audio based dictionary creation thingy: when you don’t understand a word, term, concept, thing, event, phenomena, idea, feeling, ANYTHING look it up on youtube. Look up what does X mean, and then focus on listening and watching those videos. Take notes of them with your notebook out. Watch it like a college lecture and you just so happen to be listening and paying attention and have your notebook out. Once you have watched some videos, download them using yt-dlp and put them in the correct directory/sub-directory. So like if you want to know what a “const” does in the C programming language, you could find a few videos of someone explaining or using a const, download them using yt-dlp, and then save them to a directly like: /tech/programming/c/semantics/const and then plob all of the “const” explaining videos in there. It will be messy and not as clear cut as that but you get the idea. You might just want to plop everything about C into c and do it that way. But lets do this with everything you are curious about. Look up that thing that you didn’t get, had you questioning, or made you REALLY interested. Find and download videos for it, listen and experience the thing while taking notes of whats happening, and then put it in your database. Once it is in your database, we’re gonna do some reinforcement of that thing so that you aren’t just letting your brain get seperated from it for too long (you luv her right?). Firstly, we will convert the video into a mp3 audio file so that you can have the audio playing in the background while you do random stuff. Your attention will glob onto it every once a while and ignite all of those neurons and new connections in your brain so that it stay fresh and in the background for you. The next part is the more intensive activity that will give you the feeling of measurable progress. This is taking the notes you took and converting them into Anki SRS cards. What I mean is creating pointed, atomic factiods or bites of information you took note of. Remember that this information is knowledge to you, and exists within whatever context it lives in. The ideal form of this would be cloze deletion cards where you fill in the blank of a sentence. That sentence, line of text or whatever is a part of your experience that you had when watching the video and learning and thinking about that thing (that you looked up and is connected to the real context of YOUR life). You are a part of this memory and how its going on, you created the notes, so what better way to refresh and keep your knowledge alive than to reinforce those bites of language you used when experiencing the knowledge. Not only that, but filling in the blanks of what “should” be and strenghthening the predictive model of that concept so you further know it, but are also reminded of it and keep it fresh at the same time. So, this would look like: front: Unix philosophy Write programs that do one thing and do it ____. back: well you could get autistic with it and add onto the front of the card all of the meta layers of context like: youtube:mattvsjapan:pitch-accent:atamdaka and then have a statement about atamadaka, but the way our brain has context for things naturally doesn’t require that, you just have to not make cards for things that are entirely irrelevent to your life (especially, girl especially, ones that are boring). Like if you are learning about linux and someone mentions the unix philosphy, don’t make a card that is like: front: Unix philosophy’s __ rule is: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. back: first or to make the point clearer, because I’m telling you what ISN’T a good card (which is a hard cuz theres a lot babes), don’t do stuff like remember the names of people that are known for a concept that you don’t entirely know or care too much about. So if you are learning about operating systems for computers (linux, windows, mac), then knowing linus torvalds as the creator of linux wouldn’t be that fun or interesting if the computer you use is a mac and you aren’t entirely involved in coding in things like C or using git that often. Furthermore, you wouldn’t even benefit from knowing that steve jobs made the mac computer because you are probably just a soy-dev that does everything on their browser or in vscode. Like, if you don’t already feel giddy and excited or automatically engaged with the stuff, DO NOT MAKE CARDS FOR IT. You are walking down the wrong path partner. For me, I am learning the practical uses for things like programming and the functions for specific websites, so learning about the history of it doesn’t engage me usually. Its important and it comes up sometimes when people are talking about code, but im not interested so I don’t make a card for it. And guess what? I remember most of the obscure history facts anyways. I am remembering all the cool and fun stuff in that video and wealth of knowledge, so it often brings along those random excess memories of things that were talked about that didn’t really matter. Remembering everything is a byproduct of only trying to remember the good stuff. And by good stuff I’m talking EPIC, heroic, seductive, ethereal, serene, zen, extreme, boring, fast, fat, cute, tall, ergonomic you name it! It’s dating the neighborhood girl thats really hot instead of her ugly sister: you’re gonna see the ugly sister in their house when you go to her house, but you’re gonna date the hot one RIGHT? Or maybe the ugly one is cooler and more based and the hot one is boring which in that case YOU WOULDN’T HAVE REALIZED THE UGLY ONE IS COOL WITHOUT FUCKING THE HOT ONE!!!!!! HAVE SEX WITH WHAT YOU WANT!!! IT AINT THAT HAAAAWD get with the program broham. Another thing thats cool is that you can go through your PHYSICAL notebook of notes after a week or month and recognize meta patterns and experience those memories in brand new fresh and valuable ways. It can give you some wisdom and knowledge just from that, and then guess what? Now your anki reps and passive audio will look and feel different too. ITS EVOVLING !!@!RFJklfwehnfoiawenvgnoi;werognhoiehfgl;hasfdjhsl oh my GYADDD IM SO EXCITTEDDDDDDDD SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE FNSDKLFHSDFGL:HWEIGHUOIPWEHGFI:WEFIWEFOBFFSUF oouuuuuuu and guess what????? you are learning all of this for free and being so epic and awesome sauce and gaining all these new things that you literally don’t have to do but you do them because they are what you really really want to huh? Yea? You like that? You fucking slut? Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu what a bad girl you are don’t play with me///////kekw////giftards are up humpin they junk rn okay im a bit craunky now so have a nice beautiful nyight nya takes some notesyzy nya
