Wed Feb 26 12:30:20 UTC 2014 <davout> "http://boingboing.net/2014/02/25/choosing-a-secure-password.html schneier misses xkcd's point entirely" <<< yep, someone should teach him about entropy
Mon Feb 24 20:18:19 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> as the hash doesn't carry the entropy iirc.
Mon Feb 24 18:34:16 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> Apocalyptic: http://www.loper-os.org/bad-at-entropy/manmach.html
Mon Feb 24 18:33:56 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> there's a slight difference between stat analysis and entropy measuring, but anyway
Mon Feb 24 18:33:15 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> just impossible to verify entropy quality on tiny samples.
Mon Feb 24 18:29:19 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> asciilifeform, just 8 bytes, I need the best entropy i can reallistically get
Thu Feb 20 01:55:40 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> each string has its own per-character entropy, from epsilon to 8-epsilon
Fri Feb 14 02:36:23 UTC 2014 <herbijudlestoids> soooo basically, everything fighting entropy in any form whatsoever is now analoguous to obama trying to kickstart the economy
Sun Feb 09 22:31:20 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> http://www.loper-os.org/bad-at-entropy/manmach.html moiety try that, see if you can get above 70% or so
Sat Feb 08 21:09:13 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> thus therefore, infinite entropy.
Tue Feb 04 00:40:45 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> well... in fact it DOES get you high quality entropy.
Mon Dec 23 03:18:24 UTC 2013 <KRS|Gotyawallet> ;;tell jurov later just-dice user study completed..interesting results..time is a function of random number chosen, time passing increases entropy, next data gathering, will probably use perl
Sun Dec 22 09:00:07 UTC 2013 <benkay> fuck bitches, get bitcoin. daytrading's for shitheels who can't promote bitcoin into their wallets by driving back the forces of entropy.
Sat Dec 21 00:22:53 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> you still 'lose at entropy' because now you have clear pattern.
Fri Dec 20 23:45:17 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> but in the interest of sanity : obviously radioactive decay is purely entropic. the methods people use to try and extract that entropy however... tsk.
Fri Dec 20 23:42:31 UTC 2013 <BingoBoingo> Has radioactive decay improved its entropy to compete with the Cardano yet?
Thu Dec 12 19:20:49 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> anybody notice how quickly the discussion of 'where the hell do you get entropy on a VPS' began and ended?
Wed Dec 11 22:39:40 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> so in the most recent rng tests for the cardano we now see Entropy = 7.999926 bits per byte.
