ascii_field: do you know where usg's 'p' lives ?
ascii_field: lulzily related, i was recently having a quiet laugh at usg's version of 'p'
asciilifeform: 'p' (draft title) - for the old pgp. ☟︎

mod6: so above there they do a swap of 'p' & 'q' to make p the smaller of the two. then they take the nlimbs of 'p' twice to allocate the space for each t1 & t2. which i thought was kinda strange.

asciilifeform: i do not think there is a better film version of the ru 1990s that 'p'.
asciilifeform: suddenly 'p' (or 'q') is composite.
asciilifeform: consider the trivial case of RSA with lowest bit in 'p' or 'q' (pubkey = PxQ) flipped.
