Another data point for the operator being ignored. Probably an unfortunate participant of an A/B experiment. But my search quality is close to the point of searching for alternatives.

This talk is some of the most mind-blowing stuff I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

Neither life after death nor memories require the existence of an inherent self (see the Buddhism belief in karma, rebirth, and past-life recollection which coexist happily with the doctrine of no-self). But you're right in that they d

You are correct. Some domain knowledge is needed if you want to get the correct dependencies. They can be changed without affecting the exercises so it's not set on stone. So you could try to make a lesson for the initial topics and tr

I've been working on https://github.com/trane-project/trane for the past year or so, mostly to get around these limitations. I tried to find a way to use Anki or another existing software to aid my music practice,

What you want already exists. It's called Qobuz. I switched from spotify and I am pretty happy. It does not have any bells and whistles but it's exactly what I want. Just music and playlists. With the added benefit that it has los

by trane_project 4y ago
Yeah. I really wanted to try it but I couldn't get the commands to work. All the issues seem related to another gem written by the same author, which has not been updated since around the same time. Not knowing ruby, I can't reall

It's just too much work. Just doing it in one key is a lot, and you have to do that twelve times (fifteen if you want to be thorough and include all the enharmonic keys). So I am glad someone seems to have done it all already in a comm

Curiously enough, I have been working on a project named after the same person (John Coltrane) as a way to help me practice music: https://github.com/trane-project/trane/ I have been meaning to generate flashcards

I started doing that with my own project after I reverted a (correct) change a few weeks later because I forgot to write down the original reasoning anywhere. No other contributors so far, so I can't say how much it helps on that front

There are at home sleep tests. Basically a wristband that measures your sleep. Then you take it back to the clinic and they read the results. I don't remember how much it was but it wasn't too much.

I never said I had solved it, only that I was working on solving it. Nowhere in the documentation or in my comments here I intended to give the impression this is anywhere close to done or intended for the general public at this time. There

My bad. I'll consider it when I decide to work on a GUI.

by trane_project 4y ago
Sure. I would love some help. I am visiting my family all March (I am typing this from the airport), so I don't know how much time I'll have to work on trane for the next month. But maybe that gives you some time to use it, and re

The problem is bridging the gap between the ideal solution (everyone gets an individual tutor) that scales for everyone. It's not meant to replace teachers, but it reduces the amount of individual teaching needed. In my own case, once

The courses are markdown and JSON files in GitHub so close enough. It does restrict a bit because it assumes some technical proficiency, but there's probably some middle ground (open a GitHub issue to suggest changes and have someone e

I know it's possible. But the last time I did any frontend work, jQuery was the state of the art. So I decided that for now my efforts are better spent nailing the core experience and creating more courses.

by trane_project 4y ago
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it, but for now just have the .trane directory in the folder right above. I guess you are right. The textbooks definitely have dependencies, but that seems to be the very problem that you have wit

I think ultimately it's a very different approach to their current one, so it might be too difficult to do in the existing codebase. Maybe not, I have not looked at the code. But the public docs and learning philosophy around anki all

by trane_project 4y ago
Main difference with anki is that anki explicitly discourages trying to make dependencies between flashcards or decks. I tried to work out something like that into Anki, but as I saw it, dependencies were core to what I had in mind. There&#

by trane_project 4y ago
Yeah, this is cool and similar to the end state I have in mind. The main difference is that I am not trying to create the curriculum/exercises. I am just creating flaschards that say "Solve exercise x.y.z in that textbook". P

Going through the list, it seems like all of them only work on very specialized subjects and/or are not published. I have read about the DARPA tutor, but I don't think it's been made publically available. So I doubt anyone he

I started working on this a few weeks ago: https://github.com/trane-project/trane-math It currently needs a README, but you could take a look at the courses on how I am building the flashcards. It's easy to refere

by trane_project 4y ago
Definitely. I have not worked in frontend/ux stuff for over 10 years, and I am working on this by myself, so I have been focusing on the CLI to quickly iterate and prove that it works reasonably well. Part of the reason of trying it ou

Thanks for the feedback. An excel course should be doable. Currently the most general way to write material is to use this: https://trane-project.github.io/generated_courses/knowledge_... Basically a folder of lessons

by trane_project 4y ago
That personal tutoring leads to better outcomes is not the problem. That will obviously be the case. The problem is how to bridge the gap in a way more people realize similar benefits.

I am already working on fixing this: https://github.com/trane-project/trane/ No AI needed. Just an old fashioned depth first search through a graph of skills and dependencies. I made it to help me practice music,

Thanks. I am working on simplifying how new material is added (for simple cases, editing a single JSON file and running a build command will be enough to build all the exercises). That should make it easier to create more stuff for it, whic

by trane_project 4y ago
When I played with it, I made it output a JSON file so that it would be easier to handle the output. And I specifically gave it the text to use. It did a pretty good job, but I ran into output size limits. I agree that using the training da
