☆ Netflix's hit sci-fi series '3 Body Problem' is based on a real math problem that is so complex it's impossible to solve

AdvertisementWhile Netflix's "3 Body Problem" is a science-fiction show, its name comes from a real math problem that's puzzled scientists since the late 1600s. In physics, the three-body problem refers to the motion of three bodies trapped in each other's gravitational grip — like a three-star system. The three-body problem is over 300 years oldThe three-body problem dates back to Isaac Newton, who published his "Principia" in 1687. Can you solve the three-body problem? Though the three-body problem is considered mathematically unsolvable, there are solutions to specific scenarios.

☆ A Stability executive quit after saying that generative AI 'exploits creators.' It could spell trouble for AI companies.

He opposed Stability's argument that it should be able to train AI using copyrighted works for free. Generative AI models like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are trained using enormous amounts of information scraped from the internet, including art, song lyrics, and books. "To be clear, I'm a supporter of generative AI. The fact that criticisms like Franceschelli's are now being echoed by the people actually building generative AI models suggests that Newton-Rex's resignation could be a defining moment for AI. "I'm sure I'm not the only person inside these generative AI companies who doesn't think the claim of 'fair use' is fair to creators.

☆ The history of Apple in photos, from the early Steve Jobs era and iPhone launch to crossing the $3 trillion milestone under Tim Cook

But the iPhone-maker almost didn't make it this far — it struggled in the '90s until Steve Jobs returned as the company's CEO. Apple has weathered hits and flops over the years, from the launch of the influential Apple II to the misguided Newton MessagePad. Apple surpassed a $3 trillion market cap on Friday morning — a milestone it previously hit once last year but didn't sustain. Michael Dell himself once quipped that if he were in Jobs' shoes, he'd shut Apple down and return the money to the shareholders. Here's a look into the history of Apple in photos, from its inception, through its hard times, to the triumphant return of Jobs.

☆ Former FCC Chair Newton Minow, who called 1960s TV 'vast wasteland', dies at 97
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Bill Trott | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
On May 9, 1961, he addressed the National Association of Broadcasters convention and had some stark criticism for television executives. "When television is good, nothing - not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers - nothing is better," Minow said. "I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland," he said. The speech draft had referred to a "vast wasteland of junk" but Minow excised "of junk" so as not to offend his audience too deeply. Minow headed the FCC for two years and in 1965 became a partner at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin.
