diana_coman: btw asciilifeform ch14 and esp the 14Abis (the bounds proof for barrett's reduction) were a pleasure to read.
diana_coman: just for any log readers around: this is not yet the 3d lib at all; it's JUST the planeshift client really, still.
diana_coman: funnily enough (though quite usual in my xp) precisely after I complained re the left/right confusion, I had now the pleasant surprise to find out that meanwhile my brain sorted it really; I suspect it was more that initially I did not realise that there was a mismatch rather than the actual changing of convention; getting back to it was fine.
asciilifeform: ( re eulora, as i currently understand diana_coman's main work atm is an excavation, similar to trb circa '15, of heathen coad )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this was the design objective, yes. is meant for people to eat.
diana_coman: it's much more sanely structured so one CAN actually understand it, you know; that's the main thing; not to mention it's ...worth getting it into one's head to start with; anyway, unless I end up writing a blogpost on "why size is really not all re code", it's probably enough to say it's saner really.
diana_coman: "a break" as in taking a break (from the mess)
diana_coman: on the bright side, ffa is such a contrast to euloran client to make digesting FFA a break in itself
asciilifeform: diana_coman: right, this was my inference from the orig article, your run time includes the wait for fg to emit
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my test was with bits directly read from fg, not buffered (if it wasn't clear); also fwiw further timings and tests are still on my list - it's just that my hands are/have been rather overflowing with eulora
asciilifeform: it needs veehehery small current, on the order of a coupla microamps

asciilifeform: lyso-fg is about 20bux moar unit cost than classical. but i dun have the free hands atm.
mircea_popescu: yes well, just as soon as someone wants to do all-visible-celestial-bodies montecarloisims / novel protein folding etc -- can pay you to do the lyso array
mircea_popescu: for the needs of desktop crypto this is perfectly calibrated.
mircea_popescu: you want industrial thoroughput for some kind of scientific megaapplication, use the crystals.
asciilifeform: imho the correct answ. is obv. if one thinks about it.
asciilifeform: ( btw mircea_popescu in old thread correctly intuited that you Do Not Want to buffer an fg, but i dun think either of us ever wrote explicitly why )
asciilifeform: given that asciilifeform does not buffer fg ( exercise for reader: why not? ) these waits do not happen in parallel with the computation, and by all rights ought to expect that a live-fg test (not yet performed) can be expected to take longer by the above interval, vs. the bottled-entropy test pictured in yest. thrd.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, thinking moar re this item : the two tests make roughly comparable demand on rng: 3582 * (2048 / 8) byte == 916992 bytes (single 2048 gcd) ; 3155 * (2048 / 8) == 807680 byte ;

asciilifeform: for completeness : output from variant with only sections 1 .. 8 of the multiprimorial ; eight 2048bit primes in 4m10.188s .
asciilifeform: 1 moar hypothesis : on boxes where very slow rng (e.g. fg unavailable ) or where heavily milked fg, generating e.g. ephemeral rsa privs with high frequency, economy may be much greater, as fewer doomed m-r shots means fewer '?' invocations for their witnesses gen.
asciilifeform: from either 632 / 535, subtract the 32 that the 'winner' consumes, to get # of m-r performed on eventually-rejected candidates.
asciilifeform: in the ordinary 2048bit primorial , 632 invocations of m-r ; in the elephant primorial, 535 .
asciilifeform: nao it ~is~ possible that in avg case ( again, if not obv, the above could easily be a fluke, given as whole algo is monte carlo ) there is greater economy.

asciilifeform: aand for that matter, if you were to put in a random turd instead of the primorial, you will still get valid primes, will simply take longer (i.e. the prefilter won't work)

mircea_popescu was vaguely consdiering sending a large wire for pizz again, on the grounds of this vague impression i have they're desperate for liquidity.

mircea_popescu: in fact, this is SO fucking ~biologically~ specific i'm even proposing it as the ~best currently known~ gender test. 1. female path : what are you going to do ? "im going to try X" why X ? "it's what everyone else tries". 2. male path : what are you going to do ? "i'm going to try Y" why Y ? "never fucking heard of it before"

mircea_popescu is great expert at identifying breakage in "virtual economies". in fact, one thing that kept his interest in gaming alive past the single player neverwinter nights / gothic/ nox etc era.
diana_coman: and by "breaks" there I meant more like fundamentally break as in ...it's not really designed well; (because why design esp for "so that it can break and be repaired")
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, no, that's exactly what i'm saying. they wanted to "make money" sitting rather than to make money making money.
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
diana_coman: eh, they wanted to make some money not to have to fix things!
mircea_popescu: this is even why we play seriously : so as to have broken things that have been fixed (and broken again and fixed again, xn) rather than shiny untouched "things".
