>>108740158using anki is only useful for things you do once in a full moon where natural repetition won't let you memorize it like a normal human being.i'd rather use google for these cases but to each his own.
>>108740205I just discovered it recently and I couldn't believe something this good could be completely free. I love it. I've gone back to school recently and have been transferring all my lecture notes to anki.You can fill in the blanks, do question and answer, mark cards by difficulty, have all your data auto synced between the web, desktop and android
>>108740158Asking about very specific words and expressions I can't easily google is probably 90% of my LLM use which is not a whole lot overall.
>>108740158This is honestly right. Active recall is one of the things you lose with AI and there is pretty good data showing that active recall is the most important part of learning.
>>108740158What should I learn with Anki to enhance general active recall skills?
>>108742163anki is a very overrated memebut learning japanese is one of the legit usecases for it
>>108741955Try using it on iPhone and tell me how is it free.
>>108740158How do you use this effectively?The friction of making cards stops me from using it
>>108742203It takes severe autism to be able to build a quality deck. If you're not autistic enough, look for premade ones.
>>108740158Just use mnemonics.If you require some software, or even any tool other than your own mind, you’re not going to make it.
i prefer doing on paper so when i'm outside i can bring them with me.and no you don't need paper special notecard sold x100 your A4 paper you get for less 0.5 cent. You take a A4 paper and you take your scissors.it's crazy how the average westerner is such a retarded unimaginative guy.Covid did something more than depressing them.
>>108740158usecase for that thing?
>>108743025Making sure you never forget whatever you put on the cards with the minimum amount of time spent reviewing.
>>108740158Name one successful person wasting his time with flashcards
Parsing tables has been the bane of my existence. I'm glad AI is around for that
>>108740158Anki is great for what it is, but it’s not a magic hack to learning. It streamlines long term memorization but outside of foreign language vocab or shit like memorization heavy premed courses it’s of very limited use
>>108742203>>108742211>what would I ask myself to check if I know this concept?if you have trouble posing yourself that question it might be unironically over for you
>>108740158anki is gay shit
>>108742203The ease of making cards is what attracted me to it. You can just write questions and answers on a csv file and then import it to anki.

>>108742203I actually once had this exact thought, so I build a chrome extension that let you highlight and create a card with a single click, as easy as downloading a file.

>>108743123But what exactly do I need to even remember in 2026 besides passwords and seed phrases
>>108740158NotebookLM makes the cards for you
I prefer supermemo. Anki is for people who only need basic flashcards and use Linux or OSX. There is still no good incremental reading solution outside of supermemo. Also the interleaving is bad, while its the default in supermemo. Tired of people discovering the the algo and then making basic bitch apps that still have 1/10th the features of supermemo. The only thing some apps have is better latex and slightly better image occlusion.
>>108742190i am too much of a kike to give them my moneyso i sideloaded anki on my phoneit takes a litte bit of effort but its possible to have it for free, i also now use sideloading for a bunch of other shit such as youtube/spotify

>>108745654Dont bother with ai slopped cardsPicking what matters for you to remember is a solid chunk of the benefit you’ll get out of flashcards
>>108745605>2) Learn before you memorizehow do you apply this when learning a foreign language?
>>108742190>only the iPhone version costs moneyto me it looks like the Anki devs understand their target audiences
>>108746214I doubt it is meant to apply to that, since it clearly says rules and facts.But if you really want to make it fit... you should already know the definition of the word in the foreign language you're learning. Presumably you are not learning the word for "table" in japanese without know what a table is in English first. Maybe you'd even want to read a little etymology too, that would absolutely help. In fact that's basically what radical learning is.If you want to take it to heart when learning Japanese for example, you'd learn the radicals, kanji, and vocabulary for a word all the the same time and how they relate, so you have the complete picture of the word, and only then study each individually.Of course many would say that's overkill, unless you are aiming to be a lingustics scholar or become king weeb and shame japanese for not knowing their langauge
