BingoBoingo: WTF: "“Although you have a doctorate, I doubt that you teach. 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. He accused the staff member of writing him “coercive emails” about the accommodation and copied his entire class on climate and global change on the exchange."
BingoBoingo: When's the fun?
BingoBoingo: Ah, here it is from Mr. Climatarast: "While he gave all of his students hard copies of his lecture notes before class, he said, he didn’t provide electronic copies because “based on my experience of providing all my students my lecture slides after each lecture for most if not all of the 16 times I have taught this course, I knew that one-third of my class would cease coming to my lectures if I provided them my lecture slides electro
BingoBoingo: nically. And their ceasing to attend my lectures would lower their course grades.”"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, the convention is that girls who feel a deep urge to be so abused answer "moo" to that pic.
asciilifeform: oh speaking of this, asciilifeform's pet had response to mircea_popescu's 'o sopirla' : 'there is also an inverse sopirla, where an item has the outward pretense of disobedience, but in fact reaffirms pantsuit orthodoxy. did the romanians have a name for it as well?'
mircea_popescu: no, because the first romanian to ever notice this exists was called mircea popescu.
mircea_popescu: that's the advantage of living in a small pond, the exact opposite of the problem of math.
asciilifeform can picture
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could stretch "hypocrisy" to try and fit it, if you must.
asciilifeform: nah unspecific
mircea_popescu: well you could also call it graham, or yarvin, or somesuch.
asciilifeform: sopirla is very delectably specific
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").
mircea_popescu: too loose and he won't be comprehended, like poisson couldn't read galois, notwithstanding certain talent and ability.
asciilifeform: !#s hill climbing
asciilifeform: ^ thread somewhere
mircea_popescu: too tight and it won't be worth reading, like all the nature science being pushed out by the shovelful.
mircea_popescu: nature-mag science.
asciilifeform: it's a fundamental tension in ~everything~, because it is in fact an information-theoretical problem and not at all domain-specific
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as information theoretical, seeing how information has an actual thermodynamic backing.
mircea_popescu: it is purely theoretical! as in theoretical physics theoretical.

mircea_popescu: yes, it's not exactly novel.
asciilifeform: got it!
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the boxen : the correct solution to "how much box" is, on the basis of both practical observation (every time tought, either as science, or as art, or as political work worked to date ; not to mention coral growth and everything else) as well as theoretical understanding is to provide SPURS instead of walls.
mircea_popescu: because that's how you resolve the "i can't tell if this young'un is galois or insane" in practice of elder, slower, heavier gents : "follow ONE fucking spur to allow me to organize your nonsense, god damn it!"
mircea_popescu: then if you really care about 2d, 3d, nd effects we can... guess what... examine further orthogonal ones ?! wow!

asciilifeform: and so instead write with dna, a mol of which weighs approx what young elephant weighs ?
asciilifeform: makes tape look pretty good

asciilifeform: they got meat production 5year plan, y'see
kanzure: i typed 50 pages of notes (about 30k words) but i'm not sure it should be considered public
mircea_popescu: there's not enough si, check that dumb shit out, only the most common material in crust.
mircea_popescu: kanzure actually, it should be considered manure.
asciilifeform: see that there living room ? it's to have 50 somalis in it by end of 5yplan.
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: 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: 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.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the conceptualization of one being an utter fucktard can't happen in the comfortably idiotic.
mircea_popescu: alcohol is a muchly preferable addiction to usgtronic stupidity in that it actually DOES something.
asciilifeform: step 3 may be to stop doing dancytricks for darpa/iarpa/fucktarpa for pocket change, esp. if yer already 'rich'
BingoBoingo: !~step3
jhvh1: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
mircea_popescu: but being dumb in the female way, especially if not biologically female, can not possibly have any physical effects.
BingoBoingo: ^ AHA alf
asciilifeform: i got out of that racket an' have 0 regrets
mircea_popescu: so it can also keep teh spirit captive ~forever.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: What if he grows fat. Gets tits and pubic fat mount over now tunnelcock?
asciilifeform: kanzure: if yur gonna fellate for money, fellate goldmansachs directly, for 9 digits, instead of the tardocrats for 7
BingoBoingo: USGtardism does that
mircea_popescu: still not fertile.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Fertile to Candida!
shinohai munches popcorn
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Hey, he can be the beta provider in a fungus feeding reproductionship
BingoBoingo brb, sobertime
mircea_popescu: this is indistinguishable from being dead.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the opportunity came and went, like these things do.
