asciilifeform: and no 'validation of grammar' in sight !!
asciilifeform: because so long as you stay in the voltage and hold time constraints ( and you won't be violating these over internet ) it will give correct answer, now and 1000 yrs from now, to all physically possible inputs.
asciilifeform: what will you do to it, to take it to an invalid state ? connect to 220 volts ?
asciilifeform: erlehmann: 'validating input' is idiotic - a sanely designed system simply contains no physically possible perdition state to be led into.☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh and coauthored with nadia heninger
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that djb piece is epic multilayer shitsandwich : he advocates 1TB+ keys; consisting of MANY (i.e. smaller!) primes ; and because 'quantum apocalypse'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma guess he's been shot.
asciilifeform: in recent sads, 'Our batch prime-generation algorithm suggests that, to help reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, all users of RSA—including users of traditional pre-quantum RSA—should delegate their key-generation computa- tions to NIST or another trusted third party. This speed improvement would also allow users to generate new RSA keys and erase old RSA keys more frequently, limiting the damage of key theft.'☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i suspect that erlehmann will like 'p' ( not yet released proggy. ) where you give it a cycle count before it runs, and it gets to step ~that~ many steps, and produces no more than B bytes of output per step...
asciilifeform: on the contrary, any literate fella using a decompressor , expects
asciilifeform: erlehmann: recall pkzip-bombs on bbsen ?
asciilifeform: ( and sure, occasional superstar mircea_popescuist pulls off 'money + hatespeechblog' in concert . but for mortals there is typically some degree of engineering tradeoff )
asciilifeform: perhaps he wants, e.g., tenure, rather than to be thrown to dogs.
asciilifeform: i expect to get done in by it personally, if not by anything else first, and i dun even eat it ! ( it is however in the water , air, fraudulently mixed into $maxint premium phood etc )
asciilifeform: not to rain on the parade, but must point out: moar fine folx, incl. pretty gurlz, nuked by walmatronium than opium
asciilifeform: hey, bushinton meant it to go to ru , not usa!111
asciilifeform: even at ye olde backwater u. of maryland, there were persistent rumours, of profs who found, with simple perltron, gigantic cribbed segments of homework, and then ordered to forget-whole-thing by the dean, because perp was a blueblood
asciilifeform: meanwhile völkischer beobachter does not disappoint , https://archive.is/ja4zY >> 'At Brown University, more than half the 49 allegations of academic code violations last year involved cheating in computer science. ... At Stanford... as many as 20 percent of the students in one 2015 computer science course were flagged for possible cheating'
asciilifeform: ( everyone who has cultured something -- knows this. exhausted culture soup goes into vacuum flask, which gotta be killed before you can empty into waste drum, and often this proves harder than expected )☟︎
asciilifeform: funnily enough there are things that will not die, in bleach .
asciilifeform: ( with bent neck : you can vacuum up old 'soup' without denting the 'business end' of the bottle with the pipette )
