BingoBoingo: People way off in insanity and people still level 1 insanity might percieve a bond until their insanities collide
mircea_popescu: the only vaguely concerning point was that i thought hilary's presidency a foregone conclusion since about i dunno, 2008 or so.
mircea_popescu: but shit like this don't bode well.
mircea_popescu: senator hurrdurr (who really seems an exact mirror image of ron paul in left colorings) is certainly out of the question, but omfg don't tell me trump takes over and does a postmodern rendition of reagan
pete_dushenski: if anything can upset that woman's dreams, it's the donald
BingoBoingo: The race right now is fucked. The left press called Rubio the winner of the first GOP debate before any poll numbers and Rubio close to platonically stupid.
pete_dushenski: if u.s. politics is a tv game show, which it so often seems to be, how could trump (or someone equally outrageous) lose ?
mircea_popescu: you know, romanian "press" and "social media" got very much similarly humiliated in 2008 when a romanian sort of donalt trump trampled all over their girlbits.
mircea_popescu: it was kinda the point it became obvious the alt-planet lost the battle, there.
mircea_popescu: and it was beautiful, five years of 10-20% shrinkage in "advertising spending" were followed by a 80% and two 50%s.
mircea_popescu: to the point 100s of romanian taylor swifts got recently arrested for prostitution (they were doing it for 1-200 euros, rate price)
assbot: COPS ARE NOW OFFICIALLY THE FATTEST EMPLOYEES IN AMERICA, STUDY SHOWS | AG News ... ( http://bit.ly/1UzWnfC )

pete_dushenski: mats: who in their right fucking mind would trust the latest nist 'standard'
mircea_popescu: "It’s also possible I failed to attract the right visitors. This is only a one man show, and I can only churn out so much linkbait, even for the sake of science."
mats: nobody asked you to trust nist
pete_dushenski: mats: eh i wasn't being personal, speaking generally here
assbot: 38 results for 'nist' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=nist
mircea_popescu: the one possibility of interest he neglects is "sane people use the browser as a strictly stateless device. to them it makes absolutely no difference."
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski mats is on a hunt for cultism in the cult, and you stepped on his detector.
pete_dushenski: *kaboom*
mircea_popescu: is it annoying btw mats ?
mats: sha3 was created in an open process like rijndael
asciilifeform: ahahahahahaha
mircea_popescu: can you define "open process" ?
asciilifeform: open, l0l, aha
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: me think cazalla is on a similar hunt ?
mircea_popescu: doubt it.
asciilifeform: it works like this: folks mail in suggestions (naturally only incestuous academitards from nato countries considered! no untermenschem plz!)
pete_dushenski: me grog.
asciilifeform: and nsa picks the ones it likes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform technically, it's open.
asciilifeform: *untermenschen
asciilifeform: open to aryans.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ya, i dun seriously think so either.
mircea_popescu: reddit notably also publishes through an open process.
mircea_popescu: also like rijndael
mircea_popescu: rijnddit.
asciilifeform: phun phakt: the 'dae' is a chick

asciilifeform: mats: the selection-for-suitability-for-top-secret process is not public.
asciilifeform: i don't give a flying fuck about the window dressing one.
asciilifeform: the reason why all usg keys are generated at ft. meade and not in the field is also not public.
asciilifeform: unless this - http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1323 - counts as 'public'
assbot: Loper OS » A Country of Which Nothing is Known but the Name. ... ( http://bit.ly/1gZ2mwl )
mircea_popescu: mats seriously, publications detailing the process ?
mircea_popescu: tell you what. unless i can personally break it, it does not meet my definition of "open".
mircea_popescu: that's what open is : something that continues only inasmuch i do not break it.
mircea_popescu: if it can protect itself, it's closed.
mircea_popescu: so yes, my slavegirls are open processes.
mats: as you suggest, open-ness is subject to personal definitions
mircea_popescu: that'd be about it. claims to the contrary are an exercise in directed disingenuity.
mircea_popescu: and there's nothing wrong with it being a closed process, either. other than - don't expect folks whoi aren't politically alligned to give a slightest fuck.
mircea_popescu: not like the us police implements the rules dreamed up byu the supreme soviet of north korea
mircea_popescu: and this without any discussion of the merits. as great as they may be. and without even reading them.
mircea_popescu: because they make very strictly no difference whatsoever.
asciilifeform: it always boggled my mind how anyone could have ever seen 'fips' etc. as representing anything other than 'breakable by usg with reasonable cost'
asciilifeform: (more of an observation re: ciphers than hashes. until recently, usg did not give a rat's arse re: hashes)

wilbns: A different take on OBEY art and apparel: http://mileswmathis.com/obey.pdf
BingoBoingo: If I recall SHA-3 draft FPGA outdates Bitcoin mining FPGA
mats: well, hand-waving aside, "SHA-3 has no known security issues, whereas SHA-1, MD5, and SHA-512 are susceptible to length-extension. SHA-1 and MD5 are vulnerable to collision attacks, which are expensive for SHA-1, but which are cheap and allow chosen-prefixes for MD5."
asciilifeform: md5 long buried, and cement poured over the grave
mircea_popescu: sha 512 length extension was demonstrated ?
asciilifeform: length extension is an operator error thing strictly.
asciilifeform: can be entirely ruled out in a correct design.
wilbns: excerpt: "We are told that the OBEY sign, with or without the GIANT sign, is anti-authoritarian. But is the fact
wilbns: that a lot of young people are wearing shirts with the words OBEY on them—without knowing
wilbns: anything about the artistic, historical, or “anti-propaganda” significance of all this—really anti-
wilbns: authoritarian? Or is it just the excuse to get the word OBEY up everywhere?"
mircea_popescu: directed disingenuity. as per usual.
BingoBoingo though anyways SHA-3 was proposed entirely on the pretense of "speed"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aha, like aes.
asciilifeform: it's always 'speed' with these folk
asciilifeform: (except when not)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That. Or like Elliptic curve in lieu of RSA

