mircea_popescu: "Studying individual ants will never (one can safely say never for most such situations), never give us an idea on how the ant colony operates. For that, one needs to understand an ant colony as an ant colony, no less, no more, not a collection of ants." aaaand we lose interest.
mircea_popescu: (likbez : ant worker is not genetically distinct from ant queen. epigenetics (mostly, env factors - as in feed) make the fenotypical distinction. consequently yes, whole anthill, as far as its underlying mechanics go, is found in each worker ant, all you have to do is sequence the dna and explore the possibilities. that such is currently a computationally prohibitive task is not relevant to the discussion.)
mircea_popescu: (likbez #2 : ant colony, nature's finest example of star topology, is for this reason uniquely bad example for the (correctly defined) "complex system". the boom-bust cycle of rabbits and other small rodents much better examples. complex systems are made of like parts, not worker-queen sorta nonsense.)

mircea_popescu: "ida, tell me the truth. that last one - is he mine ?"
danielpbarron: at least in the line i quoted, it ends with the husband getting killed. It's better for a man to die than for him to live with his wife taken by another. (2 Samuel 11)
mircea_popescu: moral being that at some point you will have to decide what you want the woman to do. she'll execute your priorities, if she's any good, but they must be clear in your head first of all. so : do you want strong boys to work your farm, or don't you ?
danielpbarron: i would want my wife to not commit adultery; that's more important than whatever benefits might arise from such an act
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron this is your choice to make. but be aware that there's a perfectly valid interpretation of that joke where the dying man is actually proud of the competent ho on his side.

mircea_popescu: there's nothing intrinsically unswappable in a laptop. just, manufacturers elect to be idiots.

