asciilifeform: 'peh' is intended as a working, weaponized demonstration of the 'specificity of diddling' principle. (but perhaps this was obvious to errybody.)
asciilifeform: i wouldn't even be opposed to putting usb logic on FG -- but to this very day have not found a sane (i.e. not reflashable via usb) interface ic , aside from the chinese dongles ( which i outboarded, because if a piece can be outboarded -- it oughta, per specificity-of-diddling )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860806 << "own prng" stance also correctly implements specificity-of-diddling republican doctrine, and more importantly one not really so formally expressed before -- that responsibility must sit with they responsible. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and if effort is made, no more specificity of diddling, cr51 for them all ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823375 << except, it ain't a proper arm cortex, but a softcore-arm in (metallization)fpga. cuz i suspect somebody read the Logz re specificity-of-diddling ☝︎

asciilifeform: !#s specificity of diddling
asciilifeform: ~expose~ in garage. where made -- less important. because specificity-of-diddling .
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769493 << very basic specificity-of-diddling lemma. i.e. if i put today's trilema through it, it isn't as if it knows in advance that it ain't an analogue-rng-board plugged in, and what to shit out in response to a trilema that ain't yet been written ☝︎
asciilifeform: i'd quite like to have some bigendian heavy iron for 'biodiversidad'/specificity-of-diddling reason, but afaik there is none to be had ( at least in the weight class of opteron, which can haz in 32cores easily enough )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1701949 << very much a standard in the proper sense. standard should specify what must be specified, and NOT specifiy what needn't be specified. which is why all tmsr standards, or at least the ones i wrote, have this very prominent characteristic. "do it whichever way you do it". connects straight up with ye olde specificity of diddling. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-18#1700026 << in teh morning mp wishes to state that while the harem arrangement, however understood, is not to be discarded out of hand, nevertheless it can't possibly be the correct solution for everyone everywhere all the time. specificity of, you've guessed it, diddling! ☝︎
asciilifeform: also nicely illustrates 'specificity of diddling'. you buy a bucket of 74xxxxolade. enemy wants to diddle'em en route -- but which ONES? and how ? ( he has nfi where each set of gates will end up going in the scheme )
asciilifeform: the multiplication problem is incidentally a textbook instance of 'specificity of diddling'. if someone offered any of you a cpu that has a 'rsa instruction', you'd barf. because very clearly paints a target for the enemy, giving him info he has no business having re what you intend to eat, when, with what spoon
asciilifeform: but basic idea -- nothing other than fpga machine conforms to 'auditable without electron microscope' and 'specificity of diddling'.
asciilifeform: phf: the basic theorem involved in breaking out of a thompsonism is specificity-of-diddling.
asciilifeform: trinque: recall the 'specificity of diddling' thread; inspection is only one of the two known defenses.
asciilifeform: the emperor is the earliest, known to me, inventor of 'specificity of diddling' lemma. see logs, very informative.
asciilifeform: veen: specificity-of-diddling. by using one centralized entropy pool that the os knows about, you make enemy's work slightly easier.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "universal" anything breaks specificity of diddling.
asciilifeform: ('slave clock' in turn is an illustration of specificity-of-diddling. say you do not want to run the thing at the default clock, because you suspect that enemy rented the flat below yours and is microwaving your box, not only penetrating the shields but boiling your tea for you, etc. and you want to run at a different, unknown to him, frequency. well -- you can.)
asciilifeform: per specificity-of-diddling lemma
mircea_popescu: specificity of diddling again applies. just as long as your response is not categorically identifiable, the empire is stuck in the one place it hates.
mircea_popescu: but that's kinda the point. avoid specificity of diddling
asciilifeform: perhaps this is a good time and place to say why. in short -- specificity-of-diddling theorem.
asciilifeform: (this type of cut is a very necessary thing, imho, per 'specificity of diddling', nothing beats the ability to mix&match parts, run queries in parallel on redundant subsystems on heterogeneous iron, etc)
ben_vulpes: iirc there is no canonical specificity of diddling article
a111: Logged on 2015-05-30 04:04 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: y'know, at some point one of us needs to write the canonical 'specificity of diddling theorem' article.
mircea_popescu: hm, anyone recall the "the canonical 'specificity of diddling theorem' article." as per http://btcbase.org/log/2015-05-30#1148301 ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: another is specificity-of-diddling.
asciilifeform: the real 'killer app' of fpga is 'specificity of diddling'
mircea_popescu: hence stuff like specificity of diddling. hence all sorts of things.
mircea_popescu: besides the point. specificity of diddling obliges him to modify election mechanism.
asciilifeform: recall the specificity-of-diddling threads.
asciilifeform: i recall there was thread where mircea_popescu suggested the use of nonstandard bases to frustrate enemy per 'specificity of diddling' principle.
ben_vulpes: specificity of diddling applies.
asciilifeform: there is also the advantage i described earlier, re 'specificity of diddling'
asciilifeform: fpga also plays well with my 'specificity of diddling' theorem.
asciilifeform: sorta the 19th c. variant of the specificity-of-diddling thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is the basic principle of 'specificity of diddling' (for fuck's sake it needs a name)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-03-2016#1438070 << aaaactually mircea_popescu invented specificity-of-diddling-theorem, i just heavisided it ☝︎
ben_vulpes: another good topic is "specificity of diddling".
asciilifeform: it is in re the 'specificity of diddling' thing.
asciilifeform: this is really a specificity-of-diddling theorem application.
ben_vulpes: good ol' specificity of diddling.
ascii_field: (homogeneous - per 'specificity of diddling' theorem)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you recall the 'specificity of diddling' thread ?
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 23:41:18; asciilifeform: it is absolutely essential, to understand what is being spoken of here, to go back to the thread about the specificity of hardware-diddling.

asciilifeform: poor fella arrived just as i was thinking of attempting essay re: specificity-of-diddling
