mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-28#1718006 << pretty lulzy. "sophisticated" has become this actual legal term in the us, meaning approximately "here's what obligations we arbitrarily foist on the other party for our own self serving reasons" ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-28 14:53 asciilifeform: 'Given the “stark difference between the abnormal rate and the actual market prices of bitcoin and ethereum on April 19”, B2C2, which Quoine called a “sophisticated” investor with experience trading virtual currencies, should have suspected the “abnormal rate” was a mistake. '

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-28#1718014 << this conceivable is of the same nature of conception as "wilkes proved there's no elliptic curves without modular forms, therefore we can use ecc instead of rsa" ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-28 15:00 asciilifeform: ( and it is entirely conceivable that some variation on the theme of bbp's function will give you a fast search for 'where in pi might this fuzzy match be' and the like )

asciilifeform: not so : bbp-like construction makes for inexpensive ~rewind~ when walking the digits, whereas hashes at least try to make it painful

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-28#1718015 << minimum case. the average case is of relatively little interest here. what interests is hardest case, to design solutions for problems (what is currently 100% of all theoretic work done), and minimum case, to guarantee hardness, which is 0% of work done and 100% of republican interest. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-28 15:09 asciilifeform: the fundamental boojum preventing anything like a rationally designed blockcipher-hash-prng , is that we do not actually have a theory of average-case problem hardness.

mircea_popescu: average case has no value for this later branch ; has some limited value for the former branch, to see how "eccentric" the upper bound is.

asciilifeform: oh ffs why we gotta have same thread twice. minimal case is ALWAYS O(1) , it consists of... knowing the answer ahead of time

asciilifeform: i.e. having the key

asciilifeform: the concept of 'minimal case for someone who doesn't know the key' is not meaningfully distinct from 'average case'

mircea_popescu: we're not discussing that nonsense. we're discussing the actual blind case.

asciilifeform: demonstrate the distinction ?

mircea_popescu: suppose there's a function that does hashing over a domain consisting of 2^100 possible distinct values.

asciilifeform supposes

mircea_popescu: consider the work required to reverse it has been calculated for each value, and is in the domain [a, b].

mircea_popescu: the point of interest for the "max case" is b. the point of interest to us is a. the "average case" is either a+b/2 or else ni * weight i / sum i.

mircea_popescu: trivially the average, weighted or not, will be inside the domain and not the lower bound of the domain.

asciilifeform: i get this, this isn't the problem. problem is the dismissal of the knowing-the-answer degenerate case

mircea_popescu: what interests me, when you say "alfhash is 5 trillion hours strong" is that ANY VALUE i pass into alfhash will be reversed in NO LESS than 5 trillion hours.

mircea_popescu: i don't care that "on average it's 5 trillion but for the value you chose it's two weeks"

asciilifeform: i get this. and would like one of these. but strongly suspect that it is a provably square circle.

asciilifeform: i've been asking for it since we 1st had the thread, lol

mircea_popescu: the correct measurement of hash strength includes two parties, defined as : party A, which knows the plaintext and computes the hash ; and party B, which does not know the plaintext and computes it on the basis of nothing but the hash.

mircea_popescu: a modelling in which b knows the plaintext breaks this definition, and it is therefore not interesting.

asciilifeform: incidentally i just realized that von neumann had this thread. and modelled the item in shannon's terms : he asked that the ciphertext contain 0 bits of info re the plaintext. and proved that this is true if and only if you're using... otp

mircea_popescu: in the common understanding of "hash is hard", what is said is "B can not make any grounded promise that his effort will require less than X work for an arbitrary item chosen by A"

asciilifeform: but as i understand we asked for a squarer even circle : that 'CAN make grounded promise that effort will require AT LEAST x'

mircea_popescu: whereas in the correct, crypto-relevant understanding of "hash is hard", what is said is "B can make grounded promise that his effort will require at least X work" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "for as long as the plaintext went through alfhash, it is known as a mathematical fact, irrespecvtive of any considerations, that so many steps must be undertaken to undo it"

mircea_popescu: (this being something i suspect mpfhf fambly MAY be amenable to proving, but i've yet to get anywhere)

asciilifeform: the thing is, 'knows answer ahead of time' is not an all-or-nothing. in any non-otp ( i.e. 1:1 mapping of plaintxt to ciphertxt ) there is nonzero bittage of info in ciphertext, of plaintext

asciilifeform: von neumann proved it

mircea_popescu: "in any amount of water there's some nonzero information as to the original solutes"

asciilifeform: if atom did not exist, this would be true

mircea_popescu: but anyway, there's a difference between "it in principle exists" and anything useful.

