09:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform thinking about it, the walker scheme doesn't seem too great. the theoretical objection is that it ~does~ introduce structure, through the convention that the walker moves from where it last moved. in practice though, run a few simulations over a 16bit message which you can then print as a 256x256 bitmap. your walker makes anthills basically.
09:17 mircea_popescu pretty wasteful use of entropy.
09:21 mircea_popescu ajhajajaja roger ver owns bitcoins ?
09:21 mircea_popescu good thing there's reddit. now that yahoo "finance" closed the public boards, where'd all the scum go.

10:12 mircea_popescu yes. a point n distance from origin has more chances of being walked over than a point 2n distance from origin by a factor of about 1.4
10:13 asciilifeform you naturally gotta run long enough for p(walked all many times) to ~= 1
10:13 mircea_popescu this resolves the part where "all have been walked" though not the part where there's structure intrinsic in the method.
10:13 mircea_popescu moreover, to be 99% sure 100% of 64kb were walked, you need millions of steps.
10:14 asciilifeform that, you do, i warned.
10:14 mircea_popescu specifically 256kb does not even remotely promise for 64kb to be walked. you get a third untouched more than half the time.
10:15 asciilifeform i estimated a 16 fold margin.
10:15 mircea_popescu it was 3 fold yest.
10:15 asciilifeform noooo
10:15 mircea_popescu the correct margin is N^2

10:18 asciilifeform but that was anally calculated. i have not tried with trng yet.
10:20 asciilifeform and yes, the cost is high. but i remain unconvinced that a better method exists.
10:20 asciilifeform i suspect that one could even prove that it cannot.
10:26 mircea_popescu "better" is not a mathematical concept.
10:26 mircea_popescu so no, one couldn't prove such.
10:26 asciilifeform there is a specific job involved
10:27 asciilifeform that is quantifiable
10:31 asciilifeform that was actually where i stopped last time. to properly and rigorously define the problem
10:33 asciilifeform informally stated , it is 'spread out k bits over j bits, j>k, such that the bitness of k that can be learned from knowing any 1 bit of j is minimized, and such that knowledge of a
10:33 asciilifeform all but one bit of j,
10:34 asciilifeform of k rather
10:34 asciilifeform gives NO knowledge of j.'
10:36 asciilifeform rivest wss afaik the first to ask for this. but he and afaik everybody since him, used hashes.
10:36 asciilifeform *was
10:40 asciilifeform i suspect that a good bit of crypto research was lobotomized by historic rng poverty.
10:40 asciilifeform (and not merely by the obvious lobotomist)
10:47 mircea_popescu this may well be true yes.
10:53 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-24#1590098 << btw it is apparently back

10:54 asciilifeform (link -- loads, has a turd by same title and stock photos of 'collegiate' crapolade, i did not read further )
11:00 mircea_popescu but yes, the statement is correct. to restate : 1. padding is defined as a function F (x, y) with x, y and F ∈ N such that 2. F is defined for all (x, y) pairs and that 3. given any set of boolean functions Ki(x) along with their values no Kj(y) can be constructed so their values are known besides K0(y) = true for K0(a) = 1 if a=y and 0 if a!=y and 4. given any set of boolean functions Ki(y) along with their values no Kj(x)
11:00 mircea_popescu can be constructed so their values are known besides K0(x) = true for K0(a) = 1 if a=x and 0 if a!=x.
11:00 mircea_popescu importantly - there is no need for the payload and the padding to be distinguishable.
11:00 mircea_popescu so the statement should be symmetrical.
11:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's nice, it 404'd before!
11:02 asciilifeform it is an absolute fail for payload and padding to live in separate and known-to-enemy bitfields, yes
11:02 mircea_popescu more than that : there can't be conceptual difference between number x and number y.
11:02 mircea_popescu the padding pads the message just as the message pads the padding.
11:03 asciilifeform aha
11:03 deedbot http://trilema.com/2016/who-pops-the-largest-pop/ << Trilema - Who pops the largest pop ?
11:04 asciilifeform also betcha this problem could be reduced to shannon's noisy channel.
11:05 mircea_popescu hm
11:05 asciilifeform (it also has entirely separate component that is rivest's 'all or nothing transform')
11:05 asciilifeform i.e. problem is really two problems.
11:06 mircea_popescu anyway, i'm entirely not up to speed to this, but there actually exists this field in math, of "boolean function sets"
11:06 mircea_popescu they more or less udnerstand they're a formalisation of what the more numerate philosophers call the theory of knowledge.

