asciilifeform: then again, the folks who (see mp's essay) reinvented caesar's cipher might well use it.
asciilifeform: simplest scheme - straight payload in low bits of colour channels.
asciilifeform: this is actually a very tame hypothesis. intel agencies traditionally plant dangles for their colleagues of other (not necessarily unfriendly) kingdoms. and, given the u.s. being a fractured empire, why not dangles for... their fellows.

asciilifeform: <robwizz22> complete lie, meant to play on people's recognition of the word "heartbleed bug" without knowing what it is.

Selling snake oil? Being a fraud?
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> the shelf usb storage to store a private key and pass phrase). You are lying about its benefits. You've come up with something absolutely and utterly useless. If it's a scam, good job. I like how you spread FUD about me trying to "introduce heartbleed" (which doesn't make any sense - the Cardano is a USB device) when I pointed this out. You obviously are smart enough to know that is a simple a
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> Just so you know, I am an individual like you - NOT with any organization. I am not in any way associated with the NSA or other organization. On the other hand, you seem to be following their M.O. and trying to weaken security. You are basically simply committing fraud. What you've designed to date is totally useless and 100 times less secure than not buying any such device at all (i.e. using o

asciilifeform: robwhiz22: take a moment to contemplate this.
asciilifeform: i often wonder when people will succumb to the temptation to... implant their keys.

asciilifeform: see mp's essay about 'your wife changes into dog'
asciilifeform: not familiar with the 'complex objects' in question.
asciilifeform: 'The "Elusive Joe" (Russian: Неуловимый Джо) has become an ironic nickname in Russia for various difficult-to-find persons (not necessarily unimportant ones).

American Novel by Mikhail Kozyrev (ru:Козырев, Михаил Яковлевич) which contained a funny song about a Joe who was e

asciilifeform: it is indeed impossible to prove, with mathematical rigour, damn near anything
asciilifeform: i cannot emphasize this enough
asciilifeform: will be issued by a computer program, in absentia. In keeping with current practice, both the charge and the evidence will be kept secret. The newly minted felons will be dropped from voter rolls, their passports cancelled, their bank accounts confiscated, and their employment (if any) terminated. They will receive form letters informing them of their sentence but most of them will be unable to read it because
asciilifeform: 'With small businesses and private enterprise made illegal, most people will be forced to resort to illegal activities, under the watchful eye of the NSA. But since putting even more people in jail will be prohibitively expensive, a new, streamlined process of dispensing justice will be put into place: the NSA and the Justice Department will link computer systems, and verdicts of fraud and suspended sentences
asciilifeform: now, i hesitate to recommend them 'for everyone' - all i've had done there, is very simple boards.
asciilifeform: i'd be tempted to recommend... mine. but right now i've only a handful of them, and they aren't for sale yet.
asciilifeform: let's campaign to have this enforced!
asciilifeform: microcontroller microcircuits, manufactured from a compound
asciilifeform: "Microprocessor microcircuits", "microcomputer microcircuits" and
asciilifeform: mp spoke of this not long ago
asciilifeform: (yes mp some. not sure what he did with them)
asciilifeform: ;;google optical tempest
asciilifeform: these aren't 'defections,' any more than the proverbial rats who jump the sinking ship are 'mutineers.'
asciilifeform: the purpose of impossibly-hard targets isn't necessarily to protect valuables, but can be simply to torment the enemy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldn't hurt to implement 'port knocking'
asciilifeform: as in 19th c. 'company town'
asciilifeform: much of what the chumpers 'buying' houses in usa are paying for could be had for considerably smaller cost - e.g. physical security, caste isolation, etc.
asciilifeform: as if the money is actually their own, and not simply put in their hands for a few minutes to salivate over.
asciilifeform: but they aren't 'employees' in any sense
asciilifeform: decimation: the parsimonious hypothesis is much simpler - some people get access to what drips from the money printer pipeline by having the right friends
