Daily checklist

  • Set up Anki
  • Ordered book on cognitive science to better understand rationality, hopefully I don’t regret it.

Notes

  • From Gwern spaced repetition
    • ” if, over your lifetime, you will spend more than 5 minutes looking something up or will lose more than 5 minutes as a result of not knowing something, then it’s worthwhile to memorize it with spaced repetition.”
    • The dividing line between trivia and useful data.
    • Might be worth creating separate decks for just reminders of previous thoughts I’ve had
    • Gwern suggests inter mingling decks to keep things fresh
  • Need to think about how I would like flow to work
  • Frequentianism vs Bayesian ism the former is not empiricism as it hypothesises future experiments (It’s also what we learn in school)