mircea_popescu: sooo, i got a rather amusing internal report from reddit. it would seem that
mircea_popescu: a) very few entries actually get > 100 upvotes. as in, it's happened twice so far this year. b) the number of negative votes exceeds the positive by a degree of magnitude or more on average, and regularly by two degrees on "popular" items. when this doesn't happen it's always obscure stories with one or two votes.
mircea_popescu: c) to cope with this situations the admins universally make up random vote counts ; d) to cope with the shortage of manpower this causes all sorts of exponential factorizations are used, which means that in practice a story is first "fast tracked" which means some admin ticks a box and from there on it gets all sorts of factors and additions
mircea_popescu: e) the system is pretty byzantine so that admins regularly can not predict what the results of their choices will actually be
mircea_popescu: f) they tried all sorts of experimental "harness the negative votes" but nothing could be made to werk
mircea_popescu: and finally g) they've been bleeding people from engineering at an ever accelerating rate since 2010 (or earlier) and by now it's so bad people leave during the first three months as a regular occurence. they briefly and unsuccessfully tried the "pay more" approach, it didn't do much, currently they've practically given up on the problem altogether.
mircea_popescu: along with all sorts of personally damning tidbits and a treasure trove of all sorts of lols.
mircea_popescu: welll... no, not really "all sorts". "autistic usian" sorts.
shinohai: reddit is doomed to go the way of digg
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, no, because apparently all sorts of people (who otherwise have no money and no influence, which is to say - their inept choices ands valuations have stranded them irl) think it's incredibly important and valuable!
shinohai: Conde Nast I guess feels the need to dump resources into it.
mircea_popescu: these'd be all sorts of self-described activists, which in any other place'd be known as "political arivists" except this doesn't apply because they're actually too fat/lazy/lost in self to even have ambitions.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's alltogether more layered laziness, such as, "if i give up the delusion that my activity on the rickety house of cards we call reddit matters, i will have to find other work to do as part of my being politically important, which is hard and risks requiring me looking up from the tablet or going out of starbucks. so let's instead pretend."
mircea_popescu: in any case, reddit's gonna die its own, livejournal-y sort of death. digg iirc died when it crashed against a thick brick wall of "nobody cares".
shinohai: You recall correctly.
shinohai: Anyone here used vee as a blogging platform ?

mircea_popescu: mats the true question is whether this is a test run and they hit it again more to the tune of 30-40% later in the year.
mircea_popescu: it's one way to fix their major capital allocation issues / bad provincial govt "investment" / valuable real estate on paper etc.
mircea_popescu: the most relevant part of all this to bitcoin being that price stickiness (principally, the stubborn refusal of old people to admit that real estate they once bought is not now worth what they paid for it) may very well require inflation as the best social solution.
mircea_popescu: by a damned sight better than say, beatings. and it's altogether unclear an alternative to these exists.
mircea_popescu: balzac's french contemporaries (who were on the napoleon gold standard) pretty much used the beatings, which did make for great literature but really a rather miserable society.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234457 << greatly helped by the fact that said central bank is both the world's largest holder of domestic currency as well as the various foreign currency. it has more dollars than the fed, for instance.

mircea_popescu: not at all.
asciilifeform: why not
mircea_popescu: this is beyond naive.
mircea_popescu: because the context has changed. in 1971 a lot of schmucks knew their place.

asciilifeform: '... while being continuously intellectually challenged.'
Apocalyptic: I guess that's about right
mircea_popescu reads one
asciilifeform: 'intellectually challenged' is '90s-usg-speak for 'tard'
mircea_popescu: "Ultimately it's undergirded by one of the great intellectual fallacies of modern times, the obsession with structure as opposed to content. If structure is all important, then if two conflicts have similar structure, they are similar."
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, I heard it's now rude to say "blind" in the us, one must say "visually challenged"
asciilifeform: mats: iirc inria had a cycle-and-cache-accurate x86 emulator. might be up your alley.
mircea_popescu: "In fact, most people are out of their depth in a mud puddle."
mircea_popescu: "Mostly it's laziness (or shallowness) and an attempt to seize the moral high ground. It's hard to defend specific issues when you're confronted by someone who simply rejects your basic premises. How do you find out what lines of argument they would find persuasive? (Hint: ask them. Say "what exactly would you accept as proof that I'm right?" Most of the time they don't have a clue, because most people only think about
mircea_popescu: why they're right, not how they might be wrong.)"

The article that outed him was "Coping with Chaos: How Disordered Contexts Promote Stereotyping and Discrimination.
asciilifeform: " ... ... Lots of emphasis on stereotyping, how we construct reality, and so on. Nothing that challenges the basic assumptions of social scientists at all.
