mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-17#1715311 << i'm missing something here. did you compare a MULTIPLICATION (as your text actually said, a * b) with an exponentiation ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: 1 * 1 mod 1 takes same time etc
BingoBoingo: * http://trilema.com/2012/the-days-enlightenment/
asciilifeform: for i in 1 .. Dividend'Length * Bitness loop ...
asciilifeform: i.e. 0 * 0 mod 0 must result in the execution of exactly the same sequence of cpu cycles, as maxwidthint * maxwidthint mod maxwidthint .
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform goes 'wtf, THIS crackpottery of mine - you lot find interesting, but the stubborn boojum that keeps 'p' from happening, not interesting somehow ' << Everyone has strong opinions on materials
mircea_popescu: you understand, a mod x + b mod x + c mod x may be > x, but never by more than op count * x.
mircea_popescu: Sep 12 14:43:18 * Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

PeterL: somehow I didn't even think of that, I never use the numpad *!
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711925 << how do you type * without hitting the shift key? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: * pete_dushenski is now known as Guest66666 >> heh
mircea_popescu: which is why * is broken, because it connotes globbing, and globbing is stupid bullshit, "transform this thing i said into this other thing i meant"
asciilifeform: likewise it is screamingly idiotic when '* behaves exactly like find . -name '*.arsefuck' | xargs unless you have >9000 files then fuckyou.jpg'
a111: Logged on 2017-09-10 20:14 trinque: mircea_popescu: it is, just thread leapt from meaning of * to omg my keyboard?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711933 << keyboard meant as proxy for thoughtalphabet. i.e. if i do something 500 times on a typical day, it had better look like * and not like find . -name '*.arsefuck' | xargs etc. ☝︎
trinque: mircea_popescu: it is, just thread leapt from meaning of * to omg my keyboard? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i dun see why * should not be an exact shorthand for above.
asciilifeform: so how would mircea_popescu formulate tar cvfz foo.tar.gz bar/baz/*.txt ?
mircea_popescu: IF you gotta say * you know you're in barbarbar land.
mircea_popescu: thgat's the fucking point. | is wel lformed. * is malformed.
mircea_popescu: because there's no latin character named *. it's an utfism.
mircea_popescu: the hallucination that * is well formed is a problem.
spyked: asciilifeform yeah, but "rm -rf *" doesn't mean "all files reachable in this path". it means "expand * to arbitrarily long sausage, then pass result as args to rm".
asciilifeform: i dun get it. both *.txt, *foo*bar, and * , are well-formed statements with unambiguous correct answer in any possible case.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because * as a semantic notation is part of a class that goes a*.txt too.
asciilifeform: so i did the usual tar cvfz foo.tar.gz bar/baz/*.txt and ended up with 'too many...'
mircea_popescu: * should be implicit ; and it can't not be implicit in working world.
mircea_popescu: IF * is meaningful, you're in a broken context.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because it's either a case of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711837 ie sanity or else if * is semantically meani8ngful you're in new jersey. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you do not have the right to write *
asciilifeform: rm -rf * does not have the right to fail.
mircea_popescu: * is not a right motherfucking thing.
asciilifeform: ' * ' should do the right motherfucking thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-10 19:50 spyked: mircea_popescu took the words right from my mouth. find . -name '*.txt' | xargs rm is IMHO elegant enough (decomposes into stream of files and repeated removal). then again, find is another beast on its own

hanbot: * tmsrcat (~tmsrcat@unaffiliated/hanbot/bot/tmsrcat) has joined #trilema-hanbot << yeah it was all my account setup's fault, thanks phf & trinque. hopefully i'ma manage to make something useful out of this.
kanzure: ok. so 1 billion valves * n=100 printheads where n was used for total dna molecule length
kanzure: also need to do multi-pass over same spots btw, about 100 * (steps per base pair addition), where 100 is number of bp or nucleotides (nt)
kanzure: is this the highest of the high performance inkjet? http://global.kyocera.com/news/2012/0306_niku.html it's only like 40 kHz * 2600 nozzles

asciilifeform: e.g. https://qualiacomputing.com/2015/05/22/how-to-secretly-communicate-with-people-on-lsd/ >> 'About 18 months ago I had a really cool idea: What if we could communicate with people who are high on LSD in such a way that sober people can’t understand?* I call this idea psychedelic cryptography (PsyCrypto for short).'
mod6: ok, next: `cd /var/trb/trb54/bitcoin/deps ; cp ~/*.asc .` -- hopefully, in your ~ you only have .asc deeds, and not, say, other stuff...
mod6: copy /var/trb/trb54/bitcoin/deps/*.asc to some other holding tank and let me know when ready.
mircea_popescu: for the record the correct ban format is /mode b+ *!*@91.233.116.245 or such
mircea_popescu: yes, 4 * 10 to go, 4 * 10 to return.
asciilifeform: at any rate user can make his key , e.g., nextprime(rngolade-kept-ondisk) * nextprime(hash(pw)) if he explicitly wants
mircea_popescu: for comparison, a 100 gram tennisball capable of giving a pretty girl a nasty bruise would be going sa 100 km/h and thereby hit for .1 * (100/3.6)^2/2 ~= 40 J over its 0.001 cubic metre space, ie about 40 times more than the jet's "acoustic attack". a 8-gram 9mm round perfectly capable of making a whole new hole hits for 0.008 * 300 ^ 2 / 2 = 360 J over its 20 * 2*4.5*pi = 5.65 * 10^-7 volume, ie about 650`000 times the jet's
mircea_popescu: for the record : a decibel is the log10 of the ratio between a measured sound energy density and 10^-12 J/m^3. consequently the energy of sound at 150 decibels (such as the sonic blast of a jet taking off at 25m, capable of rupturing eardrums) corresponds to an energy density of 10 ^ (150/10) * 10 ^ -12 = 1000 J/m^3.
asciilifeform: * i read
mircea_popescu: you mean, the modulus, p * q ?
