07:08 mircea_popescu because that's fucking scandalous to begin with ; and in no case the discussed http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-12#1712957 can possibly take that fucking long.

07:10 mircea_popescu (pro tip : since the modulus is 4096 bits, all powers of two up to 2^4095 are unchanged by modding.)
07:13 mircea_popescu what this means in practice being that "the 4096 bit modulus of a 4096 bit number is obtained through at most one substraction op".

07:34 mircea_popescu the whole fucking POINT of french revolution was "we can make things -- soldiers, arms for those soldiers, culture for their fathers and wives, CHEAPER and MORE ABUNDANT if we chinese it." "but will it be as good ?" "i can't hear you over the kanzure of my superficiality"
07:34 mircea_popescu obviously, it won't be as good, in the obvious sense that you don't need frenchmen to do it, can have it done in yugoslavia cheaper. and by yugoslavia i mean poland which is to say china.
07:35 mircea_popescu which is why it's always poor immigrants, and "3rd world" shitholes. cuz if you approximate a non-closed form solution by the number five, you get a certain set of perked ears, and they're going to always be in the back of the class.
07:38 mircea_popescu in this sense, the perpetual "we don't deal with problems, we try to inflate them away" is a forced mistake of the socialist mind, brought about by its deffective tech stack. what the fuck else are they going to do, the only people to which "french culture" in its jimbo diderot reformulation appeals to are first generation in shoes functional illiterate tards.
07:39 mircea_popescu "it's ok, science will progress so fast nobody will ever wear shoes again!!!". yeah, i'm sure. and then it'll "progress" even faster than that huh.

14:34 mircea_popescu asciilifeform http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/aT4p8/?raw=true
14:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so to try and extract actual reality from this : a ^ b mod m takes 0.26 seconds in koch writing ; same a^b mod m takes 51.3 on your box, notwithstanding a ^ b without any modding takes 1s ?
14:37 asciilifeform this is soup not sense
14:37 mircea_popescu is it or is it not true a modular exponentiation in current gpg takes, on your chosen machine, 0.26 seconds.
14:37 asciilifeform exponentiation WITHOUT DIVISIONS (i.e. nonomodular, or modulo the set ffawidth, in this case 4096) takes 0.26
14:38 asciilifeform same WITH divisions, i.e. modular, takes 51.3.
14:38 mircea_popescu so, calculating a ^ b is 0.26s ; calculating a ^ b mod m is 51.3s.
14:38 asciilifeform koch is neither here nor there, was not part of the measurements, nor is possible to compare because it does not actually do the same job
14:38 asciilifeform ( kochian modexp stops at the last 1bit )
14:38 mircea_popescu sooo.... calculating a ^ b is 0.26s ; calculating a ^ b mod m is 51.3s.
14:39 asciilifeform a ^ b mod 2**4096 , rather than a^b ( which our galaxy hasn't enough atoms to represent for 4096bit a and b )
14:40 asciilifeform and in case it isn't clear, the 51+ is using the slowest known method.
14:40 mircea_popescu soooOOOOooooOOOO.... calculating a ^ b is 0.26s ; calculating a ^ b mod m is 51.3s.
14:40 mircea_popescu you will refuse to be useful how many times in a row ?
14:40 mircea_popescu i dunno what you think the behaviour preserves, but i can assure you it doesn't.
14:41 asciilifeform why do you insist on repeating a mathematically false summary ?
14:41 mircea_popescu cuz your production does not fit the requisite form. produce item in requisite form, will gladly use that.
14:41 asciilifeform FZ_Exp does not calculate a^b, it calculates a^b modulo ffawidth. this is important difference.
14:41 mircea_popescu so then! calculating a ^ b mod 2^4096 is 0.26s ; calculating a ^ b mod m is 51.3s. that it ?
14:42 asciilifeform ( i don't own a box with 4096**4096 bits of memory, and neither does beelzebub )
14:42 mircea_popescu that's neither here nor there.
14:42 asciilifeform correct. the latter when using the method depicted in the snapshot.
14:42 asciilifeform gotta nail down this difference, because it makes a difference ( in that you cannot exponentiate-and-then-modulus, universe ain't big enough , hence the invention of mod-exp )
14:43 mircea_popescu fine. and the reason your mod does not reduce to "At most one substraction op" is "because i believe the product of two prime numbers 2kb each can in fact be less than 2^4095". that it ?
14:43 asciilifeform my mod is using knuth's simplest (aka egyptian) div method.
14:44 asciilifeform which is B subtractions, when B is bitness.
14:44 asciilifeform i think we had this in detail
14:44 mircea_popescu yes, but as long as you do rsa, a ^ b mod m = either a ^ b or else, a ^ b - m. that's the complete story, there are no other cases. there's specifically no k * m parameter to be explored there.
14:44 asciilifeform this is nonsense.
14:44 asciilifeform and is of the bottle.
14:45 mircea_popescu howssat ?
14:45 mircea_popescu oh doh.
14:45 mircea_popescu complete nonsense, nm.
14:46 asciilifeform hey i'd be the first to applaud if mircea_popescu came up with magical algo that reduces cpu work to ~0 !
14:46 mircea_popescu ME TOO!\
14:46 asciilifeform but nomagicinthisworld, damn.
14:46 mircea_popescu but no, this dead branch has been fully explored, nothing here.
14:46 asciilifeform anyway this was not a sexy/exciting report, it is just to share what was the baseline ( saddest known algo )
14:54 mircea_popescu precalculating 4k mods of 4 to 8kb single-bit items is a pain in teh arse even in simple space terms, what, ima have 16MB worth of ram/disk dedicated to just this PER mod ?
14:55 mircea_popescu tbh i liked my "all items are 4096 bit" world way better and wtf is this "multiplication doubles width" bs anyway!
14:56 asciilifeform can't do tables. period. they result in addressing-by-secretbits and leak timing from cache.
14:57 asciilifeform there are no tables in ffa, and an ffa with a table is pointless ( if you access leaklessly, by chugging whole table each time ( we had thread ) you wipe out the time saving. )
15:07 asciilifeform incidentally, if you're willing to leak the height of the last set bit in the exponent, you cut the cost even of naive method above, linearly ( e.g. the typical gpg exponent is 17 bits ) -- but i'd very much rather not
15:08 asciilifeform naturally this is for the public exponent op only
15:08 asciilifeform and would not help the private exponent op ( where one would want to leak nothing at all )
15:08 asciilifeform and at any rate the 'f' in ffa -- stays.
15:18 asciilifeform incidentally also worth remembering is that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-10#1681224 .
15:18 a111 Logged on 2017-07-10 19:33 asciilifeform: sooo a 4096b rsa key takes about a dozen modexp's, on avg, on gpg 1.4.10
15:19 asciilifeform which means that even a minute-long modexp is theoretically fieldable ( you get ~day-long keygen, and minute-per-4096bits decrypt/encrypt, but this is livable, ancestors lived with much slower hand-cranked otp )

