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. 😀

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

Those 60+ year-olds in your yt stats is absolutely Woz 😅

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 lately!!

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.

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.

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

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.

With each additional video from you about incremental reading I feel less and less like I understand or fully use it. Such mysticism 🤷😭

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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 :)

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?

In your 'contents' tab, why do you have a mix of both concepts and topics as children?

I don’t know what this is, but I want to use it

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.

6:04 Never Edit: Straightforward guess! Hahah

Do you think incremental reading will become as widespread as spaced repetition?

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

Great summary

That Chinese overdub was awesome! You should sign in and say hello to your Chinese fans.

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.

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.

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.
