asciilifeform: reminds me of the dream i just woke up from -- where i found a way to send a bit backwards in time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unfortunately the d00d is quite correct in his description of the mechanism. gprof doesn't work in the obvious, sane way ( a mechanized version of what i did -- per-routine timer ) but using randomized sampling.
asciilifeform: 1 snag is that -- afaik -- gprof doesn't work with static bins, or musl.
asciilifeform: and fwiw i did not use gprof when i determined where to put the timer -- i used an actually clueful initial hypothesis, and an outer timer ( on ProcessBlock, which was the item of interest ) to compare the output of various inner ones against.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so, to take example, if you found a rng that turns out to emit digits of pi -- the proof-of-weakness will be plouffe's algo.
asciilifeform: actually-- deadly boring stuff. and intentional. 0 surprises. 'schoolboy' algos for just about all arithm ops.
asciilifeform: short and simple enough for even exceptionally impatient folx to read and grasp.
asciilifeform: aim is to cap the thing at its current ~1000 ln.
asciilifeform: (several min. on pc with no entropy bottleneck (i.e. FG present))
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the only palpably slow knob is prime-finding
asciilifeform: ( and on encrypt, as well as decrypt end ! leaking plaintext isn't more forgivable on transmitter end than on receiver )
asciilifeform: but that's transparently bogus, rsa has 0 business ever running in anything but worst case spacetime
asciilifeform: the usual argument is 'that'd be slow'
asciilifeform: for some peculiar reason, everybody else (afaik) who implemented a bignumtron, only did this (or claimed, at any rate) for modular exponentiation -- but not for its subcomponent ops
asciilifeform: 'San Francisco and Santa Clara County, which had asked the judge for an injunction, “have a strong interest in avoiding unconstitutional federal enforcement and the significant budget uncertainty that has resulted from the Order’s broad and threatening language,” the judge wrote, referring to Mr. Trump’s January executive order on immigration.'
asciilifeform: in other magas, https://archive.is/SaZEV >> 'A federal judge in California on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to withhold funding from cities that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement...'
asciilifeform: because - somehow - each of 5,300 (and strictly this number) did it on own, personal lark.
asciilifeform: 'Wells Fargo said it had fired 5,300 employees found to have defrauded customers.' << gold
asciilifeform: it isn't as if wf were a company, in the customary sense -- it's a usg organ, like microshit. 'tbtf'
asciilifeform: the best part: 'Fargo CFO John Shrewsberry told 500 senior Wells Fargo execs in a conference call that the scandal would not affect third-quarter earnings "much." '
asciilifeform: http://archive.is/PFvo7 << in other lulz >> 'Multiple shareholders stood and yelled at the board of directors and Chief Executive Tim Sloan. The shareholders were angry about the bank's creation of as many as 2.1 million phony accounts in customers' names.'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-25#1647818 << ~nobody who does this sort of thing, ever pays for ~anything. certainly not for bandwidth. ( and supposing he did -- what's a TB cost at market rate ? fiddybux ? )☝︎
asciilifeform: (which means, pure rsa, no orc glyphs, no catastrophic malformed packet prior to modulus, etc)
