mircea_popescu phf internet produces necessarily a mixed bag. still, the guy correctly identified a workable airgap scheme on his own, should count for something. [00:04]

BingoBoingo What. Preet got a picture. I figured I needed to get a picture for Kim when he tested the new bomb. [00:09]
* BingoBoingo pretty sure it's a shoop. Kim's kinda a ham. [00:10]
mircea_popescu just cuz of the horseback meme. [00:10]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform some sillyness about how some derp prankcalled an unnamed silicon manufacturer, pretended to be a secret agency so secret not even the name is known, asked for a spec on an unspecified cpu packaging other than "it must be just like irl ones" and received a 100k firm bid on the phone as long as he provides "his ip" [02:08]
mircea_popescu it was something else. [02:08]
asciilifeform https://archive.is/vhyZk << found it, ty punkman [02:09]
assbot One of the reasons I decided not to use optocouplers is a story I got from a fr - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1Sak7Z7 ) [02:10]
asciilifeform incidentally, even supposing the great satan knew how to fit an entire battalion of snitches and three whole atomic bombs into an optocoupler, the fun part re: using standard analogue parts is that YOU CAN GET THEM FROM ANCIENT MACHINES [02:11]
asciilifeform including soviet etc. [02:11]
mircea_popescu i'd actually very much want to see this wunderwaffen where they put bluetooth in the optoitem. [02:12]
asciilifeform reasonably it wouldn't be bluetooth but one of the 'shitmonkey' or what was it called, from snowden-II document, simple short-range radio thing [02:12]
asciilifeform use one of the legs, or power supply, or whole bus, as antenna. [02:13]
mircea_popescu in parts the reddit-powered "infosec" "community" sounds a lot more like some sort of clinically relevant entomophobia in imminent danger of taking the leap into delusional parasitosis. [02:13]
asciilifeform dragos ruiu et al [02:13]
mircea_popescu aha remember him [02:14]

asciilifeform delusional parasitosis is built from two basic components - collective 'tooth-licking' (as naggum called it), where buncha folks happily 'folie a deux' together 2) palpable powerlessness, 'no microscope anywhere can possibly see the bugs', etc [02:16]
asciilifeform panic in the face of what is seen as infinitely powerful devil [02:17]
mircea_popescu the irony of the situation being that the soviets weren't nearly as impressed by the significantly more powerful soviet state. [02:17]
asciilifeform because it was palpably made of 'folks who smell of vodka just like me' [02:17]
asciilifeform or somethinglikethat [02:17]

mircea_popescu the recent debias-otp-plaintext thing being a splendid if amusing example in this exact line. [12:54]
ascii_butugychag i was surprised how nobody reacted to that mega-l0ltr0n [12:55]
mircea_popescu (meanwhile i asked for the why and wherefore of the "debiasing" of the plaintext. "no you idiot, it's so you burn less otp. what the fuck's wrong with you!") [12:55]
ascii_butugychag ^ aha! dingdingding correct [12:56]
mod6 shinohai: ok thanks for the update. let us know how it goes. [12:56]
ascii_butugychag running out of otp is rather like running out of ammo, [12:56]
ascii_butugychag but with the difference that one might, given a miracle, find more ammo [12:56]
ascii_butugychag whereas your otp in the field is the one you have. [12:57]
mircea_popescu ascii_butugychag see, bering the commander of a glorious, victorious army unit does not protect one from dying in a drunken bar brawl. [12:57]

nubbins` re: ex-ss agent shaun bridges: hyper-lel [12:57]

ascii_butugychag and in defense of mircea_popescu , the arithmetical boojum involved was a subtle one, sorta like montyhall [12:58]
mircea_popescu a fifteen year old in what alf calls "orc" lands has at leastr a coupla of friends. [12:58]
mircea_popescu that man, that redditards are supposed to be affraid of, had none. [12:58]
mircea_popescu what life is this ? what power, what glory. [12:58]
nubbins` mircea_popescu my heart empathetically raced as i imagined the empty pit of despair engulfing him at the moment of re-arrest [12:58]
nubbins` the korean term for this is literally translated as "smelling sesame oil" [12:59]
mircea_popescu like the idiot thief, sorry he got caught, not sorry he's the sort of dumbass that feeds himself in the least effectual way, yes. [12:59]
mircea_popescu a bettrer man would have despaired when realising that he has no soul to rely on. [12:59]
nubbins` a better man'd be worm food decades ago [12:59]
ascii_butugychag ^ [12:59]
mircea_popescu perhaps. [12:59]
nubbins` what a lel. i wonder what /else/ they nabbed him with. [12:59]
ascii_butugychag likely, the keyz [13:00]
ascii_butugychag which was the whole point. [13:00]
nubbins` ^ [13:00]
ascii_butugychag (of 'letting him go') [13:00]
mircea_popescu so far the usg is like 3-0 for "kidnapped, murdered and extorted keys" [13:00]
nubbins` they pointedly stated that the released list of bounty was abridged [13:00]
mircea_popescu ofcourse, they're mostly doing their own people, but anyway. [13:01]

