Consider a sufficiently smooth simple closed convex plane curve enclosing the origin, expanding linearly with time. The root mean square of the discrepancy (number of lattice points minus area) from time t = M to t = M + 1 is almost as small as the root mean square discrepancy from time t = 0 to t = M, so the discrepancy has no memory.
