10:42 asciilifeform ohai amberglint
10:42 amberglint Hello everyone
10:42 amberglint asciilifeform: I found someone who can decap your Ivory: http://www.seanriddle.com/decap.html
10:42 amberglint I wrote him an email, and he said he'd be happy to do it
10:42 amberglint this is the decapping that got me interested, he even transcribed the microcode ROM: http://www.seanriddle.com/scn68000c8n64.html
10:43 asciilifeform amberglint: do ya think you can persuade him to come here ?
10:43 amberglint asciilifeform: I think I can
10:43 asciilifeform good
10:43 asciilifeform let him come, reg his pubkey, get in wot.
10:43 asciilifeform i only got 2 ivories, they're a nonrenewable resource
10:44 amberglint hopefully he won't lose interest if I make him go through the standard procedure here
10:44 asciilifeform took me >10y to get'em, and could take another 20yr to get another.
10:44 asciilifeform amberglint: that's the basic litmus test. if comes, gets in wot, then ~possibly~ serious
10:45 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."
10:45 amberglint he did a lot of decappings, so I think he's not too bad
10:46 asciilifeform i believe
10:46 asciilifeform simply, they're ~priceless rembrandts, and i'd rather not send one to a d00d sight-unseen
10:46 amberglint I understand
10:47 asciilifeform iirc phf already gave one to some d00d who never came back
10:48 asciilifeform the die shots on the linked page look decent, but not high res enuff to actually work from ( is he hard up for hosting, and reluctant to put 500MB photo ? )
10:49 amberglint haven't asked that yet, but he did transcribe a ROM so I guess he has higher res ones
10:50 asciilifeform http://www.seanriddle.com/sc1die.html << suggests that this is the case, the link to 'Here's a 17436x15128 pixel version (HD View on another server)' goes to some microshit site that doesn't actually load for me
10:52 asciilifeform also that signetics is iirc a 3.5uM process. i dunno if he ever did a 1uM die
10:52 asciilifeform ( none of the listed items seems to be even a 2uM, much less 1 )
10:53 amberglint I mentioned in the email that the chip is 1uM, he did not object
10:53 asciilifeform if this were any other ic, i'd say 'gift horse', but in this case 'sapper errs once' ( or , i suppose, twice.. )
10:54 asciilifeform anyway if he comes -- we'll talk
10:54 amberglint good, I'll try to guide him here
10:54 asciilifeform thx amberglint
10:58 asciilifeform ( for n00bz -- decapping, even if done perfectly, is irreversible process, we dun know how many layers even in ivory, and to take pic of n+1st layer gotta dissolve the n-th... )
10:59 asciilifeform and 1uM was just about the last process where optical microscopy yields anyffin
10:59 asciilifeform it's right about on the borderline of what can be done with that instrument
~ 27 minutes ~
11:26 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
~ 30 minutes ~
11:57 asciilifeform phf: aite
11:59 asciilifeform phf: tho imho ideally, we'd still get a decap of #2 after #1 is happily in a ersatz-ivory board and booting the full archaeological soft stack
12:00 asciilifeform ( there could, for instance, be instructions in the physical device that bolix never had a chance to use in os, but exist in some last-days userland proggy like ns etc )
12:01 asciilifeform i also suspect that there is coad that won't work without ~cycle-accurate~ copy of the cpu ( the periodic barfage of the 'official' emulator suggests this -- did they use empty loop delays in place of mutexes, or what, i do not yet know )
12:02 asciilifeform phf: i'm hoping i dun have to wait another full year for those docs...
12:03 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
12:03 asciilifeform i also suspect that this experiment will need the contents of whatever's in those roms on the ivory3
12:04 asciilifeform ( iirc they contain bringup microcoad )
12:09 asciilifeform https://archive.is/jvkUK << photo of ivory-2 . appears to contain 1 rom, prolly no moar than a 32kB, going by the pin count.
12:09 * asciilifeform was never able to find a high-res photo of ivory-3. perhaps phf has ?
12:10 asciilifeform there's a buncha shit-res jpg on the net, but they all have the cache daughterboard mounted, which obscures half of the card
12:12 phf there's a few photos that i took, but they are somewhere in the pile
12:14 phf http://fare.tunes.org/files/pics/lispm/2003-01-19-lispm-fare.jpg << current wrecker of asdf
12:15 asciilifeform yes i know who he is.
12:15 phf asciilifeform: that's for the logs, i just thought it was a particularly goofy picture
12:15 asciilifeform all these folx seem quite alike, 9000 mug shots of grinning muzzle, and 0 highres jpeg of board
12:15 asciilifeform much less rom dump
12:16 asciilifeform ( srsly, nobody has a fiddybux TL866a and 10 minutes and can be arsed ?! )
12:16 asciilifeform it's a socketed rom. if yer hands dun grow from arse, there's 0 risk of killing it

