asciilifeform prolly oughta start simply carrying a sack of fg everywhere he goes
asciilifeform: but instead we can simply let Karatsuba_Term return the carry, and say c1, c2, c3 and in the end we ripple out c1+c2+(-1^subtractenable) .

asciilifeform: re shells, lack of completion is the kind of screaming imbecility for which there is no justification-- you're already sitting in front of a machine, it could be doing 100% of the algo-trivial brute work. rather than 90% - worst of both worlds, bulldozer that still leaves you with 2hr of shovel.
asciilifeform: but answer is , digging a hole for 2hrs is sweaty work, but it isn't a thorn in what would otherwise be a flow state, the way missing tab complete is.

asciilifeform also entertained that this is almost the exact arg of mircea_popescu an' asciilifeform re mphf, originally, but with the sides reversed
asciilifeform: idea is not to impress, but to cauterize
asciilifeform could perhaps qualify as a championship miser if he were richer
asciilifeform: mno. observation was re concrete cases where it is impractical to change a key. say, the parasitic radio item.
asciilifeform: ( consider, if changing keys were painless, we could use lamport's method )
asciilifeform: sorta why i put the effort into crafting a demonstrably bug-free constantimetron, first thing, rather than 'let's use gnu gmp with massive keyz'
asciilifeform: the other argument is impact of leaked bits.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: parallelizes linearly, if one is impatient.
asciilifeform once met the d00d in saeculum . not impressed.

asciilifeform: imho using anything less than the longest rsa key you can physically get away with on the hardware of your time, is simply nonsensical -- like using smaller bullet on enemy than you strictly must
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-16#1698809 << hitler is entirely central to the post-1945 'world order' , far more so than he ever was to own attempted empire
asciilifeform: of course, arguably if you can actually DO this, you will probably lose interest in the mphf method per se
asciilifeform: was more of a philosophical observation : that mphf is not turing-complete ( in the same way 'p' is not. deliberately )
asciilifeform: (i.e. if you, yourself, already computed H(x), then you know how many turns of the crank it took. and can pass that number along.)
asciilifeform: ~after~ a mphf (or similar) hash is taken, the time and space required are known.
asciilifeform: i dun see this picture, where we GOTTA take a shit into this here fine vase, 'or empire will'
asciilifeform: if i specify a pubkey for myself with 65536-bit public mod, then other people can simply decide that i'm an arse and that verifying my sigs isn't actually +ev for them
asciilifeform: this is true. but my original point was that it is impossible to verify the correctness of a list of primes other than by same procedure as generates one.
asciilifeform: but imho incomplete.
asciilifeform: mod6: the three snippets are a pretty good, imho, intro course to 'you can have a useful, statically-compiled lang without promiscuous pointers'
asciilifeform: you can't use ada's array concatenation feature either, to cheat, because i banned it. it introduces implicit jump.
asciilifeform: they're temp copies of the multiplicands
asciilifeform: they're the foundational abstraction that makes the thing compact and readable
asciilifeform tries to count how many 'improved' versions he wrote, and then discarded...
asciilifeform: ( the whole thing is quite compact, and misering on codesize loses massively moar than it wins here. (
asciilifeform: hence why everything that oughta be inlined, i empirically determined, and already is.
asciilifeform: ( and it ain't an instance of 'compiler too smart for own good', either, but perfectly legitimate refusal to try to fill up the universe with your mistake )
asciilifeform: but as it happens, my hypothesis re 'this will speed up mult' is wholly false; and the one where 'it will simplify program from reader pov' also, somewhat paradoxically, false.
asciilifeform: and to simplify reading.
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/YoOl3/?raw=true << 'classical' versions of all 3 routines above, for comparison.
asciilifeform: so it turns out that imposing 'powers of 2' is NOT a win.
asciilifeform: so reducing temp space, does 0.
asciilifeform: despite 50% reduction in temp space used by karatsuba mult and square
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-14#1697933 << pretty easily. asciilifeform had a bumper wreck in bmore once, passing cop declined to take report, demanded 'who was killed here? if nobody, i have no time for this, and no one else from station will come either'
asciilifeform: it would make the kind of miner monkey work currently fashionable, ~impossible
asciilifeform: buncha monkeys, sitting on remnants of massive imperial machinery made by men. and looking for any, any way to leverage'em into a few moar yrs of pushing back the inevitable
asciilifeform: but at any rate this is not open problem, it was solved in ~same way in all 3 major inca empires -- fighter goes to max altitude, launches slightly modified radar-seeker rocket, vertically.
asciilifeform: this in practice is harder than simple sat launch ( the latter is not trying to fly to a specific point in space )
asciilifeform: forcing 2^x = W, x in Z , also simplifies comba
asciilifeform: simply take a 6720-bit W.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-14#1697693 << and importantly, current ffa works with ( see factorial demo ) any multiple of 64, that fits in your machine memory.
asciilifeform: and by extension, with the temp buffers in same
asciilifeform: it would simplify many routines, in particular karatsuba
asciilifeform: ftr i considered imposing a 'ffa W is power of 2 or fuckyou'
asciilifeform: when on 128-bit iron , which exists today, you simply gotta pad out your payload so it sits in a W multiple of 128 ( supposing you insist on squeezing every penny of horse out of the 128ness )
asciilifeform: each of which computes exactly same thing, correctly.
asciilifeform: let's work an example
asciilifeform: would be very clear that the 'must sit in whole number of machine words' is not any kind of constraint imposed by asciilifeform , but by the machine
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'solution to math problem' existed in 1978. ffa goal is simplicity+correctness of implementation + adequateperformance.
asciilifeform: understand, it is not possible to use partial machinewords in the simplest possible (i.e. the one in ffa) arithmetic method.
asciilifeform: the important bit : if fails, make a ~new~ one, rather than n+1
asciilifeform: and 'to ada' also wrong word, (ultra fascist subset of) ada is simply what remained on the table after we went methodically through all reqs for a sane programming (for existing iron) system
asciilifeform: i've been pushing folx to return to a 'dijkstaraist' concept of program, as something primarily to be ~read~, and only secondarily as something to execute on comp
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-13#1697308 << simple pill : run no sbcl made post-2011...
asciilifeform: quite comprehensible

