# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Log

• Speeduino, an open-source Arduino-based engine management system, was shared via GitHub, representing an example of accessible hardware development that could be relevant to DIY transhumanist projects.

• Researchers discussed the viability of polysilicon microchips (1.5-3μm with 0.5μm thickness) that can be inserted into living cells without affecting cell viability, potentially enabling intracellular sensing applications.

• Participants explored the technical feasibility of placing CMOS chips in 3-micron diameter emulsion droplets for directed evolution projects, noting that 14nm process technology could fit a 16-bit microcontroller in that space.

• High-speed data acquisition methods were discussed, specifically a 14-bit 105Msps ADC module paired with a Cypress FX3 USB controller for power analysis applications.

• An anthrax outbreak in Siberia potentially linked to thawed reindeer corpses was shared as an example of biological risks emerging from climate change, highlighting concerns relevant to biosecurity and health resilience.

• The channel explored nanoscale technology applications including DNA sampling, cancer cell monitoring, and immune system response tracking, with discussion about the future commercialization potential of longevity technologies.
