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." [05:50]
BingoBoingo: When's the fun? [05:51]
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 [05:54]
BingoBoingo: nically. And their ceasing to attend my lectures would lower their course grades.”" [05:54]

mircea_popescu: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tMAgD/?raw=true << illustrative. [16:50]
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?' [16:51]
mircea_popescu: no, because the first romanian to ever notice this exists was called mircea popescu. [16:52]
asciilifeform: lolk [16:53]
mircea_popescu: that's the advantage of living in a small pond, the exact opposite of the problem of math. [16:53]
* asciilifeform can picture [16:53]
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could stretch "hypocrisy" to try and fit it, if you must. [16:53]
asciilifeform: nah unspecific [16:54]
mircea_popescu: well you could also call it graham, or yarvin, or somesuch. [16:54]
asciilifeform: sopirla is very delectably specific [16:54]
asciilifeform: lol [16:54]
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 [16:55]
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"). [16:56]
mircea_popescu: too loose and he won't be comprehended, like poisson couldn't read galois, notwithstanding certain talent and ability. [16:56]

asciilifeform: ^ thread somewhere [16:56]
mircea_popescu: too tight and it won't be worth reading, like all the nature science being pushed out by the shovelful. [16:57]
mircea_popescu: nature-mag science. [16:57]
asciilifeform: it's a fundamental tension in ~everything~, because it is in fact an information-theoretical problem and not at all domain-specific [16:57]
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as information theoretical, seeing how information has an actual thermodynamic backing. [16:57]
mircea_popescu: it is purely theoretical! as in theoretical physics theoretical. [16:58]
asciilifeform: yayagodcreatedintegersandallelseisworkofman etc [16:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "if one built a cylinder with independent pistons and a partition, and put a single molecule in, and knew on which side it found itself, that one could extract entropy work out of the assemblage!" [16:58]

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wk4BV/?raw=true [17:10]
asciilifeform: got it! [17:11]
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. [17:15]
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!" [17:15]
mircea_popescu: then if you really care about 2d, 3d, nd effects we can... guess what... examine further orthogonal ones ?! wow! [17:16]

asciilifeform: and write on what? [19:40]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Presumably african frog? [19:40]
kanzure: anyway the concern is that there's not enough pure silicon available to make enough flash memory for future projected demands of like 2^28 bits in ~20 years. [19:40]
asciilifeform: and so instead write with dna, a mol of which weighs approx what young elephant weighs ? [19:41]
asciilifeform: makes tape look pretty good [19:41]
kanzure: 10^14 kg of wafer-grade silicon vs 1 kg dna [19:41]
asciilifeform: 'folx who refuse to do arithmetic are doomed to talk nonsense' as mccarthy put it [19:41]
kanzure: and i think it's like 1 picogram/bit for flash memory.. [19:42]
asciilifeform: and precisely how are we to run out of si, the #1 abundant element in the planet's crust ?! [19:42]
asciilifeform: holyfuq [19:42]
kanzure: we currently are not processing beach sand for semiconductor wafers [19:42]

asciilifeform: this 'pack the planet with bodies until everywhere looks like a crowded lift' thing ain't long for this world, kanzure [19:43]
asciilifeform: and certainly the 'and give each an ipnoje so he'll shuddup' ain't either. [19:43]
kanzure: these cat pics are important [19:43]
asciilifeform: y'know the meat device for displaying those is already built : there's 1 on my windowsill atm [19:44]
kanzure: but the nsa can't use that to capture and store all the packets.. [19:45]
asciilifeform: on 2nd thought 'nsa stores packets on dna' is just the right kind of starwars idiocy that oughta be encouraged. [19:45]

mircea_popescu: how come these tards manage to always "be concerned" about "future" insufficiency ? [19:46]
mircea_popescu: THEYRE INSUFFICIENT TODAY! and enoughly so for anyone! [19:46]
asciilifeform: they got meat production 5year plan, y'see [19:47]
kanzure: i typed 50 pages of notes (about 30k words) but i'm not sure it should be considered public [19:47]
mircea_popescu: there's not enough si, check that dumb shit out, only the most common material in crust. [19:47]
mircea_popescu: kanzure actually, it should be considered manure. [19:47]
asciilifeform: see that there living room ? it's to have 50 somalis in it by end of 5yplan. [19:47]

asciilifeform: boneh is imho an interesting example of a man who thought that intellectual and political integrity were severable [19:51]

