# Summary of IRC Conversation on November 24, 2016

* A paper on "Inductive bias of deep convolutional networks through pooling geometry" was shared (https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.06743v2), discussing mathematical properties of neural networks.

* Dutch scientists developed color-changing graphene bubbles that could be used as mechanical pixels, as reported in The Verge article shared by a participant.

* Resources for automated manufacturing were discussed, including a link to an Industrial Automation Pocket Guide and a conversation about "flexible manufacturing systems" versus "flexible manufacturing cells" for configurable factory designs.

* A participant shared several microscopy videos of single-celled eukaryotes, including "living under a dark field microscope" footage showing microorganisms in high definition.

* A user received help with editing protein structure files (PDB format) to isolate specific proteins by removing duplicate structures, with the technical advice that PDB files can be edited as text files by removing specific atom lines.

* A transcript of a presentation on Mimblewimble (a cryptocurrency protocol) was added to the DIY biohacking wiki at http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/sf-bitcoin-meetup/2016-11-21-mimblewimble/.

* There was a brief discussion about gene doping (non-therapeutic gene therapy for athletic enhancement) and a request for information about SNPs that increase hippocampus size for inclusion in a genetic modifications wiki.
