- GitHub’s current implementation of shared-repository hosting under POSIX has been broken, and the documented approach can lead to privilege-escalation vulnerabilities; the maintainers now quietly recommend gitolite or git-shell for access control instead.  
- A decade-old, low-cost VR molecular-visualization stack—Kinect depth camera + 3-D TVs + G-Sync—was shown to cut graduate-student onboarding time for comparative ribosome studies from a semester to an afternoon, demonstrating the pedagogical value of immersive structural biology.  
- Nanome.ai (UC Davis 3-D graphics group) offers a VR platform for real-time molecular design from general chemistry to drug discovery; early versions were judged “clunky” and graphics-centric rather than chemist-friendly, but still useful for teaching complex structures such as the ribosome.  
- GPT-3 was demonstrated to generate coherent, in-universe plot summaries that correctly incorporate niche anime knowledge (Haruhi Suzumiya franchise), reinforcing the model’s ability to handle deep, domain-specific context.  
- Ribosome display—a cell-free technique that links genotype to phenotype by translating mRNA into protein while the ribosome remains attached—was highlighted as a favorite molecular-biology method for directed evolution and library screening.  
- Emerald Cloud Lab, showcased in a Wolfram Research demo, was described as looking “like a Unity game-engine sample from 2013,” reflecting skepticism about the polish of current remote-lab interfaces.