asciilifeform: even pumped beam , or epic cosmic ray, still stops a few ~cm~ in au or pb tho
asciilifeform: claims ' Compute V <-- A^{-1} (mod M), in data-independent time.' in comments tho
asciilifeform: contribution to gmp
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nobody knows , afaik, a sane algo. not 1 lib implements anything of the kind
asciilifeform: importantly, same roll MUST work for all possible m^d mod n params.
asciilifeform: and not simply 'reducing entropy', but introducing a relationship between all of them
asciilifeform: lzw is neither here nor there, you can't rely on payload being compressible
asciilifeform: aaactually chance of computing randomturd-cum-crc is no lower than 1/bitness-of-crc
asciilifeform: 'computer without if'
asciilifeform: makes the rest of ffa an exercise in complete pointlessness, to use anything of the kind.
asciilifeform: we cannot do this. because the simplicity of ffa comes from using strictly ordinary machineword arithmetic.
asciilifeform: it's catastrophically slow on general-purpose comp
asciilifeform: it is loop- (and any other jump) - free
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
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mphf in a fixedtime fixedspace system is insane
asciilifeform: erlehmann: you seem to be fixated on a problem that simply doesn't exist in sane contexts
asciilifeform: at any rate it is just as easily implemented on pmachine as rsa.
asciilifeform: ''When RSA is the underlying primitive, something even more is known: that the ability to forge with resources R in an attack which does not exploit some structural characteristic of the MGF implies the ability to invert RSA on random strings using computational resources only slightly greater than R.''
asciilifeform: replete with magicnumbers, 'random oracle' assumptions, 'perfect hash', and other maculae
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i looked at the pss thing, seems like simply yet another obfuscatorily-complex nsaological artifact
asciilifeform: ( if anyone recalls my sageprobe crack ? that was as simple as it was because the thing used crc as hash... )
asciilifeform: empirically
asciilifeform: requirement for H is more or less the opposite of mircea_popescu's hash exercise -- it gotta compute in fixed time.
asciilifeform: ( importantly, the fact of said discard must not be discernible through timing side channel )
asciilifeform: but also didjaknow, 'but what they can do is, after a hardfork happens, they could buy all the coins that the MP and the rest of whales dump into the market to try to kill the fork, and not only that, but they could pump it even higher by simply printing more money and pumping the price of "gavincoin" above legacy chain. what then'
asciilifeform: also i thought mention of mp/trb/et al were a hangin' offense at tardstalk
asciilifeform: however it does not seem possible to do without it. but i have not proven this impossibility.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even the simpler, the former

asciilifeform: dying empires all seem to go through a megalomaniacal-pyramidal construction phase
asciilifeform: ( which i thought was mircea_popescu's implication earlier )
asciilifeform: see, it may seem to mod6 that asciilifeform is simply being difficult, whereas what asciilifeform found was that WE NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED 168K
