mircea_popescu wut. [12:58]
PeterL "she was walking her dog down street, gave her a treat", "he was walking down the street with his dog, gave him a treat" [12:58]
mircea_popescu dogs are it. [12:58]
kakobrekla no, the dog gave the treat [12:58]
PeterL her can be equivalent to him or his, because English is not a very systematic language [12:59]
danielpbarron that's why dog owners always bring plastic baggies; for treat collection [12:59]
thestringpuller nubbins`: something something loyalty. [12:59]
mircea_popescu the dog treat[ment]! [12:59]

mircea_popescu it's probably the antichrist. [13:08]

mircea_popescu "Yet another article describing what we've known for a while : secure computing is in fact rendered impossible by the hardware itself, what with DMAi, what with defective separation of controlii with CPUs embedded in all the peripherals anyway and so on and so forth." [13:12]

mircea_popescu holy shit trilema was discussing the "hard drtives discovery" a year ago ? [13:13]
mircea_popescu thanks asciilifeform for digging it up lol [13:13]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: probably needs entirely new chemistry. << graphite base ? [13:18]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu doesn't like spiders? [13:18]
mircea_popescu no one says you need a dielectric with conductive masks, you could use a conductor with dielectric masks ? [13:18]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities << you're right that it's the wrong thought, and also, "customary" - honestly even making something like a z80, as long as it can be made at home, with equipment costing about what a z80 cost, is well worth it.

jurov let's say it takes 10 cycles per average instruction, at 8MHz, ecdsa is about 500k steps [13:27]
jurov ;;calc 500000/(8000000/10) [13:27]
gribble 0.625 [13:27]
jurov and i suspect i'm very optimistic about 500k steps = 500k 16bit instructions [13:28]
jurov lol it's 8bit actually xD [13:29]
* Lycerion_ is now known as Lycerion [13:30]
mircea_popescu jurov this discussion is along the lines of "nobody will use bitcoin if transactions take > x arbitrary time" [13:30]
mircea_popescu this is false : when there is no alternative, no one "doesn't use" it because aesthetics. [13:30]
nubbins` !s portatronic [13:31]
assbot 13 results for 'portatronic' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=portatronic [13:31]
mircea_popescu if the only way to make a secure signature is to take a day to do it, heck, you'll take a day. [13:31]
mircea_popescu people did business when it took a month. [13:31]
jurov so they'll use only because they can cook it at home? [13:31]
kakobrekla x arbitrary time < not when x approaches infinite [13:31]
jurov when there's a restaurant 1000x faster? [13:31]
mircea_popescu jurov there isn't. [13:31]
mircea_popescu that's the point. if there is we just use that. [13:32]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla yes, only for finite xen [13:32]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: and hence this. << tis great, what. [13:33]
kakobrekla you actually dont have to go that far. for me 100years + is pretty much as good as infinite, as i dont expect to see it [13:34]
jurov what specifically "there isn't"? [13:34]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla agreed. [13:34]

mircea_popescu jurov there isn't hardware you can trust. [13:34]
jurov there is. teletype and such [13:35]
mircea_popescu but regardless, that's not how death comes to it. death comes to it like bitcoin came to the usd : first, it's a toy. [13:35]
mircea_popescu then... [13:35]
jurov z80 is closer to teletype than to any modern cpu [13:35]
mircea_popescu i merely wish to point out that i had better games on the z80 than on the ipad. [13:35]
jurov but you certainly didn't have better crypto [13:36]
mircea_popescu but i did have better security. [13:36]

nubbins` was actually wondering if a specific thing'd come up [13:36]
jurov as long as you made no transactions involving wires or floppies, then yes. [13:36]
mircea_popescu i did. but nobody had a clue to tap them. [13:37]
jurov or you seriously propose homebrew ICs just to be able to play 8bit stuff again? [13:37]
mircea_popescu not exactly. but to reconstruct the universe of people who made and played those, and their thoughts and ideas. [13:38]
Adlai https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9066090 [13:38]
assbot So the question is - do we really want to keep our market economy and see if it ... | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1Bmaizk ) [13:38]
mircea_popescu a large portion of the insecurity today is due to the fact that people like poettering CAN be involved. [13:38]
mircea_popescu the reason z80 era was secure was because governments, generally, COULD NOT be involved [13:38]
mircea_popescu for lack of intellectual capacity [13:38]
mircea_popescu (note i am discussing strictly soviet satellites here, obviously each place has its own golden age) [13:38]
jurov lol you idealize it. they were involved exactly because it was simple, unlike any crypto [13:38]
jurov no maffs nmecessary [13:39]
mircea_popescu i happen to know the guys and what they did, exhaustively and personally. [13:39]
mircea_popescu no idealization involved. [13:39]
mircea_popescu but perhaps excessive geo particularization, obv. [13:39]
jurov well, i know some too. very few of them improved so much that they would be able to implement bitcoin [13:40]
jurov like, statistical error [13:40]
mircea_popescu it's not so much a "i want those guys back" as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot a govt mole from a mile away" [13:40]
kakobrekla Adlai stupid thread. just wait till you cant distinguish silicon from flesh. [13:41]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: when has it ever been easy to spot a mole? [13:41]
mircea_popescu and im pretty sure the us had this too, even if i wasn't there t o witness, for reasons like the beginning of gate's career, when he was a whiny turd outcast at computer conventions. [13:41]
thestringpuller Or at least a good one. Spies have gotten better methinks. [13:41]
mircea_popescu his rise in fact exactly mirrors this particular economic change, where shitgnomes finally became able to breach into computing. [13:42]
Adlai kakobrekla: s/silicon|flesh/lab-grown|organic/ [13:42]

mircea_popescu decimation: < 'leadership' at its finest << no, he has a point, and it's perhaps the first time i've seen obama say something intelligent. [13:43]
Adlai note that in this case both would technically be "organic", but one side has the moral superiority of whatever the "organic" buzzword stands for [13:43]
mircea_popescu what he is saying is, "you can not give me an unbounded task and then expect me to reason about it. you already set the tone as metaphysical by your task description" [13:43]
mircea_popescu but he says it decorously. [13:43]
thestringpuller Well you had ninjas and shit a millenium ago. Now you have "poor replication" or ninja. [13:44]
thestringpuller of ninja* [13:44]
mircea_popescu and his point is entirely valid : when it comes to idiocy, blaming obama is pointless. blame the public. [13:44]
nubbins` blaming the public is kinda pointless too [13:44]
mircea_popescu how so ? [13:44]
mircea_popescu i do not mean "the public" collectively. [13:44]
nubbins` might as well blame the wind. what's to gain? [13:44]
nubbins` o. [13:44]
mircea_popescu i mean, joint and several, every single individual, individually. [13:44]
nubbins` of course you do [13:44]

assbot Logged on 18-02-2015 14:49:27; nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time. [14:17]

mircea_popescu btw, i bet you half a dead badger someone ejaculated on vs any trading card mythological beast that this entire z-ification of words is a ploy by some well connected (online) otaku to improve the scrabble board. [14:24]
mircea_popescu cause zhe is like all into scrabble and hates the lack of zwords so zhe made zsome. [14:24]
