asciilifeform looks...

asciilifeform: ( to asciilifeform , 'ricochet' is still that ancient modem thing )

asciilifeform: but yes , 2 crackpot faux-ircs

asciilifeform: perplexed by 'scroll down', lol

asciilifeform: ( are the arrows reversed on mircea_popescu's planet.. )

asciilifeform: well yes, but that's a scroll-UP

asciilifeform: is all i get

asciilifeform: black text, 'toilet, prisoner,non consensual, kidnap, chained, caged, urinal, piss, spit, suck, slave, capture, bondage, extreme, abuse, sex, sexual, animal, pig, sub-human, subhuman, inferior, lick, mouth, pathetic, bitch, stupid, worthless, snuff, obedience, loyalty, dog, fun, pleasure, service, servitude, b&d, s&m, knine,submission, slave, sub.'

asciilifeform: 'qTox: 93C0DEFA0C017B9DF3EEA.........'

asciilifeform: so, it.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the linked piece cites 'qtox'

asciilifeform: yet another multicolourphone!!

asciilifeform: 'Whether it's corporations or governments, digital surveillance today is widespread. Tox is easy-to-use software that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. ' << lol!!

asciilifeform: but where will the cynocephali live

asciilifeform: 'Arthurs said all of them shared neo-Nazi beliefs but he later converted to Islam and killed the roommates because they disrespected his faith'

asciilifeform: the plantators were , by all indications, aware of this

asciilifeform: lolk

asciilifeform: btw why mircea_popescu not in mexico ?

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: at least in the capital

asciilifeform: trinque: biologically -- at least to naked eye -- ar folx are entirely european

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660325 << fwiw and ftr i've spent ~0 brain cycles considering what to do if i break it, it is not imho likely. but learned a few things in the process. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660326 << mod6 , i have adatronic block/tx parser, reencoder, done, mmaptron also! but put on hold to finish 'p' (aka 'tmsr rsa') ☝︎

asciilifeform: and, supposing they do not : was the stopping - suspicious..?

asciilifeform: do they still even nao?

asciilifeform: i wonder who else ever even mentioned subj publicly.

asciilifeform: aha, like all 'tests reveal presence, never absence..'

asciilifeform: the 'formulate as predictor' came from asciilifeform's ongoing regular stabs at breaking shitoshi's rng. ☟︎

asciilifeform: brb

asciilifeform: tests as we have them now are useful because they can reveal 'organic' damage or misdesign, e.g. stuck bits. rather than malfeasance.

asciilifeform: ( what delta over random stab in the dark does the supposed predictor give the enemy . )

asciilifeform: however there is a number of tests-for-broken-rng. my idea was strictly re an algo for how to measure their actual relevance .

asciilifeform: but function of rng AND enemy. (see ancient thread, 2014ish iirc)

asciilifeform: because it is not an arithmetic attribute .

asciilifeform: and yes, this is still same old tests, nothing magically different about them, there will ~never~ be a mechanical test for 'good rng'

asciilifeform: so next step is: once we have a sadness equation, you can take it and test its guess rate vs expected value, with new output sample.

asciilifeform: right. output ought be a 'hey schmuck, if you use this rng, i can predict, like-so...'

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: my original contention is that any test which, upon 'failure', cannot produce a sadness equation, is ill-conceived.

asciilifeform: (let's accept this range-with-hole notation.)

asciilifeform: f(n) = random(0..a9 + ab..ff)

asciilifeform: so we get a sadness equation:

asciilifeform: because the output byte is never ever 0xaa .

asciilifeform: say an rng fails the 'birthdays' test.

asciilifeform: let's take a painfully pedantic example:

asciilifeform: this is not about the tests, but the output of same

asciilifeform: ( with $guess being some particular algebraic )

asciilifeform: dieharder etc oughta output f(n) = $guess

asciilifeform: actually it was !

asciilifeform: this can be restated as a better-than-chance predictor of n-th bit of stream.

asciilifeform: let's take concrete example -- if i make a rubbish rng that leads 'ent' to conclude that pi == 4

asciilifeform: and any test that cannot be formulated in this way -- is rubbish and oughta go away

asciilifeform: but to display ~existing~ test failures in predictor-algorithm form ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660255 << again, nobody (rather, not asciilifeform) asked for general case -- it is provably impossible (see chaitin) ☝︎

asciilifeform: whitening == gluing petrol tank gauge to 'full'

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: per dijkstra's 'testing can demonstrate the presence of bugs, but never their absence' ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660248 << this ain't the problem -- already right off the bat , sane operator knows that it is physically impossible to test for ~good~ rng, only for ~bad rng~ ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( see also http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-26#1647896 thread. ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: the idiotic 'looping' cannot (afaik) be switched off. (yes i could patch the src but the result will be a nonstandard tester )

asciilifeform: ( the grade outputted by the 'hungrier' tests appears to be in direct proportion to sample size, and very little else; and FG, /dev/urandom, various fashionable prng, intel's mysterymeatrng, and several others, all exhibit same effect, 100% pass begins somewhere b/w 1-3GB sample size. ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: asciilifeform used 'dieharder' to reject a handful of screamingly defective analogue units , but currently isn't sure that it's good for much re a ~working~ one ☟︎

asciilifeform: i suppose one could pour the entire assembly into silicone...

asciilifeform: and pins, ow

asciilifeform: gotta file'em

asciilifeform: watch out , pcb dun have rounded cornerz

asciilifeform: gotta wonder if these come out of 'ints don't exist' js liquishitsoup

asciilifeform: apparently https://archive.is/QjFEm is the latest snore.

asciilifeform: incidentally, this is the town where a tattered rope from old toy balloon turned into a 'noose' and worked as pretext for butthurt 'commisions', 'diveristy ralleys', doubled funding for 'victim advocates', candlelight vigils, etc
