00:23 mats my apologies for the delayed report. i attempted the esp8266 experiment with a rigol ds1054z, only to discover the standard probe isn't sensitive enough
00:24 mats after some false starts, i've made arrangements to briefly return to hk in the spring and begin the process to acquire a permanent id card, after applying for the right to abode, which should have no issues as i was born there
00:26 mats i also expect to have no issues acquiring a tw passport, and will be available for republican business if its asked of me
00:33 mats flights are surprisingly cheap, LAX to HKG nonstop (roundtrip) is ~$500
00:36 mats once i have my tw passport, i will be able to apply for an MTP (mainland travel permit), which will allow for 90d stays in china proper
00:39 mircea_popescu o nice mats
00:39 mats i believe there is an equivalent for hk, but my intentions are to stay in tw, due to familial contacts in the area, as well as comparatively lower cost of living
00:40 mircea_popescu tw works just fine. say when you got the mtp thing, i suspect we'll have some t for you to do.
00:43 mats will do

14:59 lobbes I just made a tiny fix to auctionbot. Everything seems to be working well and I don't anticipate any problems. Still, I'll be around for the rest of today in case there are.
14:59 lobbes (for the curious: I had overlooked the fact that when a "buy" type auction ends the usual messaging (e.g. "...Item SOLD to Person for...") had to change to reflect this (i.e. had to change it to "...Item SOLD --by-- Person for..."))
14:59 * lobbes wonders if this is actually a bug in the english language. Closest word I could think of to denote both "to/by" was "via", but that does not really work in this case
15:03 mircea_popescu imo it's a feature.

16:02 asciilifeform lol why ty phf .
16:03 asciilifeform the top can actually is available in usa; the bottom is slightly diff brand that what i get here, would be interesting to compare.
16:03 phf there's a dozen of different brands for both, i'll have to sample them all until i figure out the most authentic flavor
16:04 phf diana_coman: i've updated all the available sigs
16:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what's a tiris-grapis ?
16:05 diana_coman phf, thanks!
16:05 asciilifeform phf: fwiw i bought 5 types of sprat in ro, and only 1 was up to spec, and even that -- barely
16:05 asciilifeform ( they dun sell the 'gost' godly round can from riga, why -- i do not know )
16:06 phf asciilifeform: i've noticed that with some of the products here, a lot of them have GoST as a kind of branding, since i suspect it's barely regulated, but the quality of substandard.
16:07 asciilifeform aha, it dun say ~which~ gost, does it.
16:07 asciilifeform for all we know, it's the 'can is 30mm +/- 1' one.
16:09 phf this one is gost 280-2009, i'm not a visual machine at the moment to track it down though
16:09 asciilifeform http://docs.cntd.ru/document/gost-280-2009 apparently
16:09 asciilifeform 'Canned smoked fish. Sprats in oil. Specifications'
16:09 asciilifeform i had nfi
16:10 diana_coman milk and sprats, such care; where's the caviar :p
16:10 asciilifeform diana_coman: funnily enuff i have 0prob getting that here
16:10 diana_coman and what, do you have problem getting sprats??
16:11 asciilifeform diana_coman: as such -- no; but quality quite variable
16:11 asciilifeform here they import whatever the baltic muppet states offer directly
16:12 diana_coman also for different asciilifeform -care: www.vidra-orastie.com/caciuli/caciuli-rusesti
16:12 asciilifeform diana_coman: funniy enuff i loaded up on those in ro
16:12 asciilifeform a++ quality, fur not flaked off yet
16:12 asciilifeform ( unlike ~erry single american-sold variant i've ever had )
16:12 diana_coman well fur fine but...why *those*, lol
16:13 asciilifeform not those specifically, but various fur hat. incl. the archaetypical 'ceausescu hat'
16:13 diana_coman not as if there's no choice of fur hats; those remind me of the old one in which my great-grandmother kept newly hatched chicken to keep them warm, lol
16:14 asciilifeform it's somewhat funny also because asciilifeform's parents, 3 decades ago, went to ro also for clothing/shoes
16:14 asciilifeform and they beat the shit out of what was avail locally
16:14 asciilifeform nao asciilifeform does same thing..
16:14 asciilifeform diana_coman: i dun keep chickens but imagine it'd work great, lol
16:15 phf diana_coman: heh, the chicken in a fur hat story was passed on in my family also
16:15 diana_coman phf, I saw it! repeatedly even
16:15 asciilifeform ( neighbour -- does keep chickens. used to be entirely unheard of in city here, but naodays local polizei close eyes to livestock (tho theoretically banned) for so long as it aint a pig )
16:16 diana_coman I got to know my great-grandmother and she lived in the countryside, in the plains too (where it gets scorching hot in the summer and bitterly cold in winter)
16:16 phf diana_coman: my great-grandparents were all moved into the city by the time i was a grownup, they could only recall the olden days, not really demonstrate them
16:17 diana_coman asciilifeform, you know, that sounds like good-old commie style: it's banned, but local police will close eyes for so long as x
16:17 asciilifeform asciilifeform's most recent livestock-keeping ancestor died during reign of hruschev , so sadly cannot eruditely add to chicken thread
16:17 phf asciilifeform: it's a thing in san francisco apparently, saw it in two different tech komunalkas
16:18 asciilifeform phf: lol! where'd they keep'em? on balcony?!
16:18 * diana_coman can picture asciilifeform's chicken-holding out of c101pa and similar
16:19 phf they are sf houses, for a large family, or 5 roommates (+ their poorer, semi permanently present partners). they have small-ish backyards, where you can have a small coup

