asciilifeform: i dun get why mircea_popescu equates the present situation with a complete lack of the item
asciilifeform: i'd concur with mircea_popescu that one ought not connect ffa to, e.g., icbm, until it comes with proofs for all of the components, etc. -- but we do have a working modexp, from which can extrapolate pessimal speed ( it will get faster, but let's assume for said calculation that it will not )

asciilifeform: when you ffaize 'simpler' is not always what initially looks like .
asciilifeform: but hypothetically it may even be possible to ffaize bernstein's tree. or even to do it in such a way that doesn't wipe out the cpu winning from it. and even possibly to prove that it works and doesn't leak bits and doesn't let composites through once in a while.
asciilifeform: but in light of this, a correct rsatron is still one that stands on nothing BUT the assumption that rsa is hard.
asciilifeform: if you want 'compromise' rsa, use koch's.
asciilifeform: there is to be no compromise on leak.
asciilifeform: if ffa can be made to do 4096b modexp in 0.5s on typical comp, that gives ~1byte/msec purersa payload. which is enough for many purposes, e.g. voice.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: theoretically. but cache locality win from smaller memory segment sometimes gives surprising winning. the example above, for instance, gives 2x speedup rather than my predicted 25%.

asciilifeform: complete with dimon, who shat exactly same nonsense each time
asciilifeform: mod6: you will notice that the barrett in 'crc handbook' is more complicated : it shrinks the x and then compensates later. this relies on normalization , and constanttimeized incarnation of it would have to work as apeloyee described ( i'ma try it much later, once i see what can be had re speed strictly from having asymmetric karatsuba instead of the current mega-waste )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-06#1722033 << lemme know mod6 if there's any part that dun immediately make sense. FZ_Make_Barrettoid looks complicated but really is identical to the optimized knuth divider, with the difference that the dividend consists of all 1s and known ahead of time, so we don't shift it
asciilifeform: ( not to mention did not yet even try to use apeloyee's secret-normalization method : instead we use a completely unshifted dividend , and cut it in the end)

asciilifeform: range of m is 1 .. (2^4096) - 1 in this example.
asciilifeform: a div0 does not have a defined result, and any program that attempts it is resultingly nonsense. the ancients got this right.
asciilifeform: reals dun exist on a comp
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: announced 'dump here' because likely very soon i will have nowhere to host a multigb item, for indefinitely long time.
asciilifeform: sql dump.
asciilifeform: !!!!! ACHTUNG, PANZERS! !!!!! >>>> http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/dump_9_13_17.gz <<<< phuctor db snapshot, circa last night. this is likely to be the last chance for an unknown while , for anyone who wants to grab a copy.
asciilifeform: very interestingly, i happen to know that comp chairs at one time came with steel wheels
asciilifeform: whenever i think of cheap 100%finestchinesium officechairs, i think of the famous 'overpressure piston impalement' chair.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-14#1714258 << funkenstein was an odd d00d: shat on trb, but lifted it wholesale for use in his altwhatever; today hangs in kakolandia and misses no chance to hurrdurrmpisafraud etc
asciilifeform: ( and we had the babylonian seals thread. standardized seals are useless. but magic value that sram forgets if boobytrap sprung, is prolly best physicaltamper trap possible short of keeping subject under own pillow to guard )
asciilifeform: ( exactly like the broadcom remoteroot from 6mo ago. except this one is an overflowism IN THE SPEC rather than any particular chip's implementation )
asciilifeform: 'the bobbin, in all likelihood, was from some truck. in the early years denisyuk used it for igniting the mercury lamp, it served at first the function of the yet-uninvented laser. nearby is a capacitor by siemens, a transformer, definitely scavenged, found on some post-war scrapyard
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, but unlike , say, egyptian mult, barrett doesn't have the appeal of simplicity or obvious correctness.
asciilifeform: ( simplest possible mul )
asciilifeform: one by jebelean, 'Exact Division with Karatsuba Complexity' , possibly ffaizable.
asciilifeform: ( possible example of the former -- http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-18#982523 ; of the latter -- aerogels )
asciilifeform: ( personal comp in 1970s. etc )
asciilifeform: incidentally afaik von kempelen's mechanical voicebox was never replicated even to this day
asciilifeform: i recall the automata, von kempelen et al
asciilifeform: imported from ru.
asciilifeform: this is not compatible with my demand of a fully general modular mult op.
asciilifeform: this is why it was so tricky to implement karatsuba.
asciilifeform: other thing, apeloyee , is that if ffa does NOT operate on mixed bitnesses. i.e. if your operands are B bits, and you introduced an intermediate of some kind that is 2B bitness, now ALL of your computations with that must be 2B wide (incl. comparisons, nullity checks.)
asciilifeform: and no precomputations.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: anything that beats multiply-then-divide is an improvement, so long as it meets the basic demands ( constant time, constant space, NO branches that depend on input bits, no use of approximations, no massively heavy - 100 loc is a good approx max - code )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713470 << ~organ~ tech, phf, organ. 88 keyz ain't a comp kbd.
asciilifeform: incidentally in case it weren't obvious, much bloatier rsatrons than the one contemplated in ffa, fit in asciilifeform's head -- e.g. montgomery mult, barrett, various war crimes in that vein
asciilifeform: no such thing is contemplated
asciilifeform: i'd like it not to be lost upstack, so will restate ftr : a 'optimized' rsa that no longer fits in head and is no longer demonstrably-correct , ( and worse yet, no longer operates branch-free ) is NOT RSA and is simply a turd being fraudulently passed off as the genuine article
asciilifeform: shoot people for adding complexity. regardless. of. why.
asciilifeform: this is the typical complexitycollapse, happened to, e.g., ibm pc
asciilifeform: if we gotta compute on fpga, to do rsa sanely -- then fpga it is. 8192-bit regs.
asciilifeform: dunno what is complicated about this
asciilifeform: i hold that it is not meaningful to attempt to separate'em
asciilifeform: ( seems to have variant with numpad nao! but STILL no f- )
asciilifeform: but for some odd reason he made a variant without f-keys, arrows, numpad
asciilifeform: 95% of the academitards dun even bother with any attempt other than 'how do i montgomery slightly faster'
