BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol but i can live in refrigerator crate for phree. dun need to pay 3k dubloon. << To live in refrigerator crate in MVD requires constant vigilance and learning Pichi cultural competence
asciilifeform: lol but i can live in refrigerator crate for phree. dun need to pay 3k dubloon.
asciilifeform: ( i think places like that were converted coachman's quarters )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma bet that's either a rent price , a misprint, or a bold lie
asciilifeform: if i had with what to experiment, would prolly not resist temptation and go , experiment
asciilifeform: i can already picture idjit owner, 'i will sell! one day! this warehouse! and buy miami ticket!'
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i have nfi who and why would pay that for a 2room orc box << That's the ask. It's a sale not a rental. Gotta break some balls
asciilifeform: i have nfi who and why would pay that for a 2room orc box
asciilifeform: ( whether there'll be a third time, i have nfi, possibly thing has no moar life juice remaining to stand up a third time )
asciilifeform: ( it dun help that asciilifeform's jp is ~on par with a kindergartener's. slowly works on fixing this, but it's a far backburner item and i dun expect to get far in the near fyootoor )
asciilifeform: even from xerox's lispm i was able to find moar.

asciilifeform: if it's the latter, i won't bother to report
danielpbarron: yeah, i don't want to offend people over things that aren't nessessary (the Gospel is offensive enough)
asciilifeform: ^ orig didn't rhyme worth half a shit, i tried to fix bug.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a biz, there are folx who do it, i've talked to half dozen of'em last yr ( all in cn , 0 in latrine america ) -- but i dun presently know how to break into it ☟︎
asciilifeform: prolly i oughta point out that a '90s surplus SEM won't do jack against 2000s-era ics
asciilifeform: i kinda suspect that if there's a pro microscopist reading these threads, he's busting his gut laughing just like surgeon may have laughed at the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-16#1739725 thread ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 23:13 mircea_popescu: but if i buy coffee grinder for factory, it is to work at all times, and girls will change their schedule to keep it going, not it to accomodate them.
asciilifeform: i dun have a moolah empire that could run one as public service.
asciilifeform: i'ma leave this one to the experts.
asciilifeform: ( as i understand , it's a++ real estate, supposing you were to redditbag all of the bipedals )
asciilifeform: they like the lolcat exactly where he is, i suspect.
asciilifeform: i have difficulty picture how it couldn't, if wanted.

