💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🛰️❓ #JPL astronomer T. Joseph W. Lazio published a #paper asking a single question: are there alien #artifacts in our solar system?

His conclusion: we have no idea. Our best surveys of the #Moon cover only meters per pixel, most of the #solarsystem is mapped at kilometer scale, and we can't reliably distinguish a dead probe from a random rock.

Are Alien Probes Hiding in Our Backyard? A New Study Says We’ve Barely Looked

Even at this early stage in our space faring age, humanity has already begun sending probes that will eventually reach other solar systems, even if that was not their original intention. Five robotic explorers - Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons - are all on escape velocities out of the solar system, and might someday enter another one. They will no longer be operational at that point, but they serve as a proof of concept that spacefaring civilizations do indeed build interstellar probes. Which raises the obvious question - has anyone else sent their own robotic explorers to ours? In a recent paper, published in the Proceedings of the IAU Centenary Symposium, astronomer T. Joseph W. Lazio, points out a painful truth - we still have no idea, and our technology will need to get much better if we plan to find out.

Долгие миграции на старте сервиса — это не startup-проблема. Это ошибка в архитектуре релиза

Когда сервис поднимается по 8-15 минут, команда почти всегда начинает крутить одни и те же ручки: увеличивает initialDelaySeconds, добавляет startupProbe, поднимает progressDeadlineSeconds, иногда переносит миграцию в initContainer и считает, что стало «по-кубернетесному». Обычно это не лечение. Это способ аккуратнее завернуть проблему в YAML. Если тяжёлая миграция живёт внутри старта приложения, вы связали жизненный цикл Pod, rollout Deployment и поведение базы в один общий узел. А такие узлы в проде рвутся не там, где их ждут.

[Kerry Wong] Finds SMD Test Clips

One of the many problems you run into when you work with SMD parts is trying to probe the little tiny pins. While we usually watch [Kerry Wong’s] videos for the oscilloscopes, it makes sense …

(Glyco-)sphingolipids play important roles in bacterial infections. Studying them requires powerful chemical tools.

Jürgen Seibel talked at #Biochemistry2026 about the synthesis of probes based on (glyco-)sphingolipids and their use to study biology e.g. using expansion microscopy.

I am very happy that Michaela Prothiwa joined us today for a department visit and a lecture. She gave a very interesting lecture on "Chemical strategies to understand bacterial immune evasion".
