- EvolvedMachines.com’s visually polished but long-stagnant demo videos (last updated March 2010) were flagged as a cautionary example of stalled transhumanist hardware projects.  
- A practical lab tip distinguished PCR amplification (requires dNTPs) from Sanger sequencing (uses chain-terminating ddNTPs), underscoring the importance of reagent choice in open-source bio work.  
- kanzure curated a large collection of sci-fi concept art (DeviantArt, ArtStation, r/ImaginaryStarscapes) featuring mechs, cyberpunk megacities, and Star Wars scenes, framing them as aspirational design references for future transhumanist devices.  
- A search for Python-friendly tools to index 29,000 PDFs surfaced Xapian, Lucene, Solr, and Sphinx as viable open-source options for large-scale document mining.  
- kanzure attributed his high-speed, low-error typing to the cognitive load of juggling 40–50 simultaneous chat sessions, offering an anecdotal case study in extreme multitasking as skill training.  
- Mobile-app strategy was debated: kanzure argued for native builds over cross-platform frameworks like Kivy, while heath defended Ionic and planned a future shift to React Native once Android support matures.  
- The real-time Large Hadron Collider operations dashboard (op-webtools.web.cern.ch) was cited as an exemplar of live, large-scale data visualization for inspiration in open science interfaces.  
- Addium, a commercial nootropic stack, was dismissed as overpriced marketing because it conceals individual dosages of otherwise useful compounds (caffeine, GABA, bacopa, alpha-GPC, theanine, phosphatidylserine, tyrosine, vinpocetine, huperzine, niacin, pyridoxine).  
- DIY paperbot delivered a bundle of medical-genetics literature on glycerol kinase deficiency (Lancet, Journal of Child Neurology) archived at diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/paperbot, illustrating ongoing open-access curation efforts.
