   Are you familiar with democratic schools or sudburry schools? They give children near complete freedom and are basically the answer to schooling issues. Unfortunately, they seem to have not spread too widely for issues I don't understa

   Ah, when I said massively better I was mainly referring to in terms of SuperMemo skill. I started talking a lot to them around February which is also when we all started to improve but I didn't know them well enough last year to be abl

   Yeah, that's definitely a problem. I will say though, if you use a VM you can get a not too bad experience on both mac and linux (I've tried both and found it usable enough for daily use).

   Have you tried SuperMemo? Intervals matter because they correlate with rep loads. The more accurate the intervals, the lower daily rep loads can be. The SuperMemo creator has spent 3 decades and collected plenty of data, it's hard to i

   Do you have an example article? Would be easier to give some concrete advice with that since I'm not 100% sure what you mean by scientific articles (which I personally find fine. I do not find scientific papers so fine though).

    I think that's one of the things I find most appealing about his writings in general. Most people don't go to global optima solutions because there are various constraints while Woz just does not bother. These suggestions cannot b

    naps are AWESOME. Woz claims somewhere that without naps, his brain is at 60% or somesuch second half of day. Same for me (likely even worse since I usually don't get enough night sleep). One reason I never want to work for a normal co

    2) while I don't have an easy reference, a number of studies have found that even strenuous exercise before bed does not seem to impair sleep. As with everything sleep related there could easily be lots of individual variation but in g

    I would disagree :) I think the main idea of SuperMemo (now) is actually incremental reading: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Incremental_reading though it is nowhere near as popular as spaced repetition. I think we'l

    Beautiful idea. Courses that improve over time iterated on research would be amazing.

    Wow, that's insane. There's a program called SuperMemo which has a feature called sleepchart. In sleepchart, you plot sleep episodes which gives you some neat data that can help figure out things like subjective night [1]. But sin

    This is really weird to me but to each their own. I think it's partially because of ADHD but I really hate doing HW/writing essays that I feel are useless, which tends to be pretty common in uni.

    I think there's a huge difference between having a guide and being in university. Having a guide is really helpful but going to university for that benefit feels a bit misguided because you're stuck learning what other people thin
