The approximately 7,500 anatomical terms are a lot for students to remember, but the task is made easier by risque mnemonics.

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations.

In our own work, we researched memorization in language models for code and ways to let them regurgitate training data:
> From the training data that was identified to be potentially extractable we were able to extract 47% from a CodeGen-Mono-16B code completion model.
> We also observe that models memorise more, as their parameter count grows, and that their pre-training data are also vulnerable to attack

The New York Times thinks a turtle poem will "win your heart" 🐢💔—because nothing screams "captivating" like slow-moving reptiles and deep dives into poetic gravity. 🎼✨ Meanwhile, they offer a #game to help memorize it, as if anyone is clamoring to recite turtle verses at parties. 🎉📜

I gladly return to the subject of the ineptitude of our education. Its goal has been to make us not good or wise, but learned; it has attained this goal. It has not taught us to follow and embrace virtue and wisdom, but has imprinted in us their derivation and etymology. We know how to decline virtue, if we cannot love it. If we do not know what wisdom is by practice and experience, we know it by jargon and by rote.
[Je retombe volontiers sur ce discours de l’ineptie de nostre institution : Elle a eu pour sa fin, de nous faire, non bons & sages, mais sçavans : elle y est arrivée. Elle ne nous a pas appris de suyvre & embrasser la vertu & la prudence : mais elle nous en a imprimé la derivation & l’etymologie. Nous sçavons decliner vertu, si nous ne sçavons l’aymer. Si nous ne sçavons que c’est que prudence par effect, & par experience, nous le sçavons par jargon & par cœur.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

We readily inquire, “Does he know Greek or Latin?” “Can he write poetry and prose?” But what matters most is what we put last: “Has he become better and wiser?” We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty.
[Nous enquerons volontiers, Sçait-il du Grec ou du Latin ? escrit-il en vers ou en prose ? mais, s’il est devenu meilleur ou plus advisé, c’estoit le principal, & c’est ce qui demeure derriere. Il falloit s’enquerir qui est mieux sçavant, non qui est plus sçavant.

A quotation from William Feather
An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t. It’s knowing where to go to find out what you need to know, and it’s knowing how to use the information once you get it.
William Feather (1889-1981) American publisher, author

"To prevent AI models from memorizing their input, we know exactly one robust method: differential privacy (DP). But crucially, DP requires you to precisely define what you want to protect. For example, to protect individual people, you must know which piece of data comes from which person in your dataset. If you have a dataset with identifiers, that's easy. If you want to use a humongous pile of data crawled from the open Web, that's not just hard: that's fundamentally impossible.
In practice, this means that for massive AI models, you can't really protect the massive pile of training data. This probably doesn't matter to you: chances are, you can't afford to train one from scratch anyway. But you may want to use sensitive data to fine-tune them, so they can perform better on some task. There, you may be able to use DP to mitigate the memorization risks on your sensitive data.
This still requires you to be OK with the inherent risk of the off-the-shelf LLMs, whose privacy and compliance story boils down to "everyone else is doing it, so it's probably fine?".
To avoid this last problem, and get robust protection, and probably get better results… Why not train a reasonably-sized model entirely on data that you fully understand instead?"

So, I got a card from a bank to be able to use the money I have stored there. So far, so good.
However, the card comes with a pin.
They tell you to memorize the pin and to destroy the piece of paper on which it came.
What bloody world are they living in??? One where Santa, Orcs, and Wizards are real?
How the fuck am I going to memorize this pin, on top of all the *other* pins I'm supposed to memorize.
I ask how I can change it.
They told me it cannot be changed.
:headache: :why:
Okay, okay. I'm just going to fucking ignore the bank's stupid security recommendations. No, I'm not writing it down. I have my system, but good grief. Wouldn't it be nice if they joined us, you know, in reality instead of living in a fantasy world?

I have always thought the most important tool in learning lines is understanding. If as an actor, you deeply understand what you and your scene partners are saying and why they are saying it, then the memorization of the lines will follow much more easily.

I don’t have a good memory for names, facesr, and details. I’ve built up a system of note taking and #memorization to work around my limits, and now I’ve written about it. https://www.daviddaly.me/2023/12/the-nerdiest-thing-i-do.html
This was a challenging piece to write, as it really is the nerdiest thing I do. And we don’t normally talk about the nerdy things we do. Maybe we should do that more.