13:14 asciilifeform phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly as far as the moon
13:15 asciilifeform ( for n00bz -- racking an actual bolix is afaik a nonstarter -- the remaining units lack not only the requisite 24/7 reliability / component life , but also any means to cleanly wash the whore between customers, the way i do with e.g rk )
13:17 asciilifeform the mechanics of use is actually 'easy part' -- they take x11 pipe over tcp, and are pretty light on graphics (1bit raster)

13:59 asciilifeform hey, phree coin.
13:59 asciilifeform like the bch thing last yr.
14:00 asciilifeform what's not to like.
14:02 BingoBoingo Well it could be the opportunity for USG to try capturing lords still stuck behind the wire for breaking obscure rules in the where the fuck did that come from book
14:05 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: as mircea_popescu is quite fond of pointing out, they can shoot these any time they like , by 'oops wrong address for swat'; no particular need for oddball new fatwas for that
14:05 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i for instance prolly good for three or four hangings, simply on what's in the l0gz

14:24 asciilifeform btw i'd kinda like to give those ivories to mircea_popescu for safekeep, if he agrees ( they're pocket-sized, so not 'pogo crate' )

14:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform is invited to not get killed.
14:25 asciilifeform well it'd be mircea_popescu's gold then. but if he dun feel like it, is entirely ok.
14:26 mircea_popescu ty, but have some crown jewels. what am i, the inca here ? http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1613027 and all that ?

14:26 mircea_popescu noty.
14:26 asciilifeform aite.
14:27 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875720 << for my own curiosity : do they actually do interferometry when decapping ?
14:27 a111 Logged on 2018-11-28 15:59 asciilifeform: and 1uM was just about the last process where optical microscopy yields anyffin
14:27 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)
14:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: only if there's 2 dies suspected of subtle diff
14:27 mircea_popescu no, to extend the range into heisenberg's lands.
14:27 asciilifeform tho yer thinking of 'comparison microscope' ( like at old-style police stations for ballistics ) rather than interferometer
14:28 mircea_popescu right.
14:28 asciilifeform ah confocal micro ?
14:28 mircea_popescu no.
14:28 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.
14:28 asciilifeform ah not afaik
14:28 mircea_popescu THEN you reconstruct the ~real~ edges of a material, to get a better resolution final pic.
14:29 mircea_popescu can be done with filters, too.
14:29 asciilifeform tho it strikes me as a thing that oughta boost res
14:29 mircea_popescu (on the source, i mean).
14:29 asciilifeform not so much optical microscopy in current-day reversing biz ( not so many people bringing 1980s dies.. )
14:29 mircea_popescu of course it does, we had something like this because shitty microscope on fog room.
14:29 mircea_popescu so had a strobe.
14:30 asciilifeform there's a standard microscope for this, i had one when i used fluorescent markers in meat work
14:30 mircea_popescu im sure there is.
14:30 asciilifeform ( but afaik not sop in ic-rev-for-coin labs currently )
14:30 mircea_popescu by any rights there should be.
14:30 mircea_popescu well... ?
14:30 mircea_popescu not like it costs anything. though-- i expect the software doesn't actually exist.
14:31 asciilifeform software is a 'can write later'. the photo gotta exist 1st.
14:31 mircea_popescu yeah. minus possible "oh, really, you know what ? shoulda taken them ~like this~" backflow.
14:31 asciilifeform right
14:32 asciilifeform hence 'they're nonrenewable, d00d, measure not 7 but 7777 times before cutting 1ce'
14:32 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.
14:32 asciilifeform in a hypothetical peacetime when asciilifeform'd have free hands to do this personally, would start with a crate of less-rare contemporary 1uM die (e.g. 386) 1st
14:33 mircea_popescu yeah, do it on z80s with out of focus microscope. same deal.
14:33 asciilifeform z80 is a much larger-featured item, so not directly applicable. 386/486 is the ticket.
14:34 asciilifeform ( you'd want to test system on sumthing with comparable 'micronicity' )
14:34 asciilifeform if this were a moneyed proj, i'd go straight to the electronists
14:34 asciilifeform slight overkill, but ~guaranteed detail.
14:35 asciilifeform 'ivory' is somewhat unique case, imho, i dun expect to ever run across another 1980s item that even begins to merit this treatment.
14:35 asciilifeform (so developing entire process for 1um dies, prolly not worth the candles)
14:35 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.
14:36 asciilifeform either it or electron is the ticket, aha
14:36 mircea_popescu well yes but 2+ dom difference in cost.
14:36 mircea_popescu (degree of magnitude)
14:36 asciilifeform if i end up doing the job with own hands, it'll be with mircea_popescu's method, i dun have electron microscope or the floor space to erect one
14:38 asciilifeform ( tho what asciilifeform most direly lacks, is the ~time~, hence open to the idea of another pair of hands doing it. just, would MUCH rather it be l1 hands than some ??? folk )

15:03 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.
15:03 mircea_popescu the memory of the delicious anal twinge lingers.
15:04 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.
