Scientists use Gravity waves to detect earthquakes faster

Scientists use Gravity waves to detect earthquakes faster
Tracking minor changes in gravity when earthquake hits could buy us valuable life-saving minutes, according to a new study published in the journal Science.
Revisiting records from the large 2011 Japan earthquake, the researchers indicate that shifts in gravity should’ve instructed the people the scale of the quake three minutes after it started.
The findings come at the heels of a separate study, presented at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, that theorized that 2018 would see a surge in earthquakes, due to a slight slowing of the earth’s rotation. Previous research has proven that the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku quake that struck Japan in 2011 was powerful enough to barely change the affected area’s pull of gravity.

On the ground, where the gravitational shifts are barely noticeable, it took 3 hours for the Japan Meteorological Agency to gauge its true size, after initially estimating it to magnitude 7.9.
The new research shows gravity signals, travelling at more than 185,000 miles per second, were maximum obvious at monitoring stations between 1,000 and 2,000 km from the quake’s epicentre. At that speed, the signals had sufficient time to be recorded earlier than the seismic waves took over.
The Tohoku, Japan’s biggest recorded earthquake, event caused a tsunami that ended in over 15,000 deaths and brought on the Fukushima Daiichi power plant meltdown, the ongoing cleanup of that is predicted to take among 30 to 40 years.
Although we’re not closer to predicting earthquakes, the researchers claim that with revision their method must work for detecting quakes of magnitude 8.5 or greater, that is larger enough to generate measurable gravity signals.

With ‘F1’, Apple finally has a theatrical hit

Looks like Apple has its first bona fide box office hit.
The company has already produced critically-acclaimed and award-winning films for Apple TV+. In fact, while Netflix has reportedly spent millions on its Oscar campaigns, Apple’s “Coda” remains the only movie produced by a streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
It has, however, been a different story at the box office — at best, returns have fallen short of ambitious budgets, and with “Argylle,” the company had a spectacular flop. Last year, Apple reportedly decided to scale back on both budgets and theatrical releases, leading to canceled projects and criticism from directors.
Things have finally turned around with “F1” — currently the number one movie in theaters, on-track to earn $55.6 million this weekend at the domestic box office. With $144 million in global ticket sales, “F1” will soon surpass “Napoleon” ($228 million) as Apple’s highest-grossing film.
“F1”’s director, Joseph Kosinski, previously helmed “Top Gun: Maverick,” and in many ways, the new movie sounds like a loose copy of the “Maverick” formula, combining realistic, you-are-there cinematography (Brad Pitt is really driving those cars!) with a familiar narrative about an older veteran forced to work with a young upstart who needs to learn a thing or two about old-fashioned, analog grit.
“F1” (which is being distributed in the U.S. by Warner Bros.) likely benefited from the surging U.S. popularity of Formula One racing, fueled in part by Netflix’s docuseries “Drive to Survive.” Much of it was filmed at actual Formula One races, and driver Lewis Hamilton also signed on as a producer.
Apple CEO Tim Cook even joined Hamilton for a Variety cover story in which Cook said the company was able to “bring some things that were uniquely Apple to the movie, like our camera technology.” The plan, he added, was “to have the whole of the company support it as well — our retail operation and everything.” (Not all customers have been pleased with the cross-promotion.)
While Apple’s bet seems to be paying off, it’s still not clear whether “F1” — with a reported budget of more than $200 million — will actually make a profit in theaters. Before its release, one box office analyst told Vulture that even in success, the movie “may end up being a very expensive commercial for original content on Apple TV.”

Trump says he’s found a buyer for TikTok

A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump.
“We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.”
Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time).
Trump has repeatedly delayed a bill forcing owner ByteDance to sell the app or see it banned in the United States. In January, he said his “initial thought” was to create “a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership.”
He’s also said he was open to allies Larry Ellison or Elon Musk buying the app, although Musk seems like a less likely candidate now.

Meta reportedly hires four more researchers from OpenAI
Looks like Meta isn’t done poaching talent from OpenAI.
Earlier this week, TechCrunch reported that Meta had hired influential OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal, and according to The Wall Street Journal, it also hired three other researchers from the company.
Now The Information is reporting four more Meta hires from OpenAI: Researchers Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren.
This hiring spree comes after the April launch of Meta’s Llama 4 AI models, which reportedly did not perform as well as CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hoped. (The company was also criticized over the version of Llama that it used for a popular benchmark.)
There’s been some back-and-forth between the two companies, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggesting that Meta was offering “$100 million signing bonuses” while adding that “so far, none of our best people” have left. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth then told employees that while senior leaders may have been offered that kind of money, “the actual terms of the offer” were more complex than a simple one-time signing bonus.
