- Focused ultrasound ablation for non-invasive tumor destruction is already under active development; a 2011 review (PMC3064817) details the use of phased-array transducers to achieve selective heating deep inside tissue.  
- GitHub’s private-source-code leak (Nov 2020) was discussed, with archived links to the DMCA takedown bundle and 4chan /g/ threads that centered on the youtube-dl controversy rather than the leaked GitHub Enterprise code itself.  
- A participant floated the idea of leveraging Rust’s type system to build a domain-specific language that compiles to Verilog, aiming for stronger correctness guarantees in hardware design.  
- High-level synthesis (HLS) tooling was briefly mentioned as relevant background for the Rust-to-Verilog DSL concept.
