| a111: | Logged on 2018-01-08 02:02 mircea_popescu: 5. client proceeds to build what it can (if set to, and as per signatures again) and present the pile. | [05:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | hes to THAT third party either, meaning, again... | [05:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | this then allows the emergence of software distribution networks, and so on. | [05:16] |
| diana_coman: | in other gnupg-isms: it uses lcm(p-1, q-1) instead of phi itself, supposedly to make decryption faster but essentially through making the decryption exponent smaller moreover, this is a sort of buildup on the whole pile of stink because it quite relies on p and q NOT being really random (if they really are random, chances are gcd(p-1, q-1) relatively small and therefore phi and lcm not really all that different anyway) | [09:33] |
| diana_coman: | (obv. no comments in the code to know why it uses lcm there, so the supposition above is entirely mine if anyone sees a different reason for that, let me know) | [09:51] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: are you speaking of the item http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/aQhMA/?raw=true ? | [09:56] |
| asciilifeform: | ( snippet paste is from the classical 1.4.10 ) | [09:57] |
| asciilifeform: | and gotta point out, gcd and lcm not the same, gcd(x,y)*lcm(x,y)=x*y (proof left as exercise) | [10:00] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform, at key generation really, classical 1.4.10, snippet here: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GWFnN/?raw=true | [10:01] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform, where the fuck did I say gcd and lcm same?? | [10:01] |
| diana_coman: | phi = (p-1)*(q-1) | [10:01] |
| diana_coman: | lcm = phi / gcd(p-1, q-1) | [10:02] |
| asciilifeform: | possibly i misread the orig comment, where seemed to be used interchangeably | [10:02] |
| diana_coman: | phi and lcm relatively same, NOT lcm and gcd | [10:02] |
| asciilifeform: | ok there it is. | [10:02] |

| btcvixen: | oh neat. | [10:35] |
| btcvixen: | where do I prove I've been naked before? | [10:35] |
| shinohai: | Well in otc you said you were on cam? | [10:36] |
| btcvixen: | yeah | [10:36] |
| btcvixen: | i have cam4 profile, chaturbate profile | [10:36] |
| btcvixen: | pornhub | [10:36] |
| shinohai: | Should be sufficient then | [10:36] |
| btcvixen: | shinohai, can i whore my stuff here? | [10:37] |
| apeloyee: | possible reason for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-08#1766967 is NIST FIPS 186-4: " The exponent d shall be a positive integer value such that 2^(nlen/2) d < LCM(p–1, q–1)" (http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.186-4.pdf#page=62 ) | [10:40] |

| diana_coman: | "where nlen is the appropriate length for the desired security_strength" - where is this wonder in gnupg anyway | [10:42] |
| diana_coman: | apeloyee, I guess that's the how come lcm, because they said so, yes | [10:42] |

| asciilifeform: | diana_coman, apeloyee : it does make d smaller. but as far as i can see it doesn't do anything interesting rsatronically | [10:58] |
| btcvixen: | can i link my chaturbate channel here? | [10:59] |
| asciilifeform: | ( it makes a kochtronic (i.e. variable-width) arithmetron exponentiate faster. but answer is same , as far as i can tell, as if it were not done ) | [10:59] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform, thing is: unlikely to make it much smaller anyway if p and q are chosen randomly, no? | [10:59] |
| diana_coman: | useless at best is how I see it too, yes | [10:59] |
| BingoBoingo: | btcvixen: Probably wouldn't hurt | [10:59] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: it shaves typically 1 bit | [11:00] |
| asciilifeform: | q is odd, p is odd, q-1 - even , p - 1 - even | [11:00] |
| diana_coman: | well yes, gcd at least 2, obv | [11:00] |
| asciilifeform: | their gcd then >=2 | [11:00] |

| asciilifeform: | though it'd be hilarious if there were a subtle bug in mpi fdiv etc. | [11:02] |
| asciilifeform: | i threw away mpi after attempting a very similar exercise to what diana_coman is doing now, and realizing that i'ma prolly never find all of the mines. | [11:03] |

| mircea_popescu: | yeah asciilifeform you should ask me computing things when you don't know what they are. | [12:00] |
| asciilifeform: | aha! | [12:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | because some can be hard/obscure. | [12:00] |

| mircea_popescu: | sure | [12:01] |
| shinohai: | Precisely how large are those tits ffs ? | [12:01] |
| btcvixen: | actually i might skip that part since it's hard enough to write numbers mirrored on my own tits | [12:02] |
| btcvixen: | mircea_popescu, case sensitive? | [12:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | either way | [12:02] |

