The current lawsuit is an example of that, he says.'

asciilifeform: it is however moar complicated, there are mechanics of day/night ( various layers, which reflect different bands , appear and disappear with the daylight ) and season.
asciilifeform: wasn't meant to be 'kept in attics gathering dust', but simply low duty cycle - as in, e.g., 1ms per hour

asciilifeform: q is what is the best that can be done with simply a radio.
asciilifeform: 1w on empty band, with just-so sunspot cycle, etc. was on at least 1 occasion picked up across atlantic.
asciilifeform: the empires solved this with satellite.
asciilifeform: e.g. ru horizon radar , eats what, half a MHz of sw, and betcha they have a massive garbage bin to put the complaints from 50 years into.
asciilifeform: existing gestapo aside, consider also future enemy. because even when the empires of today are forgotten, hogging sw spectrum will be a simple way to make new enemy.
asciilifeform: if the enemy, on account of some internal psychosis, refrains from simply breaking in and shooting, there is plenty to do
asciilifeform: also i suspect that 'avoid gestapo' is a very small superset of the much harder 'physically undetectable'. for example, if you pirate on an already unusably-polluted band, you would probably never Have Problems for so long as you are not distinguishable from the usual polluters ( e.g. led light bulbs and other filth )

asciilifeform: the 'alternative' of simply having no money, is rather popular
asciilifeform: the '10,000' thing also has an element of 'torbrowserism' -- to spread the notion, among the simple, that 'it has to be >10k to be seen'
asciilifeform: imho it is a quite obvious idea. but the above is the closest asciilifeform found to any record of it having been attempted.
asciilifeform: ( something like ye old 'leah' but steals half-chewed tmsrisms to grease the implement )
asciilifeform: ( observe that 'fox hunting' for ulw is ~impractical, not only from sheer physical dimensions of the receiver , but from signal strength being approx same on entire planet, regardless of where you tx from )
asciilifeform: thereby scheme reduces to looking for a truly rngistic signal that at all times is known ~in advance~, but from 2 or more diverging physical directions; and comparing.
asciilifeform: re: cryptoradio, here's a gedankenexperiment: consider a tx station consisting of 2 separated (by, say, a km+ of cable) transmitters; each sends prng soup across a few 100MHz . modulation of payload is strictly via altering their relative ~amplitudes~ .

'we can't decompress because nobody has the table'. except if you had instrumented sticks of ram, that can be read out of band ( i.e. without cooperation of the mobo and its contents , through a second hole ) you could quite easily restore the entire image ( which sections get read , in what order ? concatenate'em. )
asciilifeform: once you load it into a comp, it is 'hot' again.
asciilifeform: vlad56324: also 'cold' normally implies the use of non-electrical item ( e.g. paper )

asciilifeform: i'd concur with mircea_popescu that one ought not connect ffa to, e.g., icbm, until it comes with proofs for all of the components, etc. -- but we do have a working modexp, from which can extrapolate pessimal speed ( it will get faster, but let's assume for said calculation that it will not )
asciilifeform: there are voice compressions that give quite satisfactory speech with ~300 byte/sec bandwidth
asciilifeform: reminiscent of the 'private internet access' scamola, but for higher-budget chumpers
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/6Snbe << meanwhile, in the land of the homebrew caesar cipher experts and nsa provocateurs : 'A dizzying number of companies offer these sorts of phones all across the world: Phantom, Global Data, Encrochat, Secure Mobile, PublicPGP, PGPClass, Elite, Fortis Iceland PGP, and many more.'
asciilifeform: re 'why would anyone think to use threads' -- this is not mega-puzzle. naggum described similar situation in the bulldozer essay. imbecile sees an obstacle, reaches for the most obvious available power tool that seems to push aside the obstacle; without giving half a shit what's behind it, woods, swamp, mountain, or where the earth he pushed aside will go, and how it might interact with him later, etc
asciilifeform: it was example of what's come back so far. all liquishit.
asciilifeform: ( in pediwik link , example of 'porn' censored , sty of pig )
asciilifeform: why not the simplest variant : `foo adds this line to the tagset.
asciilifeform: the url is now head of the list of what comes out when you click 'overcompetent' in logview
asciilifeform: `overcompetent http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-27#1458568
asciilifeform: apeloyee: no compromises.
asciilifeform: not if it needs 8x more temp space
asciilifeform: when you ffaize 'simpler' is not always what initially looks like .
asciilifeform: but hypothetically it may even be possible to ffaize bernstein's tree. or even to do it in such a way that doesn't wipe out the cpu winning from it. and even possibly to prove that it works and doesn't leak bits and doesn't let composites through once in a while.
asciilifeform: but in light of this, a correct rsatron is still one that stands on nothing BUT the assumption that rsa is hard.
asciilifeform: if you want 'compromise' rsa, use koch's.
asciilifeform: there is to be no compromise on leak.
asciilifeform: if ffa can be made to do 4096b modexp in 0.5s on typical comp, that gives ~1byte/msec purersa payload. which is enough for many purposes, e.g. voice.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: theoretically. but cache locality win from smaller memory segment sometimes gives surprising winning. the example above, for instance, gives 2x speedup rather than my predicted 25%.
asciilifeform: ( a concrete example : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/bP0Qt/?raw=true vs http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/YBnZR/?raw=true knuthianmod )
asciilifeform: in the end might even release different variants that have different complexity tradeoffs.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: my strategy so far was to introduce moving parts very, very reluctantly ( started with egyptian multiplier, for example ) when there is absolutely no choice.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for some reason i can't help but think of the old lul with chinese on footstools synchronously jumping
asciilifeform: waitasec why was ro petroimporting
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722415 << if you have a comp the size of jupiter, you could ~maybe~ have such a thing as a 128bit primorial.
asciilifeform: but 2 ) the python example is of course not closed form, and it is imho meaningless to even attempt to write the closed form item in a language like python or cl
asciilifeform: all other methods leak info via timing , amperage, rf noise.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722395 << compute and then what ? gotta multiply
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722358 << point was exactly to compare like items. i.e. heathendom does NOT get to 'win' by 'oh hey the hamming weight of exponent is only 2, not 4096, so we only do 4 modexps and not 8192'
asciilifeform: in ffa, unlike in the python example, elongating the 0x10001 to full ffawidth will not change the required time.
asciilifeform: mod6: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/H4UGn/?raw=true << for comparison, py script computing same arithm problem
asciilifeform: mod6: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/0k78K/?raw=true << example from asciilifeform's torture room, of what his test looks like
asciilifeform: it is tempting, because currently i suspect that ~nobody is actually running my pastes
asciilifeform: now! this procrusted-karatsuba is only used for the barrettron, so theoretically could compensate for that 3 with 3 additional subtractor-muxes. and still win ~4x speedup vs last night's . but this is mega-ugly.
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/TgRkm/?raw=true << ordinary karatsuba, for convenient comparison.
asciilifeform: considering that it only wins vs euclid because 'fast comparison' , while ALL ffa comparisons are always and forever mercilessly O(N).
asciilifeform: these folx trample one another regularly, there is even a commercial 'holiday' ( 'black friday' ) when they have india-like mass tramplings fighting over misc. retail crud
asciilifeform: betcha as many trampled as perforated.
asciilifeform: notably, 'The patrons of the two-story club were either overcome by smoke or trampled to death as everyone rushed for the club’s lone exit, officials said.'
asciilifeform: complete with dimon, who shat exactly same nonsense each time
