Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Someone: How are you doing?

The fractured piece of an eldritch deity that I keep in my head at all times: lie.

Really want to write up my thoughts about the Servitors, power dynamics, and how this plays out in Machineries of Empire but it's been years since I wrote an analysis thing and I don't know if I have it in me.

#machineries of empire #jedao #charis #power dynamics and society were my thing in Classics grad school ugh its so tempting #also ironically its the Ides of March
