When mining cards, should I fail them once on purpose? Or just study them after at least 24 hours on purpose or something? Lets say I mine in the morning and do my Anki in the afternoon, I feel like it was so recent that I still remember it, but might not remember them the next day, but the first pass would not show me the card until a few days after, if I immediately pass it.
Why bother if you know it then you really did learn it.
If it shows up in 4 days and you don't know it anymore then the interval gets corrected
Yeah maybe its not an issue actually? I started mining recently after finishing Kaishi 1.5k, so I don't have a lot of mined cards yet, so it might not feel as weird if I already have a lot of others cards I need to study daily.
If you always mine in the morning and then review cards in the afternoon the algorithm will probably adapt to it
The algorithm doesn't care when the card was created. That's not a factor in scheduling.
I mean, if you always create and study cards in the same interval, you always remember the card at the start at about the same rate at the start. So the algorithm will always understand that if you remember the card "good" that it doesn't mean you'll remember it in a month, it's just how it always is with new cards.
But if you always start learning the card a month after you create you will almost always press "nothing" and if you press "good" the algorithm will (probably correctly) assume you will remember it in a month.
Got it. Thanks for clarifying what you meant! 👍🏽
I don't always do this, I just mine whenever I find time / feel like it. But I'm never sure when to study my mined cards, or if I should just pass them immediately or not.
the algo sucks for short intervals, doesnt really matter, only starts mattering after about 10 days imo
You can intentionally "get behind" with your new cards, so basically don't study new cards for like a week (or however long you want to separate first reviews from mining).
I guess this approach might be better so I don't bias the algorithm?
I'm not sure if it's significant enough to bias the algorithm, but it eliminates the decision fatigue associated with new cards, so it's a win imo.
I remember being very tempted to say at this rate you'll be able to read chinese first when you replied the kanji-first approach had been working very well for you when you had about 1k down. Seeing the new flag in your flair I have to bring that up haha. I find it funny. Nice steady progress you got there & hope you enjoy both languages!
Not really, but it definitely helps. I already know some basic words like 我 and can guess some words like 谢谢 and 电话 not only by kanji but by pronunciation too (でんわ denwa VS diànhuà).
My progress is a bit inconsistent, but 谢谢 I guess!
Wouldn't be long before you can read native Grade 1~2 textbooks :D (no need to reply haha, I feel bad hijacking this thread)
What are the rest of your cards?
Put the mined cards in one deck and the other cards in a different deck?
I'm already doing that, but I already have other mined cards I am learning.
Burry the card the first time it shows up. It will show up again the next day.
I use one learning step and just let fsrs do its thing. The first interval quickly drops to one or two days.
