“To be in the twenty-first century,” as Fisher points out, “is to have twentieth-century culture on high-definition screens.”

"Major Quantum Computing Advance Made Obsolete by Teenager" - Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine, 31JUL2018

>A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch. In a paper posted online earlier this month, 18-year-old Ewin Tang proved that ordinary computers can solve an important computing problem with performance potentially comparable to that of a quantum computer.

>In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try. Computer scientists had considered it to be one of the best examples of a problem that’s exponentially faster to solve on quantum computers — making it an important validation of the power of these futuristic machines. Now Tang has stripped that validation away.

>“This was one of the most definitive examples of a quantum speedup, and it’s no longer there,” said Tang

"Scientific fraud has become an ‘industry,’ alarming analysis finds" - Cathleen O'Grady, Science, 04AUG2025

>The paper, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, paints an alarming picture. Northwestern University metascientist Reese Richardson and his colleagues identify networks of editors and authors colluding to publish shoddy or fraudulent papers, report that large organizations are placing batches of fake papers in journals, suggest brokers may serve as intermediaries between paper mills and intercepted journals, and find that the number of fake papers—though still relatively small—seems to be increasing at a rate far greater than the scientific literature generally.

>For instance, of the 79 papers that one editor had handled at PLOS ONE, 49 have been retracted. Flagged editors handled 1.3% of papers published in the journal by 2024, but nearly one-third of all retracted papers.

We had a great first week of the Fields & Energy Book I campaign. Seventy-five backers more than tripled the original goal of the campaign. If you haven’t backed already, please do so to be one of the first to get a copy of Fields & Energy Book I. I’ve been hitting the podcast and interview circuit, and one of my first stops was with University of Chicago Professor Rachel Fulton Brown. Here’s a summary of our far-ranging discussion that weaves together medieval science, modern physics, art history, and philosophy.