20:37 asciilifeform *link
20:37 mircea_popescu aite.
20:40 asciilifeform meanwhile in ch.14 sneak peeks, modex(2048bit) : 0.296s , 4096bit : 1.786s , 8192bit : 10.766s .
20:41 mircea_popescu not even terrible.
20:41 asciilifeform ( compare vs http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/ch12b_exp_timing.png )
20:41 mircea_popescu aha.
20:42 asciilifeform the bad noose is that this was the last order-of-magnitude speedup up asciilifeform's sleeve
20:42 asciilifeform errything after, will be linear (e.g. asm mul, in the end, unrolled comba, etc)
20:42 mircea_popescu yeah, but by now it's in livable range.
20:43 asciilifeform the linears, i expect, will cut another ~tenfold
20:43 mircea_popescu besides, halves every 18 months rite.
20:43 asciilifeform lol
20:43 asciilifeform where's livable and where -- not, will depend on application.
20:45 asciilifeform for mircea_popescu's in particular, if you shorten the pubexp , you speed up (encipherment strictly) by b/exp, where b is bitness and exp is max len of your exp, times.
20:46 asciilifeform e.g. for mircea_popescu's euloratron, his exp is 64bits, and his pubkeys iirc round to 4096b, so that'll be a 0.028s encipherment.
20:47 asciilifeform for ~decipherment~ if one were to use crt, that'd be a 2 * 0.296 = 0.592s .
20:48 mircea_popescu !Qcalc 1872/2048 * 0.296
20:48 lobbesbot mircea_popescu: 0.2705625
20:48 asciilifeform ( granted, this figure does not include hashism, but hashism is a O(N) op )
20:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, 1872 bit keys iirc.
20:48 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ah so take the 2048 figure as base then
20:48 mircea_popescu yea
20:49 asciilifeform then will be 0.296 * ( 64 / 2048 ) = ~0.009 encrypt , and as for decrypts with crt,
20:50 mircea_popescu yeah, not bad.
20:50 asciilifeform 1024b (full width) currently 0.295s (exercise for reader -- why almost same as 2048?)
20:51 asciilifeform so given that factors of a 1872b key fit in 1024b ea., double of above will be your encrypt, approx, time.
20:51 asciilifeform err, decrypt
20:51 asciilifeform i.e. ~same as if you had 4096b keys (i.e. 2048b p and q)
20:52 asciilifeform all of these figs strictly concerning ch14, with no other optimiz.
20:53 asciilifeform ( and performed, as ch1-13 were, on asciilifeform's quite aged opteron, ~2009 )
20:55 asciilifeform on, e.g., 64bit 'i7', goes roughly 2x of this speed.
20:55 asciilifeform ( if one is ready to jump with the parachute, and switch off boundary tests, that gives you another 2x )
20:56 asciilifeform ^ which is about on par with koch's, interestingly
20:56 asciilifeform koch loses surprising amt of cycles to variablewidthisms/heapism.
20:57 asciilifeform ( for n00bz, will point out -- if one is satisfied with the correctness of the algos, the bound tests dun do anyffing useful )
20:58 asciilifeform perhaps after coupla yrs of quality folx reading the thing, and live fire in battlefield, some folx will dare to switch'em off.
20:58 mircea_popescu in other news, i've made such chicken shorba a la grec as was never seen in the new world. off to partake.
20:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: enjoy
