Now, just to write one article that wouldn't necessarily have been a good use of time. But a nice thing about Anki is that the information is retained. When the AlphaGo Zero and AlphaZero papers came out, they were very easy to read.

It's easy to overdo it, especially initially, and waste time Ankifying useless info. Over time, I've found myself cultivating heuristics for how much to Ankify.

E.g., for many papers the answer is 0 to 5 questions. But for papers I want to understand better it might be 20 to 40. And for deep papers that I want to master it may be hundreds.

I've found little use in other people's decks (or Duolingo, which is similar to having an auto-generated deck). One strong, reliable finding in memory research is that depth of encoding makes a huge difference.

This would be super interesting, especially with stuff like history books. We could have a store where people share ankified books/papers and others can just add them to their collection.
