In computational neuroscience, models representing single-neuron in-vivo activity have become essential for understanding the functional identities of individual neurons. These models, such as implicit representation methods based on Transformer architectures, contrastive learning frameworks, and variational autoencoders, aim to capture the invariant and intrinsic computational features of single neurons. The learned single-neuron computational role representations should remain invariant across changing environment and are affected by their molecular expression and location. Thus, the representations allow for in vivo prediction of the molecular cell types and anatomical locations of single neurons, facilitating advanced closed-loop experimental designs. However, current models face the problem of limited generalizability.

A joint congressional report describes a spam operation that turned tens of thousands of fake podcasts into search-engine bait for illegal pharmacy and scam sites. For the past year, Spotify has been quietly purging tens of thousands of podcasts that advertised illegal online pharmacies. A report released Thursday by Senator Maggie Hassan, ranking member of the Joint Economic Committee, faults the company for acting only after news outlets exposed the content and her office spent nearly a year pressing for answers. None of what it removed was sent to law enforcement, the report says. Spotify reportedly removed more than 57,000 podcast episodes and 3,000 shows, and took enforcement action against 3,500 accounts, all pushing links to illegal online pharmacies advertising opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants for sale without a prescription.

PCWorld reports that Mozilla's Firefox VPN has temporarily removed its usual 50 GB monthly data cap for unlimited summer usage until August 31st. This promotion unlocks access to VPN servers across 28 countries, benefiting users who need enhanced privacy for summer travel and browsing. The standard data limitations will return on September 1st, making this a limited-time opportunity for Firefox users seeking unrestricted VPN access. The built-in VPN feature of Mozilla's Firefox browser, introduced just a few months ago in March, normally caps out at 50 GB of free bandwidth per month. However, the company just announced in this blog post that it will be completely removing that cap for the summer months. Starting now until August 31st of this year, you'll be able to use the Firefox VPN service as much as you like, and you can browse as if you were at home even while traveling abroad. Once September 1st hits, however, the 50 GB limit will be reinstated. The announcement also says that this summer period will unlock access to VPN servers in 28 countries. Firefox automatically suggests the best VPN server for the fastest connection, but you can manually choose a different country yourself if you wish.

Musk's xAI fired engineer for raising concerns about Grok chatbot, lawsuit claims A former engineer at Elon Musk's xAI who now heads a thinktank focused on AI safety filed a lawsuit claiming he was fired from the SpaceX subsidiary for raising concerns about the risks artificial intelligence poses to humanity. Devin Kim claims in the lawsuit filed in California state court on Tuesday that his efforts to place guardrails on the development of the chatbot Grok made him a target for company leadership. The lawsuit comes ahead of SpaceX's planned initial public offering, the largest ever, on Friday.

Summer Game Fest just wrapped up its sixth year and, like a beautifully cel-shaded version of The Blob, the show just keeps on growing. The official Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase took place on June 5, but the surrounding buffet of new game reveals, release date announcements, review opportunities and developer spotlights actually ran from June 1 all the way to June 9. That's more than an entire week of near-constant video game news and trailers to consume, and here we've gathered absolutely all of it in one tidy but lengthy package. First up, a collection of Engadget's previews and reporting from Summer Game Fest Play Days in Los Angeles, which ran from June 6-8: Control Resonant's take on New York feels like the Backrooms Silent Hill Townfall brings atmospheric horror to '90s Scotland with incredible attention to detail Saw: Genesis looks the most fun when you're the murderous mastermind Alien: Isolation 2 keeps the classic horror game's uncompromising approach to raising tension Spyro: A Realm Beyond sees the '90s purple dragon make a big comeback Be like Carl from Summer House and get in the MIX with another high-energy stream filled with great-looking upcoming indie games, gathered by the folks at the Media Indie Exchange.
