mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, the walker scheme doesn't seem too great. the theoretical objection is that it ~does~ introduce structure, through the convention that the walker moves from where it last moved. in practice though, run a few simulations over a 16bit message which you can then print as a 256x256 bitmap. your walker makes anthills basically.
mircea_popescu: pretty wasteful use of entropy.
mircea_popescu: ajhajajaja roger ver owns bitcoins ?
mircea_popescu: good thing there's reddit. now that yahoo "finance" closed the public boards, where'd all the scum go.
shinohai would love to see Ver successfully do Unlimited fork, lose all BTC on phorked side
mircea_popescu: eh, guy last had any btc cca 2014.

mircea_popescu: yes. a point n distance from origin has more chances of being walked over than a point 2n distance from origin by a factor of about 1.4
asciilifeform: you naturally gotta run long enough for p(walked all many times) to ~= 1
mircea_popescu: this resolves the part where "all have been walked" though not the part where there's structure intrinsic in the method.
mircea_popescu: moreover, to be 99% sure 100% of 64kb were walked, you need millions of steps.
asciilifeform: that, you do, i warned.
mircea_popescu: specifically 256kb does not even remotely promise for 64kb to be walked. you get a third untouched more than half the time.
asciilifeform: i estimated a 16 fold margin.
mircea_popescu: it was 3 fold yest.
mircea_popescu: the correct margin is N^2
asciilifeform: 3x was ~minimal inescapable bloat with no entropy~
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 01:15 asciilifeform: the useful envelope of operation comes when you have at least ~16x the bottom limit.
asciilifeform: but that was anally calculated. i have not tried with trng yet.
asciilifeform: and yes, the cost is high. but i remain unconvinced that a better method exists.
asciilifeform: i suspect that one could even prove that it cannot.
mircea_popescu: "better" is not a mathematical concept.
mircea_popescu: so no, one couldn't prove such.
asciilifeform: there is a specific job involved
asciilifeform: that is quantifiable
asciilifeform: that was actually where i stopped last time. to properly and rigorously define the problem
asciilifeform: informally stated , it is 'spread out k bits over j bits, j>k, such that the bitness of k that can be learned from knowing any 1 bit of j is minimized, and such that knowledge of a
asciilifeform: all but one bit of j,
asciilifeform: of k rather
asciilifeform: gives NO knowledge of j.'
asciilifeform: rivest wss afaik the first to ask for this. but he and afaik everybody since him, used hashes.
asciilifeform: i suspect that a good bit of crypto research was lobotomized by historic rng poverty.
asciilifeform: (and not merely by the obvious lobotomist)
mircea_popescu: this may well be true yes.

asciilifeform: (link -- loads, has a turd by same title and stock photos of 'collegiate' crapolade, i did not read further )
mircea_popescu: but yes, the statement is correct. to restate : 1. padding is defined as a function F (x, y) with x, y and F ∈ N such that 2. F is defined for all (x, y) pairs and that 3. given any set of boolean functions Ki(x) along with their values no Kj(y) can be constructed so their values are known besides K0(y) = true for K0(a) = 1 if a=y and 0 if a!=y and 4. given any set of boolean functions Ki(y) along with their values no Kj(x)
mircea_popescu: can be constructed so their values are known besides K0(x) = true for K0(a) = 1 if a=x and 0 if a!=x.
mircea_popescu: importantly - there is no need for the payload and the padding to be distinguishable.
mircea_popescu: so the statement should be symmetrical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's nice, it 404'd before!
asciilifeform: it is an absolute fail for payload and padding to live in separate and known-to-enemy bitfields, yes
mircea_popescu: more than that : there can't be conceptual difference between number x and number y.
mircea_popescu: the padding pads the message just as the message pads the padding.

asciilifeform: (it also has entirely separate component that is rivest's 'all or nothing transform')
asciilifeform: i.e. problem is really two problems.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm entirely not up to speed to this, but there actually exists this field in math, of "boolean function sets"
mircea_popescu: they more or less udnerstand they're a formalisation of what the more numerate philosophers call the theory of knowledge.

asciilifeform: dun like drinking piss? then stop being known for 'travail arabe' .
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally that nonsense is only superficially related to snowden. in practice it is an extension of the "artificial intelligence" used in "spam detection", especially as the doomed but desperate attempt at websites to fight the republican bots.
mircea_popescu: the other expansion of that is of course the whole "mechanical fakenews detection"

asciilifeform: that is, automated probing for sudden curiosity, or evidence of ideological unreliability of whatever origin.
mircea_popescu: it's in the more general form "detection of edges". they want to identify cars, and go winning strategies, and people who don't like them and everything else.
mircea_popescu: and they expect to do it by pouring lots of gb in very trivial neural/expert systems.
asciilifeform: quite likely there is an eight-figure golden toilet contract right at this very moment to attempt to roster, e.g., ts clearance holders who show symptoms of having used bitcoin. and the like.