| btcvixen: | i can show you that | [12:16] |
| btcvixen: | do you ask for anyone elses vagina/ | [12:16] |
| btcvixen: | or do you have special rules for me based on a whisper? | [12:16] |

| ben_vulpes: | (all you really need to see are the knuckles hue) | [12:17] |
| btcvixen: | You asked for females to show you tits. I am female, I showed you tits. Why are my real tits less legitimate than a female with silicon tits? | [12:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | btcvixen well, if you're curious about procedure, l1 invalidated your claim and you're sol. kinda how things work here. | [12:17] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes has it 'whisper' was not prompted by a secret dislike of asciilifeform's of people who start with 'b' | [12:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | but procedural approach isn't worth much in the republic anyway. | [12:17] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: first people whose names start with 't' and now 'b' | [12:18] |
| asciilifeform: | lolaha | [12:18] |
| ben_vulpes: | clearly a tigot | [12:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | btcvixen no, the substantive issue is that you are not female you would like to be, which is fine, but it doesn't do anything. | [12:18] |
| btcvixen: | but i am female | [12:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | do you understand what "female" means ? | [12:18] |
| asciilifeform: | and i'ma rhinoceros! | [12:18] |
| btcvixen: | i would have been fine if ben_vulpes did not blow up my spot. | [12:18] |
| ben_vulpes: | excuse me? | [12:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | the fact thjat you might've gotten away with fraud doesn't actually change the argument. | [12:19] |
| btcvixen: | it's not fraud, i am who i am. | [12:19] |
| btcvixen: | I am female. | [12:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | no. | [12:19] |
| btcvixen: | shinohai, did you purposefully bring me here to mock me? | [12:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | the claim "i am female" is fraudulent you are male and will die male. this is something decided at birth and unalterable. | [12:19] |
| btcvixen: | is this the purpose of your whole little thing? | [12:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | if you are confused on the matter, pick a cell and a chromosome count kid, see if the sex chromosome is xx or xy. | [12:20] |
| btcvixen: | why is it when i am hormonally female i function so much more clearly and feel so much more comfortable | [12:20] |
| btcvixen: | there's XX males and XY females | [12:20] |
| btcvixen: | XXY | [12:20] |
| btcvixen: | just because your personal philosophy doesn't accept who i am as a person doesn't invalidate me or my identity. | [12:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | btcvixen no, actually, nobody gives a shit about the obscure "i am genderconfused" demo either. the purpose is for the ~5bn extand females to earn a penny the 50k or whatever overfed white boys with too much tiome on their time isn't foremost on anyone's mind. | [12:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | btcvixen my personal philosophy doesn't enter into any of this. | [12:21] |
| btcvixen: | Yes it does, as my government id says "Sex: F" | [12:21] |
| btcvixen: | and you are denying me what you asked for females | [12:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | your government is about as interesting as one instance of dorks playing monopoly. | [12:21] |
| asciilifeform: | and ihear in europistan you can get 'Sex: martian' nao | [12:22] |
| btcvixen: | where do you get off on this? | [12:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | now -- stop making fraudulent claims, and find something useful to do for yourslef, there's more in the republic than titswriting. | [12:22] |
| btcvixen: | i did what you asked for, why not extend yourself as promised. I told you who I am. I know who I am. | [12:22] |
| btcvixen: | just because you say otherwise doesn't mean anything. You may have money but the one thing you don't have is authority over my identity. | [12:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | if you persist i'll also negrate you. | [12:22] |
| btcvixen: | I know who I am, and any little opinion you have is worthless to me. | [12:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | aite then. | [12:23] |
| btcvixen: | My mind, my strength, and my integrity are worth far more than those 2 bitcents of pittance you offer me. | [12:23] |
| shinohai: | btcvixen: nope, but the heroin story was grand. | [12:23] |

| mircea_popescu: | i confess it FEELS like 100k. | [19:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | but... maybe in time. | [19:55] |

