- Nick Bostrom’s short story “The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant” (animated video at https://youtu.be/cZYNADOHhVY) was shared as a parable about the moral imperative to eliminate “gratuitous death,” prompting discussion on life-extension ethics.  
- A quick patch to the channel’s URL-title bot (saxo) was devised and committed (https://github.com/sbp/saxo/commit/31619587290227deeb47d4e7313ab586974033f7) to restore YouTube title fetching after Google began requiring JavaScript execution; the fix uses the /embed/ endpoint and youtube-dl extractors.  
- The “Nyan-Sat” satellite-communications CTF tutorial (https://nyan-sat.com/chapter0.html) was highlighted, with members noting prior success at pulling down ISS transmissions using low-cost RTL-SDR hardware.  
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s annual Molecular Foundry User Meeting (https://usermeeting2020.foundry.lbl.gov/) was announced—free, fully remote attendance for 2020, covering cutting-edge nanoscience.  
- A new open-access aging-research paper was circulated: “Rejuvenation of three germ-layers tissues by exchanging old blood plasma with saline-albumin” (Aging, 2020, https://www.aging-us.com/article/103418), suggesting a simple, translatable systemic rejuvenation protocol.  
- Enthusiasm was expressed for the elegance of the RISC-V vector extension, illustrated in a concise walk-through at https://gms.tf/riscv-vector.html, praised for its clean ISA design amenable to open-source hardware efforts.
