mircea_popescu: cuz
they're all shy and "waht
the FUCK is
this
then" and
the duck's like FUCK YOU MY GRANNY WAS A VELOCIRAPTOR!
mircea_popescu: speaking of cabbage-ate-wolf, yest @bbq had juvenile duck stare down
the shit out of adult pitbulls.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems
the reasonable available goat-and-cabbage pacifier
a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 23:10 mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file
then.
though he prolly wants
the ~config~ file
to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because
there's no such
thing as a
terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my
text in a way
that's aware of his dumb
terminal. and he
thinks
this acceptable, somehow,
that at
the
time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869273 - a config file seems
the better choice, yes; I'll add it
to
the list
to move
the keys
to a config file and update
the
tests
to read from config file;
that should actually meet asciilifeform's requirements
too since
the code will not contain
the >80cols lines (although
the config files will, of course)
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is
their one shot
to buy
tomorrow's. whether
they have
the sense... ceausescu never had
the chance.
mircea_popescu: i clearly recall ceausescu's lament back in
the 70s, "they sell us
today's
tech at high prices, because
they have
tomorrow's lined up. but what can we do?"
mircea_popescu: point being,
there's a LOT
they could do
to be useful, first of all
to
themselves. dja see it ?
mircea_popescu: now, perhaps
this also could be made in such a way as
to data byteness ?
mircea_popescu: let's just say it's playdo cpu, right ? you can cut here and
there and get various basic units working
together.
mircea_popescu: do you see why
the man besieged by rats and
the horse besieged by rats may perhaps make what's called "a couple made in heaven" ?
mircea_popescu: also because confederacy of dunces, perhaps ?
the EXACT SAME usg.blue dunces, actually ?
Mocky: nominally because neighbors claim 'allowed
terrorist donations' but i don't know
the actual why
Mocky: i can't
think of a good why not
mircea_popescu: why does
there not exist a rsa-sized specialist processor widely available now ?
mircea_popescu: right. now, do you see how data-native byteness processor made on 1995s
tech would beat
the shit off inconveniently byted poroessor made yesterday, for
the specific application in question ?
mircea_popescu: now, do you see how
these magic numbers are nothing else, and if producer wants he can make 19, 4435 or whatever bus and register cpus FOR
THE SAME COST ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hence
the whole effort in ffa, which is nothing else and nothing besides a switching harness for 64 bit cpu so it doesn't leak data while switching it for a 8192 native byte.
mircea_popescu: which, because of
the nature of crypto ops in
the first pace, is very fucking finnicky... switching can leak data.
mircea_popescu: and so in order
to rsa on a commercial processor, you gotta do a mountain of switching
Mocky: 64 bit bus and iirc 32 bit registers,
typically
mircea_popescu: well, we use 4096 bit keys,
therefore as asciilifeform well points out,
the native byte of rsa is 8192.
Mocky: I don't know rsa maths well enough
to say
Mocky: oh,
that's what i meant by operand size,
the unit
the processor is woking with
mircea_popescu: i know
thios is unlikely a notion, because
the crud of voip or divx or w/e could seemingly have any bytness. however
think ... displays have 32 bit color byteness... and
mircea_popescu: nah,
that's not it. data, what your processor will work with, also has a NATIVE byte.
Mocky: if a fetch from memory grabs 32 bits, and
the data is 32 bits on
the memory side and
the register side
then you don't need
the switch
mircea_popescu: a yeah,
that's right. you mewan ~the actual~ byte size of
the data. yes ? its native size ?
Mocky: same
thing on
the other end of
the bus
mircea_popescu: oh oh, wait, maybe i misread. "the operand", wtf does
that mean here ?
mircea_popescu: what ELSE would
the register width beneficially match ?
mircea_popescu: if instead registers are 16 bits, you have
to distinguish
two kinds of registers.
mircea_popescu: if your bus pipes in stuff at 32 bits/cycle and your registers are 64 bits, you have
to distinguish
two kinds of cycles.
Mocky: i'm
trying
to see it
mircea_popescu: well no, if
they are different witdths you have
to... switch
Mocky: operands have
to be fetched and results stored along
the bus before and after each processor op
mircea_popescu: do you see why its width would beneifically match
the bus width ?
mircea_popescu: does
this resonate with any familiarity in ye olde phracking and
telco or nothing
there
to resonate with ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a bus in
the basement of
the building you're now, for electricity.
Mocky: I
think I understand but
the more examples
the better
mircea_popescu: do you understand what
the item in question is, given as example ? would like likbez ?
mircea_popescu: what,
the filipino/indonesians/etc are better in
the brain or what ?
mircea_popescu: why don't
they fab chips anyway ? got plenty of sand yes ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 15:44 mircea_popescu: now, a 4096 bit native fpga, specifically for rsa-ing and rsa-likes-ing,
THAT might be very useful, because
there
the s-o-d item is major win.
Mocky: like your computers are shitty but you could remedy
that?
Mocky: what do you mean by
tech
transfer?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 22:38 mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with
their minister of
technology, industry, or whatever
the fuck, explain
to
the secretarial overseer you end up seeing
that
the republic is in principle willing
to do some
tech
transfer help
them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set
the bozo bit on
the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending
to be a country ?
mircea_popescu: i still
think you should
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869171 as a parting shot ; not because i expect anything besides
the "meet mr al-schmukwari at 8am", but because why not let
the remnant of usg.blue congratulate itself on "succeeding" ? let some schmuck "earn" a bonus, what's it
to you or me.
☝︎ Mocky: re bikers, some of
these guys seem so happy
to just *have*
the bike. i have neighbor who fires his up every 3rd day and
twists
the
throttle for 5 minutes while it sits. but maybe it's
to scare all
the cats away
mircea_popescu: ajahjaha check it out, "haymasfuturo" qatar version! jesus
these people.
mircea_popescu: "I guess you could say
they identify as bikers." bwajuaja ok,
this is entertaining lol
mircea_popescu: "I’ve never before had coffee
that good. It actually hurts now
to drink
the instant coffee I have back at my room." << non-us coffee apparently is great generally.
mircea_popescu: odds are we'll find out in
the shape of error reports.
BingoBoingo: until
then I can't even blog my recent conversion
to beach running
BingoBoingo: I keep getting distracted by not quite fixes
that let
the
thing show a dashboard for one page load, as much as I would like it
to be
top of my list it can't
today
BingoBoingo: The situation is it will have
to wait until after Pizarro statement.
mircea_popescu: (5th column,
the virtual memory allocated, is
the point of interest)
a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 23:55 asciilifeform: at some point i'ma get around
to
trimming
the kernel. how many of
these do we actually want ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It was on
the defaults. 2 GB rockchip and while not a
trilema sized blog, bigger
than most on mp-wp
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i'm willing
to bet
there's something grossly misconfigured ; item doesn't have memory issues normally.
mircea_popescu: that can read "80 cols plox what is
this" all it wants, it runs into "this is a key, what are you going
to do about it, use 80 cols keys" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what flipped is
that i'm not about
to build magic numbers into
the s.mg code process.
billymg: and at
this point i'm just
trying
to build my reputation so wouldn't be looking for anything beyond a fair rating
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I never
tried
the linux on it
