mircea_popescu: meanwhile 255 * 255 does not overflow ; you know this because 8 + 8 is not
< 16.
mircea_popescu: for convenience, consider 16 bit registers : 8245×8 = 65960 which overflows. you know this because 0010000000110101 x 0000000000001000 ie 2 + 12 = 14 which is
< 16.
mircea_popescu: if two numbers of lengths l1 and l2, with l1 and l2
< N are multiplied, and the result is less than l1+l2 bits long, then it has overflown.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way, two N-bit items muliplied so they yield a M bit result, where M
< N, overflowed the buffer.
mircea_popescu: "In its early years the Group produced a few carefully researched papers, which the Conservative Party really had to take notice of because no-one else in the Party gave the impression of doing any thinking at all."

mircea_popescu: "Instead, the effort that could have been spent on securing the system was spent on public relations. The firm claimed that the attack could work only on our own copy of Fortress (in fact, it could work with any copy at all because it deduced the key from the data on the disk)."
<< from kochanski's (ancient) piece on comedy of commercial encryption software. the shamans still falling into same pits today, of course, as seen
mircea_popescu: "The explicit goal of the service mesh is to move service communication out of the realm of the invisible, implied infrastructure, and into the role of a first-class member of the ecosystemwhere it can be monitored, managed and controlled."

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649659 << the principal problem with this "multivariate regression" bs-chasing is that desirable traits almost never correlate with marginal traits. it may be true that intelligent (more to the point, "successful"-juju) people are ~taller than~ average population. however, the outer edges of tallness will not contain the outer edges of good-juju, and vice-versa. to make the point practical,

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649528 << it is avoidable as a matter of fact. i have by now built an item that is too complex to fit in my head. i call it $harem for convenience, but it's a set of girls who do things on the basis of rules which they were at some point in their girly youth illo tempore been beaten / screamed at for.
