asciilifeform: and unlike in schizo patient, crafted with clear political angle.

asciilifeform: unanchored abstractions, like in schizo patient.

asciilifeform: are ~= 'privilegism'

asciilifeform: i am not convinced of there being involvement of 'things' : strings have not even the reality anchor of phlogiston.

asciilifeform: there is no separability of the political.

asciilifeform: ( the string orchestra not only dun give a flying fuck re parsimony, but quite the opposite , complexity cancer deliberately cultured, breeds grantolade for mediocrities )

asciilifeform: the difference is also imho obvious

asciilifeform: at least not one that doesn't bring the machine to its knees.

asciilifeform: d00d was right in his observation that you ~could~ use a normalizing/denormalizing ( though proof is still a first class bitch ) algo, IF you had a secret 1..ffawidth shift. but you don't.

asciilifeform: tldr: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716337 still holds, looks like. ☝︎

asciilifeform: motherfucking line breaks.

asciilifeform: dness shift operations; and ergo all shifts must consist of ffawordness shift ops, as i described in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716343 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: !~later tell apeloyee i studied your algo, it (aside from truly massive cost, that would annihilate savings from newton, or barrett, or just about any other trick) ~still leaks~, because shifting by >wordsize is a fundamentally different op from shifting <wordsize; and the only way for this to not be true is for all shifts to happen as a series of wordsize shifts; and a shift by ffawidth-1 (max shiftness) would then consist of ffawor ☟︎

asciilifeform: y

asciilifeform: but for gb blox -- the stone soup, will somehow materialize and pay, veril

asciilifeform: somehow the fact of ~traditional~ bitcoin not quite paying for its network to fully exist, is not obvious to the plankton

asciilifeform: pinoys finally replaced with actual mechanical shannonizer ?

asciilifeform: 'Without Core sabotaging BTC by artificially imposing the block size limit, bitcoin would be much more widely used today.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716403 << by definition monkey business with instruction timings is ~detectable~. but the other idea is, a proper ffa is very easy to fpgaize/siliconize. ☝︎

asciilifeform brb, meat

asciilifeform: apeloyee: try and rewrite without the 'while' loop

asciilifeform: *prove

asciilifeform: now you gotta normalize, denormalize, and proof that it cannot under any conceivable circumstance fail or take variant time

asciilifeform: even if you could newtoniate constantspacetimefully with it

asciilifeform: this is still massively moar complicated than barrett

asciilifeform: aha massive points for effort

asciilifeform: mine will also be log(bitness) if you shift(N, 1) , ... 2, ... 4 and mux appropriately, lol

asciilifeform: ( which likewise shifts for the entire bitness, every time )

asciilifeform: i can say immediately that if you 'secret shift' every time you want to modulus, you will take at least same number of steps as knuthian division.

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: !!rated apeloyee

asciilifeform: this worx. but seems to reduce to a more complicated and non-unrolled version of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716343 ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform reads again

asciilifeform: what part of 'can't branch on bits' was hard to understand ?

asciilifeform: and holy fuck you are COUNTING ZEROES

asciilifeform: apeloyee: i'd be curious to hear how intel will 'optimize' xor. ☟︎

asciilifeform: fortunately we don't actually need any such thing in ffa. none of the algos require shifting by a seekrit bitness.

asciilifeform: e.g., N is a number to shift, Q is shift amt, R is result, S = l_shift(N, 1); mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - 1)); S = l_shift(N, 1); mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - 2)); ...... mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - (width-1))) ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: geological runtime.

asciilifeform: re shifter, on second thought you COULD shift bitness-1 (e.g. 4095 ) times and then mux EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT but omfg.

asciilifeform: if it can't be written down without any conditional (e.g. 'if' ) statements, and also -- for a given bitness -- unrolled into writing without ANY loops -- it is not permissible routine for ffa.

asciilifeform: ( normalization LOOKS AT SECRET BITS and therefore is forbidden anywhere in ffa for any reason )

asciilifeform: apeloyee: also if you know how to newton-raphson converge without ANY normalization ANYWHERE, plz to post.
