They both believe the product people focus on will commoditize. Tesla realized early that EVs without autonomy are a dead end for long-term dominance, just as NVIDIA believes models without infrastructure are a dead end for durable AI profits.
The first versions of Anki used the SuperMemo algorithm if I'm not mistaken.
I've actually since graduated to a 10.3" Boox E-ink tablet. It's too big for AnkiDroid or book reading, but it is terrific for note taking during meetings or lectures, reading and annotating technical documentation, calendar management, and web browsing. My next gift to self will either be a Tesla Roadster or a 7" E-ink device for AnkiDroid and books!
Haha. Well, you might be able to run flashcards in your Tesla. I once made an app to read books in a Tesla using text to speech. Gotta do something against the boredom once the thing drives itself! :)
For the bar exam, I used a combination of an outliner and flashcards. Back then, I was usimg a PalmPilot. The idea was:
1. Turn the subject matter into a knowledge tree.
2. If a branch has more than 5 leaves, you split it up.
3. Flashcards are generated by traversing the tree. The parent node is the question, the child nodes are the answer.
The benefit of the tree is that it forces you to think about where in your structure a given piece of new information fits.
I find it interesting that your comment centers around principles and justice. There are thousands of young people who are dying in trenches and blown to pieces by drones each week, and have been for the past three years. You don’t even mention them.
Well, see, we learned nearly a century ago that when someone aggressively expands and you give in to them to maintain "peace in our time", you don't get peace for very long. You wind up with more dead bodies, not less.
Fighting when it's needed leads to more dead this week than abject surrender would cause, but if history is any guide, it leads to fewer dead bodies this decade.
It’s easy to talk about “never appease an aggressor” when its someone else’s kid. Now it’s a story arch. Good vs evil. Entertainment! Like sports. You pick your team. But from the comfort of your tv, of course.
What AnimalMuppet shows with the failure of "peace in our time" is how speaking softly only works in combination with a big stick, to paraphrase a different politician from a different continent around a generation earlier than "peace in our time".
And Nietzsche. What is basically what Rand’s novels were based on. Too bad she fell for the “Will to Power” hoax.
