asciilifeform: asciilifeform finally found a rng-usable beta decay source that is permitted in every country's post office, available worldwide, and for a few bux per kg : ordinary KCl.
asciilifeform: would not be so difficult for enemy to determine who has one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on contemplation, cars may not be a very good hiding place, they ( esp in usa ) routinely move through chokepoints - toll archs, and these are already equipped with camera and radio receivers
asciilifeform: incidentally, esp8266 has an analogue-in
asciilifeform: ideally ( and this was in the gps jammer thread ) your transmitter won't be a point source, either -- but a chorus of ~synchronized~ transmitters far apart, in polygonal pattern
asciilifeform: (gru knew this simple fact in 1950s. don't morse by hand, morse with paper tape rolled by clockwork, over in 1s or so. apparatus fit in suitcase.)
asciilifeform: phf: likewise when it operates in msec bursts
asciilifeform: phf: fox hunt when transmitter walks from dc to daylight is a difficult proposition, unless you're in near field (inductive) range already
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, Official amateur radio international treaty forbids crypto (and... music)
asciilifeform: phf: naturally pirate, and frequency hop pattern exchanged cryptographically
asciilifeform: 'developed by Trevor Perrin and Moxie Marlinspike in 2013'
asciilifeform: 'Matrix provides state of the art end-to-end encryption in beta using the Olm and Megolm cryptographic ratchets, and ensuring that only explicitly authorized devices can participate in a conversation. Based on the Double Ratchet Algorithm popularised by Signal...'
asciilifeform: looks like we can all go home and eat nagant folx!11111 a hero has risen , and written gossipd in gendercommitlang!11111
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re rocket attack : 'Российское военное ведомство сообщило, что были уничтожены склад, учебный корпус, столовая, шесть находившихся в ремонтных ангарах самолетов МиГ-23 и радиолокационная станция.' << not just asphalt, apparently
asciilifeform: ( according to the b00k, most folx die in airplane because of ~thinking~ )
asciilifeform: and, from what i read -- of pilotage school also
asciilifeform: this is reminiscent of marksmanship training, where trainee fights his idiot reflexes -- overaiming, oversqueezing
asciilifeform: but imho the logical end of it is proper mechanization.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-07#1640141 << Framedragger is correct, there is a wwwtronic (and rfc4880-parsing) front end, that is in python; and a wholly separate werker that actually does the number crunching, in c.☝︎
asciilifeform: ty for taking the sweat to puzzle over this, trinque .
asciilifeform: i'ma have to do some rtfm, to figure out how trinque's snippet worx.
asciilifeform dusts off notebook, listens to trinque
asciilifeform: for some of whom -- we may already know it, and have it in the indices
asciilifeform: it can potentially belong to 10,000,001 mods.
asciilifeform: ( a factor belongs to ~one or more~ mods )
asciilifeform: thing is, it also has to update the respective mod's factors indices array
asciilifeform: trinque: can i , purely using sql query, force it to not attempt write ( and -- importantly -- to take no locks ! ) if an item already exists ?☟︎
asciilifeform: is this in point of fact any faster than running a search and ensuring that there is no eggog query submitted ?
asciilifeform: trinque: what happens if a unique constraint is violated ? afaik -- query eggogs
asciilifeform: it handles 3 cases : new factor of old modulus that had some known factors; new factor of modulus that had no known factors; old factor of modulus that had some known factors.
asciilifeform: factors get created by the werker process (in c, and unable to do anything whatsoever other than to search for whether a particular factor already exists)
