On a more serious note, how might the brain distinguish between exceptional vs routine memories? Feel like there would be a lot of edge cases, e.g. is a yearly recurring event (like a holiday) routine? Is a monthly event routine? Where is the line drawn?
I'm (obviously) not sure if this is related, but I know my brain has its own ideas about utility: I can easily recall the names of all seven castaways, and many actor's names in general, but I have to write down the names of people I worked with for two years so I can recall them later. And I can feel this messed-up sense of utility: even though I know in the abstract that real people's names are far more important,…
Where did you read about python coroutines?

I have the same problem occasionally, and I think you’ll find that you’re not alone, and (probably, hopefully) not getting early on set dementia. I have observed that it gets better the more often you call people by their name. I.e. practice…

That is a very strongly worded headline, given that the paper in question collects zero data about biological brains, and is only studying the behavior of single-layer artificial neural networks in Matlab: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01382-9 https://github.com/neuroai/Go-CLS_v2/tree/main

I'm in the same boat. I can recall faces and where I saw them extremely well, but boy o boy am I able to forget your name while you are saying it to me. It is as if nonesense is more fun for the brain and therefore gets remembered better.
