Shulte is worth more tactical support than Assmange
One thing Joshua Shulte never did was preen, pose and posture as some sort of ' Cypherpunk Revolutionary ". This alone makes it easier for us to pool our collective intelligence on his behalf in the short term and in the tactical , not long-term strategic, sense. Shultes negatives include, but are not limited to, his secreted covert work and alleged pedophile activity. If you work for a govt and are proved to collect child porn there are limits to what we can do to you, sorry, for you. There's no limits on what we can do to you.
Registered journalist-publishers don't start overt information wars
And that makes them orthogonal to cypherpunk-revolution, especially crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk revolution. " . . . That said, the Court concludes that the information Defendant seeks to admit — or some version thereof — may be relevant and admissible for another purpose: to rebut the Government’s argument that he intended to start an “information war.” Gov.’s Mem. 38. That is, although Defendant’s motive and intent are not elements of the offense with which he is charged, the Government may open the door to evidence of the sort that Defendant seeks to offer if it argues that Defendant was motivated by a desire to start an “information war” with the United States. If it does, the fact that Defendant was privy to other highly classified information — or even more highly classified information — and did not leak it would tend to rebut the Case . . .

Catch 22 - previously public information may also be classified under USG law https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22036134-220524-schulte-cipa-ruling . In sum, the fact that information was previously public does not mean, as a matter of law, that it is not NDI. By the same token, the fact that the information was previously public is relevant to whether it is NDI, even if it was made public by someone other than the Government. Accordingly, the Government’s motion to preclude Defendant from offering evidence that the information he is charged with leaking from the MCC was already public is DENIED. That is not to say that Defendant can offer the specific evidence that he has noticed, let alone in its current form. But that is a CIPA Section 6(c) question and a question for another day. 2. Evidence of Classified Information Defendant Knows Next, Defendant provides notice that, should he take the stand, he intends to testify that, by virtue of his employment at the CIA, he was privy to specific, highly sensitive classified information.

Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
we could use the utility to find a really heavy string! what's is the most common character? then, what is the most common 2-character string? i'll try it!
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
just looking to improve my coding, here
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
it seems like useful templates might be full of heuristics of utility. how many characters important, how far away. to generate templates. one could measure that utility, try to consolidate the heuristic, into something like repetitions * constant character count.
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
this seems like a fun puzzle because it's really hard. thinking of something small enough to hold in this state of mind, that could help code. really small. one idea is, maybe fix bugs by matching templates. could that be made small? like if i made a typo, lots of print() and one print(], wrong closing brace. it could match a template by all but 1 character. then, it's easy to point out the mismatching character. could templates be made from a single document with short concise code? finding repetitions of strings?
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
code has control flow constructs and functions and these are made of templates. templates are powerful. the goal is to draw a triangle.

Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
maybe it's okay! i think i read a little part of ai book when i was like 8 or 17 something. there are a lot of heuristics that do things on their own but aren't smart unless you really use them like crazy. imagining this: - try steps out until metric gets close - repeat so long as getting closer - label that it needs tasks that are good for repeating something that makes you get closer
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
maybe it would be helpful for it to select steps. i'm a little worried around it. it's easy to implement something that would fail at an unexpected task. maybe that's okay.
Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
What a successful goal process! It met one goal, after a little work! I'm noticing two really core points around goals: - need to select steps that help get closer - need to repeatedly do them until goal is met

Re: [ot][spam][crazy][crazy][spam]
since it's all about doing things i guess it makes a little sense to try to make a goal program. it's hard to hold goals. how to meet a goal: select steps that produce a state where it is present, and pursue them. how can we simplify to very simple and small? say we had a number, a variable, and wanted to make the variable reach something. maybe steps available are adding and smallifying. the system could already know that adding is good if it's greater, and smallifying is good if it's less. this seems reasonable.

It is no surprise if they are also employed in other anonymity, privacy, security, and software and hardware freedom projects. It is of interest how much, where, and to what ends.

Hackaday: Knowing Your Place: The Implications Of GPS Spoofing And Jamming. https://hackaday.com/2022/05/23/knowing-your-place-the-implications-of-gps-spoofing-and-jamming/ "Artificial satellites have transformed the world in many ways, not only in terms of relaying communication and for observing the planet in ways previously inconceivable, but also to enable incredibly accurate navigation. A so-called global navigation satellite system (GNSS), or satnav for short, uses the data provided by satellites to pin-point a position on the surface to within a few centimeters." "The US Global Positioning System (GPS) was the first GNSS, with satellites launched in 1978, albeit only available to civilians in a degraded accuracy mode. When full accuracy GPS was released to the public under the 1990s Clinton administration, it caused a surge in the uptake of satnav by the public, from fishing boats and merchant ships, to today’s navigation using nothing but a smartphone with its built-in GPS receiver." "Even so, there is a dark side to GNSS that expands beyond its military usage of guiding cruise missiles and kin to their target. This comes in the form of jamming and spoofing GNSS signals, which can hide illicit activities from monitoring systems and disrupt or disable an enemy’s systems during a war. Along with other forms of electronic warfare (EW), disrupting GNSS signals form a potent weapon that can render the most modern avionics and drone technology useless." "With this in mind, how significant is the threat from GNSS spoofing in particular, and what are the ways that this can be detected or counteracted?"

Re: Dishonest Tor relay math question - tor-talk is to lazy
"Communication in a world of pervasive surveillance ... 2.8.1 – Sabotage ... The NSA estimated in 2011 that they performed around one thousand attacks against VPN sessions per hour and NSA projected it would soon be performing one hundred thousand such attacks in parallel per hour. It is reasonable to assume that this number is significantly higher after more than a decade." Tor is not immune to such things... attacks and advances in attacks. Yet everyone still refuses to talk about that, and Tor Project Incorporated and it$ minion$ $till apologize$ for it$elve$ and refuse$ to acknowledge that "Tor Stinks -- NSA" Tor's users are at risk because of Tor Project Incorporated and its minions, and its money and money sources, among other things. And Tor now officially advertises offering secret paychecks to its minions, and still masks its players. As some say, more better to hide the corruption and protect its corrupt actors and hide chains of employer and funder relationships. Regardless, so much for their bogus meme of transparency and openness. Tor Project literally hired a CIA agent, and at least one of its Board of Directors had ongoing carnal relationship with at least one NSA agent. For real. And Tor Project Inc censorbans all people who mention any of these things (and more) off all their comms forums. And remember that FOIA request from the free independent tor user community that got ignored and craftily closed. Seems Tor Project Incorporated has some big things to hide. "Of the three, OpenVPN is a protocol without a basis in formal specifications or peer review except where TLS or DTLS is concerned. IPsec is a pro- tocol built by committee as part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Re- quest for Comments (RFC) process. Both are understood to have been weakened [ins14b,BBG13,PLS13,Lar13] 2 by the NSA intentionally. The techniques are not entirely understood but it appears that the NSA uses every option available when they deem it necessary. What they deem necessary is not always what is expected. This includes sending people to standardization meetings to sabotage the security standards as well as sending people into companies to perform so-called cryptographic enabling; this is how NSA euphemistically describes sabotaging cryptography or security. It is difficult to overstate the level of subterfuge understood to be attributed to the NSA, both by external investigations and by their own internal documents. The normally classified and thankfully leaked black budget [GM13a] shows hundreds of millions of dollars budgeted and specific successes against specific U.S. domestic and international companies."