| hanbot: | mircea_popescu do you see a specific advantage it'd offer? | [20:02] |
| hanbot: | yeah cross-referencing could get...noodly | [20:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, to the sort of people who have it preloaded in their heads, it'd offer an advantage of convenience. also perhaps machine-classifiable. | [20:03] |
| * mircea_popescu | has toyed with the idea of replacing current "Categories" with some kind of dewey-ism. | [20:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | tho it'd get gnarly. | [20:05] |
| hanbot: | also not sure it's sufficiently detailed to handle the occult topics...what is the number for anal torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow | [20:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | (tbh, i think it's somewhat shameful the item doesn't come preloaded as a default in wordpress it SHOULD by rights, that's what fucking culture is about in the first place, offer the classes preloaded ffs.) | [20:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | hanbot it can get pretty fucking 9 digit detailed. i just vaguely remember the general leads | [20:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | and some narrower interest lengthier classes. | [20:06] |
| BingoBoingo: | <hanbot> also not sure it's sufficiently detailed to handle the occult topics...what is the number for anal torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow << It's there. The time consuming part is the cutter numbers after the . | [20:07] |

| asciilifeform: | in other experimental noose, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-06#1766135 >> -gnatp ( max danger moad ) is ~2x measured speedup. | [20:15] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-01-06 23:05 asciilifeform: btw i prolly oughta have mentioned, the timing figures (not only in ch6, but all posted to date) presume that ~all~ bounds-checks remain enabled. | [20:15] |
| BingoBoingo: | Well, years ago | [20:15] |
| asciilifeform: | ( see also https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.1/gnat_ugn_unw/Run_002dTime-Checks.html ) | [20:16] |
| shinohai: | Just read your post .... nifty work hanbot! | [20:23] |
| mod6: | asciilifeform: you're gonna do the asm unroll with the bounds checks tho right/ | [20:33] |
| asciilifeform: | unroll? | [20:34] |
| asciilifeform: | experiment was in re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-06#1766136 . | [20:35] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-01-06 23:05 asciilifeform: if one is satisfied with the nonoverflowability of the array refs , under all possible inputs , it is possible to yank'em. and get order-of-magnitude speedup. | [20:35] |
| asciilifeform: | figure applies to errything. i.e. for any given nontrivial ada proggy, the cost of the checks is about 2x. | [20:36] |
| asciilifeform: | ffa is one of the very few ( i dun expect to see another ) proggies where you can prove bounds. because the array indices do not EVER depend on the inputs. | [20:37] |
| asciilifeform: | ( ffa specifically. in ffa_calc, very obviously they do , in the stack mechanism . however the inner loops, i.e. 99.9999...% of the time is spent, in ffa proper. ) | [20:38] |
| asciilifeform: | this being said, whether to build with -gnatp is personal choice of the operator. not mine. | [20:39] |
| mod6: | i may be mis-remembering this, just thought there was a plan to take the disassembly and produce asm that you would then fabricate possibly? | [20:39] |
| mod6: | or did i hallucinate that? | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: separate project. | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: in a from-the-ground asming, you dun need to do the ruinously expensive synthetic carryflag thing | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | and yes you also get to unroll for particular bitness | [20:39] |
| mod6: | ahh gotcha. | [20:39] |
| mod6: | ok | [20:40] |
| asciilifeform: | it is worth to keep in mind that ffa is , to steal from knuth, 'for readers to read first, and for machine to execute second' | [20:41] |
| asciilifeform: | it is a simple guide to the making of sane arithmetron. that can be hand-compiled with reasonable effort to whatever arch. | [20:41] |
| asciilifeform: | without an ada compiler at all. | [20:42] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: the discussion of disassembly was a separate one, concerning audit of 'wtf actually comes out of this-here gnat' | [20:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | in fact all code is first and foremost literary work. that (some of it) machines can run is about as interesting as which kinds of smoothies flies favour. | [20:44] |
| asciilifeform: | aha. given correct human-readables, you can always make a mechanism. but very muchly not vice-versa | [20:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | quite. | [20:45] |
| mod6: | werd. | [20:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | also re "epicycles", should prolly link http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1487207 (or the other one, iirc we had a better discussion somewhewre as to how actual clocks were "hacked" over time to catch up with the moving solar function, resulting in these cvasi-organic piles of patches upon patches making the original mechanism barely comprehensible). imo the better example anyone who's seen a medieval clock can't help but b | [20:53] |

| mircea_popescu: | the point is to force the sort of people who are actually insane out of the production process entirely and to keep them out permanently. | [20:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | consider : if microsoft word worked correctly, I WOULDN'T EVEN NEED TO READ ITS CODE. not because "oh, practically no need" but because I WOULD ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT SAID. because there's no other way to say it. | [20:57] |