BingoBoingo: Except for some reason it's selling darpa rotting yeast drive and utterancing
asciilifeform: phun phakt, even toilet at darpa needs key card
BingoBoingo: Which yeast for drive....
asciilifeform: place is set up like hollywood gulag of the fyootoor
asciilifeform: oh did i mention the doorman has form for you to fill in triplicate ?
asciilifeform: afaik never even in original su, this degree of idiocy
shinohai: oh my
BingoBoingo: OMG kanzure IS an instrument of candidal intertrigo
BingoBoingo: Now this is novel
BingoBoingo: Or prolly not
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform vaguely funny anecdote re this : someone introduced woman to me in ba. clearly pro cocksucker who's seen better days ; had retired into a marriage but chosen ineptly, was now peniless trying to make ends meet out of realestate agenting.
BingoBoingo: anyways brb
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nah d00d dun work with darpa, he works with iarpa, darpa is stolid old pentagon, iarpa - nsa
mircea_popescu: she invites us to this art whatever the fuck, in a loft downtown. we actually go! and there, whole festival of locking doors ands where's your id and whatnot.
mod6: mircea_popescu: woah, the next generation is hawt.
mircea_popescu: i told the girly where to shove it, and she had to "ask" and whatnot. just as he was coming back witrh the "oh, no id needed anymore" updated policy i was getting the doorman to open the fucking door before i crack it open with his face.
mircea_popescu: moral of the story being, women left to rot in their own juice come up withe the same inept bullshit at darpa or at argentina.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: nah d00d dun work with darpa, he works with iarpa, darpa is stolid old pentagon, iarpa - nsa << This does not exonerate the yeast's herald from being a herald of his yeastly superiors
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as an ex-sufferer of 'hm, they're giving out money for dancytrick, how do i print 100MB using liquid shit on wattman paper' -- i grasp the fundamentals
mircea_popescu: that's you know, how it's going to be communicated to me that we're in an ~~~exclusive~~~ millieu of great value and vehement importance! by complicated locking mechanisms. cuz i
mircea_popescu: i'm a dumb cunt just like them and imagine the value of my precious kitty is related to how many textile layers i keep it under.
asciilifeform: but i cannot cure kanzure . if wealth ( and by all indications, d00d is 'dependently' wealthy at the least ) did not cure -- who can cure.
mircea_popescu: you can't unfix a fixed bitch.
asciilifeform: i have nfi with what one oughta have been whaked in the head, and with howmuch force, to do idjit humantricks for nsa for paltry sixfigses when no longer having to work to eat
a111: Logged on 2017-09-15 23:50 mircea_popescu: sort of like a self-preservation mechanism.
mircea_popescu: for as long as he keeps with that, nothing can happen (tm)
asciilifeform: i can sorta understand starvation, in fact http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-19#1525791 etc
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 21:33 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did a tour of duty in the most godforsaken imaginable salt mine full of ex-nsa folk.
asciilifeform: but for the well-fed i cannot see what possible excuse.
mircea_popescu: there's many classes of stupid, a well populous one (at least in the us) is "intelligent who are affraid of it".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've heard the hungry but sane before, they don't sound like that at all.
asciilifeform: d00d ain't hungry, you can take that to the bank.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's no room for pity or such bs here. dood had his moment to epiphanize, missed out on it, what more can be said, or need be said.
asciilifeform: i dun think he has to pinch pennies for them microscopes.
mircea_popescu: you mean them microscopes that don't exist.
asciilifeform: notmuch. i'ma bbl, gotta paint some dna.
kanzure: why would i have you vet my epipenises?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can i lean on you the other way nao plox ?
asciilifeform: ohh aha 1s
asciilifeform: we never did see that product catalogue 'in 2 wks' didwe mircea_popescu
kanzure: i thought "in 2 weeks" is the handwave answer?
