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: 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.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721485 << alternatively, can *construct* numbers which don't have very small factors. pick
a nonzero remainder mod 2, mod 3, ... mod largest-prime-fit-in-your-primorial and find what number of primorial is congruent to it using chinese remainder theorem
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: 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: 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: 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: asciilifeform yeah, give the phone thing
a year or two, whynot.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884616 << imo, this is
a perfect summary of my current state. I walked through the tmsr doors in ~2014 at roughly epsilon and 'learned as I went'. As
a result, many of my projects here were built on unsteady scaffolding, and I have been slowly going back and pouring in proper foundations where needed

a very fine job with the former ; i'm nonplussed with recently discovering just how broken the latter's mp-wp offering actually was ; moreover it seems to me from
a distance pizarro's still financially and customer-wise entirely dependent, ie as close to failure as you can possibly get without spelling it out.

diana_coman: well, I hardly see how you can *stop* people from using it directly or why exactly; and the endian + div0 don't sound like
a huge layer anyway
diana_coman: asciilifeform, first I do need to finish getting the ffa in, so that will still take quite
a while; other than that, it's more
a matter of "as time permits" and as mircea_popescu says it's not top priority; that being said yes, I'd like to do it and see some timings and comparison for myself
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: 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: specifically,
a 5 to 10k% increase in deliverables over what you currently achieve.
a111: Logged on 2014-10-15 19:58 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to follow that model. qntra isn't
a seller of 0-dioxin, 1814-equivalent tomatoes, but
a greengrocer where they don't hire retards and don't mix shit in the fruit sala.d
mircea_popescu: farming is not an economic activity in europe ; nor has it for half
a century or more.
mircea_popescu: put some meat on the bones of his "check it out, speed!" thing, as
a courtesy if nothing else.
mircea_popescu: esp because correctly written, with tests etc. so can meaningfully do ffa-eucrypt vs mpi-eucrypt as
a benchmark.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it doesn't ; nor will it, because what truly brings serpent in is the ~space~ not the time problem. ie, because of padding, straight rsa doubles message bulk, which is
a major problem for online game.
mircea_popescu: right.
a mpi-eucrypt vs ffa-eucrypt head-on will be interesting to see.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-04 15:14 mircea_popescu: it's not exactly clear to me yet what the situation is. it's altogether possible postgres may be rescuable through
a process similar to how "peculiar linux candidate packaging sterilized into cuntoo".
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have
a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside
a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-12 19:41 BingoBoingo: ^ Any awk ninjas want to try this on
a few forums?
mircea_popescu: the ~algo~ tho. not specifically for v trees, but it strikes me there doesn't exist currently
a bin differ ~at all~.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: which leaves phf ; who's doing an excellent job maintaining very elegant and well done extant infrastructure, and
a very terrifyingly poor job at communicating himself.
mircea_popescu: ave1 is, i suspect, silently working on gnating things -- which is fine and valuable except for the silently part. there's this tendency of lone wolf scientist to not properly report failures, out of an imaginary saving of time and resources this permits. it must be said that NOTHING could be further from the truth, nothing at all -- there's more to be gained from

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked is evidently trying, hence feedbot, but evidently having trouble reconciling saeculum, which i'm going to let stand as such on the grounds that he's new -- even though experience shows that as
a dubious idea [for all the eg one could possibly need witness how asciilifeform 's still in the swamp, so many years later].
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron seems lost in
a bucolic paradise slash midwestern parochial nightmare of his own choosing. nothing wrong with this either, and unless i hear any better that will be the conclusion.
mircea_popescu: other than maintaining the deedbot infrastructure, trinque is working on cuntoo, which is
a rather large piece and it taking
a [difficult to predict] while is not by itself the end of the world ; but i'd like to see some roadmapping, tentative and subject to change as it may be, lest the effort degenerates.
mircea_popescu: hanbot is working on the mp-wp tree, and manages as she long has
a rather largeish wetworks i'm not going to get into the details of.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman is working for s.mg ; we've recently had this exact talk and revised our plans. originally the idea was to have moved over to cuntoo, and do support work for community-driven effort at
a new client. the latter completely collapsed over the shocking weakness of such community ; the former's at best delayed.
☟︎ diana_coman: fwiw I can't say I saw
a surprise so far in any of the april announcements; at most more of
a difference of degree at times (i.e. the expected direction/action but to
a larger/smaller degree)
mircea_popescu: so : as far as i know, bingoBoingo is working on qntra and on pizarro. he's doing
a very fine job with the former ; i'm nonplussed with recently discovering just how broken the latter's mp-wp offering actually was ; moreover it seems to me from
a distance pizarro's still financially and customer-wise entirely dependent, ie as close to failure as you can possibly get without spelling it out.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: foremost, the lordship is not
a state, but an activity.
mircea_popescu: well, meanwhile it's the 5th day of this fine new year, and it occurs to me it might be
a good idea to discuss some things, lest april coming around this year like any other year be perceived as some kind of subjective surprise, rather than the objective necessity it ever is.
