Here are the facts as we now know them: North Korean state media has insisted that the test was of a hydrogen bomb, and monitoring stations around world picked up seismic activity consistent with a small-yield nuclear test coming from an area where the North Koreans have done all their previous nuclear bomb testing.
|
|
The last North Korean nuclear test, in 2013, also registered at 5.1 on the USGS scale, and the similar seismic activity caused by the recent blast fueled speculation that North Korea may have detonated a nuclear weapon similar to the ones it tested previously, then tried to pass it off as an H-bomb.

A second set of engineers, from the Seattle-based firm Hart Crowser, had experience with landfill, water, and seismic activity from the Olympic Sculpture Park, and, after more than a year of back-and-forth, they helped to create hills that would stand tall, resist erosion, and not be so heavy that they would push the edge of the island— splat —out into the harbor.
|
|
Most of the data collected by the team was ruled as seismic activity, but sound from a pair of locations off the coast of Australia outside the so-called "seventh arc," a boundary that helped refine the search for the plane based on it where it would have run out of fuel, could not be explained by tectonic activity alone, according to data shared with Gizmodo by Kadri.

Nvidia's full range of options is key to making this work – the oil and gas industry has needs that range from solving massive computing problems via simulation and data processing to anticipating new drill spots and how to deal with seismic activity at drilling sites, for instance, but it also needs platforms that can work installed on offshore platforms where connectivity is sketchy at best, and not incredibly bandwidth-rich, either.