asciilifeform: kanzure: the way i understand it, this is not how markets actually work. if i'm the only one who knows how to build xxx, i don't get to collect $maxint for building an xxx. simply, xxx doesn't get made.
asciilifeform: but i dare say that you (and mp?) may be alone in this weight class, among us
asciilifeform: kanzure: if you're the kind of hero who can demand 300k without ever having to physically meet a client, attend a whatever board, deliver physical samples in person, etc - more power to you
asciilifeform: kanzure: you're in mp's weight class, then.
asciilifeform: except in the wonderful case described earlier, where a chumper pays $250k to live near 300k job
asciilifeform: kanzure: the poll (even if we assume that every answer was truthful and representative of something) isn't particularly useful, because it lumps in things which are quite unlike.
asciilifeform: engineer who has to pay $100k to live within range of his $150k employer, cannot be described even as 'well to do'
asciilifeform: high talent individuals go to silicon valley << world-renowned chumpatron. leaving aside the question of whether the folks there 'work' (in the sense of producing anything valuable) - they get sheared very properly, for much of what they make - at least the ones who wouldn't care to commute 4 hrs/day
asciilifeform: escape isn't impossible, but requires reaching 'escape velocity'
asciilifeform: there is, for instance, a kind of gristly and sinewy chump that grinds apart in the chumpatron very reluctantly
asciilifeform: decimation: i never said i wasn't a chump. but there are different species of chump.
asciilifeform: i started looking for new flat soon after mp's essay on 'bezzle dollar' and thought it was hilariously fitting
asciilifeform: chumper 'buys' a house, wants to move, discovers that he'll be stuck paying for the rest of his natural life for a house he isn't living in
asciilifeform: on top of this, it is virtually impossible to rent a house at all where i live.
asciilifeform: so the early transistor, for a while, could not compete on price.
asciilifeform: this was actually a serious leap in vacuum tube tech - they didn't need to be pumped, or made of glass
asciilifeform: jurov: something like edison's mercury pump, i believe.
asciilifeform: if embarking on this, get an ion diffusion 2nd stage pump from a university surplus. $100 or so where i live.
asciilifeform: a human compiler is a kind of wretch, usually overseas, who is nominally paid to turn 'human' language spec into a program.
asciilifeform: the latter usually referring to a 'human compiler'
asciilifeform: i've actually seen people describe employing 'programmers' and 'coders' both
asciilifeform: complete with escritoire, if i recall.
asciilifeform: in wash. d.c., there is a private museaum, 'crime & punishment', with famous electric chairs, etc. they also have a reconstructed example of such a jail cell
asciilifeform: ended in a mistrial, and the next set of jury chumpers naturally won't be told anything, everyone pretends the 1st go never happened, etc.
asciilifeform: re: usb: it is important to remember that using winblows is a strictly voluntary surrender.
asciilifeform: (trivial example: anything that enciphers/deciphers)
asciilifeform: these people claim (not entirely implausible) to be the largest employer of math phd types in the usa
asciilifeform: for those who remember mp's essay about bezzle-dollars:
asciilifeform: aside from 'have useful idea, mp might invite you as co-author'
asciilifeform: how difficult is it to get listed on mpex... kakobrekla asciilifeform etc could comment on it << i still have no idea what to say to hypothetical random people who want to be listed.
asciilifeform: '“It couldn’t be stupider, and that’s why it’s brilliant,” he concluded.' << me brain dumped core.
asciilifeform: not my fault these bozos bought the world's only reasonably-complete usenet archive.
asciilifeform: example of quality mocsny:
asciilifeform: it seems odd, to say the least, to lump together projects done on embezzled government coin, and ones planned/ordered by bureaucrats.
asciilifeform: antephialtic: correct. and, if you're clever, you can have difficulty ramp up to outpace any conceivable growth in vlsi density.
asciilifeform: didn't i post a perfectly usable counter-example?
asciilifeform: dust storms and buried small towns in soildrifts. A computer company suggested
asciilifeform: would devastate any land over which it happened to hover. But by now the Armywanted it as badly as any of the dozens of states, thousands of companies and

