Although you have a doctorate, I doubt that you do research, Schlesinger wrote to a disabilities services specialist at the university, announcing his departure last week.

    mircea_popescu: but the phenomenon of "think outside the box! in the sense of out of that one and into this one!" is very widespread, which is why such shock and awe as in eg http://trilema.com/2016/an-immodest-proposal/#comment-119962
    
    mircea_popescu: and the problem is also a LOT bigger than commonly understood. a scientist's ability to produce anything meaningful is forever trapped in the superifical tension of a very narrow menisc : between him being caught in a certain box ("paradigm") but not in the other one ("orthodoxy").

    kanzure: not enough silicon of the type that is used
    
    mircea_popescu: i can promise you absolutely nobody will ever read it. in this sense "whether it's public" is not unlike rosie mcdowell wondering if her cunt's got privacy.
    
    asciilifeform: kanzure: i spilled the beans from a similar darpa conference that i attended, in the heart of the beast itself, few yrs back ( it's in the l0gz, spoiler : multilinear map homomorphic crypto is bunkum ) and still waiting for gasenwagen

    BingoBoingo: So this "Sally Hemmings And The Widower" Fanfic/novel, I'm not finding anyway to work crabapple metaphor into unifying narrative

    asciilifeform: kanzure: if the year were 1995 and you were on sci.crypt and the denizen loon is promising 'zipper that zips 100MB into 100kB' you would laugh. but you do not laugh at publickkeysignatureaggregation ?!
    
    asciilifeform: pray tell why not.
    
    asciilifeform: and this is only one of the pseudoscientific horrors that boneh is pushing today.
    
    mircea_popescu: i don't expect he's familiar.
    
    asciilifeform: ( flavoured with much proofyjuice of course )
    
    asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is explicitly mentioned in kanzure's link, which is why i use as example
    
    mircea_popescu: you don't correctly grasp the level of superficiality involved.
    
    mircea_popescu: remember, "atmospheric feeding".
    
    asciilifeform: plus obsessed over in the #wizards heathen pit where kanzure is known to dwell
    
    mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's meaningless.
    
    asciilifeform: so betcha he knows.
    
    mircea_popescu: what's the definition of "know" contemplated here ?
    
    asciilifeform: 1) knows how $algo worx 2) knows how it fails, and eventually produces phantom sigs 3) knows who pushes it 4) knows why
    
    mircea_popescu: "visually recognizes string, like parrot" or somesuch ?
    
    mircea_popescu: absolutely not.
    
    BingoBoingo: Know is a prejudicial un-solarshaded term
    
    kanzure: just last week i was in SF because http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/bitcoin-core-dev-tech/2017-09-06-signature-aggregation/
    
    asciilifeform: aha!
    
    asciilifeform: knows.
    
    kanzure: i wasn't aware that i had to report my whereabouts to you guys but whatever
    
    mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he was there in the sense wino was in bar. it takes a very special sort of someone to imagine they were there because they went to listen to the band.
    
    asciilifeform: kanzure: really nobody gives half a shit
    
    asciilifeform: i presume that d00d knows because he is not unintelligent.
    
    kanzure: you don't give me giga shits?
    
    mircea_popescu: you understand this is how the shit works, yes ? there's the bars, and there's the bar flies, and there's the indie bands. the relationship between all three is entirely coincidental.
    
    mircea_popescu: people-who-go-to-conferences, ie bar flies, will at any point be in a conference hall. this has no relation to anything else.
    
    asciilifeform: now i have nfi actually re kanzure . but boneh knows very well what he's doing.
    
    
    
    mircea_popescu: people-who-talk-at-conferences, ie indie bands, will at any point also be in a conference hall.
    
    asciilifeform: his nuremberg defense will be challenging.
    
    mircea_popescu: the whole thing is driven by the bar.
    
    asciilifeform: so kanzure wouldja humour me, and say to me why i cannot compress a 1000TB backup into a 1024byte sig
    
    mircea_popescu: ie, if it has seats and a stage there's going to be some kind of fly land on each.
    
    asciilifeform: and get it out again
    
    kanzure: anyway thanks for the encouragement about public releasing (d|i)arpa notes
    
    kanzure: why are you doing compression
    
    asciilifeform: to show how ludicrous the claim of 'aggregate N signatures into fixed space'
    
    kanzure: i thought this was about authorization
    
    asciilifeform: it is about informationtheoretical impossibility of the claim, period
    
    asciilifeform: and the inadmissibility of lossy operations in crypto
    
    mircea_popescu: you're so far from any kind of shared priors, there's absolutely no possible result here.
    
    asciilifeform: and the people who made devil's bargain with usg, supposed 'academics' who lie for money like the lowest crack whore does not.
    
    asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do regularly try to find some shared prior.
    
    mircea_popescu: i would say the matter's come to its natural conclusion : dude's came up with any of the usual explanation of why i'm rich and he's poor ; and will continue with his idiotic tack indefinitely.
    
    asciilifeform: hm i must've missed this thread
    
    mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is strictly impossible to have. he is dedicated to being stupid, and i suspect by now too old for any change to be even arguably +ev.

    mircea_popescu: alcohol is a muchly preferable addiction to usgtronic stupidity in that it actually DOES something.

    mircea_popescu: PeterL makes perfect sense.
    
    mircea_popescu: the problem with the spec as-is is that you can't actually have a message of the same bitsize as the key, but must make it -1 ; this appears to be mentioned exactly NOWHERE, which is moderately concerning.
    
    PeterL: and do you make it -1 bit or -1 byte?
    
    mircea_popescu: bit should suffice ; but might not be practically useful.
    
    mircea_popescu: incidentally, should prolly take a look at http://www.shoup.net/papers/oaep.pdf also
    
    PeterL: what is this, mircea_popescu linking a pdf?!? the scandal!
