MIT brain scans suggest that using GenAI tools reduces cognitive activity

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-09 16:20:00

Why it matters: As the use of generative AI becomes increasingly common in education, law, politics, media, and other fields, many worry that reliance on the technology may reduce cognitive independence. A recent study from MIT strongly supports this concern, indicating that the use of digital tools significantly alters brain activity. The newly published paper explains that as participants in an experiment wrote a series of essays, electronic brain monitoring revealed substantially weaker conn

Cannabis scientists are trying to find a predictable, reliable product (2020)

As more of the compounds in cannabis are isolated, a few companies are looking at ways to eliminate one stubborn source of variability: the plants themselves. Ebbu’s intellectual property includes a patent for using an inkjet printer to spit out cannabinoids and terpenes in precisely measured ratios determined by the user. Brought in from the black-market wilderness by deep-pocketed, consumer-savvy companies, cannabis may become just another designer drug. At INSA, the Jack Herer vape oil may b

Octobass

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-06 03:33:45

Composers and orchestras like to use their lowest instruments sparingly, for maximum impact. Few instruments go lower and are used more sparingly than the huge and strange octobass, one of the rarest classic instruments in existence. Invented in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, the octobass was intended to bring an extremely deep rumble to the orchestra sound. The three-stringed instrument stands between 11 and 12 feet tall, about twice the height of a double bass. This giant bass produces soun

Literate programming tool for any language

Literate What is Literate programming? Literate programming is a style of programming invented by Donald Knuth, where the main idea is that a program's source code is made primarily to be read and understood by other people, and secondarily to be executed by the computer. This frees the programmer from the structure of a program imposed by the computer and means that the programmer can develop programs in the order of the flow of their thoughts.

Trump EPA May Undo Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-09 20:50:07

In 2024, the Biden administration issued a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States due to its links to cancer. The Trump administration isn’t so sure that we need to protect people from such things. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency will delay the ban on the material and reconsider the rule entirely.

Compiling LLMs into a MegaKernel: A path to low-latency inference

news.ycombinator.com Zhihao Jia 2025-09-10 07:20:54

One of the most effective ways to reduce latency in LLM inference is to fuse all computation and communication into a single megakernel — also known as a persistent kernel. In this design, the system launches just one GPU kernel to execute the entire model — from layer-by-layer computation to inter-GPU communication — without interruption. This approach offers several key performance advantages: Eliminates kernel launch overhead, even in multi-GPU settings, by avoiding repeated kernel invocatio
