mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check out the libertards stealing the having stolen !
mircea_popescu: yes "anticolonialism" was bullshit, but not because it destroyed a supposed rational approach of the colonisers. it was bullshit because it exactly mirrored "civil rights" at home, ie was driven by INTERnationalistic, socialist elite-wannabes.

asciilifeform: ^ no barrett yet. and there is still room for polish in barrettless variant, there is still a great deal of avoidable shifting and subtraction of guaranteed-empty words in FZ_Mod ( exercise for alert reader, to see where ! )
asciilifeform: alert reader will also notice that FZ_Mod is now ok with half-width divisors, eliminating the copying in FZ_Mod_Mul and FZ_Mod_Square .
asciilifeform: all of this - naturally - remains properly constantspacetime and unrollable.

asciilifeform: ultimately it would make sense to use barrett reduction but currently i am not satisfied with the proof that it converges ( for some reason, every statement of this proof that i could find, seems to exclude reduction by powers of 2, and i do not yet understand why )
asciilifeform: with barrett, modexp should go back to below-1sec @ 4096b .
asciilifeform: but i will need an ironclad proof that it worx for ALL possible inputs.
asciilifeform: ( the 'corrector' at the end of barrett will have to go through a mux, and fire a fixed # of times, and gotta prove that this-many and no-greater suffices. )
asciilifeform: barrett reduction >> http://www.loper-os.org/pub/barrett_1986.pdf << 1333337 w4r3z . yes, pdf, it's the original 1986 article, scan.
asciilifeform: i ain't linking to pediwikian bowdlerizations , and there is no other source afaik .
asciilifeform: ( hint re FZ_Mod : notice that the first Bitness shift-lefts are really single-word; and same is true of the subtraction, and of the mux; the next Bitness ditto and ditto -- are really 2-word ops; and so on. )
asciilifeform: it isn't actually necessary to touch the entire R for the first Bitness*(RemainderWordness-1) (on 64-bit box, and for the 4096b example, that's 64*63 == 4032 ) shots of the inner loop !
asciilifeform: there are a total of Bitness * DividendWordness cycles , in this example 64*128 == 8192

