I think the problem comes down to: there is no good way to retain the information. And writers don't think about it either. Most writers will say you need to "practice" and "apply" whatever you read while being very

Why do it through university when you have the internet and can more effectively learn things by yourself?

Incorrect :) I use SuperMemo via parallels on my hackintosh. I know a lot of other people also using parallels on Mac. On Linux, a kind soul got SuperMemo working via wine: https://www.supermemopedia.com/wiki/SuperMemo_

Maybe this link will work: https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/articles/20ru... If we go with the example you mentioned as a card: “You’re at a conference and you start talking to someone about [T

I unfortunately don’t have a link on it but this is mainly because active recall is far better than just passive review for memory effect. Memories are like muscles: the more you struggle (without actually failing) the stronger the memory g

I think what you’re looking for is forgetting curves: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve You might also find spaced repetition cool: https://ncase.me/remember/

by rajlego 6y ago
It’s even more nonsense when you look at recall over longer periods of time. If you look at forgetting curves (like Ebbinghaus) no matter how well you read a book there’s no way after a month you’ll remember more than say 10%. I don’t think

I don’t think cards like that work over 10 years because they violate minimum information principle (rule 4 here: http://super-memory.com/articles/20rules.htm ). I agree though that you have to find the right cue to ini

What do you mean by the classical version of SuperMemo? Why not incremental reading? I think a lot of the issues you mentioned are hinged on formulation which is a really hard skill and requires a lot of practice. Unfortunately I think anki

I like this. A lot of people underestimate starting small because they want to maximize value generated from the start but really starting small and building up is the way to go. Might find this: https://supermemo.guru/wiki&

That's an interesting technique for eliminating FOMO, knowing what you need in advance to get to where you want to go so you don't have to worry about shinier things. Point 2 reminds me of Peter Thiel's power law: https:&#x2

It wouldn't work for all of your tasks but have you tried prioritized tasklist (tasklists assigned a value and a time and then sorted by that). I have ADHD meaning managing doing things is horrible but with prioritized tasklist I can j

I have the perfect tool for you if you're willing to suffer through getting used to it: SuperMemo [1]. The basic feature it starts with is spaced repetition [2]. Spaced repetition is good. But terribly boring if you're making card

If it’s too risky I’d assume the company would have enough money to not have to resort to building hackintoshes

I forget if there’s a better way to describe it but usually if there’s going to be a failure, it’ll be at the beginning (unless you’re constantly updating software which does have some risk)

I hadn’t considered this at all mainly because I haven’t heard of apple taking legal actions against people promoting hackintosh related things and methods. Though I guess it could become a problem for a company.

You could build a hackintosh instead. Pain to get software set up just right but when it is it works great.

Do you have any links on what you mentioned about the "rule of simple explanations"? It seems like a useful mental model.

Was gonna say exactly this. Doing something small and actually accomplishing makes a huge difference because it tells your brain I am capable of doing things . From there it becomes easier to slowly raise the bar of what your brain thinks
