12:43 asciilifeform a proper reenactment of the scene depicted in 'cryptonomicon'
12:44 mircea_popescu apparently it's reported feb 12th reported as fixed 17th
12:44 asciilifeform fixed?!
12:45 mircea_popescu apparently it was a leak of the ecdh keys, and there's an update libgrcyprt
12:46 mircea_popescu ie they forgot to mention it works specifically on ec crypto. but anyway.
12:46 asciilifeform there is no ~fix~ for radiating the bits. other than... not to.
12:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's no rule that you have to leak useful bits.
12:47 asciilifeform it is possible to calculate in such a way that the same bits are radiated regardless of inputs. but NOT on x86.

12:50 asciilifeform it radiates just the same.

Maybe an 8 bit PC was appropriate. Or 32 bits for those applications needing 4 GN (giga-nibbles) of powerhouse processing.'
18:15 asciilifeform 'So the inevitable question is "how did a jump work?" That was entirely up to the engineer crafting the circuits. The OEN instruction could be used to disable any changes occurring on the output data; at the end of a loop assert OEN and let the machine execute whatever instructions - hopefully NOPs - remained until the PC rolled over. There was a JMP, but that instruction simply toggled an ou

18:18 asciilifeform ^ not mine, rather the earlier linked
18:19 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: there is idiot-original and there is original.
18:19 asciilifeform the pattern in which a dog vomit lands is not the same as a theorem.
18:21 asciilifeform bit-serial cpu is meaningfully and interestingly unlike anything that came before (or, afaik, after.)

18:23 assbot 2 results for 'morgan 3-wheeler' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=morgan+3-wheeler
18:24 * pete_dushenski hasn't tried to make personally, admittedly
18:24 asciilifeform i can't even picture such a thing
18:24 asciilifeform as a car that i'd want to drive.
18:24 asciilifeform it is like 'stake i want to sit on'
18:24 asciilifeform how about none.
18:25 pete_dushenski now you're confusing 'commute i'd want to drive' with 'car i'd want to drive'
18:25 pete_dushenski these are not the same thing
18:25 asciilifeform if not for commute, why would i drive ?
18:26 pete_dushenski there is no such thing as a pleasant commute. it's for slaves and sucks commensurately. as it should.
18:26 asciilifeform aha
18:26 asciilifeform but why would a free man, other than perhaps one who enjoys the racetrack, drive ?
18:26 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: drive to travel (ie. road trip), drive for sport (ie. track)

18:28 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: say you want to pop up to montreal for the week, so you rent something fast, enjoy yourself with pet. road trip chats are quite unlike anything else.
18:28 asciilifeform airplane. cabs.
18:29 pete_dushenski airplanes come with tsa. cabs come with stinky arabs.
18:29 pete_dushenski neither is any sort of freedom.
18:31 pete_dushenski and wtf a 10 hour cab ride would cost a grand+. each way. you can fly to amsterdam for that. or rent porsche from rental company for drive.
18:31 asciilifeform wai why would i ten hour cab.
18:31 asciilifeform that is what airplane is for ?
18:32 pete_dushenski this is fantasy trip to montreal, recall. you said cab man, not me.
18:32 asciilifeform and what to do with porsche ? it goes at same speed as toyota in traffic.
18:32 asciilifeform take it to the desert ?
18:33 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: i meant, airplane to it, and the cab inside.
18:33 pete_dushenski well, don't drive in traffic. take scenic route. that's the whole point of car. the scenery. as well as the ability to stop here for lunch and there for coffee and over there for an ice cream, etc.
18:34 pete_dushenski too aristocratic for you ? not 'efficient' enough ?
18:34 pete_dushenski then take plane. no one will stop you.
18:35 pete_dushenski and if you're going to take car to desert, make sure it's the utah salt flats https://talesfromthebatcoupedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/img_0573.jpg

18:37 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: nothing aristocratic about driving own machine imho
18:37 asciilifeform but i have nfi, i'm not an aristocrat
18:39 pete_dushenski there's everything aristocratic about owning the means of production and transportation. why do you think 'car sharing' and 'sharing economy' are so in vogue with the impoverished masters degree set ?
18:40 pete_dushenski hell, even owning your own hdd/sdd is becoming a Big Deal.
18:43 asciilifeform eh its just elementary chumpatronics.
18:43 asciilifeform imbeciles conned into pseudo-'cheaper'
18:43 asciilifeform it is not because anyone literally cannot afford hdd
18:44 asciilifeform and pretty much anyone in usa can afford an old car (they start at a few hundy)
18:44 jurov so where's the difference?
18:44 asciilifeform between what?
18:45 jurov are you sayind driving own car and driving own hdd is different or it is not or?
18:45 asciilifeform not really similar other than in cost
18:45 jurov and how so?
18:46 asciilifeform driving yourself, on public streets, is still rather like 'cloud storage'
18:46 asciilifeform the equivalent of 'your own hdd' transportation-wise would be, perhaps, a chopper.
18:47 jurov you're seeing it with completely different angle
18:48 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically. old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc. a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
18:50 asciilifeform i dun see it re: the desktop.
18:50 asciilifeform it costs precious little.
18:50 asciilifeform (unless you're a jungle man in which case it costs infinity.)
18:50 * asciilifeform bbl.
18:54 pete_dushenski if you're not making $100k++ per annum and cannot afford extra rooms in house or apartment to enjoy as 'office', then yes, a jungle man is you. in which case, you're using a phablet primarily and a dusty laptop on rare occasions when you need to print a document. the only exception being, perhaps, g4amerz.

19:52 pete_dushenski wondering where the day went :)
19:52 mod6 me too, busy as f. but im out of the woods on this work thing i think.
19:56 mod6 its so boring
19:57 mod6 i was lookin at tinyscheme stuff. trying to wrap my mind around stuff.
19:58 mod6 like there's this thing called 'guile' that'll let you issue system commands and such...
19:58 mod6 i think im like, getting lost in all the different dialects of lisp.
19:59 pete_dushenski lol
19:59 pete_dushenski ima bbl
20:00 mod6 i was trying to do (system "ls") or whatever with tinyscheme, but i must be doin something wrong
20:02 mod6 i guess it just says "unbound variable: system" but it seems to be in the docs under extentions. *shrug*
20:02 mod6 more reading i guess.
20:02 asciilifeform mod6: 'guile' is another scheme interpreter.
20:03 asciilifeform mod6: there is no 'system' in our tinyscheme.
20:03 asciilifeform (can add it, or anything, for that matter, if we need to)
20:06 mod6 ah, werd. ok.
20:06 mod6 (quit) works lol
