Building a Knowledge System That Enhances Rather Than Replaces Thought (nsavage.substack.com)
I've been thinking a lot lately about where Zettelgarden fits into the long history of how humans manage and interact with knowledge. From Socrates worrying that writing would destroy memory, to today's debates about AI-generated content, we've always struggled with how much of our thinking we should outsource to tools.

Rambus DRAM (Rdram) (wikipedia.org)
Rambus DRAM (RDRAM), and its successors Concurrent Rambus DRAM (CRDRAM) and Direct Rambus DRAM (DRDRAM), are types of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) developed by Rambus from the 1990s through to the early 2000s.

Is It Possible to Improve Memory or Are We Doomed to Forget as We Age? (2023) (nzherald.co.nz)
Memory is a fickle beast at the best of times, but it’s easy to think we’re sliding into a pandemic of forgetfulness, a collective midlife side-effect of living a life so fast-paced, we can’t possibly be expected to remember where we put the keys.

Breathing coordinates brain rhythms during sleep (news.northwestern.edu)
Just as a conductor coordinates different instruments in an orchestra to produce a symphony, breathing coordinates hippocampal brain waves that strengthen memory while we sleep, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The role of Transactive Memory Systems in great teams (emilywebber.co.uk)

Research of RAM data remanence times (3mdeb.com)
Dynamic RAM (DRAM) must be periodically refreshed to maintain its content. If any bit is inadvertently swapped, we can say that the memory doesn’t work as it should. JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, a body that provides DDR specification, among other things) specifies how often this has to be done to ensure proper operation. However, some people are more interested in how long the data may be preserved after DRAM is powered down.

Microsoft is first to get HBM-juiced AMD CPUs (nextplatform.com)
Intel was the first of the major CPU makers to add HBM stacked DRAM memory to a CPU package, with the “Sapphire Rapids” Max Series Xeon SP processors. But with the “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6, Intel abandoned the use of HBM memory in favor of what it would hope would be more main stream MCR DDR5 main memory, which has multiplexed ranks to boost bandwidth by nearly 2X over regular DDR5 memory.

Stress can disrupt memory and lead to needless anxiety (nature.com)
Stress makes mice form big bundles of neurons in the brain that disrupt memory formation, making them fearful of harmless situations1 — which might help to explain why stressed people often feel threatened in safe environments.
