- The channel debated “nanomodular electronics,” a proposed manufacturing paradigm that would drop the cost of transistors from ~$10 billion per kg to near-chemical-process levels by replacing photolithographic masks with drop-casting, spray-coating, DNA self-assembly, dielectrophoresis, and on-the-fly machine-learning-guided routing; open questions remain about how to place and orient nanoscale components with sufficient precision.  
- A SPEC.tech roadmap (https://www.spec.tech/library/nanomodular-electronics-roadmap) was circulated as the primary reference for this vision.  
- Wyoming’s new bill preventing forced disclosure of private cryptographic keys was noted (https://cointelegraph.com/news/wyoming-lawmakers-pass-bill-to-prevent-forced-disclosure-of-private-keys).  
- A Bitcoin-dev mailing-list post introduced a fully analog, computer-free Shamir-secret-sharing scheme implemented with paper volvelles; the accompanying site (https://secretcodex32.com/) hosts templates and instructions.  
- Participants discussed whether peripheral nervous systems—especially the enteric (“gut-brain”) and cardiac networks—are integral to personal identity or intelligence, with one side arguing that traumatic nerve damage has little effect on the “self,” while others cited behavioral and physiological evidence for deeper involvement.  
- A non-invasive temporal-interference electrical stimulation study targeting the human hippocampus was mentioned (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2023.01.031), though only a conference poster was initially located; the full text was later found on bioarxiv.  
- An amusement-park train auction (https://bid.wiregrassauctiongroup.com/ui/auctions/94577) sparked tongue-in-cheek speculation about Jurassic-Park-style rides for embryo selection or equipment transport on private property.  
- A YouTube playlist on the history of microscopy was shared (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZw5NdQZwcbPB67uDCa6AZZuWOPva6sa3).
