asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: briefly revisiting the ablative microtome thing: betcha you could read the cross-section via purely electrical means. (there are four substances: n-doped si, p-doped si, isolator si, and metal. these are readily distinguishable without resorting to fancy optics, electron beam, or anything of the kind, just need sliding probe)

asciilifeform: weeks.

asciilifeform: it cools by conduction, through the die, down into the anvil.

asciilifeform: noooo you don't do this under gas. you do it under hard vacuum. so it sublimates.

asciilifeform: like normal people.

asciilifeform: well that's why you do a cratefull, not 1 die.

asciilifeform: do it from the ~edge~ side of the chip. and this way surface/vol. ratio favours cooling also.

asciilifeform: you want controlled ablation, not slices, here.

asciilifeform: for solids at any rate.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: laser in vacuum is pretty good microtome.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mega-story btw

asciilifeform: literally turn the problem on its side.

asciilifeform: ic reversers sweat over cauldrons of hot acids, fiddle with ion beams, etc. but: one thing i've always wondered re subj is whether anybody's tried... microtome! then you dun care how many layers there are, and of what. just blast away the edge, and scan THAT! a few 100 atoms at a time.

asciilifeform: humanlike bot will not go straight to 'solution' on any obvious hill-climbing path, but will artfully dig itself holes to then artfully climb out of, like meat does.
