[From great-grandparent]: I
have a todo somewhere in my org files about writing up all my Anki experience
in a nice comprehensive article. One day I’m gonna get to it.
Gwern wrote the article I wanted to write. :) Everything worthwhile he doesn’t talk about I either already mentioned here or it’s very specific to a given purpose, like the use of morphological analysis to sort language cards.
Thanks. Gwern’s piece was a huge influence on me finally getting around to
using spaced repetition. Also influential:
variouspeople
on LW, including you, but a particular shout-out to
a couple
lukeprog
posts
that, while not directly relevant to my hardware, made me realize how quickly I
could take the first step.
Now I am better at doing arithmetic in my head and I know my immediate family’s
birthdays! (And more.)
John Conway on memorizing pi.
A Toothpaste for Dinner comic on how many digits of pi people have memorized.
That would be nice. I liked these comments a lot.
