  • Why wasn't this found before?

    Surely 'take all observations of the sky and for every visible star do a frequency analysis' is step 1 when looking for planets?

  • It’s written as if this was Claude congratulating itself.

  • I just did something similar with historical archives: https://jessewaites.com/blog/post/i-pointed-ai-at-400-years-...

  • Brilliant application. Imagine the progress we could make with models post trained on scientific process and a good agentic process.

    I've been tinkering with the latter for the last couple of months. Yesterday my system made some progress on instabilities on a particular superconductive system: https://colinocallaghan.com/autonomous-ai-research/Spatial-P...

  • While I find it great that Claude is now helping people to progress on topics they may have not have time or knowledge for before, I found it a bit sad that this is done alone in a bedroom. NASA and ESA do have this kind of program, where they publish data and encourage people to help. There is exactly this for exoplanet searching:

    - NASA (with the TESS mission): https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/nora-dot-eisner/planet-h...

    - ESA (with the CHEOPS mission): https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/bmerin/planet-hunters-ch... (Very new! Will be announced next week!)

    If you are logged in with an account they will even recognise you and add your name to the paper!

    So instead of playing alone, join the common effort, this is how science will progress efficiently!
