It does remember things implicitly which god knows how it happens but also a explicit memory which you can always tell things to remember and it will update its memory (for me my height and weight; to avoid using em-dashes). In setting you can see a list of these explicit information

They are really lucky to have you at Northwestern. They don’t know yet what they did to their Department: with you they made Evanston go from a “qualitative” to an experimental hub! 😉

The seminar was one option for the sophomore tutorial for Government concentrators at Harvard College, designed to introduce students to research in political science and, above all, to teach them how to write in the discipline by developing a research prospectus, which could lead to senior thesis

The research program aims to revive political culture as a field by demystifying "culture" (long treated as a residual explanation), criticizing past excesses (e.g., Clash of Civilizations), and promoting interdisciplinary work and cross-cultural respect among the next gen of political scientists

I strived to connect classics in anthropology and cutting-edge work in cultural economics, evolution, and psychology with theories of political science, our tradition of studying political culture (social capital, values), debates in normative theory (justice, relativism), and policy implications

Ancient DNA from the Green Sahara reveals ancestral North African lineage - Nature
Pastoralism spread through cultural diffusion into the Green Sahara, where an isolated, distinct North African ancestry persisted.
Our study analyzing the DNA of ~7ky-old Pastoralists from the "Green Sahara" is out! Who were these people, and how did herding spread into the region when the present-day desert was dotted with water bodies? 🧬🦴🏜️ (1/7)
