STOCKHOLM — John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for discoveries and inventions that formed the building blocks of machine learning.

“This year’s two Nobel Laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning,” the Nobel committee said in a press release.

Hopfield’s research is carried out at Princeton University and Hinton works at the University of Toronto.

Gibbs said the two leases are among the top five largest new leases signed in Texas since the start of the year. The most recent in west Fort Worth is the third largest behind two others in Houston.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area is a hub for data centers, accounting for about one-tenth of the market, second to Northern Virginia. According to analysis from commercial real estate firm Avison Young, the DFW market ranks No. 4 behind northern Virginia, Atlanta and Phoenix, and vacancy sits at 1.4%.

Our planet might be hit by another massive solar flare Monday, following multiple northern lights sightings across the U.S. on Sunday night.

There is a 30 percent chance of an X-class solar flare hitting us on October 7, and a 75 percent chance of an M-class flare being seen, due to the Earth being in the “crosshairs” of six volatile sunspots on the sun’s surface.

This comes as 14 U.S. states caught a glimpse of the northern lights on Sunday night, thanks to a G1 to G2-strength geomagnetic storm.

Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars. The results are reported in the journal Nature Astronomy.

The international team, co-led by the University of Cambridge, used Webb to observe a galaxy roughly the size of the Milky Way in the early universe, about two billion years after the Big Bang. Like most large galaxies, it has a supermassive black hole at its center. However, this galaxy is essentially ‘dead’: it has mostly stopped forming new stars.

“Based on earlier observations, we knew this galaxy was in a quenched state: it’s not forming many stars given its size, and we expect there is a link between the black hole and the end of star formation,” said co-lead author Dr. Francesco D’Eugenio from Cambridge’s Kavli Institute for Cosmology.

The US government has launched a new supercomputer in Livermore, California.

The Department of Defense (DoD) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) this month inaugurated a new supercomputing system dedicated to biological defense at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

Specs not shared, but same architecture as upcoming El Capitan system.
