moment there it read as "i don't like $newguy, he might do something stupid." which is silly, let him do the stupid first, not like him after. wtf preemptive dislike.
mircea_popescu: tbh i'm not sure what fellow's trying to do, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: BenBE trouble is we're moving away from the inept koch standard.
mircea_popescu: BenBE the problem is that others may attempt to use it and involve you thereby. which is also the whole of their business plan, i'm sure you realise. anyway, the whole thing's moot : proper wot exists, we're using it, the soup can go hang.
mircea_popescu: hopefully we don't end up with too many people importing this and then wanting to strangle us when the obviously adhoc tree ends up rebased.
mircea_popescu: does not exclude new keys, excludes middle chars of found factors.
mircea_popescu: i wasn'\t aware it does, that's what deedbot uses to pipe here also
mircea_popescu: Framedragger dja mean rss ? that's the fucking point, to truncate, so you don't keep getting ancient data
mircea_popescu: need a better method than downloading the whole list of shit you already know every time.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger do you currently cache the whole phuctored dir ?
