BingoBoingo: ethnic enclaves, they never fail to put on a smile and admire everything Asian. Without the Asian industriousness and food, the Westerners will just be cave people just like their cave-dwelling ancestors not too long ago. One has to wonder why didn’t the Mongol overlords finish colonizing these Westerners and turned them into proper Asians. In the near future, the Chinese will just do that because the spineless lazy Westerners have gr

apeloyee: you sort them at the biginning, using a mux.
asciilifeform: hm, i must've been thinking of some other gcd algo, because lehmer's is a definite dead end.
apeloyee: just do some muxes in the end. 2*bitness divisions obv suffice (actually less, but I'm sleepy now)

apeloyee: now let's try generalizing to standard barrett (the error will grow to 2 of course). let L be number of digits in N: 2^(L-1) <= N < L. L is calc'd with the CLZ algorithm
apeloyee: A <4^K, so the above strictly >(A*4^K)/N - A.
apeloyee: let rewind. A*R = A*(4^K - B)/N = (A*4^K)/N - A*B/N; as B <= N, then the previous >= (A*4^K)/N - A. clear?
asciilifeform: let's start with the above
asciilifeform: dunno if i do, still trying to swallow the proof.
apeloyee: A - N*floor(A*R/4^K) < 2*N <- do you agree with this? (the proof is unnecessarily complicated in that paste)
apeloyee: in the posted version exactly ONE is needed
asciilifeform: adds exactly one sub-and-mux to the existing 3.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: so what'd the correction step look like, with the pseudoquotient
apeloyee: meaning you divide 4^K - 1 by the modulus, not 4^K
apeloyee: if N is 2^(K-1), then ordinary quotient won't fit in K+1 bits. but pseudo-quotient (one less the actual quotient) still works.

asciilifeform: same thing we do for the wholeword shift
asciilifeform: ( example : if wordbitness is 64, any subword shift is from 0 .. 63, and therefore can be expressed using 6 muxgated shifts . )
asciilifeform: though it does look like it'll have to do log2(wordbitness) shifts for the initial subword slide, rather than 1, to avoid leaking on machines without barrel
mircea_popescu: apeloyee what was the thinking there ?!
apeloyee: the key expired.
trinque: yes, and I barfed the key out of same gpg to put it on the wot site
mircea_popescu: trinque well in fairness, it does say BAD right there in the leadup
apeloyee: per spec the bitness is a power of two
apeloyee: I assumed the elementary shift doesn't leak. whatever, just do the sub-word shifts with the same algorithm (with word size 1)
asciilifeform: not only an idea, but afaik the only practical method that isn't W-shifts-by-1-with-mux
asciilifeform: you shift by all possible whole word shifts, and mux-keep the correct one; then shift by all wordsize-1 possible subword shifts, and muxkeep the right one.
asciilifeform: hm i think i finally see what algo apeloyee was trying to implement ( the pseudocode doesn't actually do it )
apeloyee: goddamnit. it's FIXED!!! first sub-word one (which doesn't leak in our model), then by 1 word, then by 2, then 4, 8 and so on
asciilifeform: second, ~any~ wholeword shift leaks info re the shift amount, because different address sequence .
apeloyee: fix word-size and bitness. otherwise, you don't
asciilifeform: first of all, didja ever say how to dispose of the 'while' statement ?
apeloyee: the whole-word shift
apeloyee: yes, the sub-word shift
asciilifeform: there are 2 invocations of conventional ffa shift :
asciilifeform: apeloyee: it ain't log(bitness) ! not if you don't want to leak any info re the shift amount.
apeloyee: log(bitness) passes over and the same number of muxes are "massive costs" in your universe?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-21 16:22 asciilifeform: !~later tell apeloyee i studied your algo, it (aside from truly massive cost, that would annihilate savings from newton, or barrett, or just about any other trick) ~still leaks~, because shifting by >wordsize is a fundamentally different op from shifting <wordsize; and the only way for this to not be true is for all shifts to happen as a series of wordsize shifts; and a shift by ffawidth-1 (max shiftness) would then consist of ffawor
mircea_popescu: well excepts are not good signs are they ?
apeloyee: (except the first sub-word one)
asciilifeform: the one posted by apeloyee -- leaks
apeloyee: the operations themselves leak anyway. i thought they shouldn't leak operands?
mircea_popescu: apeloyee but now you can tell what size the shift was, to some degree, by timing.
apeloyee: a shift by multiple of the wordsize takes considerably less time than by not << and a multiply takes more time than add, what.
asciilifeform: a shift by multiple of the wordsize takes considerably less time than by not
apeloyee: leaks _what_? it does the same fixed shifts, regardless of operands
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes technology is built by steps. so far, being able to put in machine terms a "ask all the bots see which one mentions 'payments' as a string" is a legitimately useful ability.
mircea_popescu: the part what's under discussion is the ~why~ nobody implemented the json/sexpr part of the spec./
mircea_popescu: well yes. the part where the spec should be followed is not under discussion.
ben_vulpes: the response from the bots to what they can do. either they're all spec-compliant, respond the same way to the same set of commands, or they don't.
mircea_popescu: but practice aside, shouldn't i have the ability to query a bank of seated whores, "what can you do ?"
mircea_popescu: exactly like the original url worked, in practice the spec never delivered this magical ability to query servers for resources to the end user.
mircea_popescu: well the original case was to end up with a proper universal api.
ben_vulpes: i am struggling to see the case of ever. someone programming against bots should read the help themselves and implement the api described.
apeloyee: asciilifeform: ok, how it's different then from http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716301
mircea_popescu: now the question here is, do we actually want to ditch the machine portable portion of the help ?

asciilifeform: there is no way around this, if you proceed after div0, you are in neverneverland. fortunately writing pcode where div0 demonstrably never happens, is not difficult.
asciilifeform: a div0 does not have a defined result, and any program that attempts it is resultingly nonsense. the ancients got this right.
mircea_popescu: in that it terminating the program at a certain time it leaks... a certain time.
asciilifeform: terminates the program.

mircea_popescu: division by 1 as part of modexp is not happening either.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'holes' in arithmetic suck, because they are inescapably branch conditionals. if i could not prove that div0 is impossible in the course of, e.g., modexp intermediate steps, ffa would be a wholly impossible thing.

asciilifeform: as for gains, i dun know for sure yet, because i gotta manually implement the asymmetric karatsubaization for the above
asciilifeform: he proposed to do the normalization as usual, but with 'secret shift' algo. which , any way you cut it, eats more cycles than knuthian division even.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is quite different from the apeloyee d00d's suggested method
asciilifeform: in ordinary barretting, x loses its bottom however-many bits, to make the multiplication smaller, depending on the 'bitlength' of x; and then its gets restored with a leftshift . we can't do this, because ffa.