asciilifeform: that's the subject of inquiry, neh

asciilifeform: until you have a proof, a hash, cipher, etc. is 'strong until it ain't'

mircea_popescu: i suppose to get fancy we're inquiring whether information is quantified. fine.

asciilifeform: fortunately shannon did this already

asciilifeform: as for the subj of thread, it would also seem to asciilifeform that it in fact reduces to the P =?= NP megapuzzler.

asciilifeform: or rather, requires a proof that P!=NP...

mircea_popescu: in any case, the former statement is an exercise in psychotic nonsense. how the fuck can you demand someone NOT be able to whatever.

mircea_popescu: the evidently philosophically correct formulation is the second, being positive not negative.

asciilifeform: ( iirc last time we had the thread, mircea_popescu dug up a few even-moar-painful complexity classes, to place the dragon into. and asciilifeform had to point out that THEIR disjointness from P is equally unproven )

mircea_popescu: actually i recall at some point bring well known super -NP, proven as such, classes.

asciilifeform: note that, e.g., game of go, is exptime-complete but turns out that good algo exists. complexity class as we have it is a broken concept, which was asciilifeform's argument to start

a111: Logged on 2017-09-28 18:29 BingoBoingo: "That's exactly the problem. Yesterday I ate a most delicious desert out of my slavegirl's own ass, directly.

mircea_popescu: a...ficcionados (lol) can readily resolve the problem though : douche the girl, then anally feed her a banana for buffer, then load her up in whatever flavour you favour and then proceed to dinner. ☟︎

asciilifeform: bbbut howmanydilutions!111

asciilifeform: bananutions

mircea_popescu: one of the most fascinating things about anal perversity is that the colon seems particularily eager to enter dual use regime.

mircea_popescu: all the people going "oh, it's against nature" have NO FUCKING IDEA whatsoever as to nature.

asciilifeform: i suppose holding a knife between yer teeth, or a flute, etc is also 'against nature' lol

asciilifeform: and if you lick a 9v cell your tongue dereferences a null ptr and falls off, neh

asciilifeform: picture if these imbeciles designed a body for some creature.

asciilifeform: 'oh but Who Could Have Foreseen!'

asciilifeform: aha, it never really made sense

asciilifeform: re hashes, an old article of possible interest , https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0012023

asciilifeform: ^ offers a solution to the megapuzzler, but takes 'complexity classes ARE disjoint' as a lemma.

asciilifeform: ( as conjecture, rather )

asciilifeform: afaik that piece remains 'the last word' on the subj, from the maths folx.

asciilifeform: ( the flimflam artists who call themselves 'cryptographers' studiously avoid the subject, and will recoil in horror -- guaranteed, try it yerself -- when confronted. )

asciilifeform: i highly recommend reading.

asciilifeform: sane discussion of the question, followed by an answer you can go with ( because if it turns out that oneway functions do NOT exist, all crypto other than otp is worthless )

asciilifeform: quite possibly mircea_popescu read it at some point. but did not yet have the correct itch, to appreciate.

mircea_popescu: heck, i recently linked to some lulz discussing that. recall cads and his fabled gf ?

asciilifeform: the thing's been in my queue for a while, marked with 'determine what all of the assumptions were'

mircea_popescu: and it requires more than that, if you step out of haskell and try to c, nonsense such as "universal computability", which falls apart the moment you are invited to do relatively "simple" things such as write cubes as sums of coprimes raised to large powers.

asciilifeform: dunno that it is a conjecture when the working set consists strictly of items you can have on a physical comp

mircea_popescu: none of this is dispositive ; what i'm saying here is that im pretty sure i read this, and it didn't come through as much more than tyhe usual math grad wank to me.

asciilifeform: hey if yer gonna take 'presently impossibly difficult' to mean same thing as 'uncomputable', then sha256 is goodenuff

asciilifeform: but thread is re provables.

