mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is a point that should be reviewed. is it the case that EACH 600 bytes lose 20, or is it the case that ALL bytes past the 580th are gone ?

mircea_popescu: more's the point here : does that pos actually work so as to get any entropy past the 600 bytes pool ?
mircea_popescu: situation : you go to make key with stock gpg, set it to 4096, ie 512 bytes. it makes you the sign key with 512 entropy bytes, then makes you the encrypt key wirth the remainder 68, and that's it.
mircea_popescu: seems prepasterous in that such narrow space'd have been evident by now
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also importantly, is it the first 20 or the last 20 ? he's claiming the last 20.

mircea_popescu: yes yes, but what log_hexdump does is, it dumps from memory starting at address going for count. pretty straightforward.
mircea_popescu: ok. and this does not actually correspond to the numeric format as used by gpg's bignum because mpi reasons.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger well he got a little excited. but the original observation was pretty scary, which is what got every hand on deck following along (me, mod6 etc)
Framedragger: `log_hexdump` was being used incorrectly? (i'm only catching up, hey)

mircea_popescu: oh and also asciilifeform : e not to be provided by user. tmsr-rsa uses 0x010001 and that's that.
trinque: makes me suspect that reflecting upon one's actions evolved much later than this mindless imitation of what didn't kill some other guy *today*, and that most walkers entirely lack the former.
mircea_popescu: all these bullshit knobs attached to nothing / nothing useful / nothing important, while the ACTUAL important parts aren't exposed.

mircea_popescu: (why 0x010001 ? yes, it's a magic number. but it has magic reasons : 1) it is prime ; 2) it is the fastest multiplication on a 64 bit machine, because it's just a concatenation ; 3) could make it even longer by the same process, but that has a significant impact on speed with no visible security benefit. so it's magic for a god damned reason.)
trinque: not much sad about it; that one person might be free if he achieves it does not mean all are capable of this. further, individual freedom requires having political control of others.

trinque: ^^ output of trinque's digested youthful anarchism
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's altogether unclear how much political control over others is required for individual freedom. certainly political control OVER IDIOTS, which includes small children, as well as all the adults with the mind of a small child.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));
mircea_popescu: suppose i set my keys to be produced with 1mb of entropy.
mircea_popescu: none of your business ; and how you propose this to work ?
mircea_popescu: i thought providing keccak as default is elegant ; but can also provide xoring scheme
mircea_popescu: (caveat fanaticus : while you probably want some ent redundancy for your key, a whole mb for a few kb key is drastically overshooting it. diminishing returns clip any conceivable benefit past a factor of maybe 8)
mircea_popescu: in and of itself, there's nothing dishonest about any code. now imagine dude who keeps putting up this pretense and keeps aluding to his skillz and hunk... then in bedroom he takes slippers off to reveal dildo ductaped on.

mircea_popescu: read up on that crazy shit sometime, it's epitomical for the current us.
mircea_popescu: (short version : lawyer lobby added law on books that allows them to sue anything that doesn't have a warning label on ; there's 0 enforcement from anyone but the lawyer mafia ; and for that matter no penalty for mislabeling anything ; consequently all of california is today a huge sticker reading "this item is known to the state of california to cause cancer")
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well not everyone lives in the mordor swamps.
mircea_popescu: "Miss out on Comic-Con? Relive all the action at Comic-Con with IMDb's Comic-Con 2016 Guide." << dude, if there's anything to miss it's the underage nuts, wtf is a guide gonna do.
thestringpuller: so all these thugs turned rapper are lying to their constituents?
mircea_popescu: and i also can't read "depdfization" any other way than "depizdification"
mircea_popescu: honestly im not impressed with the whole scheme , whether fixed or not.
mircea_popescu: dafuq is any of that dumb shit and da fuck is 44+20+20
mircea_popescu: i went to math school, they never taught me that theorem.
mircea_popescu: why not make it 88 + 40 + 40 then and while on it, why not fuck their ugly fucking mother.
mircea_popescu: so fucking strange for the sort of idiot who imagines "all people are equal" to constantly be finding SPECIAL integers.
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking special integers. they're all equal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform after the whole "oh, mp cares about beingmentioned on our obscure mail list" debacle coupla days ago, i actually had this measured.
mircea_popescu: if one of these shits gets read by 3 people, it's a high water mark.
mircea_popescu: yawell. to quote from this great link, "I’m just back from ContainerCamp and Gluecon and I’m going to Dockercon next week. Really excited about the way the industry is moving - making everything simpler and more reliable. It’s the future!"
mircea_popescu: ahahaha first prize by "our judges" to sole submission ?
mircea_popescu: o wait, and the whole shit is a miserable vessenes spam domain trying to capitalize on underhanded c ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do you keep linking this irrelevant crap in here omg.
mircea_popescu: what blind ? they're not blind anymore than gut bacteria is blind
mircea_popescu: and do you know why it exists ? because it counts on grannies and alf to get confused by the content, as if words have meaning OF THEMSELVES, not of context, and click/spread the link.
mircea_popescu: understand : propaganda doesn't want you to agree. it just wants you to participate. dun matter so much what value you participate with, which is the point.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with "fuck you torun, none of you are smart enough to know how this was done."
mircea_popescu: but really, the only message that's worth broadcasting is some variation of "fuck you, you're not good enough and i don't like you."
mircea_popescu: it's like... midnight shopping channel decided to open a tcm competitor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform guy's very representative ; got nothing to stand for and nothing to stand with.
mircea_popescu: way the fuck better than "polite" derp jamming hbo or whatever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: to be perfectly clear, none of that stupid shit is "the future", nor even much of the present.
mircea_popescu: there's no space in any conceivable future for "that whole docker and cointainer thing" ; nor actually for "apps".
mircea_popescu: html5 had a fighting chance as "not just text" ; it lost. this shit is dumber still, with a larger ground to cover still, with less talent and intellectual capacity involved ; and with the corporate nonsense that formed the original impetuus, from apple "app store" to cisco via intel/amd fritzchips etc dying left and right. the bottom's already fell out of apple store, there's no revenue made, and all these idiots can go back
mircea_popescu: So reactions to Docker are not necessarily based on the technology itself. Most haters are not really reacting to Docker’s solutions to important and complex problems. Mostly, this is because those problems are ones you might not have noticed if you haven’t spent time scaling big systems. If you don’t intuitively and deeply understand what’s meant by “cattle not pets” << it is directly obvious to me what is meant
mircea_popescu: by "cattle not pets", for the record ; there's a difference between the people who actually understand the problems involved and the inept clowd of usian aspie 14%ers who wish to pretend like they have big town problems, who knows, maybe someone gives them a big town salary.

