Oo! Interesting #GravitationalWave candidate #S251112cm potentially from a *subsolar* mass source
If real, the source is probably has chirp mass ~0.1–0.87 solar masses
False alarm rate 1 in 6.2 yr

Looking at a related phenomenon as part of his research on how AI and everyday practices of science shape each other, D&S's Ranjit Singh explores how LLMs are threatening the open-access research repository arXiv: by effectively *manufacturing* a form of scholarship. datasociety.net/points/on-ar...

Classic!
A little over 23 years ago, I wrote my first paper on white dwarf planetary systems and not only am I fortunate enough to still be able to go looking for them with JWST, that little paper (which almost got rejected) hit 400 citations #astrosci #exoplanets

I've been alerted to a paper in the computer science/artificial intelligence section on arXiv, called The Denario project: Deep knowledge AI agents for scientific discovery by Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro et al. The abstract follows: We present Denario, an AI multi-agent system designed to serve as a scientific research assistant. Denario can perform many different tasks, such as generating ideas, checking the literature, developing research plans, writing and executing code, making plots, and drafting and reviewing a scientific paper.

I'm honestly thinking about writing a book set in 17th century Iceland just to get an excuse to write about necropants.
Also, a fun fact about the Icelandic witch trials is that we burned mostly men for witchcraft.
