- Discussion of using the Python library gdstk (gdsii/oasis layout generator with SVG export) to script MEMS beam geometries, with the suggestion that GPT could be asked to write the gdstk code while Verilog would only cover digital/analog control logic, not the physical MEMS layer stack.  
- Reddit thread was shared in which long-time ChatGPT users report a measurable drop in the model’s performance and reasoning quality, prompting concern about silent degradation of the service.  
- Tor Project forum post on the history of DDoS attacks against the Tor network and the strategy of introducing proof-of-work defenses to mitigate sustained denial-of-service campaigns.  
- Debate on the timeline and feasibility of uterine transplantation for trans women: participants cite the 2017 Bologna case of a live birth after twin-to-twin uterus transplant as evidence the procedure is technically possible now, limited chiefly by regulatory, social, and funding barriers rather than biology.  
- Proposal that elective post-hysterectomy uterus donation from cis women could create a reusable organ pool, potentially accelerating availability for both cis and trans recipients.  
- Reference to Eliezer Yudkowsky’s “Shock Level” essay (sl4.org/shocklevels.html) to frame public resistance and cognitive dissonance toward radical reproductive and transhuman technologies.