asciilifeform: !!up TomServo
deedbot: TomServo voiced for 30 minutes.
TomServo: Ahoy, just wanted to pass this along: https://keccak.team/2017/not_arx.html
TomServo: archive.is seems to be struggling with it.
asciilifeform: TomServo: there is no scientific basis for the strength of ANY published hash algo whatsoever.
TomServo: asciilifeform: I recall you mentioning this.
asciilifeform: ( plenty of known basis for ~weaknesses~ of various . the absence of which, in any particular case, has NO bearing on above. )
asciilifeform: and imho there is a serious problem with 'not ARX' in linked piece : omitting additions makes the hash ~considerably~ nsa-friendlier : it is easier to implement xor/and/not/shift on, e.g., optical computer, when you don't need addition (and ergo carries)
ben_vulpes: and as the keccacteams mention, little incentive for cryptoacademia to formalize how ARXceteras might fall over. hard work with little guarantee of payout apparently terrible strategy in a world of publishorperish + everyone pretends to ignore that none of the academics ever bothered to do the hard work of an actual ffa, preferring instead cheap outs like leaky tables
mircea_popescu: while the carry property of addition is cryptographically valuable, it'd be better to use a general transform with bit coda instead.
asciilifeform: depends 'better' for whom.
mircea_popescu: consider something like mp's generalized addition : the sum of two numbers flips a bit if and only if one of them is prime.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole class of generalizations that can be done in this same vein.
mircea_popescu: addition is "and you flip a bit if and only if the digits overflow the mod", but this is historical accident.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anything involving 'isprime()' during everyday life is either a table lookup (leaks!) or miller-rabin (slow as fuck, temptation to cut iterations and introduce eggog)
mircea_popescu: anyway, since examples work best : 763 mp+ 229 => 3 + 9 = 12 ie 2, 6 + 2 = 8 + 1 carry, 7 + 2 = 9 + 1 carry = 0 so finally = 82
asciilifeform: and incidentally i dun have a nonleaking miller-rabin yet, need nonleaking gcd ( have on paper, but not in ffa yet )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform per digit tho
asciilifeform: then it'll be a table
mircea_popescu: just illustrating the concept.
asciilifeform: i'd prefer a macroscale numbertheoretical hash, even one that explicitly stands on strength of, e.g., rsa, to the currently extant soup.
mircea_popescu: i was not proceding towards a purpose! but it is worth pointing out that the addition understood in terms of "sum+bit diddle" can readily be extended ; and probably should be.
lobbes: fuck. I apologize for lobbesbot's join/part spam lately. no idea wtf is happening. taking him out of chan for time-being...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lookx to me like your addition dun commute ( or associate... )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed not.
asciilifeform: does it even work in a ring
mircea_popescu: um. it does commute, 763 mp+ 229 = 229 mp+ 763 = 82.
mircea_popescu: association it does not tho.
asciilifeform: commutes yea
mircea_popescu: and the whole point was to break out of ring.
asciilifeform: there's usefulbreak and gutsalloverthefloor break
mircea_popescu: useful for whom ?
asciilifeform: i won't say yet which it is
mircea_popescu: i also fucked it up because 9 is not prime so it should have carried the 1
asciilifeform: incidentally iirc we did the proof of 'if there is a good hash, there is a good blockcipher, and vice-versa'
mircea_popescu: let's do this fucking properly.
mircea_popescu: 763 mp+ 229 => 3 + 9 = 2 + 1 carry. 6 + 2 = 8 (+1 carry = 9) + 1 carry, 7 + 2 = 9 + 1 carry = 0 so finally = 92
asciilifeform: ( where 'good' is 'proof of difficulty of randomly-generated case is possible' )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i seem to unspecifically recall this
asciilifeform: it's a triviality: if you have 1 , you can make the other out of it with ~no effort
shinohai: lobbes: There are like 30 instances of it over in #eulora
mircea_popescu: o god yeah.

asciilifeform: folx with 'infinite' resources, turns out, can't afford some very basic things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the above example of "alt-addition" is mostly based on the happenstance that in base 10, the set of digits that are also prime is {1,2, 3, 5, 7} and the set of digits that are not prime is {0, 4, 6, 8, 9} ie it just so happens to be a perfectly balanced split.
mircea_popescu: in other bases that don't so even split, this is not crypto-valuable because you would get induced lean.
asciilifeform: it ain't as if you're ever getting a prime from prime+prime, tho
mircea_popescu: really ?
asciilifeform: excluding 2

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but that's the point, base 10 is superbly built wrt primeness.
mircea_popescu: and in other ways and means, i just bought a pile of primo cigars, presidents and romeo y juliets and whatnot at this... cathouse, basically.
asciilifeform: hilariously, asciilifeform has a 'romeo&juliet' cigar tube from 1970s
asciilifeform: inherited from grandfather's 'weird shit from foreign lands' box
asciilifeform: 20 yrs ago it still had the smell. ( not today )
mircea_popescu: they're pretty good.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, should be smoked within the same decade they're rolled. tobacco dun exactly age in this extended sense
asciilifeform: oh it was empty tube
mircea_popescu: lel. good for granpa then.
asciilifeform: but if thing tasted as good as the tube smelled!

mircea_popescu: didn't obama win the cigar nobel prize ?

