[$] Portable Python scripts with dependencies
A basic Python script is portable: it can be copied between machines with little concern about compatibility. A script that depends on third-party packages requires quite a bit more care and consideration, however. In 2023, PEP 723 ("Inline script metadata") introduced a standard for declaring a Python script's dependencies inside the script itself. Several third-party tools can now automatically install and manage those dependencies, but there is still little official support for this standard within Python itself.

Dinosaur Blood Found In Fossils For the First Time
Researchers have confirmed the presence of intact biomolecules and mineralized red blood cells inside the 115-million-year-old fossilized bones of a juvenile Aratasaurus museunacionali from Brazil. The discovery challenges assumptions about how long blood-related biomolecules can survive and could help scientists study dinosaur metabolism, blood evolution and even how traces of ancient life might be preserved on other worlds. Popular Science reports: The evidence exists inside the fossilized limb bones of a juvenile Aratasaurus museunacionali. Discovered in 2008, A. museunacionali was an Early

NASA's Swift Observatory Is Falling to Earth
joshuark shares a report from Wired: After 22 years in orbit and a failed rescue mission this summer, it is highly likely that the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory will crash into Earth sometime next week. It is not known where on the planet the spacecraft -- which is roughly as big as a large elevator -- will fall. Despite its size, experts say the risk to the public is relatively low. The observatory was designed to operate for a few years in low Earth orbit, but it far exceeded its expected lifespan, helping to make many important discoveries about the evolution of the cosmos, including the s
