asciilifeform: bats_cd03: the subject has very little to do with cryptography in the usual sense. it touches on what can only be described as a philosophical confusion (a deliberately-propagated one, at that.)
asciilifeform: bats_cd03: 'random' means one thing if you're running 'monte carlo' sims (digits of 'pi' work beautifully, as does 'A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates' (rand corp, 1955. book.)) ☟︎☟︎
thestringpuller: bats_cd03: i dunno. i guess i rate things on a scale of lupin the third to cowboy bebop
asciilifeform: bats_cd03: that is - the implicit endorsement of the pseudoscientific concept of 'random'
asciilifeform: bats_cd03: the most interesting part of such articles is, as often the case - what isn't said.
thestringpuller: bats_cd03: I'm very picky with anime lol

asciilifeform: 'pardon my cynical twist, but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_? If you answer "nutt'n, I jus kinda wondered what it'd be like, you know", you should be very happy that I am most likely more than 3000 miles away from you, or I would come over and slap you hard.' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're lucky, 'google groups' might have a good fraction of it
