North Korea conducts engine test for long-range missile
North Korea reports that Kim Jong Un watched a test of an upgraded solid-fuel engine for missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland. State media say the test boosts the country’s strategic strike capability. Experts say the claim may be exaggerated because key data is missing. Some say the program faces delays or seeks a better design. Solid-fuel engines help missiles move fast and hide before launch. North Korea has pushed hard to expand its nuclear arsenal since Kim’s high-stakes diplomacy…

Die Chemnitzer Linuxtage sind toll, und auch Karl-Marx-Stadt hat mir gefallen. Vielen Dank an alle Helfenden! Und an die feine Bäckerei Voigt am Campus der TU Chemnitz, die gestern extra aufgemacht hat.

Listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator.
The young birds were more vigilant when they heard the call again…
chicks that heard the predator calls paired with the contact calls did not gain this fear.

An anomaly onboard the #Proba3 mission’s Coronagraph spacecraft led to loss of contact between the spacecraft and ground control: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Work_ongoing_to_restore_contact_with_Proba-3_s_Coronagraph - the root cause of the anomaly is under investigation and mission teams are working hard to recover the situation.

'I have heard it said, more than once, in research contexts, that an LLM can do some task “better than a graduate student.” That language makes me uncomfortable, because it is taking an extremely instrumental view of graduate students.

I very much hope the latter, or, if they are here to work, it is because that work is also critical to their learning' - David Hogg