mircea_popescu: yeah this entire "id of rsa key" thing needs a fix. i imagine sha512 of tmsr standard is the only way to go.
mircea_popescu: problem is you want a modulus-comment association no ?
mircea_popescu: actually, why the fuck are we even using "base 56", which is braindamaged (no 1 AND no l ? really ?) when we should really be using base-120 or somesuch, ascii-high-byte half.
mircea_popescu: ascii 36 through 126 inclusive (91 elements). much better.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ideally tmsr rsa, such as for eulora etc, uses a fp and armored base90 as above. so there!
mircea_popescu: because hex takes 2 characters per byte ; whereas this would take ~1.232 characters/byte
mircea_popescu: that's not really related is it ? all i'm discussing is a) fingerprint and b) armorer format.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, base-tmsr=` !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuVWXYZ{|}~`
mircea_popescu: neways, 95 characters. 95^1.2177 = 256.02008. 2/1.2177 = 1.642440667.
mircea_popescu: the one remaining cowlick is, should fingerprint cover the whole e, N, comment ?
mircea_popescu: i am in favour of includingthe comment. for the following two reasons :
mircea_popescu: a) it becomes no longer obvious for enemy whether key is or is not = key he wants to look for.
mircea_popescu: b) i do not regard a modulus with a new comment pasted in as "same".
mircea_popescu: if owner asks "which this" you are not sufficiently connected so as for you to has his key.
mircea_popescu: machine processes ; people spread/administer. that's rsa key lifecycle.
mircea_popescu: it's not "the sks server" that is retarded. is the concept of machine-spread rsa key that's retarded ; much in the way of "machine-generated trust", be it embodied in "dao" or "colored coins" or "safe bitbet"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why should it care ? keep it so it doesn't rot.
mircea_popescu: anyway, fp is "checksum" de facto - if your modulus rotted it will no longer match the fingerprint
mircea_popescu: the first time you encounter them you're in the presence of their owner.
mircea_popescu: much like dali certifies all copies ; he certifies yours.
mircea_popescu: i want it to work this way though. if you take away my comment from my key and add something about how "miss piggy is the hawtest!!1" it's not, in my view, the same item.
mircea_popescu: though material encrypted to it will still only be readable by me.
mircea_popescu: sure. some classes : as it's unnecessary in the discussed scheme, it 1) adds weaknes through requiring unneeded computation ; 2) gives crevice for shitgnomery for no reason (see anvin bs) ; 3) possibly creates weakness through unnecessary computation on key generation
mircea_popescu: as it's not acctually correctly designed it 1) creates false sense of security ; 2) creates unnecessary byzantinism and "can't pop the hood on this"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 3) as it's theoretically nonsensical, it feeds a bunch of idiotic yet unconscious expectations in the mind of the user. i am well convinced that the general "i'll pull myself by own breeches" attitude of "creative" people is both due to and resulting in the gpg selfsig
mircea_popescu: the fact that it appears to breeds idiocy in the youth.
mircea_popescu: the fact that the youth is imbecile crates such designs
mircea_popescu: this is the problem with socialist solutions : they cap the benefit certainly ; and offer some solution that half works. so you've traded the long tail of the future for the guarantee of current failure.
phf: selfsig seems like a side effect of meta information on key, which should be handled by "separate bits signed by key" anyway
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you agree to package it separately, add to that "no automated signing of anything" and you've got my position.
phf: mircea_popescu: oh bunch of random shit, first name last name comment date generated random DOS era flags. all the stuff that's been brought up before
mircea_popescu: phf they COULD just have made that "Comment" in some serialization and did the fp over it like i propose and been scott free.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the "selfsig" comes in the form of "i obtained this key of mp from verified channel to mp".that's the sig.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't come from "this item assures me it is this item"
phf: well, primes stand on their own, then there's clientside mapping mp -> sexp of primes. anything else can be distributed by any other channel, including "with key", signed by the primes.
mircea_popescu: as they say, "save this sort of idea for when your father gives you your part of heavenly kingdom"
mircea_popescu: phf the only problem is that i want the comment to also be in there.
phf: mircea_popescu: comment needs to be separately signed?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not manually ; but you will get a notification from me saying "please use 54kh6kl54j3l45 instead of ,mn54,35lkjh4l3 from now on. it's the same modulus".
phf: asciilifeform: wouldn't there just be a process to work with primes primes directly?
mircea_popescu: and you can check that it is, but only BECAUSE you are you and have them both.
mircea_popescu: and importantly, to continue this discussion asciilifeform , enemy can not reconstruct fp on the basis of intercepting your comms to me.
mircea_popescu: not that you couldn't overload it horribly ("if this statement is signed by lkfjl5k shoot obama ; if it is signed by 3k4j5lkj54 shoot trump"signed) means what ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, cast iron pots make best corn poppers omg.
mircea_popescu: the "noob can't think" argument can be used by me too, you know.
mircea_popescu: but we're not here to serve the consumer. we're here to make things right.
trinque: asciilifeform: that wasn't known before it ran though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd rather detach the "waht use is phuctor" from current discussion.
mircea_popescu: moreover, asciilifeform , the design doesn't PREVENT me from signing my own fp and publishing the fp - e,N,c set so signed.
mircea_popescu: it just doesn't implement a braindamaged half-sorta-thing
mircea_popescu: yeah, been thinking about that. my current idea on the topic being - that it's stupid to do THAT, because the key is subnode not overnode of algo.
mircea_popescu: and i would propose this as an example of the pernicious effects of category 3 of bad stuff selfsig did. it made people think "key" is "identity". when in fact it's algo->key.
mircea_popescu: yes, but i suspect we solve all that through not including idiocy in the spec.
mircea_popescu: should we tomorrow move to cs crypto, there'd be no reason to "upgrade" "extant" rsa keys.
mircea_popescu: just make new keys, why carry along the twin headed eagle of austria.
mircea_popescu: now asciilifeform if cs were well specified and well understood from usage ; i wouldn't be against making "key" ambiguous as to which of rsa, cs it is.
mircea_popescu: at the cost of what, carrying the implementation i nthe key ?
mircea_popescu: i'd like to leave this matter open for further thinking.
mircea_popescu: there's a time for that. some spaces really could do without a lot of cruft.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless - we're fortunate, in that the job for eulora is for rsa only.
mircea_popescu: should provide some decent basis for later improvement

BingoBoingo: trinque: If feed on personal blog fucks up feel free to remove. Updates atm are infrequent enough to manually drop.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i seem to recall that kako was 'audiophile', which lends some credence to your theory
shinohai: probably because in rush I forgot proper tags
BingoBoingo: AHA pete_dushenski, "It works when you work it"
shinohai: BingoBoingo graciously accommodates my faults
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> heh. aaand a trb node is at height 419220 for absolutely no reason ; 50+ connections, stable etc. << did this get fixed? or is it stuck at that same block still?