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716165 <-- I r confused. if 3 + 9 = 2 (+1 carry, because of primality of 3), then isn't the result 93?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-20 19:29 mircea_popescu: 763 mp+ 229 => 3 + 9 = 2 + 1 carry. 6 + 2 = 8 (+1 carry = 9) + 1 carry, 7 + 2 = 9 + 1 carry = 0 so finally = 92
mircea_popescu: spyked see lower down
mircea_popescu: o wait. why would it be 3 when 3 + 9 = 2 ?
spyked rereads the definition of mp prime-addition
mircea_popescu: in no case would the carry alter the current decimal level.
spyked: oh. confusion is resolved then
spyked: will have to work out a few more examples on paper.
mircea_popescu: can come up with a few mp-extended additions of your own, and for that money even formulate a general theory of addition extension in this sense,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been thinking about sending ffa , when finished, as an article into the saecular derps' 'cryptology journals', strictly for the lulz of getting their reject barf , and then posting, a la al schwartz
mircea_popescu: with the perhaps eventual result of actually producing a well grounded numeric-theoretic notion of what alf wanted, ie a fucking hash already
mircea_popescu: that's not made out of flour and spit like it's fucking africa.
asciilifeform: will be interesting if any reply, considering how the thing obsoletes half the idiocy they currently print
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this works splendidly for blog article imo
asciilifeform: well naturally whole thing is to be an article.
asciilifeform: ( really a lengthy .txt , but can be formatted however wanted )
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716177 <-- why 1? don't want to start a debate on that. dunno if debate was ever settled by mathematicians, but I learned in school that primes are strictly > 1
a111: Logged on 2017-09-20 19:36 mircea_popescu: anyway, the above example of "alt-addition" is mostly based on the happenstance that in base 10, the set of digits that are also prime is {1,2, 3, 5, 7} and the set of digits that are not prime is {0, 4, 6, 8, 9} ie it just so happens to be a perfectly balanced split.
mircea_popescu: spyked "a prime number is one which is divisible by only itself and the meter".
mircea_popescu: 1 fits this, 0 does not.
spyked: mircea_popescu, yeha, but maths ppl I read/talked to "by convenience" define prime as "a number greater than 1 which is divisible ..." the reason escapes me. and as usual, online sources are shit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if 1 gets to be a prime, you then throw out the conventional def of prime, because now you have a prime that divides other primes unequal to itself
asciilifeform: and this is only the beginning of the ugh
mircea_popescu: that's a subsidiary and unimportant property.
asciilifeform: ahahahahaha
mircea_popescu: the definition of prime is as quoted, what more is needed here ? 1 is divisible by only itself and the unit [of measure].
asciilifeform: how about the 'every int has unique prime factorization' item ?
mircea_popescu: it does. "unit terms are ignored"
asciilifeform: why not ignore by '1 ain't a prime', lol
mircea_popescu: because you gotta add the spit-fix at the right juncture.
asciilifeform: wtf is even the point of talking about primes if you ALWAYS gotta say 'but not 1'
mircea_popescu: your convenience is not my concern.
asciilifeform: go ahead an' bolt whatever you like to ~your~ kalash, hey.
asciilifeform: just don't be surprised when nobody else wants to.
mircea_popescu: alrighty then!!1
mircea_popescu: so far i'd be surprised if anyone seriouslty didn't want to ; the argument as presented seems sufficiently overabundant!
spyked: lulz!
mircea_popescu: heck, for the same money also exclude 2, and perhaps 3 because son of numbers previously hit by bill of numeric attainder.

mircea_popescu: lobbes didja give the code a once over for the purpose of not ending up with this again ?
lobbes: I'm gonna look into shinohai's suggestion of checking the PID rather than grepping for name. Let's just leave it in #eulora for now and I'll get back once I dig deeper later tonight/this week
lobbes: for the meantime, auctions will work over there an' such
trinque: eh lobbes that sounds really damned hairy.
lobbes: yeah
trinque: look into "runit"
trinque: grepping for logs to restart is nuts
mircea_popescu: runit pretty much looks by pid neh ?
trinque: no, it has a supervisor process that spawns your thing, monitors state, respawns if dead
trinque: and it's the lightest weight item that does so, that I've found
mircea_popescu: but "monitors state" by pid
trinque: sure, it knows the PID of its own child process
mircea_popescu: does it do moar monitoring than "is PID so and so still there" ?
trinque: nah, but gives you a logging facility and choice of what happens when child process is gone
trinque: which can be other than "thrash-loop until operator notices"
trinque: http://smarden.org/runit/runsv.8.html << stuff the supervisor does
lobbes reads
trinque: and sure, could bash script a loop that does exactly what you want, and then bash script your next service too. people do that. and then they generalize out the utils, and have a process manager of their own.
asciilifeform: hey trinque didja ever have time and write that piece re 'sane http replacement' ?

