Why UUIDs are bad, and why you should consider the alternative
TL;DR: Use Cuid2 instead of UUID.

Why UUIDs are bad, and why you should consider the alternative

On $k$-coalition in graphs: bounds and exact values
Given a graph $G=\big{(}V(G),E(G)\big{)}$, a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is called a $k$-dominating set if every vertex in $V(G)\setminus S$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $S$. Two disjoint sets $A,B\subset V(G)$ form a $k$-coalition in $G$ if neither set is a $k$-dominating set in $G$ but their union $A\cup B$ is a $k$-dominating set. A partition $Ω$ of $V(G)$ is a $k$-coalition partition if each set in $Ω$ is either a $k$-dominating set of cardinality $k$ or forms a $k$-coalition with another set …

The formation and evolution of dust in the colliding-wind binary Apep revealed by JWST: #binary Apep [...] reveal an intricate series of nested concentric dust shells that are abundant in detailed substructure. The striking regularity in these substructures between successive shells suggests an exactly repeating formation mechanism combined with a highly stable outflow that maintains a consistent morphology even after reaching 0.6 pc (assuming a distance of 2.4 kpc) into the interstellar medium."
