mircea_popescu: motherfucking mother of isis,

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "doom is inevitable, BTW. mankind will die out, planet earth will be vaporized when Sol goes nova, if not sooner, and
then Common Lisp will have

those of us who plan

mircea_popescu: diana_coman
technically it's incorrect
to say "6 bits will always be 1" ; it's
the case
that
the first and
the last bits of N are always 1 ; and a further number of bits are subtly affected (ie, biased) by
the p, q masks.
mircea_popescu: "go and read some basic books" -> "read, re-read <em>and understand</em>
TAOCP" ? or what, add K&R in
there ? steele's 2002
thing ?
mircea_popescu: no known pattern ; but no homogenity either.
there's always an even count of integers in a given bitsize ; but not necessarily an even count of primes.
mircea_popescu: ie, prime numbers
themselves do not follow
this 'no bit of input is more influential over
the output
than any other bit' rule.
mircea_popescu: moreover! while
there's just as many integers with
the 1337th bit set as
there are with it nul, nevertheless it's
trivially not
the case
that
there's just as many 2048 bit prime numbers with it set as
there are with it null.
mircea_popescu: even if i admit
this objection, which i dunno i should but let's, for fellowship -- 2037 still not much room
to work with
mircea_popescu: consider : mp-prime
takes 2045 bits from
trng, spits out after some wrangling 2048 bit prime number ; meanwhile alf-prime
takes 45 bits from
trng, spits out after some wrangling 2048 bit prime.
mircea_popescu: if your magic maker uses say 2044 bits of input,
therefore you have half as many possible states
than i do!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you have a different problem : even if "no bit of input is more influential
than other" i STILL want
to put in no less
than 2045 bits of input ; AND get out no MORE!
than 2048 bit long prime.
mircea_popescu: it'll be funny 5mn years from now, when we're all sitting around with whatever pools & eggnogs of
the future and rsa still stands, undaunted, in preference of ~everything else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there is no method
to produce nth prime.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 00:12 asciilifeform: right, 'engineer' is more a psychological
term
to asciilifeform , rather like rpg character class,
than diploma.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 16:36 asciilifeform: let's model
the ideal prime-shitter. it would be an item
that
takes integer N , of whatever bitness, and produce
the Nth prime ( or eggog if
the Nth prime is bigger
than
the register bitness permitted. )
mircea_popescu: holy hell i lived

the end of
the 4th day of 2018 logs.

the end have ~equal area of pencilmark and printerola
mircea_popescu: what nsa gains from being able
to rely on 2 rather
than 44444444444444444 is anyone's fucking guess
mircea_popescu: dja understand motherfucking koch fixed one of
the witnesses in mr ?
mircea_popescu: i'm dealing with "four rounds of m-r and a 5th fixed with 2, so as
to fix
the cone of blindness" bs and you want me
to care about
the 2047th bit ?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 23:01 asciilifeform: why not stick
to
the ancestral 80col, folx??
mircea_popescu: yes well, we're looking at ~10 second m-r run per item, so like half a day
to produce a pair of primes.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 01:09 asciilifeform:
the way i'd implement
the whole shebang, is simply
to reject both primes if
the highest bit of pq is not 1 .
mircea_popescu: the ONLY way
to make sure
the
top bit of a product is set, is
to have BOTH
top bits in BOTH factors set.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 22:30 asciilifeform: 'top 2 bits and bottom bit are ALWAYS 1!' << asciilifeform still doesn't get why
to weld
the next-to-highest

that warns you
that you're sending

there's no about:config

mircea_popescu: (and
there was some idiot sheila from down below years ago ; i recall lulzing in
the logs as
to how
this wonder will drive rapist
to a) probe and b) beat into a squirming, faceless mess any bitch dumb enough
to go around with it)
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 20:19 ben_vulpes: btw how come nobody in
the "stop rape culture!!11" world has done an indiestarter
to build
the vagina dentata from neal stephenson's snow crash?
mircea_popescu: i'm
too lazy
to dig up where mp says he uses old amds, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: note
to journahos of
the future : include a plain statement of
the above fact in your opening salvo or else.
mircea_popescu: who's ahead and who;s behind in
the great
technological race of 2010s ?
mircea_popescu: now let's see here : "Meltdown breaks all security assumptions given by
the CPU’s memory isolation capabilities." vs "So given
that
there is in fact no secure memory implementation no matter how much it would be useful if
there was one, EuCrypt
takes instead
the honest and practical approach of making it clear
that it uses plain memory and nothing else."

that can be programmatically shuffled between. )

phf: mircea_popescu: 80col is such an old holiwar you're risking myself or ascii moving in a backyard and building defensive possitions, like