lobbes: re this monitoring thing: seems like the key either way is to have a parent process that spawns the child process, rather than a disconnected process monitoring whatever
mircea_popescu: trinque no argument
mircea_popescu: lobbes yes, that'd be an improvement conceptually/
asciilifeform: apeloyee: ...hello?
trinque doesn't oppose a guy hand-carving his own thing at all, either.
apeloyee: asciilifeform: how about a "pediwikian bowdlerization of barrett" after all (don't truncate multiply results)? This would be simpler (but slower)
trinque: anyhow got payments bot to ship, which while running long is forcing me to develop sane processes around airgapped trb use
asciilifeform: apeloyee: please elaborate
trinque: then got the houston flood piece and hypertext-dht piece to write
mircea_popescu: trinque you ever saw "la zizanie", possibly de funes' best piece ?
asciilifeform: apeloyee: my principal problem with barrett is that i don't have a proof that it works with 3 or fewer corrective-subtractions for ALL possible a,b,m in a*b mod m

trinque: so she can tutor me with it
mircea_popescu: then must do
apeloyee: asciilifeform: is it intended that ffa doesn't have a shift that doesn't leak the upper bits of shift amount (via access pattern)?
asciilifeform: apeloyee: shift amounts are not secret
asciilifeform: in any ffa routine
asciilifeform: they depend strictly on which op ( which is not secret ) and the ffawidth ( also not secret )
apeloyee: so far yes. have you given up on newton-raphson?
asciilifeform: apeloyee: yes because for guarantee of convergence you need MASSIVE ( afaik, at least 4x the ffawidth ) bitness
asciilifeform: apeloyee: what do you see as its advantage, vs barrett ?
asciilifeform: because as far as i can see, it has all of the same problems, but more so
apeloyee: you gotta compute the reciprocal for barrett's somehow.
asciilifeform: that's an ordinary knuthian div
asciilifeform: and it happens once per program boot
asciilifeform: ( when ffa width is determined )
apeloyee: per modulus?
asciilifeform: ah yeah per modulus
asciilifeform: still 1 knuthian div, vs the 8192 i have now (in the example)
asciilifeform: the cost of 1 knuthian div is negligible
apeloyee: true, but I thought you wanted a universally-fast reduction?
asciilifeform: ( and when we do rsa, can store the reciprocal in the key, there's no particular reason to compute it every time )
apeloyee: (fast even for fresh moduli)
asciilifeform: apeloyee: i want the fastest possible universal reduction that works in fixed spacetime and provably so
asciilifeform: if that's barrett, it'll be barrett. if it's knuthian, will be knuthian. if newtonian -- newtonian. in no case it will be montgomery, say, or any other non-universal one.
mircea_popescu: the stored reciprocal is actually a good idea.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: barrett's idea, notmine
asciilifeform: incidentally if apeloyee or anybody else knows how to make a 1..ffabitness shifter that doesn't leak the shift amount, on ordinary pc, plz post.
asciilifeform: afaik this cannot be done without a physical barrel shifter of the given bitness.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: also if you know how to newton-raphson converge without ANY normalization ANYWHERE, plz to post.
asciilifeform: ( normalization LOOKS AT SECRET BITS and therefore is forbidden anywhere in ffa for any reason )
asciilifeform: if it can't be written down without any conditional (e.g. 'if' ) statements, and also -- for a given bitness -- unrolled into writing without ANY loops -- it is not permissible routine for ffa.
asciilifeform: re shifter, on second thought you COULD shift bitness-1 (e.g. 4095 ) times and then mux EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT but omfg.
asciilifeform: geological runtime.
asciilifeform: e.g., N is a number to shift, Q is shift amt, R is result, S = l_shift(N, 1); mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - 1)); S = l_shift(N, 1); mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - 2)); ...... mux(S, R, R, iszero(Q - (width-1)))
asciilifeform: fortunately we don't actually need any such thing in ffa. none of the algos require shifting by a seekrit bitness.
apeloyee: asciilifeform: and if you think a little more, you'll notice that log2(bitness) shifts (by wordwidth, wordwidth*2, wordwidth*4 ... ) and muxes suffice. http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/hkkYj/?raw=true
apeloyee: (assuming mux doesn't leak - who's to prevent intel from "optimizing" it?)
apeloyee: apologies for the sad parody of pseudocode.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: i'd be curious to hear how intel will 'optimize' xor.
asciilifeform: and holy fuck you are COUNTING ZEROES
apeloyee: why not?
asciilifeform: what part of 'can't branch on bits' was hard to understand ?
apeloyee: it doesn't.

