Submission + - LLM-inspired study sheds light on how brain cells encode the meaning of words (medicalxpress.com)
alternative_right writes: To investigate how the brain encodes the meaning of words, the researchers first recorded the activity of individual neurons in the hippocampus of 10 people who were listening to stories. Their recordings were collected using tiny wire electrodes that were implanted in the participants' brains as part of clinical monitoring procedures for epilepsy.
The team then used mathematical models to analyze the language used in the stories and the brain recordings. This allowed them to examine whether information about the meaning of words could predict the recorded neuronal activity.
"We recorded responses of hippocampal neurons while individuals listened to narrative speech," wrote Melissa Franch and her colleagues in their paper. "Using an encoding model approach, we find robust encoding of semantics, even after controlling for phonemics and grammar. Individual words had complex selectivities that included multiple words in multiple semantic categories."

Tech bros and finance bros are the same people. "Tech bros" aren't programmers, they don't like tech; they're people looking to make money or status from technology. People who actually like tech are here posting on Slashdot about RAM doublers from the 80s. How does that make anyone money or give status?
I think finance people are responsible for the ridiculously high cost of housing, but I haven't been able to prove it.

Nah dude, you're a Windows programmer. I am fully in concordance that hardware RAID controllers were faster on Windows. Microsoft probably made a deal with RAID hardware manufacturers to keep their software controller slow. That's the Microsoft way.
But on Linux? The software RAID controller was faster. The job is I/O bound, not CPU bound.

it can be accessed in a read-only fashion with little delay; just the cost of hardware-offloaded compression..
This reminds me of the days when we were using hardware RAID controllers...even though it was all done in hardware, it seems like they were somehow always slower than the Linux software RAID controller. I never figured out why. What I am saying is, I don't trust the hardware-offloaded compression to be faster without seeing the data.

Submission + - Amid K-12 AI Pushback, OpenAI Named Lead Partner of 'Hour of AI' for Kids
theodp writes: On the heels of announced AI moratoriums by the nation's two largest K-12 school districts (NYC, LA), tech-backed nonprofit CodeAI (aka Code.org) this week named OpenAI 'Lead Partner' for the 2026 Hour of AI, which has replaced the Hour of Code (RIP, 2013-2024) as the premier event for the nation's K-12 schoolchildren during December's CS Education Week. OpenAI investor and partner Microsoft was named as one of two 'Supporters' for the event/infomercial (the other being U.S. defense contractor Northrop Grumman).
In August, as it launched ChatGPT for Teens, OpenAI announced a new signature partnership with Code.org to 'prepare the first AI generation', explaining that 'through the Hour of AI, OpenAI and CodeAI will introduce millions of students to the basics of using AI thoughtfully and responsibly.' OpenAI and Microsoft last year teamed up with the American Federation of Teachers to 'bring AI into the classroom', but that honeymoon is over. For more on the inside story of how Big Tech is applying the same playbook it used to scale coding lessons nationwide to now mainstream their AI tools in schools, check out Coding Kids: Big Tech's Battle to Remake Public Schools.
So, much like the Hour of Code that preceded it, will the Hour of AI serve as tech's 'Trojan Horse' (ChatGPT-generated parody cover) in its 'Odyssey' to push its agenda and curriculum into schools?
