Everyone and their pet dog is making longer term memory systems at the same time, and they all seem kind of meh. Not casting aspersions here, my own attempts all crash and burn too. And better than nothing is still better than nothing.

Thing is, this seems like it might be a Hard Problem of some sort. Everyone trying, no one making a clean breakthrough, I feel like it's some sort of smell. Either the desired function isn't well understood, or there's something missing, or it's in some weird complexity class, or ... something. My spidey senses tingle.

I wonder if others have the same feeling?