apeloyee: CLZ is of course O(N)
asciilifeform: mine will also be log(bitness) if you shift(N, 1) , ... 2, ... 4 and mux appropriately, lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he squeezed a little juice out of the rock, check him out.
asciilifeform: aha massive points for effort
asciilifeform: this is still massively moar complicated than barrett
asciilifeform: even if you could newtoniate constantspacetimefully with it
asciilifeform: now you gotta normalize, denormalize, and proof that it cannot under any conceivable circumstance fail or take variant time
asciilifeform: apeloyee: try and rewrite without the 'while' loop
asciilifeform brb, meat
BingoBoingo wonder what part of Chicom death knell is responsible for these fucking slow blocks
apeloyee: asciilifeform: which while loop? in CLZ or secretshift?
shinohai: !!up mafeketty
deedbot: mafeketty voiced for 30 minutes.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: are you available for
shinohai: !~tits
apeloyee: I don't understand how to do classical barrett without CLZ on modulus
apeloyee: hence I posted it. plus it'd be useful for newton (if fast division is deemed necessary for some as-yet-unknown reason)
apeloyee: while loop in secretshift does a number of iterations dependent only on ffa number width and word width, so can be unrolled if those are known

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716403 << by definition monkey business with instruction timings is ~detectable~. but the other idea is, a proper ffa is very easy to fpgaize/siliconize.

mircea_popescu: mafeketty there's nothing there.
shinohai figured it out
shinohai: mafeketty: olvidaste `.com`
shinohai: Are you trying to type these links by hand?
apeloyee: longmod procedure in linked pdf says "2^b < m <2^(b+1)" on page 9
mircea_popescu: a hey, there it is.
mircea_popescu: mafeketty address ?
mircea_popescu: mafeketty yes, that part is fine. now, where do you want the bitcents sent ? what's your bitcoin address ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai considering how bubbly she looks in her pics, she's shockingly quiet verbally huh ?
mafeketty: preguntale shinohai mi direccion de bitcoin
shinohai: She is typing all this shit manually .... keeps sending me messages lol
shinohai: mircea_popescu: 136w5Goh345kTdhTUDDzh3jBUiCFHM3hTn

shinohai: appears to be it. I told her you are not responsible if it goes to bad addy
mircea_popescu: mafeketty is that right ? 136w5Goh345kTdhTUDDzh3jBUiCFHM3hTn esta correcto ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai how would you know ?

