I wouldn't be so sure perfect recall rules out linear RNNs, because I haven't seen any conclusive data on their ability to recall. Have you?

In fields such as Math, Physics, EE, CS, and AI, "peer review" is already being replaced by open debate online. Cutting-edge research in those fields is now routinely posted first on repositories like arXiv, with supporting code
