- A new MIT Technology Review article titled “The transhumanist DIY designer baby funded with bitcoin” was dropped in the channel, highlighting grassroots, cryptocurrency-financed human genetic engineering efforts.  
- DIYHplusWiki received a burst of updates: transcripts and notes from Stanford Blockchain Conference 2019 sessions on Miniscript, Casper, Ethereum 2.0, threshold signatures, and Handel (practical multisig aggregation) were committed and linked.  
- A Science paper (Science 363:eaau1043) on “Characterizing mutagenic effects of recombination through a sequence-level genetic map” was shared, with Sci-Hub link provided for open access.  
- The concept of pleiotropy—single genes influencing multiple, seemingly unrelated traits—was explicitly queried and defined via Wikipedia lookup, underscoring ongoing interest in genetic complexity for enhancement or therapy.  
- Overall traffic was light, with participants noting the absence of “raging hordes” and observing that public outrage over transhumanist topics appears to have migrated to Twitter.
