(trilema) asciilifeform: understand, it is not possible to use partial machinewords in the simplest possible (i.e. the one in ffa) arithmetic method.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: so ffa only allocates by... 8 byte chunks ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: and won't work in ffa.
(trilema) BingoBoingo: ^ Markets love ffa
(trilema) asciilifeform: idea is, for pre-millerrabin litmus, take gcd(candidate, Qw) where Qw is largest primorial that fits in the ffawidth
(trilema) asciilifeform: you wouldn't want a mb of anything in ffa tho

(trilema) mircea_popescu: and trinque was about to release a payments thing for deedbot by ... end of july yo! and then there's the ffa growing towards a proper tmsr-rsa, and of course the gossipd sandbox, and a coupla yet sikrit items and so on
(trilema) asciilifeform: forn00bz: an, e.g., rsa modexp, in ffa, must be representable by a long roll of paper, on it are ops for ordinary 4function calculator, with very patient slave. and roll ONLY ROLLS FORWARD and has finite # of instructions on it, known in advance when you decide the ffa width.
(trilema) asciilifeform: in currently published ffa set, none of the ops do this
(trilema) asciilifeform: makes the rest of ffa an exercise in complete pointlessness, to use anything of the kind.
(trilema) asciilifeform: nogood tho. because cannot be expressed as FINITE, KNOWN (for particular ffawidth) sequence of good ol'fashioned word-arithmetic ops.
(trilema) asciilifeform: currently trying to express montgomery reduction ffaically.
(trilema) asciilifeform: the sad and slow constantspacetime solution , is the same exponentiation-by-squaring ffa has now, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/BVxyN/?raw=true , but after FZ_Square(B, B, C_Sqr); we FZ_Mod(B, M B) every time.
(trilema) asciilifeform: we cannot do this. because the simplicity of ffa comes from using strictly ordinary machineword arithmetic.
(trilema) asciilifeform: ( the infallible litmus for ffability : 'can this be UNROLLED TO DEATH?' if not -- no go )
(trilema) asciilifeform: for simplicity, tested the case that actually happens in practice: on a 64bit box, any ffa width over 512 bits gives a strictly 8-wide comba mult ocurrence
(trilema) asciilifeform: but this being said , i am not even ready yet to barf re ref-keccak, i aint even yet done barfing re ffa not having already existed
(trilema) asciilifeform: ( every single inline pragma in ffa is there because without it, stat. signif. uptick in run time on all of my iron )
(trilema) asciilifeform: ( thing still runs in constant time: N always walks the range of 1 to last digit of the width of our ffa )
(trilema) asciilifeform goes back to FFAism
(trilema) asciilifeform: 'reality winner' affair
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re rsa, i'm looking forward to msdos ffa test.
(trilema) asciilifeform: ffa for instance does NOT rely on an os
(trilema) asciilifeform: currently i also suspect that the whole ecc 'fashion' was instituted specifically to prevent a ffa-style treatment.
(trilema) asciilifeform: even the 'ffaishness' of ffa has certain natural limits. gcd, for instance, is not constanttimeable
(trilema) asciilifeform: it's the razor blade ffa walks on

(trilema) mircea_popescu: the hassids permitted. it's complicated, but, in the context of judaism (which is STRICTLY an eastern european affair, just as "united states" will not be a thing of hawaii even long after the continent is no longer us and the island still clings to history), hasidism was a sort of 1800s 1960s. flower power all the way.

(trilema) asciilifeform: on my box, a 1048576bit ffa has a 240ms mul.
(trilema) asciilifeform: mod6: other thing, since ffa is constant time, your N! is in O(N) (if mul were considered a constant op and brought outside of the brackets. which is is, 10! with 4096bit ffa, takes exactly C longer than 9! with 4096bit ffa. etc )
(trilema) asciilifeform: mod6: think of ffa as a soldier's entrenching spade. you wouldn't dig a foundation for a new house with it. but it is bare naked simple, + adequate and entirely so for entrenching, and for the occasional bout of hand-to-hand.

(trilema) phf: ~for me~ studying ffa is a faster method to pick up good habits, shed bad habits, considerably more so than say studying that avionics code above.
(trilema) phf: you gotta study to get to the point where "it's a simple matter of". that's the kind of insight that reading ffa can give you
(trilema) phf: asciilifeform: that's silly. it took you many years to arrive to the point where you even understand what "stop overthinking" is, or how to manifest it in code and still provide the solution. i problem is in too much thinking, then you could get a complete idiot to write ffa.
(trilema) asciilifeform: phf: the 'insight' in ffa is simply the kind that was taught to the prussian soldiers -- 'stop overthinking'
(trilema) phf: there's plenty of insight in ffa
(trilema) asciilifeform: there ain't much of it in, e.g., ffa
(trilema) asciilifeform: the other thing to remember, is that the win from writing in ada - but not in ada in general, but the style demonstrated in ffa in particular -- remains even if YOU HAVE NO ACCESS TO GNAT and gotta compile by hand into asm. because it forces the style of algo that CAN be safely so expressed - i.e. without presumption of pointerolade arithmetic, gc, or other cost-externalizing electrosocialisms

(trilema) mod6: i set out to do something similar to what phf had been doing by writing some tests utilizing ffa. but then i couldn't figure out how to even make a package with function or procedure that used a generic type.
(trilema) asciilifeform: mod6: somewhat relatedly, chased bug in ffa for a ~week : wanted to make FZ.Z a trimmable ( e.g. length set as optional param ) so as to enable karatsubaization (which does 0 useful without being able to, for it and nothing else, constrain the lenght of FZ)
