The idea gets more interesting depending on your idea of success. If success just means passing the course, you definitely don't need spaced repetition (but then again, you can also maybe get by via cramming two or three days before ea

My main motivation behind the switch was that I had too many daily reviews of very old cards that I knew well in Anki, after using the software very close to daily for several years. I read that SuperMemo handled older reviews better, and I

A major limitation exists for spaced repetition software (e.g. Anki, SuperMemo, or other flashcard-style systems), in my experience using them for several years for long-term memory: it's neither necessary nor sufficient to use this so

To make the comment easier to read for others, it looks like the commenter may have made a slight typo and meant to write "hearing" instead of heading, to convey: > "This is a classic curbcut in the sense that it will help

The depth of the reporting also depends on the article. For a particular example, I thought The Economist's article on GPT-3 published in June 2022—before ChatGPT would later be released in November—was particularly good, as the articl

I'm not sure what you mean, but all the publications are non-profit organizations—none of which I am affiliated with. Lapham's and The Conversation also don't have any paywalls, though Nautilus does have a soft paywall of two

An alternative approach of language learning I've tried has been studying with an audio tape series called Pimsleur Spanish, where the producers take the opposite approach to teaching: they provide minimal grammar explanations, but try

For feedback: I had trouble understanding what to do at first, as I couldn't find the instructions or premise of each game mode within the app itself (e.g. what is One Shot Prompt versus Talk It Out). I later found the instructions in

Haha. The importance of grades depends on your goals: on the one hand, I know two engineering grads who scored multiple great internships with a sub-3.0 GPA, with one landing a very high-paying job thanks to these internships. But on the ot

Though I lack personal experience with a historical approach to studying mathematics, a starting point could be the reading list by St. John's College as part of the materials the faculty uses to teach mathematics to their undergraduat

I can see both sides of the riskiness of studying the material before taking the course. On the one hand, a person who I see as highly accomplished person in mathematics told me that he did very well in his courses by pre-studying much of t

This is a good question that motivated a feature-length article published in The Economist this summer (which I've also referenced elsewhere in this comment section) [1]. The article argues that newer versions of constitutions are ofte

For a text, The Economist published a great introductory article (though paywalled) into modern approaches to national constitutions [1] this August, shortly before a failed referendum in Chile to change the country's constitution. An
