Nice experiment on such details
The Ctrl+Shift+F6 shortcut has been very helpful for me, as it allows direct access to the HTML code. However, to use it, I need to be outside of edit mode or press Esc first. I also use inline CSS to design my SuperMemo collection. In reading mode (when viewing an article or a fragment of an article), pressing Ctrl+Shift+F6 directly shows the HTML code of the current window. In windows with both a question (front card) and an answer (back card), Ctrl+Shift+F6 applies to the last clicked window. For example, if I'm editing the question and press Esc, followed by Ctrl+Shift+F6, the HTML edit window (Notepad) will show the code for the question. Similarly, if the answer was the last active window, pressing Esc and then Ctrl+Shift+F6 will open the HTML code for the answer. Understanding how HTML and CSS work, at least using inline CSS via the style attribute, is essential for making your SuperMemo collection more visually appealing. 😀

Did he mention that? I guess he means 3h straight
Impressive that the TWO CENTS are!!!
This is a fantastic document! It seems to contradict what we know of sleep science. In theory, you should get very tired of working intellectually, and this would kill the fun of learning eventually and provoke switching activities or going to sleep. Perhaps your pleasure of learning reached little known levels? Could you have induced sort of manic state? But then nodding off should be less likely. A pleasurable combat between sleep and wakefulness is most likely to occur at the time of waking. Remnants of sleep inertia may drag you back, while the pleasurably alert mind may keep waking you up. In theory, this could happen many times in the span of 20-40 min in combination with hypnopompic hallucinations. However, in the presented case, there should already be high homeostatic fatigue that favors deep sleep. Needless to say, learning before sleep is not too effective. But if it is driven by true fun and excitement then it is hard to argue against!
2:38 looks like a bug, but it works nicely with my tasklists. so I will check how it behaves with an empty tasklist
no. I cannot reproduce the problem
You might be missing something, like all taskslist empty and there is only one task etc. I will investigate firther once I finish the course.
@@PleasurableLearning keep digging. I will try to reproduce what you find and report back!
Those 60+ year-olds in your yt stats is absolutely Woz 😅
Fun fact the account he uses must lie about his age. Woz watched my videos since Dec 2020 and I got his age group to zero on the videos he commented for a very long while
Great guide and interpretation!!
Great contents, I Can’t wait to see more of them🎉🎉
12:29 technically, this might be a good long-term investment. if your strategy is to incrementally increase awareness of supermemo and incremental reading to the point where it explodes (or at least has a small 'explosion'), the return on tutoring and donations in the future could be much higher than anticipated. sorry i had to, i'm currently still enrolled at a business university :P

Proud of you for all the projects you have been undertaking recently!!
Not as recently as you might think. I have been actively working on this project since June :) Incrementally and not that incrementally
@@PleasurableLearning That sounds pretty recent to me :))
*on a supermemo-biased timescale
Make the videos in the course as short as possible and to the point. Make them of atomic concepts. It would be easier to search youtube for specific concept or topic and will be more helpful.
Hi, It is designed like that. I actually mention the very same point. That is why there are about 160 videos. The first two sections have longer videos but once they start screencasting Supermemo the average duration is 4-5 minutes. Some exceptions apply but are "soft" (like philosophy behind supermemo, knowledge formulation etc)
You can see quite a lot of video titles in this part of the video ruclips.net/video/nfyAU2E1NUw/видео.html and are quite atomic. I recorded 60 videos to date, and sometimes I further split a video into two that I had planned. The editing will be lagging behind like my outstanding queue :)

I also tried to keep Internet Explorer alive, but Microsoft just wanted it to die so it became a hell to use
Thanks Williams, it’s what we need more details on supermemo🎉🎉❤
I remember reading this article in 2012 and feeling limitless potential flowing through my brain. I had only used Spaced Repetition (Anki) at that time to learn Chinese and a few other things, but I hadn't used proper Incremental Reading before and still had tons of bad habits. By fate, I remembered and reread this article about 2 weeks ago. It still inspires me to this day, and using SRS through this time has enabled me to live a full and productive life. Maybe not the life I imagined I would lead once I "trained myself to become a genius". But it has worked for me, and I will continue to use Incremental Reading / Learning until I die or no longer can operate a computer.
