mircea_popescu: if single - word mult is same as add, there's no benefit to not simply multing the parts.
mircea_popescu: this is only relevant because machines do mults in like 18x the time they do adds.
mircea_popescu: but yes alf is correct i did base 10 for convenience because most people don't have base 2 mult table loaded in head so dunno what 110 * 101 is
mircea_popescu: mod6 the thing with these is always some little insignificant nook that gets caught
mircea_popescu: mod6 because (a + b) * (c + d) = a (c + d) + b (c +d) = ac + ad + bc + bd. now, in our case, we were doing 11 * 11 and so a = 10 AND c = 10, while b = 1 AND d = 1, and so if you replace you yahve 10 * 10 + 10 * 1 + 1 * 10 + 1 * 1. because 10 * 1 = 1 * 10 you can just write it down as 2 * 10 * 1.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this was going to be my next line of inquiry. can the above discussed +1 bs be lost if we simply enforce a conveniently chosen size ?
mircea_popescu: because obviously if we're cutting up 11, the first part will be 1 and the second part will be 1.
mircea_popescu: trivially, 11 * 11 = 121, and also (10 + 1) * (10 + 1) = 10 * 10 + 2 * 10 * 1 + 1 * 1 = 121.
mircea_popescu: shifts are mults by powers of two in binary, basically.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you take a number of say 22 bits, and cut it in two 11 bit numbers. this 11 is the k. then you have first part * 2 ^ K (=11) + second part to get the original back
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes but do the math for signal power used in eg FM radio, then figure what the satellite would have to send.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes because then an outsider can and therefore will observe the black box behaviour differentials, thereby giving away the keys.
mircea_popescu: which, as i told sina, certainly fixes something : it makes it so that common people can't spy, but nsa still can.
mircea_popescu: whereas as alf aptly points out, the waywards of the world attempt to spit-fix this after the fact.
mircea_popescu: this then reduces to the case where constant, space, time etc
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's not the point. the point is that the processor must never have an if(secretbit) then branch
mircea_popescu: rsa is the fundamental basis of individual identity. tmsr is a republic of men. without proper rsa, it can not be properly said men exist.
mircea_popescu: larger bar to actual tmsr sovereignity to correspond to the ideological than, eg, the continued existence of the united states.
mircea_popescu: mod6 if you manage to cut l to where it's 64 bits you save a loit
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point re fluorescents is more to see where than to see if, i bet.
mircea_popescu: ah dun have the paperwork here, but anyway, io tell you, that item would work great as artist installation. it's an otherwordly color
mircea_popescu: obv, toxic if ingested. but that color was outright alien
mircea_popescu: al schwartz is such a treasure of specific information.
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet the british government NOT fond of going around naming things.
mircea_popescu: i always thought that's just gypsy swag. now you're telling me it's ukrainian ?!
mircea_popescu: which reminds me, girl forgot wireless mouse for laptop, was trying to use the mousepad. i, from meters away, was helping with the mouse.
mircea_popescu: no, if you change your username it is going to show trhe new one when you boot it next
mircea_popescu: so if compiz or w/e has a similar thing ? dun have to run compiz.
mircea_popescu: but consider eulora. it has a ... login desktop, which is not only shared between sessions, but users also! being the same
mircea_popescu has notced people keep ranting on about "folders" which supposedly is how you say directory now, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: but obviously, they don't even know it's a matter of "the", smoking own cock as per usual with the ustards.
mircea_popescu: momentarily read "the", was "wtf are these people smoking"
mircea_popescu: i read that as you proposing random third party to be the root for the discussion somehow.
mircea_popescu: phf's capacity to scale an explanation is well impressive.
mircea_popescu: the cogent objection to x is that "design irrespective, something this fucking long can never be good." the redditard objection to x is "omaygerd, black chix code!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: sina trivially verified, open two gui editors, type in one , check the other.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect asciilifeform has octopus helmet but with eyes, reads like that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe not at nsa, but eg at puerto rico / united ass-fucked emirates, etc.
mircea_popescu: windows vista is so aptly named, like one of those florida retirement things. "rancho linda vista" etc
