Some well-thought-out, valid points here:
“In this small corner of learning, one I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, it’s clear that LLMs can make a dramatic impact on self-studying. I’m sure spaced repetition is correct, and that the forgetting curve is an important part of the equation, but flashcards were the best solution with the tech that was available. Now that every session can have dynamic, novel, and contextual content, why would you pick anything else?”

I'm so happy about this.
Inspired by @Aurin_the_classtraitor I started making a box of cards for myself, but not just your typical flashcards for #SpacedRepetition, but for whatever.
The first thing I love about this is that I love standardization.
The box is a wooden A6 box for flashcards (landscape format) I use blank A& cards/paper (200g/m2) because I use my cards in portrait format and lined flashcards only exist in landscape format. I use A6 tab cards in 4 colors I put 16x9 mm labels to stick over the tab labels and write my own categories All of this can be bought in nearby stores - no customization needed
But the main thing I love, is that this can be used for so much more than vocab.
My tabs:
Juggling: I put the names and a simple illustration of all the juggling tricks I know on cards and ordered them in 5 tabs:
play: tricks I can do very well and play around with, vary and e.g. use as warm-ups
perfect: tricks I can do pretty well, but want to be able to do better
train: tricks I can basically do, but not good yet
learn: tricks I understand and am learning
try: tricks that are new to me Yoga: I put a lot of asanas and illustrations on cards and put them in the tabs:
calm
stretching
balance
strength
and new
(btw many asanas probably can't be put in one of these categories for everybody - this is about what I struggle with the most with the specific asana - except for "calm" which means I don't struggle) classic flash cards with tabs for now, today, tomorrow, this week, next week, one for all 12 months of the year, done, archive and new Drums: I haven't created the cards yet, but the tabs are similar to juggling: warm(-up), play, train, learn, try Feelings: I created lots and lots of cards for feelings - not just emotions, but broader. I think this will help me better understand and describe how I feel. This deck will still grow a lot because there are so many things you can feel. So far the cards only contain the word(s) describing the feeling, but I'll probably add "links" to related cards and other stuff. It took me a while to find a tab system I'm happy with, and it will probably change, but right now I have these (all with 2 tabs for positive and negative feelings):
mood
balance (for anything related to calmness, freedom, stress, dependence, boredom, ...)
security (for things like clarity, determination, confusion & brain fog)
energy (self-empowerment, drive, creativity, powerlessness, avolition, anhedonia, ...)
self-worth (pride, self-love, shame, blame, ...)
courage (hope, defiance, pleasant anticipation ("Vorfreude"), fear, panic, fright, ...)
interest (lust, curiosity, excitement, indifference, disgust, revulsion)
affection (love, friendship, admiration, closeness, hate, distance, agression, anger, ...)
interpersonal (this needs a new name contains mostly pseudo emotions that describe less how you feel, but why: esteem, praise, belonging, humiliation, punishment, jealousy, distrust, ...)
physical (scent, warmth, beauty, stench, heat, ugliness, ...)
On the first card I have gathered more ideas like embodyment & mindfulness exercises, mental skills, local plant & animal species, ...
On it's back I have written down all the measures so I can get more boxes, cards, tabs and labels, when I need them.
I might post more about #PaulasBox as I gain more experience with it.
Btw, this easily covers my #3GoodThings of today.

@Aurin_the_classtraitor Hey Aurin,
Did you happen to come across some kind of equivalent or variant of #SpacedRepetition but for actions/exercises instead of facts?
With facts "standard" spaced repetition makes a lot of sense, since once I really know something the question is just how long I will remember, so I'll re-ask myself in longer and longer periods. With many actions there will never be a point where I know it so well, that it doesn't still make sense to work on it frequently.
I just made a set of cards for juggling tricks and I - for now - ordered them in:
new (I don't understand the trick yet)
learn (I get it, but can't do it)
practice (I can do it, but it's hard)
perfect (I can do it, but can still work on it)
modify (I can do it so well that I now try it with eyes closed, lying on the ground, in a handstand or whatever)
I guess for now these are not bad categories, but maybe science has already found a great system?
I want to make cards for drumming patterns, yoga asanas, fitness exercises, embodiment poses, brain jogging, animal training, mindfulness meditations, psychological emergency skills, breathing techniques and much more and of course also classical study cards for e.g. local fauna & flora.

Ah, yes, because nothing screams "global citizen" louder than needing an app to find Canada on a map. 
Apparently, spaced repetition is the new shortcut to geographic enlightenment—who knew memorizing capitals needed a mnemonic revolution?

Quizlet has some nice features, but it has some serious issues:
1. Doesn’t respect ringer switch
2. Requires an internet connection to display anything
3. Can’t easily edit or delete a card
Spaced Repetition mit der 2-7-30-Regel einfach umsetzen
Bei meinen Einführungen zu evidenzbasierten Lernmethoden werde ich immer wieder gefragt, wie man denn Spaced Repetition einfach umsetzen könne. Ich empfehle dazu jeweils die 2-7-30-Regel.
Diese habe ich nun in meinem neusten Blogbeitrag beschrieben und dazu auch noch eine Infografik erstellt.
Warum das funktioniert?
Weil unser Gehirn Inhalte besser speichert, wenn sie in optimalen Abständen wiederholt werden. Die Methode basiert auf Erkenntnissen zur Vergessenskurve nach Ebbinghaus.

@Coisaestranha There !!! I found something, I'll put some of your ( in my humble opinion ) best posts in an Anki deck ), here I guessed sonhos based on Spanish, just had to check on #wiktionary to make sure #spacedrepetition #languagelearning #pt-br
An interesting explanation of Spaced Repetition, a method for learning and improving information recall (which the author, Nicky Case, has used to memorise ukulele chords, amongst other things):

Inspired by @Coisaestranha recent #meme streak. What if your grandmother wanted to combine/harness #alttext ( primarily from memes for that matter ) and #spacedrepetition for language learning using #mastodon ( preferably in the browser ) ?
How would you help her ?
Or would you just fail her, make up some lame-ass excuse on how it's not possible or too complicated, and you know...you have things to do, people to see and places to go to...besides didn't you just fixed her printer last week.
Today's activity I think (I hope) will be how to properly set up Anki both on my computer and phone. The settings and UIs are, to put it politely, overwhelmingly disorganized chaos.
I don't know enough about spaced repetition learning for "optimal deck settings" to set it up correctly anyway so I need to watch a few videos >:(
Why didn't I dive into #spacedrepetition and #Anki a decade ago?
