Re: Spaced Repetition
#2I have noticed in myself, that it helps a lot with things which are conducive to route learning - that is, it is either something which has no innate meaning, like a random sequence, or something I understand, such as a table of values.
But it helps very little (not surprisingly) when I need to learn a concept and a model. I thought maybe I can learn the model faster, if I have all the terms and their definitions down - but in fact I found it painful and probably distracting.

#3Recommend using Anki for this: https://apps.ankiweb.net/
I try to add new words/concepts/things etc. I learn into Anki.
IMO, it greatly helps me with memorising various and more obscure terms, that I used to always forget.

#4With how often I've seen spaced repetition mentioned online recently, I'm starting to assume there's a grand conspiracy that's trying to use spaced repetition to trick me into remembering about spaced repetition.

Could be difficult to put in lot of latex or even diagrams. We need something which can auto-generate the notes for us.

#6I'm not in school and aren't actively trying to learn one particular thing. But I've always wanted a flashcard phone app where I can browse topics, install the flashcards, and learn at my leisure. Is there a good product like that? All the apps I've seen seem to trend towards making your own cards.

It helps in keeping the memory fresh. The concept you understand today may have little nuances which you will not recall if don't have some kind of revisions with some intervals.

While ex. Anki supports community decks (I assume others support such features, of course), part of the resistance is that making your own cards significantly contributes to learning; using premade cards is convenient, but impedes learning them.

I find it less useful for learning complex things, but more useful for retaining them. So I learn something, but then I make cards for key points so that I'll be able to remember the whole thing later. Otherwise I find that after a while I don't always recall the whole concept.
Re: Spaced Repetition
#10I often feel like learning things with Anki puts memories into the wrong part of the brain. It happens way too often that I can perfectly recall something from Anki (on a PC or phone), but have a lot of trouble recalling it 'in action'.