15:55 mircea_popescu much like the russkis, what these other marginal orcs have to show for "their great empire" is a barely functional bezzle scheme. i don't even mean the financial part, intellectually speaking the whole us can be comfortably sat down in two lines' worth of "don't say nigger and state-god will provide", which is what, somehow different from "quote marx and wait for moscow" ?
15:56 shinohai "Quote logz and get off yer ass and do shit"

15:56 mircea_popescu shinohai :p
15:56 asciilifeform it still remains to be seen whether industrial civs can in principle outlast su
15:57 mircea_popescu europe has been an industrial civ for ~3 centuries now.
15:57 mircea_popescu heck, the swedes are so advanced in germansystem they don't even need money anymore!
16:00 mircea_popescu (the measure for "industrial civ" here used is, the type of answer to the problem of "i need three times the force". if it's "hire three times the coolies/horses/etc then pre-ind civ ; if it's "build bigger machine" it's industrial civ ; if the question not even conceptualized as such then it's not a civ, like say africa/polynesia/other subhumans)

16:05 mircea_popescu and that's a minor example. consider rothbard's utter failure to mean or matter, as sadly chronicled on trilema. yes, he's intellectually negligible, but the chief problem that renders him moot is the extreme poverty and ineptitude of his references! which is not his problem, but the 1st gen in shoes folks' problem, and the deep reason us can't and hasn't spoken in the forum of human thought.
16:05 mircea_popescu they can't say anything that's worth remembering for the obvious reason that they can't read anything that's already there.

16:17 asciilifeform imho principal problem of usa is whatever environmental pollutant or genetic wtf that keeps'em from learning human languages
16:18 mircea_popescu this could have similarly been said of any of the other examples of history (the selgiuk turks, and the manchuko, readily come to mind)
16:19 mircea_popescu note that for all their "handed everyone their ass, flew to space" accomplishments, neither tribe is remembered today for anything.
16:20 * asciilifeform uses moar sov maths , in daily life, than roman
16:20 mircea_popescu moreover, the issue is purely cultural, which is why the 1st gen in shoes keeps cropping up. trinque manifestly COULD meaningfully learn human lang once separated from his culture, as the logs bear testimony, and this is 1/1 ie 100%.
16:20 mircea_popescu but, as teh old article says, "but then again nothing in the world harder & more obdurate than the limits a brain sets for itself"
16:21 asciilifeform chukcha can also learn. problem is that somebody gotta separate him from the hole in the ground
16:21 asciilifeform and this is not usually +ev
16:21 mircea_popescu separation seems to work splendidly on own power, just as soon as alternative is perceived.
16:22 mircea_popescu but yes, the situation is not symmetrical -- western orcs produced mcmansion where eastern orcs produced very respectable math and literature, which is truly 2nd generation in shoes fare
16:22 mircea_popescu or as ballas put it, "jobs other than science and medicine seem unreal to you"
16:22 asciilifeform 2nd-gen-in-shoes seems to be peak, culturally
16:22 asciilifeform 3rd gen already tends to bostonize
16:22 mircea_popescu well because 3rd gen is so overwhelmingly easy to fuck up.