mafeketty: gracias
mafeketty: muchas gracias amor
shinohai: This has to be one of the most entertaining times I have ever translated en private.
mircea_popescu: lol whyssat ?
shinohai: First she sent me an email, saying one of her friends did this, and thought it was a scam.
shinohai: Then I spent 15 minutes teaching her how to use irc
shinohai: and also assuring her it wasnt a scam
shinohai: "Well I see a lot of chicas ispanas there, so it must be legit" (translation mine)
mircea_popescu: i imagine it must be pretty confusing, this brave new world.
mircea_popescu: yeah, no chinese girl as of yet huh.
shinohai: Get this, kiwi irc is blocked in her section of the country
mircea_popescu: what country is this
shinohai: Colombia ... one of my other contacts gave her my email
mircea_popescu: i'm guessing further cloudflare shenanigans ?
shinohai: Likely ... when I sent her to plain web.freenode.net it worked fine
shinohai: Guess I need to stand my old self kiwi instance back up
shinohai: Now the Lord Baron Titsbare, because he feels bad for some random chick in 3rd world country, has to spend the next hour or so explaining how Bitcoin works to n00b.
shinohai: The things I do for this Republic
shinohai: But thank you mircea_popescu ... she may yet turn out to be yet another valuable contact I have met through your programme
mircea_popescu: lol. you ever been to colombia even ?
asciilifeform: !~later tell apeloyee http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-20#1716422 << this is what i've been trying to figure out re barrett : can it be made to work for ARBITRARY inputs , in constant spacetime

jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: On advice from our esteemed Lordship, I only went to Alfonso Bonilla airport in Cali to pick up the Baroness ...
mircea_popescu: o hey, you actually got a local gf out of the deal ?
shinohai: Remember?
mircea_popescu: dude THE THINGS YOU DO FOR THE REPUBLIC!
shinohai: ^ that one
mircea_popescu: pretty girl at that
mircea_popescu: so she's been what, live in columbian gf for a few months nao ?
shinohai: She came after we first met here, went back, then came back abt 2 months ago
mircea_popescu: phf i hope you're taking notes lol
mircea_popescu: shinohai so does she work ? or is it more like domestic slavery arrangement ?
mircea_popescu: o wait, i forgot. it is against the law in the united states for human female to work ie not be domestic slave.
shinohai: Well, it is domestic slavery as much as she is not bound under usistan law ... only has travel visa
ben_vulpes: wait i thought it was against the law for human female to be a domestic slave
shinohai: Fuck the police
ben_vulpes: labor pool must be as full of meat as possible, families kept in poverty paying for childcare
shinohai: She had heard horror stories of life under Trumpreich and was afraid to return this last time

jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Había oído historias de terror de la vida bajo Trumpreich y tenía miedo de devolver esta última
shinohai: TErrible translation
mircea_popescu: not so terrible is it ?
mircea_popescu: what'd you prefer, "vida sobre la opresion de trump" ?
shinohai: Ella habia escuchado la historia de vida bajo el Trumpreich y tenia miedo regresar
mircea_popescu: historias!
shinohai: oido = an actual sound
shinohai: escuchar = gossip
mircea_popescu: stylistically defensible!

mod6: nice work with the tits & help thereof.

shinohai: I also publish for your amusement, the outtakes from her foto session https://imgur.com/a/WIHc1
mod6 looks
ben_vulpes: that one scar kinda looks like a t-rex
shinohai: ben_vulpes I was just talking to her about the scars .... those things interest me.
mircea_popescu: how'd she get them ?
shinohai: Dice por un accidente del auto
mircea_popescu: lotta that in central america.
shinohai: fr .... When I was in Guatemala EVERY FUCKING DRIVER scared the shit out of me
shinohai: Despite that, still wish I could go back
mod6: <+shinohai> Dice por un accidente del auto << dang, looks like it hurt.
shinohai: Were I as rich as Sr. Popescu, every night I'd pay 0.02 BTC (adjusted for inflation) to hear these magnificent stories.
mircea_popescu: heh, recall when 0.02 seemed too low ?
shinohai: As such, I only hear them when asked to trasludar
shinohai: 0,02 has a nice ring to it though ... 0.01 cada teta
shinohai: BRING YOUR HALF ITS TO #trilema