Happy to hear that! IR for life :) I hope to introduce more people to SRS/IR so they can change their life for the better
Trying to import xml with images from supermemo 18 to anki I get an error in anki: ‘Element’ object has no attribute ‘data’ . Is there anything to do about it? Thanks
It's been a very long time I don't import XML to Anki. I know there has been quite a few big changes since 24.X (when they changed the version naming system basically). I will take a look and I might do a video for this
Also, where your say it cannot be taught or practiced, but in fact individual skills can be practiced e.g. 1:1 memory-action rule.
Exactly. The very abstract layer of Incremental Reading, when you "get it" is an internal process. That doesn't contradict that some skills required or used in Incremental Reading can be learned or adquired. Precisely that is what I do - or try to do - for most of my tutoring. I got two people what went beyound 60 hours of tutoring. I help them a lot, but they still needed the internal process of sense making and putting everything together in their minds. At the end of the day, the mindset, the paradigm shift is the eventual result when they make the "click" and what is required to fully understand Incremental Reading. Some other tutorees did the "click" with less than 10 hours with me. As contrast, some other people just got one session for consultancy to get their own needs covered and they don't fully understand IR.
With each additional video from you about incremental reading I feel less and less like I understand or fully use it. Such mysticism 🤷😭
Oh ! I focused on the most abstract layer of the method, as oposed to extracting clozing etc. It is really clear in my mind and at the same time I find it really hard to express it, including to my previous self. No worries that is not your case, I am 99.985% confident you understand IR
0:45 what’s the point of secondary storage? Is your secondary storage folder not inside your git repo? How do you backup your secondary storage?
Secondary storage is a feature that was meant to overcome hard disk space shortage many years ago. I have used secondary storage for local videos are these files are large. A backup is done by rutinely backing up the folder I used as the secondary folder. I no longer use the secondary storage as I don't use videos and my files fit below the 1 GB file size limitation for gitlab.
You once said the limit on the number of concepts a collection can have is 8 million. Did you mean that the limit on the number of elements in general is 8 million?
Exactly, the bottleneck is imposed by the element count. So the max number of concepts you can have is the same of elements having no other element types. These limits are very far from being reachable by humans
Appreciate your dedication to the software, method, and frequent videos. I've had a hard time using it but value the method none the less. Currently using Logseq and only backlinks, no spaced repetition....really wish I had the will to force myself though the wilderness phase of SuperMemo.
Hello. What is that application you are using? Is that available for download?
Its called Supermemo for Windows. You can download and use older releases for free here super-memory.com/english/down.htm
I was one of those searches on March 8, 2008. Read that article on a flight from Albuquerque, NM to NYC. It took me about 8 years before I 'got it' and gave SuperMemo a more serious go.
Vivid memory huh :) I needed 11 years and in fact I read the wired article after using SM. I came across the article when searching photos of Woz rather than Supermemo
Finally today I got a diagnosis for my right eye: Recurrent corneal erosion, with nocturnal lagophthalmos as exacerbating factor is what made me switch to light mode after more than a decade
The main issue with SuperMemo is that only a few, like you, are willing to share it with the world. Some interesting tools to better use SuperMemo exists in the Chinese community, but they’re inaccessible to most, including me due to language barrier and inability to use and join the China only logins. While SuperMemo may look outdated, its core functionality, knowledge management, and complexity are unmatched. There will never be another Supermemo unless Wozniak himself decides to write one. It's a testament to Wozniak's deep expertise in spaced repetition and incremental reading. SuperMemo still persists because it's unique, but it's also self-centered around Wozniak himself. He seems determined to let it die with him, as it is nearly impossible to preserve or rewrite without his guidance even if the whole codebase gets available.
