- A speculative enzymatic scheme for “iterative in vitro enzyme decoding of an encoded DNA molecule” was outlined: use 16 unnatural nucleotides (one being a NOP), engineer enzymes that fuzzy-match long runs of a given unnatural base and collapse them to a single natural base (A/T/G/C), drop off at NOPs, and later strip all NOPs—though no known enzyme exhibits the required long-range “grab-and-replace” behavior.  
- Discussion of DNA synthesis economics: current ~$0.03/bp commercial prices are dominated by sequencing and assembly overhead, not the inkjet-style oligo printing itself; true inkjet-only costs (no QC, no length limits) remain undocumented.  
- Reference to gene-array formats as the closest analogue to the inkjet scenario, but even Twist’s bulk pricing (hundreds of megabases minimum) is viewed skeptically (“I’ll believe it when I see it”).  
- Brief comparison of combinatorial genome editing via mis-alignment swaps to MAGE (Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering), noting that tracking all resulting combinations would be non-trivial.  
- Wiki links shared for background on error-correcting codes: repetition codes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetition_code) and repeat-accumulate codes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeat-accumulate_code).  
- A new commit to the diyhpluswiki added a transcript clarifying a confusing cryptographic statement from gmaxwell on Bitcoin selection cryptography (https://secure.diyhpl.us/cgit/diyhpluswiki/commit/?id=3e2b98e7).  
- Side observation that >100 000 private islands exist worldwide, hinting at possible seasteading or jurisdictional arbitrage angles.
