How does your zettlekasten system work?

Probably the spaced repetition application SuperMemo [1]. Beyond normal SRS like anki it has a feature called incremental reading [2] which makes studying at least 3 times as easy for me. I have ADHD so IR helps a lot by taking care of 90%

Ironically I'm using Mac over Linux because I want to use parallels to run a windows application that I must use. I tried using VMware for a while but it drove me insane that everytime I switched workspaces it would exit fullscreen.

Have you tried building one before? I built mine for the first time in February with 0 prior experience with such things and followed this guide: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-... If you'r

Is there some guide to that you recommend/have you considered writing one? I've been thinking of doing e-ink display + rasberry pi but your approach sounds cheaper and likely better for the environment.

Have you tried Notion? I recently started using it to manage prioritized tasklists (though not calendar, I usually just make a plan the day before). Cramming too much in seems problematic from a deep work stand point, best to be able to foc

Saw that recently as well, this post made me more hopeful I'd be able to put something together to work with it.

I've been thinking of something similar, I have a tasklist system prioritized and sorted by value/time (in Notion), would be nice to use one of these e-ink displays to display top few tasks so if I have some free time I can immedi

Surprised to see they're launching Yahoo Mobile in the west but there actually already is a ymobile in Japan that I personally use for data/calling. I use my own phone with it but I can't imagine them being able to set yahoo

I’d love being able to do that too but imagine if both of us had that same power. If we both have no prior experience with each other, it would either be wonderful (if both of us really have nothing we want to hide) or horrible (because ins

What he mentions about people being superficially nice to allow for more selectiveness is very interesting. I think it’s hard to say that being direct from the get go about interest is ideal beyond that reason alone because friendship with

That doesn't seem like enough, do you use an alarm clock?

I think there are much worse issues than just the wildlife trade. I think long-term we're gonna have a lot of issues with antibiotic resistance diseases as a result of overuse in the meat industry [1]. [1] https://www.scienc

On linux you can use SM via vmware/wine and on os x it's quite usable with parallels. If you're using SRS just for language learning then being able to use on mobile can be helpful but I think for those cases supermemo.com ca

The power of knowing things comes largely from the associative characteristics of knowledge. Having 2 facts on the net and 2 facts in your brain are entirely different. You can't create much with 2 facts in the net while 2 facts in you

Can't reply to child for some reason but the reason that SM is so great for managing content is a feature called incremental reading ( https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Incremental_reading ). To sum it poorly, it lets you

There is also SuperMemo 18 ( https://super-memo.com/supermemo18.html ) which is from the same people as supermemo.com except it's a desktop app with way more features but also a much higher learning curve. If you use SM

I really like this site [1] because it shows you just how big the gap between native and non-native speakers is. Non-native speakers generally know around 10,000 words while adult native speakers tend to know upwards of 20,000 words. I thin

Have you heard of Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis? [1] There are a couple of parts to it but it essentially says that linguistic competence (a fancy way to say your innate knowledge of a language) only increases when you take in inp

Wow, that's pretty cool. What level of iOS device do you need to run it? I try to avoid using my phone too much so I'm wondering if I could control it all with a really old iPad or a cheap old iTouch. Any recommendations on the IR

Are you familiar with Piotr Wozniak's writings on sleep? I think you might find them interesting https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Science_of_sleep . DSPS is pretty common and fairly natural considering how we've di

A lot of people here have been talking about headphones/blocking out noise. To that end I HIGHLY suggest buying some good earmuffs (I use the X5A) and inside those using earbuds. It’ll look ridiculous (though there are smaller sizes) b

I’ve found brain.fm works well for me though I also find earmuffs (I have the Peltor X5A) plus earbuds with very low wind noise to be extremely effective.

What kind of algorithm/system do you think you'd use to convert them into a consumption order?

For programming, you might find this video interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgrdg1uwDeA Larry Sanger (co-founder of wikipedia) found SuperMemo/SRS sort of clunky for use with program so he made a program wh
