#mnemonics — Public Fediverse posts

✋🧠 Humans have used finger joints and palms as portable #memory devices for over a millennium to track calendar dates and musical scales.

These manual systems provided both visual and physical ways to store information independently of written manuscripts. Modern examples include tracking the length of months on knuckles or applying #physics rules in the classroom.

Remember folks, spring back then fall forward.

I made this 8 years ago as a joke, this week I couldn't remember what was real!

This is the power of #mnemonics & catchy slogans.

FALSE ones can be more powerful than the truth.

If you've done any assembly language programming, especially on the C64 certain hex numbers stay in your mind forever.

I have a set of these floating in my Hex Memory Matrix which pop up under various circumstances.

I loved writing to the display on the VIC IC with the ROM routines. Logical that that Hex address is in the upper range of the hex matrix. The same with writing to the SID chip.

@maddiefuzz

You are absolutely right
When someone sits on a system with just an assembler and schematics to the ROM routines to program a device they will appreciate how much that amount of space is

Please help me find examples of truthiness lacking _loci_ or *identity* mnemonics.
As an example of truthiness, consider this response a question about a certain election:
"I think that *Donald Trump and I* have both raised a number of issues with the _2020 election_, but *we're* focused on the _future_. *I* think there's an obsession _here_ with focusing on 2020 — *I'm* much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide open _border_" - JD V

If anyone, like me, struggles with remembering Albertosaurus versus Edmontosaurus, (one is a carnivore, one is a plant eater)

I just thought of a mnemonic:

Albertosaurus, like Queen Victoria, had a ravenous appetite. Albertosaurus for meat, Queen Victoria for Empires.

(Queen Victoria was, of course, married to Prince Albert.)

Eww, I came up with a disgusting mnemonic for a word, and now it's stuck in my brain :neofox_googly_shocked:

You stand on your “feet.” That EE in the middle also is a shoe width that I can sometimes squeeze into. A “feat” is an achievement, related to the word “fact.” Getting an A in class can be quite a feat. #words #spelling #mnemonics

We are organizing and hosting the USA Memory Championship Organization's "Tournament of Memory Champions" at the Kresge Auditorium at MIT on November 10th(Sunday).

During the event, we will have short scientific talks about the benefits of mnemonic and cognitive training in health and in education.

The event is free and open to the public!

Please register here, and join us if you are in the Boston area:

Part 4 is up! All bugs fixed and some peculiar methods for testing. Decoding and encoding now works fully correct, but code needs to be refactored.

Part 3 is there! Encoding and Decoding works just fine, but I found that the quality of my corpus is bad, which needs fixing. It's not a problem with the code, but with the data quality which needs manual inspection.

#Mnemonics #Encoding #NaturalLanguageProcessing #nltk

Aaand part 2 is up. A PoC for encoding is ready, but not bulletproof yet.

Everyone should have a pet-OCD, and my obsession is esoteric encoding schemes. That kept me awake last night, and now I'm giving in.

Part 1 of a handful; from idea to product, I present you "How to convert arbitrary binary data into English sentences and back again."

Part 2 in the making.

@shiz I am always in favour of new mnemonics. (A good mnemonic is often a bit stupid.🙂)

Season: រដូវ

#Khmer #Cambodia #PhnomPenh #Mnemonics #Language

This word means season in most expected ways, and is used colloquially to mean even more.

An interesting tidbit I learned whilst doing some research is that according to ancient Cambodian writings there were six seasons of 59 days each: cold season (រដូវរងា); very cold season (រដូវរងាខ្លាំង); season of growth (in trees); hot season (រដូវក្ដៅ); rainy season (រដូវភ្លៀង), and foggy season.
