# Summary of ##hplusroadmap IRC Log (Feb 23, 2015)

* IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) was mentioned, with a note that researcher davidad was credited in a related paper - this appears to be a distributed hypermedia protocol.

* A discussion of Toyota's focus on fuel cell technology over lithium batteries occurred, with a question about whether fuel cells are inherently more efficient.

* A paper on "Recursion Theorems and Self-Replication Via Text Register Machine Programs" was shared, exploring computational self-replication concepts.

* The Parallella project was discussed, with links to a document titled "What I Learned Designing a Parallel Processor" and their GitHub repository for PAL (Parallella Abstraction Layer).

* A comment about semiconductor fabrication timelines noted that "a fab run itself is 6 weeks, so maybe 3 months including packaging sounds reasonable," with reference to 28nm Bitcoin ASICs.

* A link was shared to research on SETI, black holes, X-ray binaries, and star lifting from the Evo Devo Universe wiki, representing advanced concepts in astrophysics and SETI research.