asciilifeform: ...and folks who don't even bother, and scamplan from beginning.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'he either buys a beer for whatever famished kid working in whatever poor quality “website design shop” to obtain credentials, or perhaps just simply is the famished kid in question' << sadder than that. the creds typically come from an idiot inside a given shop who bit a trojan hook himself.
asciilifeform: for what it's worth, i had (empty) accounts on both.
asciilifeform: i confess that i wonder when i too will be featured on the 'secret soldier-shills of satanix mpex' lists the lamers are so fond of now.
asciilifeform: not the friction. the gas compression in front of it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ordinary 'heat pipe' works great, so long as you have a massive sink on the other side. heat pipe can be thought of as a refrigerator without a compressor.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: magneto-hydrodynamic coolant pump ? one sees them in patents often, but for some reason never in pc.
asciilifeform: it isn't a rack company - all vm, afaik

asciilifeform: derstood as an attempt by men to democratize the experience of enjoying beautiful women. So far, technology hasn’t been up to the task—actual beautiful women are still better—but technology will keep improving.)'
asciilifeform: ntract, they would all be merely average again in the eyes of women. (Consider that the average US working stiff is fantastically wealthy in Medieval terms, but modern US women have simply raised their materialistic requirements commensurately.)
asciilifeform: 'The in-laws won’t be as much of a problem either because the male in-laws will be preoccupied with sexbots of their own, therefore they will have less time on their hands to spend meddling in the lives of their relatives. At family gatherings, the men will gather around to trade sexbot programs, while the women will gather to complain about the men’s sexbots. Or may women will play with their catbots and
asciilifeform: tg2: that, or rubber bumpers.
asciilifeform: and people are stuck having to compute the state transitions for the whole field, as many times as specified
asciilifeform: so long as you use an automaton that has been proven turing-complete, and use a reasonably entropic starting field state, you're pretty much safe from shortcuts
asciilifeform: and a turing-complete automaton
asciilifeform: given that GOL is proven turing-complete, it would follow that there is no generic shortcut to nth-state
asciilifeform: because it no longer compresses.
asciilifeform: incidentally, hashlife starts grinding to sub-naive speed if your playing field is complex
asciilifeform: but no known counter-example either.
asciilifeform: in that the answer is very compact
asciilifeform: here's a simple one
asciilifeform: because of the 'disparate impact' (actual legal term) standard established by griggs
asciilifeform: back we go, to the days of microcomputing with tv sets
asciilifeform: idea was to get rid of the wretches hand-carrying samples to/from instruments
asciilifeform: the plexiglass one - how are you pumping? SAW resonator?
asciilifeform: how hard is it to simply sit on coin?
asciilifeform: does the chumpatronium never run out?
asciilifeform: attach to a cable made with two segments of mismatched impedence
asciilifeform: mismatched impedence -> also reflections. undergrad physics.
asciilifeform: the 'lumped element model' of electronics was ok for the first half of 20th c.
asciilifeform: homework: calculate 'if the chinese jumped.'
asciilifeform: mp wins 'fermi' prize.
asciilifeform: so, mp is quite close.
asciilifeform: incidentally, the same tech could easily test the composition of a drug (pharmacy or back alley, user's choice)
asciilifeform: the difference is important (expensive, disposable, slow) vs. reusable (cheap), compact, fast.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not banned as such. but the 'holy grail' that could have eradicated the virus, a pocket-sized instant electronic gizmo, sat in a glass case at one of my old employers' facility
asciilifeform: i can think of one example
asciilifeform: does this sort of thing even have a name << chumpatron.
asciilifeform: competent burglar can trip over a miraculous surprise and end in jail
asciilifeform: re: mircea_popescu's thoughts the other day about bank accounts being mandatory in u.s. - typically, when you sign up for direct deposit of salary here, you also sign a pact that allows the employer to withdraw.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: linked to me once, a few years ago, describing as 'the moldbug of computing.' not sure if complement or curse.
asciilifeform: once again, i can't say that this scenario is impossible. just that it includes an extraordinary level of 'personal attention' from bureaucrats who would normally rather play tetris
asciilifeform: not that this situation is impossible - but most large co.s have a third party run their chumpatronics
asciilifeform: one can still decide on the degree to which to play the chumpatron. no one is forced to buy 401k, yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 401k-dollar and the cocaine-stained-dollar << nobody forces people to jump in chumpatron
asciilifeform: so perhaps peak chump is now. or, shortly.
asciilifeform: do we get to see 'Peak Chump' ?
asciilifeform: re: kraken et al: makes me wonder how much chumpatronium fuel is left.
asciilifeform: '“I think this is going to create a huge opportunity for hosted wallets,” says Jered Kenna, a bitcoin entrepreneur and the CEO of Moneyandtech.com. He believes that the smart bitcoin wallet makers will simply be able to add this as a service, tracking the capital gains and losses as you spend your bitcoins through the year, and maybe even issuing you a convenient 1099 at the end of the year.'
asciilifeform pictures some wretch, perhaps in india, employed as a human gribble.
asciilifeform: it is no coincidence, though, that ms became synonymous with 'home computer' in the 90s and not earlier.
asciilifeform: the notion that ms turdware is a product of any kind of free market or competition on technical merit is a real comedy.
asciilifeform: Officially, all Soviet representatives regard these parasites with touching feelings of friendship, but privately they call them 'shit-eaters' ('govnoed'). It is difficult to say where this expression originated, but it is truly the only name they deserve. The use of this word has become so firmly entrenched in Soviet embassies that it is impossible to imagine any other name for these people. A conversation mi

asciilifeform: 'Four New York-area men were arrested Monday after a base jumping stunt from atop One World Trade Center in September, police said. James Brady, Kyle Hartwell, Marko Markovich, and Andrew Rossig have been charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and jumping from a structure, according to a statement issued by NYPD Commissioner William Bratton.'
asciilifeform: ow, because of our folly, nationalism, unwillingness to hear each other - Yugoslavia is no more, and we - are now pimples on the political map of Europe, new markets for their overpriced garbage and for American democracy.' (- from the last interview given by Slobodan Milosevic, not long after he was 'accidentally' given the wrong heart meds. Translation mine.)
asciilifeform: and now for something completely different:
asciilifeform: example, from one's tool drawer. i recently happened to buy an oscilloscope. it can sample signals at 1GHz, despite having no component therein operating above 100MHz.
asciilifeform: and suspend it a cm or so above the table, in a clamp, from said cup
asciilifeform: primary was shaped in such a way that it needed 1) the explosive compression and, 2) a certain blast from neutron generator tube - to pop - and (2) would vary in strength based on background
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was it you who had a piece about 'temperature' ?
asciilifeform: i saw a much simpler (cable-driven) version of this being used right here on my street.
