      Been working through this and now have a much better idea of how Anki could help with conceptual learning. Looks promising for sharpening vague understanding, and I have a tendency towards stopping at only a vague understanding, so could potentially be very useful. https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/1107782685798227970 …

      I made a *very* feeble attempt to try Anki after reading @michael_nielsen's essay, and weirdly the first cards I made were the Pauli matrices (always forget them). Quickly gave up as I didn't really get the point. http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html

      My relationship to & use of Anki has changed over a few years: - made my own ‘concept cards’ proforma which generates about 5 standard question cards per concept - I use a graded easy to difficult card approach, starting with, eg: keywords, main proponents, key works 1/2

      Interesting! I've never used Anki at all, thought of it as 'that thing medical students use to memorise a load of facts'. So the idea of using it for deep understanding is new to me, will have to experiment.

          Thank you, that looks really useful! I skimmed it at the time but then (ironically) completely forgot about it by the time I read your QC post.

          That all makes good sense to me. I had read your previous Anki essay, but not this one. The process you describe almost exactly mirrors the way I use Anki, for math & CS. That makes me wonder whether starting out with a desire for a particular sort of remembering

          naturally leads to the ‘deep Ankification’ process you describe. Also, I’m entirely self-teaching (obvious problems as well as advantages). Anki does in some way for me, take the place of institutional structure. That might sound like a grandiose claim for a small app:
