- nmz787 successfully compiled and ran a microfluidic CAD model (tobacco mesophyll protoplast fusion device) using the Haskell-based ImplicitCAD tool via the “stack” build system, but encountered a lexer/parser bug that was resolved by removing a spurious newline and correcting argument counts in module calls.  
- The ImplicitCAD run was single-threaded and slow; nmz787 asked about multi-core support and lower-resolution rendering to speed up STL generation.  
- JangoBio announced plans to create implantable organoids for complete hormone restoration, emphasizing that peptide hormones cannot be delivered by conventional routes and that the tissue is immune-privileged, suggesting outpatient implantation in or near existing gonads.  
- Discussion speculated that cancer survivors who have had gonads removed could be early adopters for the organoid therapy.  
- A PubMed paper on Lance Armstrong (PMID 17095167) was cited to explore how orchiectomy-induced hormonal changes affect elite endurance performance.  
- A ScienceAlert article about a helical structure of a rare-earth metal was shared as a potential path to ultra-small transistors and continued Moore’s Law scaling.  
- A side conversation clarified the geometric distinction between a spiral (planar, radius may change) and a helix (three-dimensional, constant radius along an axis), noting that confusion exists even among native English speakers.
