asciilifeform: aaand they take 'paypal' at the market. via ipnoje.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. ~actually~ independent, dun need city man for anyffin, not petrol, not toilet paper, nuffin )☟︎
asciilifeform: last 'independent farmer' in the reich lands, i suspect, died during reign of carter. if not earlier.
asciilifeform: centralized seed distribution from inca palace, wet dream of 5000 yrs of inca.
asciilifeform: ( monsantoization was specifically a refinement of ~that~ )
asciilifeform: point, from lizard pov, is not so much to '+ev project', but to put new nails in the coffin of the independent farmer.
asciilifeform: it has 'level 9000' incaization potential tho. hence the interest in the 2 major inca camps.
asciilifeform: not so big yield when you factor in the petrol (not only for tractor, but for pesticide, herbicide, etc.) mircea_popescu has a mega-piece re subj.
asciilifeform: ( d00d was a mega-believer in the plant and 'let's use it for errything' )
asciilifeform: ( usg seems to have copied just about erry hruschevism, down to the corn thing )
asciilifeform: copied in turn from hruschev's lulzidea
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'nasa' is a bag of lulz, even by usg standards -- entirely a 'whitewash' project for ye olde 'black budget', historically ( when e.g. 'shuttle' worked at all, was used largely to enorbit $maxint-yet-disposable spy cameras )
asciilifeform: ^ phf, amberglint, possibly other 'junkyard wars' folx ^
asciilifeform: if only 1 of a,b is shiftable (i.e. even) that's an unshared factor of 2, and preserves gcd if removed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can shift; so long as you increment counter when you've shifted ~both~ a and b buffers , cuz that's an actual shared power of 2 factor. ( it's what happens in stein )
asciilifeform: hm i distinctly recalled a thread where he agreed to work as eulorist -- or was that a temporary thing
asciilifeform: hm i think i missed a thread..? diana_coman mircea_popescu ain't Mocky the client dev ? why is diana_coman stuck baking client also..?
asciilifeform: the 1st step to adaizing a cpp turd is to remove the cpp threadisms, they will not only not work with ada's sane tasking but actually destroy the guarantees of the latter☟︎
asciilifeform: it's what i'ma do to trb after i solve the mmap thing.
asciilifeform: then you dun need to try an' pry open the internal structure of ada task to somehow fiddle it from inside cpp.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you 'de-thread' the cpp item, you can call its knobs from ada task. is what i meant 'reentrant'.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: admittedly i dun know enuff about your proggy to say whether it is possible to make ada piece 'prime mover'
asciilifeform: why wouldja need to fork in cpp if you have ada tasks ? make the cpp coad reentrant and call it from the tasks
asciilifeform: iirc diana_coman already is quite well-versed in the subj from baking eucrypt
asciilifeform: or, vice-versa, import and fire the necessary cpp knobs from the ada.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. ada knobs that are ordinary procedures and can be fired from the cpp )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: can , but i suspect you'll need glue
asciilifeform: for that matter, i never even was able to learn where it was ( to any moar precision than 'hbomb radius' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phf is 9000x moar genius spy than asciilifeform , evidently -- i tried 9000 ways to sweet-talk dks into 'lemme into that warehouse', summed to 0
asciilifeform: you can't signal it, or do anyffin else useful to it, there
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what wouldja even ~do~ with ada task type from cpp ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc he described it: agreed to go to indiana jones warehouse and manually photograph manuscripts
asciilifeform: 'foolib #3133 worx with barlib #4331 last we knew' and so on
asciilifeform: and yes they keep 9000 copies of 'same' lib.
asciilifeform: ( does it spawn new anthills ? apparently does. do the ants survive winter ? sadly also apparently yes )
asciilifeform: i dunno how one'd even begin to answer the q of 'whether it works'. what even means 'works' when referring to the anthill.
asciilifeform: and was dead in the water, from tmsr pov, the whole time
asciilifeform: ( e.g. in 2016, i spent >6mo rowing on a loathesomely usgistic slave galley, while in search of new remote )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-06#1885070 << neato. ( asciilifeform also remotes, but asciilifeform's meatwot is economically ~useless naodays, and so asciilifeform lives under eternal damocle's sword of ending up like mocky . )☝︎
asciilifeform: so theoretically can have a steinized daykin ( it remains to be sweated out whether this is moar economical than stein, i'ma get to it today )☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i woke up at night with the following wtf : you can actually make ~any~ gcdtron converge in same steps as stein's, cuz any time the buffer is even, you can shift it right (unshared factor of 2); and then when you add (or subtract) these odds, you get another even ( and can do it again ) etc.
asciilifeform: ( and it's a correctable mistake, but again we can come back to this laters. )
asciilifeform: hey phf, does the left switch on your cst billiard ball seem muffled vs the right ? i can't decide if mine's defective or not, just noticed last night..☟︎
asciilifeform: stupidity, as mircea_popescu pointed out in the old essay, 'has infinite health'
asciilifeform: for all values of 'thems', present, future.
asciilifeform: let'em 'ai' or whatever. haruspicy. necromancy.
asciilifeform: ( in this case, to make enemy have to sweat to simply determine ~what cryptosystem~ particular key is for.. )
asciilifeform: imho yes. actually using 'we have a comp' for sumthing tangible.
asciilifeform: and this is before you even consider that the plaintext itself can be pcode...
asciilifeform: ( of course it also becomes possible to blow out yer own brains by misconstructing a pubkey, but this is a problem that existed before me and will exist after )
asciilifeform: the problem of even beginning to break, becomes , from empty space, exponential.
asciilifeform: i can picture, for instance, that some folx will have a pubkey where 'well, first you gotta decrypt via these 2 rsa keys, and depending on the low 4 bits of the plaintext, the rest is via 1 of these 4 c-s' or the like.
asciilifeform: it took asciilifeform 2y ( 3, if you count the mpi dead ends ) to build ~that~ deathray. and it's just about ready to fire..
asciilifeform: ( suddenly, 'which of these bigints do we need to try and factor, and which are noise' becomes an open human-powered q ! for'em. )
asciilifeform: it'll be quite a riot, i expect, when the problem for enemy of determining what to do with ~an unknown pubkey~ is suddenly np-hard.
asciilifeform: i.e. that 8192-bit cpu mircea_popescu gedankenexperimented.
asciilifeform: at ~that~ juncture it'll be possible to ~hardwarize~ the thing, into the ultimate (per horse's mouth) usg nightmare.
asciilifeform: ideally , one'll be able to implement any crypto scheme without having to rip into the ada; simply by writing pcode.
asciilifeform: correct. ( i'ma include jacobi operator, after thing is flying in the field, even tho none of the currently popular schemes use it, for instance. )
asciilifeform: right. whole affair is 'what's the most general arithmetron that is also a useful rsatron', from my pov.
asciilifeform: i'm carrying out mircea_popescu's orig spec, where 'i want a peh key with my rsa modulus that i carved on the mountain' or how it went.
asciilifeform: ( and at any rate we gotta have trad rsa working 1st, before any such side dishes can be considered )