Regarding the tools used by Chinese community. That is indeed true. Some users have develop a quite sophisticated flow with an app similar to AutoHotKey and it is not used outside of the chinese community due the language barrier. Additionally, the insights surronding their tools and flows are also segregated.
Once again, thanks for reacting to my video. I think your take was good and fine level of corrections based on your perspective. The intentional swap of 20 and 21 is a joke and reference to 42 / 2. For the curious watcher, I did prototype a user interface implementing affinity diagrams but my conclusion was that implementing Incremental reading on top of different tools would never work well and at best be a gimmick. So unfortunately development on Ichiban stopped.
Ahh yes, I forgot about the 21! There was a time that you really had this present in your streams
Could be Ichiban have been an evolved project of SliceR? that is the name I remember
@@PleasurableLearning no the SliceR project is still in research phase and there are no prototypes yet. Ichiban is a project that I did build but never made public. The idea with SliceR is very different since it’s not building on top of any tool but a separate browser implementation with native support for incremental reading.
I don't think PDF support is not something Piotr would want. The problem is implementation which is costly and error-prone. It is enough if you take a look at available PDF-HTML converters. There are plenty of those on the market. But you are faced with compromises, caveats, etc. that ultimately make using Copy-Paste a more viable solution.
You have been missed :)
I really despiese PDF format. I don't understand how a propietary format became a standard. It is optimized to look a certain way, not to actually contain the characters, so you end up with tons of problems related to ligatures line breaks and other
@@PleasurableLearning Thank you. I am glad to see you keep producing those videos. I thought you were to stop.
I doubt LaTEX is challenging. I got this in 20 seconds from AI: "JavaScript libraries like MathJax or KaTeX to render LaTeX in HTML. These libraries can convert LaTeX code into HTML and MathML, making it display correctly in web browsers"
Supermemo uses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Forms which uses IE7 and doesnot have support for modern web standards and running script such as mathjax or katex. Supporting LaTEX would require a rewrite of its core which is very costly.
the mshtml.dll right?
If SuperMemo was democratic, it would be Anki. If it was Anki and had a lot of money, it would be Duolingo. At some point, it would become Truth Social. That's the Singularity of vox populi :)
Ahh such a great way to put it, I was more verbose in my point later in the video and I think I was not as clear. I will borrow this sentence from now on :)
I agree that that being stern on your product's vision is good. I'm curious about what bad habits you picked up from anki addons?
I plan to cover than on video eventually. In short: A) violate fundamental principle of atomicity: an add-on to create tables easily and make 30-40 clozes in a single table (used primarily for university) B) ability to quickly create (or semiautomate) flashcards with close to null applicability, so I memorized thousands of facts/vocab that I never used outside of Anki. C) modify the scheduler that ended up to even higher repetition count than the default settings at marginal retention gain
In your 'contents' tab, why do you have a mix of both concepts and topics as children?
concepts can be nested. Some concepts are "finished" in the sense that I will never use it again and will only contain what is already inside the concept group, so I delete the concept, therefore the concept element becomes a folder. I do this because I follow the minimum concept principle. This flow is not required by any means.
I don’t know what this is, but I want to use it
It's called Supermemo. You can download older versions for free (freeware) super-memory.com/english/down.htm
Whoa!! Apparently youtube silently deletes comments which contain links behind my back. So you'll have to google the title to read the article. 11:04-11:32 Great metaphor!! I'm in the incremental process of learning how to cook since I moved to Barcelona in May. Cooking metaphor truly resonated, deserves its own short for sure Just for context - Andy Matuschak's "How to write good prompts: using spaced repetition to create understanding" has been of invaluable help in this as well as other unrelated but structurally similar endeavors. I had it in my collection since 2020-2021 but (hindsight: unfortunately) only now started engaging with it.
I have set the least strict option for comment moderation in my channel. I think links to external sites are always problematic due to spam prevention. I think ommiting the http or www part could be enough so the user could copy and add the missing characters. Inconvenient I know
Here is the link andymatuschak.org/prompts/
6:04 Never Edit: Straightforward guess! Hahah
Do you think incremental reading will become as widespread as spaced repetition?
