This is pretty similar to a ML Engineering interview question I got once. Basically, you get some mildly obfuscated code implementing a statistical concept and you have to tease out what the code is doing. Then you have to fix a few bugs, t

Glad to see more work in the 'stable memories' camp win out against the 'the brain is too stochastic and therefore unstable' theories. As a complement to this work on short-term memory, here's one of my favorite pap

I don't think I know a single latino who accents their Spanish and their name consistently. If I texted my dad asking where the accents in my name are, he might not actually know, lol. Obvious exception for formal writing.
