asciilifeform: ohai mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: http://www.nugae.com/politics/index.htm << in other very olds.

asciilifeform: all piss in same pissual.

asciilifeform: the local... i hesitate to call'em 'restaurants' -- are also phasing'em out.

asciilifeform: turns out usg heard mircea_popescu . and decided to abolish'em entirely !!

asciilifeform: entomological interest.

asciilifeform: in other noose, http://www.loper-os.org/pub/umdlulz2017/index.html

asciilifeform: Framedragger: possibly the one meritorious thing cisco ever did, if true.

asciilifeform: mcfood, mchouse, mcjob, mclife makes good ol' death look pretty good in contrast.

asciilifeform: mats: forget bladerunnner. mcfood is what if not deathcult.

asciilifeform: not only 'be', but to drag the whole 1.5bn-strong middlekingdom, along for the ride.

asciilifeform: entirely, afaik, typical 'colour revolutionaries' .

asciilifeform: 'mr bond, we expect you to die!' (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: die?

asciilifeform: we have'em here, in their cult outfits, dourly waving photos of cn executioners, supposedly disassembling similar derps for organs

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-29#1649935 << loathesome dissiderp scum ☝︎

asciilifeform: lolk i'ma back to sleep

asciilifeform: ( observe, the adder cycles every time, 'needed' or no)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-29#1649794 << hatetobreakit: an algo where you can do this (e.g. the egyptian mult in my example) IS a fixtime algo. that's what they are.. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://www.nugae.com/encryption/index.htm << one of those rare, 1990s people-who-are-people .

asciilifeform: aite.

asciilifeform: does anybody want to try his hand at it before i post answer ?

asciilifeform: actually this is a 'classy' bug, turns out ☟︎

asciilifeform: 2345 = 0x929 ...

asciilifeform looks

asciilifeform: phf: paste whole routine plox?

asciilifeform: linus, involved, iirc. never mentions it today. ☟︎

asciilifeform: was a pretty typical 'brightest minds' tarpit, aha. 0 useful product.

asciilifeform: i'd naively suppose that there are more 'cyrix' left in operation today than 'transmeta'.

asciilifeform: mats: run it and see if trap? like any other oddball instr?

asciilifeform: i bet most of these were simply never scanned.

asciilifeform: observe also the 'mux', it is fundamental building block for nonbranching ops.

asciilifeform: if rsatron becomes slightly more readable, and a dozen lines shorter, and less 'clever', and as result generating key takes two days instead of 1 -- i call it a win!!

asciilifeform: imho it does not particularly matter if generating rsa key takes a second, an hour, or an entire day.

asciilifeform: phf: you will notice, i also 'de-optimized' some of the arithmetical functions, to help clarity.

asciilifeform: anyway the pdf loads.

asciilifeform: hmm, cut off

asciilifeform: phf: https://archive.is/j4Lue >> 'Умножение многозначных чисел на автоматах' (1962), subj2

asciilifeform: http://www.mi.ras.ru/~karatsuba << subj.

asciilifeform: lol!!

asciilifeform: ( karatsuba, that is. knuth afaik zombies along still. )

asciilifeform: was a titan of a man.

asciilifeform: k incidentally died not long ago iirc

asciilifeform: however it is unsuitable, because it branches.

asciilifeform: ( and gpg )

asciilifeform: phf: karatsuba's algo is in knuth

asciilifeform: ( repeated addition is not exactly physically plausible for 64b, much less 8192b multiplicand..)

asciilifeform: phf: egyptian algo is , afaik, the simplest that's at all practical

asciilifeform: ( best mod exp algo i've found appears to be 'montgomery's ladder', but i am not convinced that it can be made fixed-time ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: apparently this might be an open problem, of sorts

asciilifeform: what i don't yet have is a fixed-time modular exponentiator.

asciilifeform: ( for the given purpose )

asciilifeform: but worx.

asciilifeform: phf: the given algo isn't even 'adult', it's the old ancient egyptian one.

asciilifeform: i dun recall any of these nongreen colours on the prophet's banner.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537407 << , etc. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474772 << possible thread. ) ☝︎

asciilifeform was once sent, as 'industrial' non-talking delegate, to a lavish usg-hosted gathering of 'seasoned cryptographers'. it was mega-circus, iirc i described it in old thread.

asciilifeform: 'fortune 500' is approx as interesting as that other nomenklatura. ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'It is the most advanced and secure instant messaging protocol to date. This is why the designers got an award in front of a conference full of seasoned cryptographers and security engineers a week back for improving Real World Cryptography. ' << from turd in earlier thread. that thing is ~bottomless lulzmine. ☟︎

asciilifeform: i assume 'dubs' are the 'torpedo' you bolt to the boot, with the flames painted on ?

asciilifeform: it worx great; done in same clinic where they paint you black to lengthen cock ☟︎

asciilifeform: snoar.

asciilifeform: 'get married, grow taller!'

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: elaborate. what, they were entirely sane prior, and heiled clitler there ever after the dose ??

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this was the hope, when usg tried to package lsd as an artillery payload. 'ego dissolution'. didn't pan out. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ocelots!!

asciilifeform: 'FOF' beacon ?

asciilifeform: what's a response bot

asciilifeform: ( laugh , but usg made this mandatory on, e.g., boeing !! )

asciilifeform: and let's imagine that mircea_popescu found remotely-detonatable mine in his mercedes, and astonished to learn that it was part of the ~factory~ standard kit, and answer from vendor was 'this was, ummm, here, umm, in case someone were to STEAL your auto, believe'

asciilifeform: what drm nonsense to cure this ?

asciilifeform: 'kid on site' could also pour petrol, and light match.

asciilifeform: aaahahahaha

asciilifeform: 'hijacked by the operator' lolwat?!!

asciilifeform: *many

asciilifeform: ( and to keep in mind that there live man more liars than lunatics )

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: for starters, gotta question the sanity of anybody publicly claiming to mine.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: shitlang bitcointrons ain't new, iirc even mike hearn had one

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-23#1527876 << moar. ☝︎

asciilifeform: but what you ~cannot~ do is to perform an operation in ~other people's heads~.

asciilifeform: or 'i will never again sign with my dsa key'

asciilifeform: 'i will no longer include 1024b rsa keys in my ~/.wot' , for instance.

asciilifeform: e.g., to decide not to make use of a particular key any longer.

asciilifeform: the meaningful subset of 'key revocation' consists of solely those operations which you can do ~in your head~

asciilifeform: e.g., http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-23#1527885 ☝︎

asciilifeform: several times, even.

asciilifeform: we definitely had the 'key revocation' thread.

asciilifeform: 'i won't describe how an elephant could get to your garden, but your household is not equipped for gardening without this elephant repellent' ?

asciilifeform: why you would not also type the 'master' key ?

asciilifeform: Framedragger: describe, in this hypothetical, how my station key was stolen.

asciilifeform: or bob-with-splitbrainsyndrome

asciilifeform: ... or the thief

asciilifeform: Framedragger: how do you intend to distinguish this situation from impostor ?

asciilifeform: for any practical purpose, he ~is~ you.

asciilifeform: or whichever.

asciilifeform: or format your hd.

asciilifeform: he can also log into your box, say, and impersonate ~that~ way.

asciilifeform: how's it work ?

asciilifeform: bool HasBeenStolen(PrivKey) -- if you like.
