a111: Logged on 2018-04-28 16:50 asciilifeform: ^ ave1 has the closest thing to a turnkey process afaik. ( still requires finding a working gnat for ~some~ machine , somewhere, that already runs )
ave1: Unfortunately, It has taken weeks (a clean build takes a couple of hours + multiple small bugs had to be solved)
ave1: Currently I'm building the final version (I hope, I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago)
ave1: When done + test that the cross compiled gcc actually works on an arm system I will publish.
ave1: I found out that GNAT 2016 has some support for arm 64bit, but for android and ios and not for linux. So I had to do some small patching (I also looked at the 2017 version and I still could not find plain linux support in the adacore gnat)
diana_coman: that sounds good ave1, looking forward to reading the post on it, when ready
esthlos: asciilifeform diana_coman: are the secure memory portions of MPI useful/worth their weight?
esthlos: cool, I may make a patch which rips it out.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-28 19:17 mircea_popescu: you need better markup, as it is is confusing. is 3 or 4294967297 the factor shared by 2 or more moduli and which are htey.
diana_coman: esthlos, no such thing as secure memory really
diana_coman: asciilifeform, aha; and not of much use really
esthlos: so let's say I remove the "secure" bits of MPI code for the sake of honesty. is this a needless complication of the eucrypt vpatch tree?
diana_coman: esthlos, well, it ultimately depends on your vpatch (what it does *exactly*), neh? chopping off some unused and moreover useless parts is valuable but a. it needs to be done making sure that nothing breaks b. mpi is and will still be a pile of shit
diana_coman: (we don't have anything else to use so use the pile of shit, yes)
esthlos: if I make decrudification a patch on the genesis, probably requires no changes to eucrypt vpatch tree. but if it's a new genesis, tree breaks, no?
esthlos: because "crud never existed" might be simpler than "here is crud, now let's remove it"
diana_coman: basically if you change something on which existing patches depend then it breaks, yes; why not put it on existing fully-pressed tree though?
esthlos: asciilifeform: very possible
diana_coman: esthlos, there is no such thing as "crud never existed" ; we are not re-writing history here wtf
diana_coman: it existed and it costs (A LOT) and we are pointedly and in-your-eyes-as-visible-as-possible nuking it whenever we can
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you added a new link (on stats page). if someone clicks on that link, he is regaled with a list of unlabeled numbers.
mircea_popescu: esthlos, you wouldn't make it a patch on genesis unless you were trying to signal your disdain for diana_coman 's work so far.
mircea_popescu: and while "crud never existed" may be tempting from the hallucination-as-font-of-reality pantsuit perspective, it is nevertheless not actually the case.
mircea_popescu: the fact that colors alternate by2's which is not necessarily appropriate also adds to the confusion.
esthlos: hmm, I did not realize that patching the genesis directly would have those effects on diana_coman 's work
mircea_popescu: esthlos, it's very centrally how the v mechanism is intended to / works : you get to opt which patch trees to continue, much like in the case of bitcoin.
esthlos: asciilifeform: this is where, I think, I failed
mircea_popescu: don't be too harsh on self ; item is deliberately made in such a way that not-quite-coincidentally is SO VERY CONTRARY to "common wisdom", unwrapping all the corners into head takes a while.
mircea_popescu: you are not alone, for a big tent's there with you, and all the dumb chicks nobody wants and and aaaaand.
esthlos: aha, so if I want to patch "as close to genesis as possible" the mpi lib, AND I want this patch to be used in diana_coman 's proggy, the ONLY choice is to patch current leaf of diana_coman 's proggy
esthlos: ok ok, one cockroach killed?
esthlos: I did, but did not mess with it enough, apparently
mircea_popescu: esthlos, did you see the recent discussion re polardbeard's sad failure to participate ?
esthlos: no, was this in past few days? I'm behind
mircea_popescu: yes, it was. to summarize, careful what you do with your patches, in the following sense : if diana_coman doesn't CONTINUE your patch, it will have to be reground later. as she's a human being with other problems and interests than folding in your alt universe, it helps IMMENSELY if you make your patches small and readable.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if instead you fall into the other mental pit of pantsuit, where you go off by self for lengthy interval and come back with an intricately complex crystal of perfect beauty, odds are it'll get ignored for lack of time to appreciate it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hard to pick the relevant transforms from the box, what can i say. if this weren't the case "computer security" would be more akin hygiene.
mircea_popescu: contrary to the counterfactual reality us shyster constructed, "copyrights" bs.
esthlos: mircea_popescu: I will watch for that. Last thing I want to do is to waste anyone's time
mircea_popescu: especially. minigame is working on adding some fg code to eucrypt as it is, she'll prolly include your stuff if she can, so there you go. make it small, make it readable, start with one thing at a time and so on.

mircea_popescu: i'll grant it's a little difficult to guess what's going on from far away. if you don't say anything people are going to eventually assume something random.
mircea_popescu: well, in their alt-universe poverty is also someone else's fault.
mircea_popescu: nobody is poor because they're fucking stupid and generally worthless ; they're poor because i'm mean or some dumb shit like that.
ben_vulpes: i'm curious who's going to pay the 48MM
mircea_popescu: us has succeded in its aspiration to be argentina. it exists as a pretend-country on the basis of foreign capital markets.
mircea_popescu: the whole "copyright" bs is very much equivalent to "los malvinas son argentinas", and other commercial claims they do not have.
BingoBoingo: If only there were still a prediction market that could be used for evaluating the proposition "Schengen Exit Visas When?"
BingoBoingo: In other news the hostel this weekend is full. The staff helpfully let me know in advance so I could prepare. Given it is Autumn and the weather this weekend is biased towards torrential downpours I wondered "Who would be vacationing here at a time like this?"
BingoBoingo: Turns out the answer is a bunch of Irish potato nigger "English Teachers" doing a visa run from Argentina.
BingoBoingo: Their answer to that point is that "the company" cares. They aren't very clear on that leading me to suspect they are human trafficking chattel brought in on a sort of year long vacation package which gives them an allowance while "the company" milks the money from the "teaching" on at least a couple sides.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, turns out Irish girls are getting fat like estadounidense girls circa 2010
mircea_popescu: and in other "holy shit these people", flour bag comes with apple pie recipe. which is just as well cuz gals just baked one. the flour bag recipe calls for... 3-4 apples, HALF A POUNT OF BUTTER and two.5 cups flour.
mircea_popescu: back at reality ranch, pie dough out of a pound of butter takes like 2kgs of flour, and is enough to feed a whole regiment two days.
mircea_popescu: very fucking totally "girl", ty wikipedia, merriam-webster and indistinct jumble of entirely unrelated messes. AI PREVAILS!
mircea_popescu: "heart opening" fucking yoga jesus f christ. essentially the future function of google will be as pantsuit-rappropiation-engine, "here's spurious associations of our irrelevant crap to actually interesting things you may understandably be interested about".
mircea_popescu: sort-of like how soviet library would offer you "lenin's writings on tensors" if you were looking for anything done by imperialist-burgeois authors in the field.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the pantsuit notion of "girl" is relevant in this world, or attaches to my chattels, exactly in the sense and to the degree cate blanchett is relevant to elizabeth the 1st.

zx2c4: re:your ECC skepticism and RSA-love -- a while back the NSA changed the Suite B recommendations to partially remove ECC for new crypto systems and also removed P256 IIRC. There was a great paper analyzing what the possible motivations could be, i think called 'an enigma inside a riddle' or something goofy like that. Let me find it...
