Landfill study shows flawed detection methods, higher methane emissions in Illinois, other states

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's method of detecting methane leaks at landfills is flawed, and emissions of this powerful heat-trapping gas are likely much higher than what is being reported, according to a new ...

AI-assisted writing is quietly booming in academic journals—here's why that's OK

If you search Google Scholar for the phrase "as an AI language model," you'll find plenty of AI research literature and also some rather suspicious results. For example, one paper on agricultural technology says,

The interference of many atoms, and a new approach to boson sampling

In daily life, when two objects are "indistinguishable," it's due to an imperfect state of knowledge. As a street magician scrambles the cups and balls, you could, in principle, keep track of which ball is which as they are ...