asciilifeform: if it's a problem in the integers, and it has an answer, it is 'possible'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no cube can be written as a sum of two co-primes raised to the power of three or above.

mircea_popescu: the 3 case is proven by euler. the > 3 case flows from you know, wiles' work.

mircea_popescu: it's the converse of the modular math / elliptic curves geometry equivalence.

asciilifeform: oh hah i mentally mutilated mircea_popescu's item into discretelogproblem, because of thread subj

mircea_popescu: right, but that's the very important point there, you don't get it without mutialrtion.

asciilifeform: impossibles dun make for useful crypto, tho

mircea_popescu: right, but what i'm saying is that the original article is much in this vein.

asciilifeform: you want possibles-but-demonstrably-painfuls

asciilifeform: i dun have a verdict on $article yet. will say that it is simply, afaik, the beginning and the end publicly available on the subj.

asciilifeform: other than our thread here.

mircea_popescu: anyway. my point is that the idea that "a practical implementation of the axion of choice always exists" is way WAY further out there than simply thje axiom of choice. WAY. because even "trivial" things (find the coprime n powers that sum to cube) are in point of FACT, know, proven, concrete poured and long dry, strictly incomputable.

mircea_popescu: so what help is it, "any f has its g" if g is in point of fact incomputable, at ALL.

asciilifeform: author ~does~ have some strange cockroaches in his head: cites shamir's 'proof that factoring can be O(log N)' but omits to mention that it requires a machine that works in arbitrarily-sized integers in constant time...

mircea_popescu: so to sum this up in our lingua franca : one kind of fool says "this confuses me and therefore must be hard". the OTHER kind of fool says "this seems immediately beautiful and to my eyes elegant and therefore must be easy".

mircea_popescu: seems to me the main reason $item stood out to your examination is that in a sea of former fools you finally found a latter kind.

asciilifeform: again i dun have a verdict re the verdict of $subj, all i got in my notes is 'd00d appears to have stated the problem correctly'

asciilifeform will come back to this item at some point , when it works its way out of his very long digestive tract

mircea_popescu: i'd propose as heuristics from this that the moment anyone proposes either a) a computable corolary of ZFC, no matter its kind or b) a computable corolary of AOC, no matter its kind, we're lost for reason.

mircea_popescu: because neither of these, even if wrung into acceptability in the most theoretical sense, come with any sort of even vague hope of a possibility of a guarantee of computability.

asciilifeform: apparently you dun get usg.tenure for working on proofs concerning items that map directly to iron

asciilifeform: asciilifeform for instance notices that his phone is not ringing with offers of tenure.

asciilifeform: the one non-negotiable demand of usg.academia, is uselessness.

mircea_popescu: in any case tenure is not like bushels of pistachios, to be offered in trade. it's like "true love", very much of the sociopathic ilk seen in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-26#1717417 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: they'll "offer you" to take them and set their fat ass down in a $5mn apartment in a condo overlooking the pierre.

asciilifeform: ( point was, academitards swarm around 'demonstrations of clever' glass beads rather than items that demonstrably work, as discussed in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-02#1621290 and elsewhere ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: 64bit mips thing, there was a thread

asciilifeform: another pretty good one is that very same pcengines box, from ~that~ thread

asciilifeform: just about anything with a few GB nic ports, fanless cpu, and some place to stick netbsd etc, worx

asciilifeform: also helps if it has a serial port ( mine do )

asciilifeform: maintaining?!

asciilifeform: you stick it on and weld it shut

asciilifeform: why would a router care re privesc

mircea_popescu: that at any future point you must be able to produce a package you're willing to label "openbsd"

asciilifeform: router is a pretty simple item, incidentally, and a good first candidate for proper total deunixation

mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, but i was just making the point for his benefit that his elaborately crafted turd is not so much better than the 40 bux consumer turd.

mircea_popescu: "oh, i never eat at mcdonalds, i always cook all my meals at home out of cheese squares and hormel pork sausage"

asciilifeform: eats packet (on either end), looks at a few fields, either accepts (then rewrites a few fields and shits out of other arse) or rejects (drops on floor)

asciilifeform: so on ad infinitum

asciilifeform: there's no particular reason why a router oughta contain a few 100MB of unixlike, rather than, say, a few kB of fpga config.

