RDNA 4's “Out-of-Order” Memory Accesses (chipsandcheese.com)
AMD's RDNA 4 brings a variety of memory subsystem enhancements. Among those, one slide stood out because it dealt with out-of-order memory accesses. According to the slide, RDNA 4 allows requests from different shaders to be satisfied out-of-order, and adds new out-of-order queues for memory requests.

"Infantile amnesia" occurs despite babies showing memory activity (arstechnica.com)
For many of us, memories of our childhood have become a bit hazy, if not vanishing entirely. But nobody really remembers much before the age of 4, because nearly all humans experience what's termed "infantile amnesia," in which memories that might have formed before that age seemingly vanish as we move through adolescence. And it's not just us; the phenomenon appears to occur in a number of our fellow mammals.

Targeting Brain's Drainage Pathways Rejuvenates Memory (neurosciencenews.com)
Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report they have found a way around that problem by targeting the network of vessels that drain waste from the brain. Rejuvenating those vessels, they have shown, improves memory in old mice.

Number-Colour-Phoneme Associations: From IBM CGA Colours to Mnemonic Systems (susam.net)
This is a vanity page that records some of the associations between various numbers, colours, and phonemes as they appear in my mind. I must mention here that I do not have synaesthesia. Many of these connections were shaped by childhood experiences. Notably, two unrelated influences, learning about computers and studying mnemonic systems, have played a significant role in forming these associations.

ADHD Guide to Spaced Repetition (brick.do)
This article assumes you have already tried spaced repetition but either still struggle to do it regularly or gave up on it altogether because it was too boring. If you haven't tried it before, go sign up for Memcode.com right now (or download Anki if you hate yourself), create four flashcards on something you're currently learning, and come back in three months.

Why can't we remember our lives as babies or toddlers? (theguardian.com)
Life must be great as a baby: to be fed and clothed and carried places in soft pouches, to be waved and smiled at by adoring strangers, to have the temerity to scream because food hasn’t arrived quickly enough, and then to throw it on the ground when it is displeasing. It’s a shame none of us recalls exactly how good we once had it.
