- John Carmack’s internal AI research notes from Keen Technologies were shared as a Google Doc and mirrored to a cleaner HTML version; the notes cover his current thinking on AGI architecture and training strategies.  
- A long discussion on GUI testing tools compared React/Jest/Playwright/Storybook stacks for web apps with wxPython-specific approaches, concluding that SikuliX (OpenCV + OCR) or a proposed “wxrecorder.py” (event recorder + screenshot diff) could give desktop apps the same testability.  
- Participants debated the immorality of browser-based stacks and the difficulty of maintaining fragile widget hierarchies when code is refactored, highlighting the trade-offs between pixel-perfect visual diffs and programmatic UI introspection.  
- Fleeky described an experiment to insulate a basement with air-crete, noting that local hard water accelerates cement set and ruins foam structure, so softened water and precise recipes are required; the mix should also seal mouse entry points.  
- Kanzure dug into OCLC’s metadata licensing terms, confirming libraries grant only a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license rather than transferring copyright, citing the ICOLC statement and a sample university contract.
