Added a new calendar to track reviews. Level 1 = daily, L2 = 2 days, L3 = 4 days, L4 = 8 days, L5 = 16 days, L6 = 32 days, L7 = 64 days. Might add another level or an archive once enough cards are super-super easy. I write out the answers on paper to help the learning process.
Linux 6.15 Memory Management improvements
The upcoming version of Linux will incorporate many memory management improvements that will make your PC better than before. This pull request, which is already migrated to the main Linux 6.15 Git, incorporates many memory management changes that will achieve that goal of making your PC manage memory better than before. As this pull request mentions a possible Linux 6.15 RC1 release by just a title, we expect that this release candidate will be released on April 6th.
A new command-line options, hugetlb_alloc_threads, has been added to the Linux kernel that allows you to choose how many threads are in use, with the default being a reasonable 25% to make your computer boot up faster. This is when allocating a large number of huge pages, which will see around 2.75x to 4.3x speedup on Skylake and Cascade Lake systems.
Alongside with this change, there is another interesting patch series that revolved around making the huge pages allocator more reliable than before. It reduces fragmentation to allow larger requests to be met more quickly, while making the operation cheaper.
In the pull request linked above, you can find a list of patch series that are merged to the Linux 6.15 source code.
The Conversation: Is Google Maps brainwashing us? It might be if the theory of ‘extended cognition’ is correct. “When compared to how common it is for the Google search engine to boost misinformation and fake news, and feed into confirmation bias, changing the name of a body of water might not seem like a big deal. But the philosophical theory of ‘extended cognition’ suggests such changes […]

How to make your workshop/meeting/conference middle-aged friendly? Consider participants' memory, vision, hearing, physicality, and content.
I'm enjoying the regular articles on The Memory Palace, written by academics in Philosophy of Memory.
The latest discusses whether memory is a 'natural kind' or 'social kind'.
That is, is memory based solely on neurology and other biological systems?
Or is memory something that exists in the context of social structures, like love or gender?

"Dry-erase ink is not similar to tattoo ink, but it is almost identical to ink from a permanent marker. And if you leave it on a surface for long enough, especially a porous surface, it will remain. The brain is a porous surface. Memory is a porous surface."