asciilifeform: kanzure: if the year were 1995 and you were on sci.crypt and the denizen loon is promising 'zipper that zips 100MB into 100kB' you would laugh. but you do not laugh at publickkeysignatureaggregation ?! [19:53]
asciilifeform: pray tell why not. [19:53]
asciilifeform: and this is only one of the pseudoscientific horrors that boneh is pushing today. [19:54]
mircea_popescu: i don't expect he's familiar. [19:54]
asciilifeform: ( flavoured with much proofyjuice of course ) [19:54]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is explicitly mentioned in kanzure's link, which is why i use as example [19:54]
mircea_popescu: you don't correctly grasp the level of superficiality involved. [19:54]
mircea_popescu: remember, "atmospheric feeding". [19:54]
asciilifeform: plus obsessed over in the #wizards heathen pit where kanzure is known to dwell [19:54]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's meaningless. [19:55]
asciilifeform: so betcha he knows. [19:55]
mircea_popescu: what's the definition of "know" contemplated here ? [19:55]
asciilifeform: 1) knows how $algo worx 2) knows how it fails, and eventually produces phantom sigs 3) knows who pushes it 4) knows why [19:55]
mircea_popescu: "visually recognizes string, like parrot" or somesuch ? [19:55]
mircea_popescu: absolutely not. [19:55]
BingoBoingo: Know is a prejudicial un-solarshaded term [19:55]
kanzure: just last week i was in SF because http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/bitcoin-core-dev-tech/2017-09-06-signature-aggregation/ [19:56]
asciilifeform: aha! [19:56]
asciilifeform: knows. [19:56]
kanzure: i wasn't aware that i had to report my whereabouts to you guys but whatever [19:56]
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. [19:56]
asciilifeform: kanzure: really nobody gives half a shit [19:56]
asciilifeform: i presume that d00d knows because he is not unintelligent. [19:57]
kanzure: you don't give me giga shits? [19:57]
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. [19:57]
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. [19:57]
asciilifeform: now i have nfi actually re kanzure . but boneh knows very well what he's doing. [19:57]
kanzure: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~mihir/papers/multisignatures-ccs.pdf [19:58]
mircea_popescu: people-who-talk-at-conferences, ie indie bands, will at any point also be in a conference hall. [19:58]
asciilifeform: his nuremberg defense will be challenging. [19:58]
mircea_popescu: the whole thing is driven by the bar. [19:58]
asciilifeform: so kanzure wouldja humour me, and say to me why i cannot compress a 1000TB backup into a 1024byte sig [19:58]
mircea_popescu: ie, if it has seats and a stage there's going to be some kind of fly land on each. [19:58]
asciilifeform: and get it out again [19:58]
kanzure: anyway thanks for the encouragement about public releasing (d|i)arpa notes [19:58]
kanzure: why are you doing compression [19:59]
asciilifeform: to show how ludicrous the claim of 'aggregate N signatures into fixed space' [19:59]
kanzure: i thought this was about authorization [19:59]
asciilifeform: it is about informationtheoretical impossibility of the claim, period [19:59]
asciilifeform: and the inadmissibility of lossy operations in crypto [19:59]
mircea_popescu: you're so far from any kind of shared priors, there's absolutely no possible result here. [20:00]
asciilifeform: and the people who made devil's bargain with usg, supposed 'academics' who lie for money like the lowest crack whore does not. [20:00]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do regularly try to find some shared prior. [20:01]
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. [20:01]
asciilifeform: hm i must've missed this thread [20:01]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is strictly impossible to have. he is dedicated to being stupid, and i suspect by now too old for any change to be even arguably +ev. [20:01]

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the conceptualization of one being an utter fucktard can't happen in the comfortably idiotic. [20:07]
mircea_popescu: alcohol is a muchly preferable addiction to usgtronic stupidity in that it actually DOES something. [20:07]
asciilifeform: step 3 may be to stop doing dancytricks for darpa/iarpa/fucktarpa for pocket change, esp. if yer already 'rich' [20:07]

mircea_popescu: PeterL makes perfect sense. [22:45]
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. [22:49]
PeterL: and do you make it -1 bit or -1 byte? [22:49]
mircea_popescu: bit should suffice but might not be practically useful. [22:50]
mircea_popescu: incidentally, should prolly take a look at http://www.shoup.net/papers/oaep.pdf also [22:53]
PeterL: what is this, mircea_popescu linking a pdf?!? the scandal! [22:55]
mircea_popescu: (tldr : 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) [22:55]