asciilifeform wonders whether anybody would actually buy a generic fpgatronic packet eater-shitter ☟︎

mircea_popescu: if it can be delivered a la FG, and it doesn't cost MUCH more than the current shits, defo.

asciilifeform: would prolly cost roughly what you'd expect it to if you napkin calc.

asciilifeform: ( hundy or so, in small qty , by my reckoning )

asciilifeform: 'edge' was a hundy, but it had nice steel chassis, etc. ( and also i suspect sold at a loss, stock firmware was brazenly nsaware )

asciilifeform: pogo's only got 1 nic

asciilifeform: trinque: aha, worx great

asciilifeform: that's typically what they're used for

mircea_popescu: does 3 nics mean you could plug it into two internets and have it splice ?

asciilifeform: trinque: theoretically they still have the port, it just dun work without amd magic key

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it means exactly what your own handmade box with 3 nics means -- can splice, balance, whichever

mircea_popescu: well, i would defo buy a bunch of these if properly set up so they can be ip x in wan1 and ip y in wan2 and then establish sessions through the least decongested one at all times.

mircea_popescu: so different pages in kitten's self-same browser think they're different ips.

mircea_popescu: in fact, i'd even declare it an absolutely required bit of republican computing, as such. because it does make a first step towards the specifically stated uci goal, "location ambiguity"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can they hang like 8 lan ports off the 2nd nic ? and can they not have fucking wireless, too ? DUN DUN DUN, perfect final hop router.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'edge' has 1 usb hole , and it is inside, holds the flash stick it runs of. so not really a place to put wireless. 'pcengines' has 2 usb holes and 3 internal pci-e, plus antenna hole predrilled, so theoretically yes

asciilifeform typically has separate boxes for 80211, in places where he has the latter

asciilifeform: possibly i misread q

asciilifeform: as 'can it have wireless'

asciilifeform: but no, neither comes with wireless nic, wtf

asciilifeform: who the fuck would put wireless nic in a final hop router, lol

mircea_popescu: i'd buy shit without wireless in preference of shit with, even if same exact shit.

mircea_popescu: the only fucking reason wireless exists is the dumbass "smartphones". fucking civilisation enders.

asciilifeform: then good noose -- both of the example boxes, contain strictly classic nics

mircea_popescu: and speaking of freenode bs : "* - A massive thank you to our sponsors and exibitors: Private Internet Access, Canonical, Bytemark, yubico, Open Rights Group, Free Software Foundation, OpenSUSE, Minetest, KDE, bitcoin.com."

mircea_popescu: somehow, and i have yuet to pierce this mystery, people on the side of pantsuit always assume they own the world, natively. whereas people on the side of the republic, at least verbally, always assume the opposite, and start derping about how i've to prove shit and so on. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: you won't hear Ireality Winner derp about how "what proof can Pantsuited Hilarity bring ?"

mircea_popescu: her line isn't "maybe it's good that fox news is on because what proof does sanders have that it isn't ?"

mircea_popescu: a restatement of the old adage, "the problem with socialism is that idiots are always cocksure ; everyone else, full of doubts"

asciilifeform: 'proof' , also note, ain't magic: there were and still somewhere are folx doubting , e.g., output of phuctor, even though all that is needed to verify is a copy of bc, python, whichever calculator, and a few min.

mircea_popescu: laziness is immediate. reason works through the mediacy of the most fragile, most expensive, least dependable mechanism known in nature.

asciilifeform: you can lead a swine to perls but you can't make him... or how did it go.

asciilifeform: fermentation in unrefrigerated world aint optional

asciilifeform: so imho no puzzler there

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that it is almost a tracer for "eastern european plains" genotypes. whereas azn ppls had alcohol for thousand+ years longer.

asciilifeform: this ^ is first time i see 'chinese' and 'depressive disorder' in same sentence

mircea_popescu: i will point it out that prior to say 1500, people didn't see "sioux" and "drunkedness" in same sentence either.

asciilifeform: what's next, dystrophic americans..?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Taq1A is on of the few genetic markers with STRONG behavioral predictive relation