asciilifeform: for some reason i immediately picture that story where 'abrams' tank was smuggled to su in diplo-crates, piecemeal ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( even supposing i devise a means of teleporting one to BingoBoingostan ) << Slow boat with your workshop
asciilifeform: ( even supposing i devise a means of teleporting one to BingoBoingostan )
asciilifeform: and i aint got 30% of the 400k they'd think it costs.
asciilifeform: i dun think they'd swallow a 'this is worth 500, rly, srsly' 'receipt' for it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> prolly oughta add that surplus SEM in particular ( and similar irons ) 1) generally live in usa 2) dun exactly fit in smuggle-trunk under old shirts << If you can produce an invoice I can recieve it as a prepackaged good
asciilifeform: i still can't fucking believe that d00d. 'my experiment requires 3 litres of virgin tears' 'hey al, i took 300 virgins and ran then rom-coms until they cried 3L, here it is in a mason jar' 'but! reasons!' ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'd like uruguay, or antarctica, or just about anywhere.
asciilifeform: if i had the floor space, would just pick up surplus SEM, it costs approx same as ~good~ optic funnily enuff
asciilifeform: ( i'm assuming, with microscope barrel mount ? )
SeanRiddle: When I starting posting pics I was hosting my domain at home and the big pics would kill my access. blogspot limits the max size, so I uploaded to wikimedia. Now I'm using a real web host, so I guess I could put everything there.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-30 19:52 SeanRiddle: That's the lo-res pic. Wikimedia sometimes chokes on my big pics, and I have to upload smaller ones. Go down to the File History and there's a link to a 43Kx45K pixel pic.
SeanRiddle: I haven't. Fiji can do focus stacking, but I haven't tried that yet. I've got an XY table and I rigged a stepper to the focus knob, so I could take n pics at different focus for each tile.
mircea_popescu: i will take my chances on these four deuces. "engineers", i know what this means.
asciilifeform: just like i do when laying out PCB for e.g. FG
asciilifeform: i dun find it esp. difficult to swallow, ~100% of iron since 1990 or so was made this way.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe.
mircea_popescu: i bet you what you want you'll find hand massage in bolix.
asciilifeform: i was about to answe this:
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 19:24 asciilifeform: on other front, phf : on occasion of the most recent bolix thread , i went and looked again at the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1771955 artifact ; it is interesting that they provided 128 iron types, incl. bignum, but not a 'bignum of fixed N words'. i guess in '80s ~nobody was thinking of crypto at all. ( and i was prolly unduly pessimistic to the orig finder of $item, it is prolly 95% of what's needed for cycle-accurate clone.
mircea_popescu: i agree it can. i also think it can result in some pretty lulzy "electrolytes that plants need".
mircea_popescu: i hereby dub one possible end result of this process "the bugbolix plague".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope, gotta preprocess the thing to get a draft netlist (i.e. what's connected to what) and only then can walk the photos to search for barfolade
mircea_popescu: but i mean... you don't even have the spec against which to check this "works" ?
asciilifeform: ( i.e. you don't, not till you actually bake a working and satisfying cloned circuit )
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe i'm just not grasping something fundamental. but it seems to me that for reversing work, 2400 pics with margins beats a 600mb monstrosity.
mircea_popescu: you know, i think he actually has a point ?
asciilifeform: i was gonna have the thing xrayed, to learn the truth, but this also not done yet.
SeanRiddle: I can see traces on the pin side, making me think that the die bonds to them and the heatsink on top is the bottom of the die.
SeanRiddle: Looking at the package, I'm guessing the protrusion on the bottom would pop off, revealing the top of the die.
SeanRiddle: Yeah, I'd be too nervous anyway!
asciilifeform: if i had 5 or 6 of the 'ivories' i would happily give 1 to SeanRiddle , ftr. but currently must pass.
SeanRiddle: Heh - I was not told the value! Why not use a pro decapper? But you wouldn't torch that package.
asciilifeform: SeanRiddle: just so you're aware of the orig subj -- the ic we were looking to see decapped is worth mebbe 10,000 $ ea. ( and at that, i have 0 guarantee of being able to find more . ever. ) i have a grand total of 2.
SeanRiddle: I have not.
SeanRiddle: That one was a blowtorch decap, so some of the dirt is residue from the plastic encapsulation. I can clean that with HN03.
SeanRiddle: I haven't but https://plus.google.com/103546033861220813867
SeanRiddle: I'm taking jpgs with the camera and then stitching those with fiji. It looks as good to me as using RAW, but a lot easier.
asciilifeform: i had that thing, but it certainly didn't take 43k x 43k photos. didja stitch'em ?
SeanRiddle: That's the lo-res pic. Wikimedia sometimes chokes on my big pics, and I have to upload smaller ones. Go down to the File History and there's a link to a 43Kx45K pixel pic. ☟︎
asciilifeform: iirc i posted my solver, but for somereason cannot find in log, so will repost, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/4TeLb/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i guess, if there's any hero waiting in the wings to cut teeth on some code... it's not THAT intricate.
asciilifeform: it's a good try, but i dunno that this is usable for re.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-30#1876486 >> notbad, e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Oki_m6283_metal.jpg , but still can't see individual transistors there, unless i'm missing sumthing ☝︎

asciilifeform: current mit is a kind of nursing home, as i gather
amberglint: from what I know, he's back at MIT
asciilifeform: amberglint: he's 1 of the folx i've tried writing to, in past yrs, perhaps you'll have better luck than i
amberglint: asciilifeform: I'll try to ask Howard Shrobe about the layers, maybe he still remembers if he deigns to answer
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-30#1876406 I won't get a chance to look at this until signed up with new daily bread overlord ☝︎☟︎
