amberglint: I wrote him an email, and he said he'd be happy to do it
amberglint: hopefully he won't lose interest if I make him go through the standard procedure here
amberglint: "I do have to warn that although I’ve had very good luck decapping chips and getting pictures, I have had some failures and there is always the possibility that I could damage the chip so badly that pictures would not be useful."
amberglint: he did a lot of decappings, so I think he's not too bad
amberglint: haven't asked that yet, but he did transcribe a ROM so I guess he has higher res ones
amberglint: I mentioned in the email that the chip is 1uM, he did not object
phf: asciilifeform: before you agree to a decap, give me some more time to get you the docs, maybe they'll be enough to get things going. i'd hate to lose an ivory to get some pretty but useless pictures, i'd rather it fry on a breadboard in the process of directed discovery
phf: busywait, cadr particularly is full of it. and yes reliance on particular cpu timing. i suspect there's a limited amount of it, but enough to make fast emulation buggy
phf: there's a few photos that i took, but they are somewhere in the pile
phf: asciilifeform: that's for the logs, i just thought it was a particularly goofy picture

mircea_popescu: (doesn't have to be stereo or live or anything. just take multiple photos ~in multiple lights~ and then have a computer diff the results, same end product)
mircea_popescu: you put in a violet source, take a pic. next you put in a green source, take a pic. next, yellow and red.
mircea_popescu: THEN you reconstruct the ~real~ edges of a material, to get a better resolution final pic.
mircea_popescu: of course it does, we had something like this because shitty microscope on fog room.
mircea_popescu: not like it costs anything. though-- i expect the software doesn't actually exist.
mircea_popescu: yeah. minus possible "oh, really, you know what ? shoulda taken them ~like this~" backflow.
mircea_popescu: not bloody likely, physics is physics, but sometimes soft edges, "you'd gain a 20% benefit for a 1% cost" you don't see till you see it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, do it on z80s with out of focus microscope. same deal.
mircea_popescu: if you say i believe. anyway, above described approach really should be the standard. if it isn't / until it is, i'd say premature to decap ivories.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the WHOLE thing is the posturing involved. it really sticks in teh usg's craw whenever it runs into real world not giving a shit about what its mommy told it.
mircea_popescu: hence if you recall one of the few decent orwell pieces
mircea_popescu: anyway, he pretty much has it -- the "no" is deeply corrosive for the fucktarded brain. and the model exactly is, coddled mommyboi goes out of fenced area and gets assraped.
mircea_popescu: The corrosive psychological effect of nyet on the American hegemonic psyche cannot be underestimated. If you are supposed to think and act like a hegemon, but only the thinking part still works, then the result is cognitive dissonance. If your job is to bully nations around, and the nations can no longer be bullied, then your job becomes a joke, and you turn into a mental patient. << pretty much exact.
