- The channel debated whether legislatures will ever adopt cryptographic “anti-deep-fake” laws, with the consensus that lawmakers themselves would lose more than they gain, so such rules are unlikely in mainstream democracies.  
- A practical workaround for OpenTimestamps was shared: hash files locally and timestamp only the hash, avoiding the need to trust the client with raw file contents.  
- Participants discussed the Apple M1’s 2× compile-speed advantage over a high-end Intel i9 and speculated that the performance leap will push AMD and Intel toward tighter CPU-memory integration—possibly even on-die memory in future designs.  
- It was noted that many low-cost ARM devices (Rockchip Android set-top boxes, older phones) already bond RAM directly to the CPU package, but capacity limits (historically ~4 GB) may be rising as single-chip packages now reach 24 Gb.  
- A creative security idea was floated: map important file paths to distinct audio cues from tiny speakers so that anomalous disk access triggers immediate audible alerts, leveraging the brain’s pattern-filtering abilities.  
- Links shared included the “Ultimately Large Telescope” concept paper (arXiv:2007.02946), the Truepill pharmacy API documentation, and a Crowd Supply update on the Libre RISC-V M-Class open-source processor project.