21:30 asciilifeform but imho usn electric guns oughta be encouraged and cheered, per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-15#1714978 . especially if they cost $B each and run win95
21:30 a111 Logged on 2017-09-15 23:45 asciilifeform: on 2nd thought 'nsa stores packets on dna' is just the right kind of starwars idiocy that oughta be encouraged.
21:31 mats fame and fortune like those anna chapman received, awaits the would-be saboteur
21:31 asciilifeform the funniest bit is that it dun even need a saboteur
21:31 asciilifeform just like the littoral lulzship didn't
21:31 asciilifeform the designer is the best saboteur.
21:33 asciilifeform ( did anybody, for example, test what happens if rails are wet ? encrusted with foreign matter, e.g. soot from fire? 9,000 variants )
21:34 asciilifeform ( https://archive.is/OYckN << sub hero, in case anybody forgot )
21:35 mats ... ordered to pay $400 million in restitution. << hahaha
21:35 asciilifeform iirc thing was later scrapped
21:35 asciilifeform ( some time in '15 )
21:38 mats nobel peace prize committee oughta give him a $1mn cash award, like liu xiaobo received for his work
21:38 asciilifeform hey, if gorby got one, 0 reason why casey fury flickin'his-bic shouldnt
21:39 mats i swear they gave the thing to obama just to piss him off, given its history
21:39 asciilifeform hmm why isn't xiaobo in the l0gz
21:39 asciilifeform pretty sure mircea_popescu had an entire article, in ro no less, about him
21:40 asciilifeform ( tldr for n00bz : xiaobo was the attempt to 'solzhenitsyn' the chinese; it failed, because chinese , turned out, were not sufficiently gullible )
21:40 mats quisling scum that once said china should be colonized by the west for three hundred years
21:40 asciilifeform aha, him
21:40 asciilifeform !#s colonized three hundred
21:40 a111 1 result for "colonized three hundred", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=colonized%20three%20hundred
21:40 asciilifeform hm
21:41 mats most unbelievable part is he couldn't even read/write/speak english
21:41 asciilifeform grrr it WAS in the log somewhere
21:41 asciilifeform there is no requirement that an idjit quisling speak english
21:42 mats also responsible for inciting hundreds of students into action on behalf of usg agitprop that could only be met with tank treads and executions
21:43 asciilifeform aha.
21:44 asciilifeform it is very telling imho that they could not find any d00d of any substantial intellectual caliber, to play this role ( while in su they easily got a saharov & others )
21:44 mats LKY attributes this quote to Deng Xiaoping: "If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it."
21:45 asciilifeform and notably they didn't have to 200k
21:45 asciilifeform breaking spearhead was quite enough.
21:46 asciilifeform the rest of the spear vanished quietly under the rock from whence it crawled, as always does.
21:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform> the funniest bit is that it dun even need a saboteur << not one with an ama, at any rate.
21:47 asciilifeform ama?
21:47 mircea_popescu reddit item
21:47 * asciilifeform genuinely baffled
21:47 mircea_popescu "i am so and so, ask me anything". final development on the whole "we are all one" nonsense.
21:47 asciilifeform aaaaa
21:48 * asciilifeform had quit reddit cold turkey long before those were invented
21:48 mircea_popescu "randomtard could ask meaningful question to $interesting person, who could in turn give out an answer that's both a)something he'd sing and b) something redditard could decode".
21:48 mircea_popescu very popular with comedians, aspiring niggers, etcetera.
21:48 asciilifeform 'but dr knuth, how often you take a shit??'
21:48 mircea_popescu the redditard crowd basically
21:49 asciilifeform pretty lulzy pretense
21:49 mircea_popescu exactklyt that.
21:49 asciilifeform asciilifeform was sometimes genuinely vexed, when collegues & various folx would ask him, 'what would you ask erdos', etc. and they never liked my answer, which is that i have nothing worth asking erdos or gauss or etc
21:50 mircea_popescu exactly. "what would you do if you were in a train compartment with einstein ?" "i'd stfu"
21:51 mircea_popescu imagine, $icon fo all people being spared the specialness of your snowflakeitude for a whole fucking hour! THE HORROR!\