asciilifeform: !!rate kanzure -1 minor-league quisling; inquire within
asciilifeform: !!v 3129E08CE0D3159D79FA46BEB345F332DEA19DB355A2C0349CFD09A65BBF1E79
deedbot: asciilifeform updated rating of kanzure from 1 to -1 << minor-league quisling; inquire within
asciilifeform: back go all things to their proper orbits.
mircea_popescu: kanzure you were judged and came out worthless ; waste the rest of your inconsequential time somewhere else.
mircea_popescu: !!down kanzure
asciilifeform bbl ferrealz
shinohai: Sorry to read about your click resetting earlier mircea_popescu .... didja get it back going?
mircea_popescu: nah not gonna.
mircea_popescu: gotta do smaller things till the client's in better shape.
mircea_popescu: it crashed again meanwhile.
shinohai: Longest click I have ever done was for diana_coman .... only took a few hours though.
shinohai: Thankfully, no resets.
mod6: click?
mod6: like duration of crafting?
mircea_popescu: mod6 he's talking eulora
shinohai: Yup, sorry bout that
shinohai: (Wrong chan!)
mod6: np at all.
mod6: fwiw, i logged in day or so ago to check and ensure at least on the surface, all was still well.
mircea_popescu: was it ?
mircea_popescu: you should have pretty high q stuff now, since the float.
mod6: i was able to log in, np, and my ecu had 10x'd
mircea_popescu: all oldsters do.
mod6: i made mention in #eulora, but was brief.
mircea_popescu: aha cool.
mod6: lol, and apparently non-specific.
shinohai: I haven't seen danielpbarron since the reset, hope he's ok. I still have his items.
mod6: (15:24) < mod6> looking good! << my apologies.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> you should have pretty high q stuff now, since the float. << ah cool! i'll check it out.
mod6: <+shinohai> I haven't seen danielpbarron since the reset, hope he's ok. I still have his items. << he's in-game now it seems
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, \i just bought myself 3mn cft. yum.
mircea_popescu: anyway, tbh i like the new cli-style merchant interface a lot better in priciple.
mod6: lol, i've got a stone pickaxe you made me once, that's now 1Mq
shinohai: Yeah the cli-interface took a little adjustment but I kinda liked it once I figured it out
mod6: this game is awesome
mod6: i've got this 11yo kid begging me to get him into it.
mod6: friends kid.
mircea_popescu: anyway, next step is to actually declare a server api, with much better hooks for content delivery etc. should grow nicely once all that's in.
mod6: that'll be awesome Mr. P.
shinohai: Field conditions appear fine.
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-16#1715201 << Does the question not make sense?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-16 01:34 mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/tmsr-rsa-spec-extremely-early-draft/#comment-122947 << in other wtf questions.
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!
mircea_popescu: (tl;dr : here's proof oaep is insecure ; original "proofs" wrong ; rsa-oaep is not insecure by accident, due to rsa properteis ; here's oaep+ fixed by me to actually work)
mircea_popescu: PeterL i also sent an email earlier this week. the world's ending.
PeterL: by the way, I stuffed the keccak ada stuff (and, speaking of OAEP, here is one of those too) into https://github.com/PeterMLambert/keccak since I don't have my own server up yet
BingoBoingo: OMG Police adopting filthy hippy tactics nao: "They marched to the on-ramp of I-64 at Clark Street, but officers on bicycles formed a human chain to prevent them from shutting down highway traffic. The protesters left that area without any physical confrontations."
PeterL: what pansy protesters
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Well, that was earlier in the day when there was still sunlight
PeterL: are they vampires, afraid of the light or something?
BingoBoingo: Breakingest news is pantsuit Mayor's home vandalized https://archive.is/OI5cQ
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Yes they are afraid of the light.
BingoBoingo: It's their taken version 'we r anon, no raep us back pls; k thx bye'
PeterL: With RSA-OAEP, one can encrypt messages whose bit-length is up to just a few hundred bits less than the number of bits in the RSA modulus, yielding a ciphertext whose size is the same as that of the RSA modulus. << It sounds like he is using a smaller amount of random bits than we are?
PeterL: Why is it that papers written by one guy still insist on using the "We" form for all the things they do?
BingoBoingo: Because fist ass unity takes two people
BingoBoingo: And from there custom spreads