I hope so! Being rational, SRS will always be more popular than IR. SRS has a clear, simple purpose-memorization-which makes it easy to understand and adopt. IR is a superset of SRS, more complex and demands a different kind of commitment, which might limit its appeal to a more niche audience. That said, as more people become aware of the benefits of IR, especially for learning in-depth and managing information overload, we could see its popularity grow, but not with Supermemo as the tool that implements it.
Hi there, I'm your fan from China. I've learned a lot from you, both through Bilibili and various RUclips channels, including how to use SuperMemo. I used to focus more on which algorithm between SuperMemo and Anki was better and which one helped me retain information longer. I often wondered whether I should switch to Anki (especially after they introduced the FSFR algorithm). But after watching your "Anki vs. SuperMemo" video, where you compared SuperMemo to a Tesla and Anki to just a wardrobe, I gained a deeper understanding of SuperMemo. SuperMemo can serve as an all-in-one station for storing, processing, and memorizing information. Although I find the reading experience on SuperMemo quite poor, I don't read books directly on it. Instead, I import excerpts from every book I read into SuperMemo for processing, re-reading, and deciding which parts to turn into items for memory. After processing information this way, I've noticed a significant improvement in retention. I used to worry about forgetting what I read or not being able to use it (I read over 100 books a year), but now I'm happy that I can control the knowledge I input into my brain. I can decide what to remember and what to discard, and I can reshape my mind in the way I want. Moreover, during daily processing, related themes from different books often naturally connect, which not only boosts my creativity but also strengthens my knowledge retention. Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos about incremental reading every day. I hope more people can discover this amazing tool
I have to admit, SuperMemo is indeed very niche. Anki used to be as well, but it has gradually gained popularity. Due to SuperMemo's somewhat complex operation (though it's not too difficult if you spend some time learning it), outdated interface, and Windows-only support, it's hard for it to adapt to the mobile era and be widely accepted. However, there are still some learning enthusiasts who discover this tool. For me, SuperMemo has become an indispensable part of my knowledge management, and I hope more people will uncover this hidden gem.
Glad to hear Supermemo has improved your learning experience and that my videos contributed in this process 😁
Great summary
That Chinese overdub was awesome! You should sign in and say hello to your Chinese fans.
Bilibili requires a chinese phone number so I cannot create an account
BIliBili has been huge in China for over a decade. All my Chinese friends use it.
2,000 seems like a good estimate. The few. The proud. Im surprised they sold 40,000 units. Congrats to woz.
I think your comment was meant for this video ruclips.net/video/wXOCNF-jq7g/видео.html :)
I always joke that the hardest sell is SM. Across my life I sold some courses, tickets, peronal training sessions for a company and I think selling IR or SM would be the hardest sell. Imagine convinging a stranger who never hear dof SRS or SM and spend $70 after seeing some 90's UI 😆

@PleasurableLearning I always, always think about the stark contrast with ChatGPT's hype. ChatGPT had the same WOW factor for me as Supermemo IRing, although ultimately not as profound as IR. SM is my secret weapon and I can't get anyone to try it, ChatGPT everyone in the world is excited to use it. If ChatGPT had the same popularity as SuperMemo, it would be another "secret" weapon.
apart from software users, there are over 70 k accounts of SM users via the website (courses based on space repetitions) - the number can be checked in the ranking of users.
I meant Supermemo for Windows, the app with Incremental reading, not the language learning app with premade courses ruclips.net/video/zTgkhhQv6d8/видео.html
Recently, I read an article by Michael Nielsen titled "How to Make Memory Systems Widespread?" which explains that the key to popularizing memory systems, such as spaced repetition, lies in developing a strong "memory culture." The author emphasizes that while tools like Anki and SuperMemo have great potential, they are not widely used due to certain barriers. To overcome these, he suggests fostering a culture of shared practices, improving skills, and better disseminating knowledge, making these systems accessible and effective for billions of people.