mircea_popescu: the criterion is not "optimal efficiency", but "optimal efficiency in the paradigm space".
mircea_popescu: they're... not that kind of girl.
asciilifeform: afaik the structural diff is that usa traditionally relied on 'carrots' for the seekrit folx, more than 'sticks'
asciilifeform: but the carrots begin to run out.
mircea_popescu: historical accident be what it may, it can't really be said it constitutes a proper cause.
mircea_popescu: ie, it is because of this, but not for this reason.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing is that the approach is trivially defeated in practice. they're relying on a ~fixed~, unchanging enemy. which naivite in the manner of 3yos and their modelling of environment geometries was previously touched upon.
mircea_popescu: but it's why the two week war isn't done after thirteen.
asciilifeform: usg has become such a loathesome and monstrous thing, that there is no fixed set of 'enemy', every earthworm in every step of ground it steps on, becomes enemy
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fate of the socialist empire in its eternal historical cyclicity is fascinating. so - nazis put everything on large tanks ; and failed. but then soviets put everything on a particular notion of industrialization (steel-per-capita industrialization, so to speak) and... failed. so the one socialist empire left standing is putting it all on "ai". and...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this being said here years ago aha.
mircea_popescu: it was also said cca 1800s, it read like "si de-aceea tot ce misca-n tara asta, riul, ramul imi e prieten numai mie, iara tie - dusman ti-este."

asciilifeform: gotta teach the 'grind student' again, by rote, the rote responses to the counterattacks actual people almost immediately came up with.
asciilifeform: so that it can look like 'ai'.
mircea_popescu: (ftr, the "100bn neurons" figure IS MISTAKEN. yes at any point you slice a brain you find something like that ; but neurons also die - yet their death is not automatically in vain now is it!)
asciilifeform: we already saw this movie before, with 'deep blue'
mircea_popescu: (and "death" here means a rather complex thing.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we had thread about musculature of pan troglodytes, where many fewer cells in the muscle than a man's, but he can tear the man in half. so even for an ordinary mechanical 'strength', counting mass is nonsense.
asciilifeform: nobody thinks of weighing, e.g., 386 vs pentium to learn which one bangs moar for the buck
mircea_popescu: im sure some arabs did it.
asciilifeform: or let's why not weigh james watt's steam engine vs modern diesel and say same thing.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless - the argument as to neuron count is not directly mass ; it is parts. one DOES compare transistor counts.
asciilifeform: even then
asciilifeform: rather like comparing 'lines of code'
asciilifeform: (winblowz - wins!1!! forever!!1)
mircea_popescu: more like comparing "ast nodes". not the best and not the worst measure of complexity.
asciilifeform: they are, to borrow from dijkstra, 'cost, not revenue, no matter how many people insist on writing them down on the wrong side of the ledger'
asciilifeform: complexity -- is a cost. that it sometimes also brings something in return, is incidental.
mircea_popescu: the notion that loc = revenue is not unlike the notion that fucking is something you wanna do. it's work, let the girl work for it!

asciilifeform: this is discussed publicly even less often than the pseudoscientific nonsense of block and stream ciphers, but: hashes are necessarily voodoo. elementarily, by counting argument (input:output sets are not 1:1).
asciilifeform: and the hashes popularly in use are optimized for strictly one thing -- (perceived!) collision resistance
asciilifeform: and certainly not for other, orthogonal (or even, possibly, contradictory!) properties such as non-leakage and non-structurization
asciilifeform: this came up in the rng whitening thread, but bears mentioning now and again
asciilifeform: (for instance, it may well be the case that, e.g., sha2, or keccak, leak, say, the parity of the incoming bitstring into the hash. or some other property.)
asciilifeform: and this would not count against their collision resistance, which was the only property actually asked for by the designer.

Framedragger: http://trilema.com/2014/the-complexity-of-life-a-triad/ << was planning to go to sleep easily and wake up with light christmas spirit. dreams will now be filled with automata
Framedragger: while rereading old logs, http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-21#572003 << hehehe :)

Framedragger: s/rereading/reading/
mircea_popescu: Framedragger should be noted that i was a lot more optimistic about open source in 2014.
Framedragger: certainly noted! assumed as much :) includes increased pessimism for funding OS projects (such as openbsd) etc i guess...
mircea_popescu: anyway, the principle espoused is sound - you want a client because you want to control the software ; the application involved however who knows,.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the problem isn't "founding os projects" but quite orthogonal to that : ustards have a significant mental problem whereby they imagine they will separate funding and activity. the existence of a so called "foundation" is the usual macula of this sort of idiocy, much like chancre is the mark of syphilis.

phf: "Upon his arrest, Katz told the officer that he was there to rescue the girl, and should have first called police, according to charging documents."
Framedragger: (last thing i've read before going to sleep is how a kid high on ganja used a bazooka: https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/25a19p/welp_i_did_something_terrible_in_cambodia_in_a/ ahem. but kinda funny)
mircea_popescu: self-reported folklore may have a heavy fictitious tinge.
