mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, there's nothing you can say to keloid. it's made out of cells and cells are deterministic mechanisms. societal scar tissue however is the result of ~deliberate choice~ that is then just as deliberately hidden from the self ; not of some sort of complicated protein signalling.
mircea_popescu: the reason i wrote
http://trilema.com/2018/patriarchy-vs-matriarchy-the-straight-dope/ wasn't that i was bored that day ; or that i don't like people. for as long as you continue thinking your value is established by some woman, you will continue having the same ~type~ of problems. they can be colored any way you like, and lives can readily be spent in that coloring exercise ; but as far as substance is concerned they will be
mircea_popescu: nor am i going to congratulate mocky on his downstream spawncount ; and also because i like him. spawning is a biological function of women, as remarkable as taking a meal, and the day ima start congratulating people for drawing breath is the day i have no further need of myself.
mircea_popescu: yes, obviously your apparent "escape to russia" was just deeper capture ; yes obviously your attempt at corrupting teh fiat backfired. things will continue to work this way for you for as long as you continue acting like a woman, because biology works a certain way and everything else is driven by that and that's what it is.
mircea_popescu: phf i'm not going to pass in silence over the obvious "check it out, there's no women in phf's fambly, he's taking care of the last one by own hand" comment ~because~ i like you.
mircea_popescu: Mocky a lot of the femstate's "solutions" to problems consist of this sorta acceptance bs. about as unsuprising as biology can ever get.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i know it seems like a waste of time on the spot, the first time.
mircea_popescu: it is ~very~ useful to explain how things like this blew up, in writing. both for others today and for you tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: closer to southern france resistence to growing crown than anything in the derp vein, but why not./
mircea_popescu: same exact reason preteen boys don't discuss their "sexual conquests" within hearshot of adult woman.
mircea_popescu: what fucking them. the ~pretense~ is entirely based on cheapness. no cheapness, no pretense.
mircea_popescu: libraries, definitionally, contain functionality some end users won't use.
mircea_popescu: just note that eucrypt having rsa does in no manner hurt your serpent-only-phonecrypto putative app ; just like it having serpent dun hurt a "this is my pgp implementation" usecase, and so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nothing wrong with that ffa design choice, if you like it ; if you don't anymore, also not the end of world.
mircea_popescu: since you're doing this "general purpose", there's no crime if user can call montgomery.
mircea_popescu: and i meant include barret ~as an optional~, like a callable function.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you barfed ; but i barfed because it's fucking stupid, you lose a lot of variety in your primes for no gains worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it how you expect to multiply some value by a (product of primes +1) and not get an even number.
mircea_popescu: (whole thing already comes with a "nozero" rule anyways)
mircea_popescu: nobody is going to hate your ffa if it includes montgomery, with the proper warning.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: otherwise, i guess daykin gcd can exist as a class, native or extended, w/e.
mircea_popescu: i thought this entire discussion was a) specifiucally as to daykin (not to stein) and b) specifically as to primegen for rsa secret key baking, (not "in general math functions).
mircea_popescu: cuz im not going to have non-2048 factors in my 4086 bit rsa key, wtf.
mircea_popescu: the "unknown integer" being tested IS ALWAYS 2048 BITS.
mircea_popescu: possibly. that's not clear, nor was it ever discussed before now. it MAY BE that a dozen calls of gdc-daykin(x, daykin-primorial) are in fact cheaper than 1 call to gdc-stein(x, primorial(currentwidth)).
mircea_popescu: the whole discussion was re daykin, specifically that for our particular usecase, it's not the end of the world that it wants "napkin numbers" : we enjopy the luxury whereby we can construct them to measure.
mircea_popescu: since your best gcd algo seems to be one that expects x and 6 be same bitness, there's nothing wrong with making a buncha prefab such products-of-primes.
mircea_popescu: dude, why is every little thing such a fucking uphill struggle with you. suppose you wish to see if x is coprime with the number 2. you run gcd (x, 2). suppose then you wish to also see if x is coprime with the number 3. you run gcd(x, 3). all this is EXACTLY EQUIVALENT to running gcd (x, 6) : if this returns 2, it was not coprime with 2, and if it returns 3, it was not coprime with 3.
mircea_popescu: (i suppose if indeed you want to test MORE small primes than fit in one 8kb, you'll have a number of such composite numbers to test about. however many it takes. and yes, you can clever the knobs so they're not in strict order so that the composites are each exactly 8192 bits)
mircea_popescu: it's a one-shot thing, and it eliminates however many dozen small primes.
mircea_popescu: you simply gcd each candidate prime with the same "product of primes in order up to bitness"
mircea_popescu: had you instead used 32 bit rsa, you'd have had two 16 bit primes you'd have daykin'd with 2×3×4×7×11×13 aka 0x5DD8
mircea_popescu: consider the simpler case of 16 bit rsa. you thus make two 8 bit primes. you daykin each of these with 210, which happens to be the 8 bit primorial, aka 11010010.
mircea_popescu: ~that~ is one of the exceedingly rare justifications for magic number. "what is this 2048 bit strange ?" "the product of the first as-many-primes-as-their-product-fits-in-2048-bits"
mircea_popescu: test as many small primes as their product is as many digits as your proposed large prime and be done with it, daykin will work ok for same bitness
mircea_popescu: one simple solution would be to just keep digit-appropriate primorial.
mircea_popescu: works well for the example he gave -- numbers with same digit count.
mircea_popescu: lobbes on the positive side, at least now you know that should that occur, it won't occur in 2019.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, give the phone thing a year or two, whynot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no idea re esthlos . maths dude who did summaries, then fell behind, then caught on and wanted to put more effort into it, then fell behind again. maybe he re-emerges.
mircea_popescu: might want to read through it / see it finished first / we. i'm not squeezing it.
mircea_popescu: i imagine she's going to bake a test as time permits. it's not a top priority item but then again she moves fast.
mircea_popescu: wth, most everyone travels, you go visit the surrounding places now and again, takes care of the whole problem for you.
mircea_popescu: well if usg cancels it you're then a refugee. they love those in yurp lol
mircea_popescu: you know for a fact hanbot lived there for what, better part of a decade. wtf 800k passport.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can cross border on your current one also lol wtf.
mircea_popescu: so if anything, not having one makes you MORE romanian, not less.
mircea_popescu: specifically, a 5 to 10k% increase in deliverables over what you currently achieve.
mircea_popescu: farming is not an economic activity in europe ; nor has it for half a century or more.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman amusingly, spending 50k or w/e it costs to get an old farm (including barn) in whatever, fucking alba county, go walking on the hillsides with the cowsies, would take him to his paradise, yet there he toils.
mircea_popescu: put some meat on the bones of his "check it out, speed!" thing, as a courtesy if nothing else.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman nothing wrong with ~testing~ it at some point, anyway.
mircea_popescu: what we call mpi is closer to gmp than what the retard crowd does anyway.
mircea_popescu: the more toys to play with, the more playing to be had