trinque yeah [18:18]
PeterL has anybody had ideas for how to make syncing go faster? [18:19]
thestringpuller PeterL: SSD [18:19]
mircea_popescu in general, the checking of blocks should be properly paralelized. this is a complex task, and will take a while. [18:21]
ascii_butugychag PeterL: sign a copy of the blockchain, then push it to new box... [18:21]
mircea_popescu in practice results can be achieved with more hardware. [18:21]
mircea_popescu the power rangers have esentially gone down the path of "well... let's just not do checking", which is exactly in line with us fashions. [18:21]
ascii_butugychag mircea_popescu: actually it would be quite trivial to parallelize, i just haven't the hands presently [18:21]
PeterL has anybody here published signed blockchains? [18:21]
ascii_butugychag and i measured what takes up most of a sync time - it isn't verification [18:22]
ascii_butugychag but i/o derpery [18:22]
thestringpuller PeterL: mircea_popescu used to [18:22]
thestringpuller on mpex proxy somewhere [18:22]
ascii_butugychag and transmission of blocks which can't possibly be absorbed at time t [18:22]
thestringpuller forgot where that link went tho [18:22]
ascii_butugychag the stock sync mechanism is batshit insane [18:22]
PeterL yeah, it seems like there should be a way to tell it to cache some blocks to check later? [18:23]
ascii_butugychag no. [18:23]
ascii_butugychag i killed this with my own hands [18:23]
shinohai I keep backup copy of blockchain on pogo now, I have it syncing from real node every 12 hours. [18:23]
ascii_butugychag because it is fucktarded. [18:24]

phf i recall that was first major trb patch [18:24]
ascii_butugychag we have no such thing as 'connect to trusted node' [18:25]
thestringpuller orphanage thermonuke test 2 [18:25]
ascii_butugychag because we haven't any crypto [18:25]
ascii_butugychag and nodes haven't any actual hard identity as consequence [18:25]
ascii_butugychag i thought we've been through this 1,001 times. [18:25]
thestringpuller but openssl [18:25]
phf but the thinking at the time was that trb peers shouldn't be cascade sending you bogus chains, when you don't ask for them, and that optimization should start with improvements to block request/response mechanism [18:26]
mircea_popescu the stock sync mechanism is batshit insane << this yes. but even if all that were fixed, verification will still take time. [18:26]

phf it seems like a cool profiling target, how long it takes to eatblock entire chain across different ssds on some test hardware [18:28]
ascii_butugychag but i can't argue that the serial processing is asinine [18:28]
ascii_butugychag it certainly ~is~ [18:28]
mircea_popescu phf it's so fucking random you'd have to do 1000s of assays [18:28]
ascii_butugychag mircea_popescu: eatblock is deterministic [18:28]
ascii_butugychag and can be used even on a nic-less box [18:29]

mircea_popescu i dunno... [21:22]
asciilifeform the process whereby we got the cl standard is every bit as ugly as the standard itself [21:23]
mircea_popescu ah in that sense [21:23]
mircea_popescu aite [21:23]
mircea_popescu "Someone once claimed to me that the problems with standards work is that the process is so exhausting that no one who ever finishes the task wants to try another, so everyone involved is always brand new and no knowledge ever propagates from cycle to cycle. This isn’t literally true, but there is still some truth to it." << and THE REASON FOR THIS is that, quote from same source, "This is a story about personal hist [21:24]
mircea_popescu ory and growth. It might on occasion appear to portray certain individuals—primarily myself, but perhaps others—in an unflattering light. Part of the point of this paper is that we have each grown through our respective experiences. There is no intent to disparage anyone." [21:24]
mircea_popescu with that inept attitude, it'll only get worse./ [21:24]
asciilifeform the sheer and obvious futility of the standardization process, as it existed then and there, selected against the smart, the intellectually honest, and in general anybody 'with theorems to prove' [21:34]

asciilifeform logical. [21:45]

mircea_popescu now, the CHANCE part we got well covered. [21:45]
mircea_popescu the rest... what can i say. takes time. [21:45]
mircea_popescu "ne day while working with the MACSYMA group, I was around when someone was assigning offices—or desks, really, since offices were generally shared. “Where is mine?” I asked, somewhat jokingly. As far as I knew, only graduate students were entitled to offices. The person doing the arranging didn’t realize I was joking and responded in seriousness that he didn’t know and would try to find one for me. Of course [21:51]
mircea_popescu , I immediately went to the several other undergraduates working on the same project and said, “they don’t know we’re not supposed to have offices.” But soon we all did have offices, or at least desks in offices with dedicated VT52 terminals atop them. My office was shared with Guy Steele, co-inventor of the SCHEME programming language, and JonL White, author and maintainer of the MACLISP compiler. [21:51]
mircea_popescu I spent nearly all of my hours at the Lab, often to the detriment of my class work, which is why I took 5 years to graduate. During my time there, I worked mostly for credit, only very occasionally for tiny amounts of money—about $5 per hour for a small number of hours a week programming MACSYMA, as I recall. Most of my time was as a volunteer, and in that time I did some additional work on MACSYMA but also some pers [21:51]
mircea_popescu onal projects. [21:51]
mircea_popescu During all of this, I picked up a lot of trivia about the MACLISP language, which was not very well-documented. David Moon had written a manual a few years earlier, but it was out of date and featured primarily the Honeywell Multics implementation of MACLISP, not the PDP10 implementation. Also, as it happened, Don Knuth had just come out with TEX typesetting language and I was looking for possible uses for it, so I att [21:51]
mircea_popescu empted to set up some formats for writing a manual. When that produced something pleasant to look at, it occurred to me that I should just make a whole manual about MACLISP." [21:51]