11:43 gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: yes.
11:43 gabriel_laddel I don't know what it is with the people here, but they're all fucking idiots.
11:43 mircea_popescu wow check that out, evne in cali
11:47 gabriel_laddel I left out the key part of that story - they released the fumes indoors, in a building the offices they were occupying.
11:47 gabriel_laddel *in a building connected to
11:49 mircea_popescu what fumes ?
11:50 gabriel_laddel Am not sure. Saw the synth running with broken fume hood, a cracked window and gtfo.
11:51 mircea_popescu what, like a peptide synth ?
11:51 mircea_popescu good lord, carcinogenics etc are quite possible.
11:51 gabriel_laddel I did sign an NDA, so I'm not going to get into the details of what exactly we were cooking. But yes, it was most certainly toxic.

12:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally that nonsense is only superficially related to snowden. in practice it is an extension of the "artificial intelligence" used in "spam detection", especially as the doomed but desperate attempt at websites to fight the republican bots.
12:47 mircea_popescu the other expansion of that is of course the whole "mechanical fakenews detection"
12:48 mircea_popescu basically, the ~one hope of the imperial technologistic church of some sort of practical results is a peculiar form of ai. they're doubling down on it exactly in the manner usg doubled down on "alternative fuels".
12:48 mircea_popescu they will suffer the same fate, too, but until he is killed the death convict still lives like any other.

12:49 mircea_popescu quite an ancient dream yes
12:49 asciilifeform hence ethertardium etc.

12:51 asciilifeform the real megabux are, apparently, not even in 'data leakage prevention', as the earlier crackpottery is known, but in the yet (afaik) nameless ~detection of the turned~
12:51 asciilifeform that is, automated probing for sudden curiosity, or evidence of ideological unreliability of whatever origin.
12:52 mircea_popescu it's in the more general form "detection of edges". they want to identify cars, and go winning strategies, and people who don't like them and everything else.
12:52 mircea_popescu and they expect to do it by pouring lots of gb in very trivial neural/expert systems.
12:53 asciilifeform quite likely there is an eight-figure golden toilet contract right at this very moment to attempt to roster, e.g., ts clearance holders who show symptoms of having used bitcoin. and the like.
12:53 mircea_popescu aha.
12:53 mircea_popescu some comments mp made here last year sent some cold shivers.
12:53 asciilifeform (why not house'em in шарашкаs and be done with it, one might ask)
12:53 mircea_popescu structural difference, alf.
12:54 mircea_popescu "why would girl go to all thetrouble of pretending on facebook when she could just walk up to every guy in sight and go "hey, wanna feel my tits ?"
12:54 mircea_popescu the criterion is not "optimal efficiency", but "optimal efficiency in the paradigm space".
12:54 mircea_popescu they're... not that kind of girl.
12:54 asciilifeform afaik the structural diff is that usa traditionally relied on 'carrots' for the seekrit folx, more than 'sticks'
12:54 asciilifeform but the carrots begin to run out.
12:54 mircea_popescu historical accident be what it may, it can't really be said it constitutes a proper cause.
12:55 mircea_popescu ie, it is because of this, but not for this reason.
12:56 mircea_popescu the funny thing is that the approach is trivially defeated in practice. they're relying on a ~fixed~, unchanging enemy. which naivite in the manner of 3yos and their modelling of environment geometries was previously touched upon.
12:56 mircea_popescu but it's why the two week war isn't done after thirteen.
12:58 asciilifeform usg has become such a loathesome and monstrous thing, that there is no fixed set of 'enemy', every earthworm in every step of ground it steps on, becomes enemy
12:59 mircea_popescu anyway, the fate of the socialist empire in its eternal historical cyclicity is fascinating. so - nazis put everything on large tanks ; and failed. but then soviets put everything on a particular notion of industrialization (steel-per-capita industrialization, so to speak) and... failed. so the one socialist empire left standing is putting it all on "ai". and...
12:59 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i recall this being said here years ago aha.
13:00 mircea_popescu it was also said cca 1800s, it read like "si de-aceea tot ce misca-n tara asta, riul, ramul imi e prieten numai mie, iara tie - dusman ti-este."
13:00 mircea_popescu it's what "totalitarian" means, after all - everyone is the enemy.

