• SKDB (Spacecraft Knowledge Database) is evolving into a full open-source CAD/assembly stack: recent commits add Python-OCC-based 4×4 homogeneous transforms, YAML part definitions, and an interactive IPython shell (`pymates.demo()` / `demo2()`) for real-time 3-D part placement and rotation.

• A “speechless speech” interface was proposed that uses surface EMG electrodes on the larynx to detect subvocal muscle patterns, bin them into discrete notes, and output either MIDI or text—doubling as a silent musical instrument or training tool.

• Participants explored using CT x-ray scans to auto-generate exploded-line CAD diagrams of complex objects, arguing that high-resolution volumetric data could replace manual disassembly and modeling for reverse-engineering and documentation.

• The channel crowdsourced a practical guide to merging unrelated Git repositories, including kanzure’s custom `git-import-folder` script and step-by-step recipes from simplicidade.org, wingolog.org, and aartemenko.com, plus live debugging of CIA.vc IRC commit hooks and djangit wiki fixes.

• A curated list of DIY-bio and transhumanist technologies was mined from postbiota.org: SU-8 microfluidics, PEG nanowells for single-virus trapping, light-inducible gene silencing, protein-only induced pluripotency, MRI reporter genes (MagA), synthetic glyoxylate-shunt obesity-resistant mice, plant root-exudate bioreactors, and a .22-caliber DNA ballistic gene-delivery gun.