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.'
jurov: asciilifeform you forgot i have several actual borosilicate teapots, bohemian glass that claims to conform to ISO for borosilicate glass. and they sell to da US. it's in the logs
jurov: but complaining about pyrex is easier, I get that.
mircea_popescu: jurov believe it or not they export here. i've been buying exceptional lead glass wine/champagne etc stem glasses.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform his argument is that it fits the spec for performance. which it does.
jurov: yes it never broke due to heat/cold
mircea_popescu: one of the hugest scams of all time, my parents' house hosted numerous clear and colored bohemian glass pots, most a few lbs in weight
mircea_popescu: i guess i lived in the swarovski prince of bell air's mansion.
mircea_popescu: (seriously guise - buy bohemian crystal flutes ; then have fun with the girl making literal music together.)
jurov: it will be non destructive. unless usg exchanges the teapot for non-borosilicate in transit, in what case you don't need it after all
jurov: but you'll be vindicated they have blown the exact shape specially for you
mircea_popescu: if soviet us were any good, they'd just replace it with a normal china teapot
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo send the man a congratulatory email ? since it turns out you linked him first. << Gotta catch up on log to figure out who I am congratulating on what.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, got a link to the original discussion re merits of urbit right before you sold your whatever it was, battlestarisland
ben_vulpes: hrm. can't find the canonical ox and flies link
thestringpuller thanks asciilifeform for inspiration for a rap song "war on pyrex"
BingoBoingo: Maybe he shows or doesn't, but at least either blogger or spam filter has been congratulated.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-02 03:29 herbijudlestoids: has anyone come up with any useful use cases for urbit? all i could think of was a mutt clone lol
mircea_popescu: i dunno who took the russian-kalash-guy act seriously.
shinohai: suppositories or unlubed broom handles?
trinque: $s from:asciilifeform the pig likes it
trinque: mental compression vs log search, fight!
BingoBoingo: shinohai: What are the latter but a subset of suppositories?
deedbot: fromphuctor voiced for 30 minutes.
trinque: "wow you guys. you know what I learned today?" (tm) (r)
shinohai: Thanks Stephan for taking the time to use your new crayons to explain it all.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck told these idiots that their soul is worth anything or presents some sort of interest to anyone.
shinohai: It's ok, he learned his lesson, won't happen again.
shinohai: Speaking of South American countries, should I suspect Columbia to be a horrid shithole?
shinohai: Like, hundreds of people on mopeds and muudy streets
shinohai makes note to look into transportation modes further.
mircea_popescu: o holy shit, heroku was acquired by salesforce.com in 2010.
mircea_popescu: jesus these idiots couldn't be more transparent fi they tried.

phf: ben_vulpes: i remember there was functionality to not expire wotpastes if they are in the log. what do you need me to provide you with in order to get that operational again?
mircea_popescu: phf really, saving logged links has ~nothing to do with the (imo correct) functionality of pastes expiring
phf: mircea_popescu: oh? that must've changed since last time we had conversation about it