13:01 mircea_popescu it's not even some obscure poetic license. basic vocabulary.
13:01 asciilifeform well yes
13:05 mircea_popescu anyway, i suspect on the face, "the difference between stupid 5k cell brains and smart 5k cell brains is in the yottabytes they looked at" is almost persuasive.
13:05 mircea_popescu it certainly is MADE to be persuasive for the sort of minds coming out of ivy league "colleges"

13:08 mircea_popescu (and "death" here means a rather complex thing.)
13:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: we had thread about musculature of pan troglodytes, where many fewer cells in the muscle than a man's, but he can tear the man in half. so even for an ordinary mechanical 'strength', counting mass is nonsense.
13:10 mircea_popescu myeah.
13:11 asciilifeform nobody thinks of weighing, e.g., 386 vs pentium to learn which one bangs moar for the buck
13:11 mircea_popescu im sure some arabs did it.
13:11 asciilifeform or let's why not weigh james watt's steam engine vs modern diesel and say same thing.
13:11 asciilifeform moar!
13:11 mircea_popescu nevertheless - the argument as to neuron count is not directly mass ; it is parts. one DOES compare transistor counts.
13:12 asciilifeform even then
13:12 mircea_popescu sure.
13:12 asciilifeform rather like comparing 'lines of code'
13:12 asciilifeform (winblowz - wins!1!! forever!!1)
13:12 mircea_popescu more like comparing "ast nodes". not the best and not the worst measure of complexity.
13:13 asciilifeform they are, to borrow from dijkstra, 'cost, not revenue, no matter how many people insist on writing them down on the wrong side of the ledger'
13:13 mircea_popescu heh.
13:13 asciilifeform complexity -- is a cost. that it sometimes also brings something in return, is incidental.
13:13 mircea_popescu the notion that loc = revenue is not unlike the notion that fucking is something you wanna do. it's work, let the girl work for it!
13:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the 'loc == revenue' is simply this century's version of chinese/su 'moar steel, revenue!'

13:23 asciilifeform to briefly revisit earlier thread, i found an old piece by shoup that utterly demolishes the oaep nonsense. (unfortunately pdfized, and not convertible meaningfully.)
13:23 asciilifeform in exactly the way i expected it would fall down on serious examination
13:23 mircea_popescu prolly worth hand-translating
13:23 mircea_popescu so you can be you know, downvoted on hacker fake news.
13:23 asciilifeform (proved that there necessarily exists a hash boojum , for any given scheme that includes any hash of whatever kind, that makes the algo fall down.)
13:24 asciilifeform y'know, sappers in popular imagination (and sometimes in life) actually clear mines, but just as often simply put little flat into the earth.
13:24 asciilifeform 'here -- mines.'
13:24 asciilifeform so here it is. flag.
13:25 asciilifeform *flag into
13:26 asciilifeform this is discussed publicly even less often than the pseudoscientific nonsense of block and stream ciphers, but: hashes are necessarily voodoo. elementarily, by counting argument (input:output sets are not 1:1).
13:27 asciilifeform and the hashes popularly in use are optimized for strictly one thing -- (perceived!) collision resistance
13:27 asciilifeform and certainly not for other, orthogonal (or even, possibly, contradictory!) properties such as non-leakage and non-structurization
13:27 asciilifeform this came up in the rng whitening thread, but bears mentioning now and again
13:28 asciilifeform (for instance, it may well be the case that, e.g., sha2, or keccak, leak, say, the parity of the incoming bitstring into the hash. or some other property.)
13:29 asciilifeform and this would not count against their collision resistance, which was the only property actually asked for by the designer.
13:29 asciilifeform (whether 'collision resistance' of any hash is a matter of demonstrable physical reality, or of imagination, is wholly separate subject)
13:31 asciilifeform the rifle MAY make an acceptable boar oar. but if it does, it will be purely by accident.

18:05 Framedragger s/rereading/reading/
18:05 mircea_popescu Framedragger should be noted that i was a lot more optimistic about open source in 2014.
18:06 Framedragger certainly noted! assumed as much :) includes increased pessimism for funding OS projects (such as openbsd) etc i guess...
18:07 mircea_popescu anyway, the principle espoused is sound - you want a client because you want to control the software ; the application involved however who knows,.
18:08 mircea_popescu Framedragger the problem isn't "founding os projects" but quite orthogonal to that : ustards have a significant mental problem whereby they imagine they will separate funding and activity. the existence of a so called "foundation" is the usual macula of this sort of idiocy, much like chancre is the mark of syphilis.
