You're free to choose not to memorise things, but please don't be an arsehole about people who do want to do so for whatever reason. Having said that, you seem to misunderstand the point of spaced repetition, which is that you don't memorise the same thing over and over again; instead, you memorise it enough times to learn it, and not many more.

Reality check incoming. Yes you are an asshole. Your word choice matters, and you picked a large number of insulting terms.
"not ... smart", "[only use is to] win stupid games.", "[you will spend] your life doing jobs you hate for money".
My dude, I'm learning Japanese vocabulary, which has helped me to start reading light novels for fun. By your argument: I'm not smart, wasting my time, and hate my life, or soon will?
Thing is I would fully agree with you that memorizing != comprehension, but that doesn't mean than memorizing is without it's use. Do yourself a favor and learn to not be so rude. It is literally the first item in the site guidelines:
> Be kind. Don't be snarky.

It’s amazing how every single point you’ve made here is wrong as the other commenter already dove into. On top of that Anki is one of the best documented pieces of open-source software I’ve messed with. If you’re able to program, ChatGPT can basically handle any task you want it too, I data mine the sqllite database regularly for my own insights.
Where does your SQLite db sit? I have been thinking about creating a local database to save and feed into LLM but i have no experience with it
I’m not using LLMs but I scrape open dictionary data to generate (massive) cards for learning kanji. I publish these in a specialized kanji learning app (rather than anki proper). My db just lives temporarily on my local machine, before I publish. Maybe sometime I will streamline the publishing process and create a github action for it.
btw. I didn’t use LLMs to write the app, it was still pretty straight forward.

#175I’ve been using Anki for about a decade now, and as far as I’m concerned, the only real improvements needed are design/UI based. It is functionally irrelevant if the algorithm is optimized or not when the actual user interface seems boring to potential users. While I do like that Anki has power user options, it’s also very unintuitive to the average person just looking into it. Which is really a shame, as the spacing…
My biggest gripe with it is how clunky the editor window is. That’s the main part that’s due for a redesign in my opinion.
It has other oddities too though, like the tab bar in the main window that doesn’t act like a tab bar. It should also really have two button mode (Again and Good only) for the review screen as a built in option, too — the addon that adds this is very popular and it’d be dead simple to implement.

ChatGPT isn't a spaced repetition system, so... it's missing the fundamental aspect that makes it "Anki style". This comment doesn't make sense.

#178If anyone's interested in experimenting with FSRS, we at Open Spaced Repetition provide official packages in Python, Typescript and Rust
PY: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/py-fsrs
TS: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/ts-fsrs
RS: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs-rs
Currently ts-fsrs and rs-fsrs support FSRS 6 and py-fsrs should also support FSRS 6 in the next day or so. Also, both py-fsrs and fsrs-rs include the ability to optimize the FSRS model from your past reviews!

You got triggered because I said memorizing something doesn't make one smart. And called me an asshole.
You also said reading stuff in English give you less satisfaction than reading in Japanese.
You might want to reflect on why that is the case.

This is an area where I feel like there's scope for improvement in the SRS space. All the SRS systems I've seen essentially assume the user is a perfect robot who will do their reviews every day without fail. But most people will have off days or go on holiday for a week and not look at the app, or whatever -- and as you note, the user experience in that case is awful: you come back to a huge number of reviews which…
>- let you pick a "max daily reviews" and then keep you from putting in too many new items up front, rather than letting you accidentally give yourself a huge daily workload after a few months Anki allows you to do that. It's in the deck preset options under deck limits. Nowadays you can also set weekday workloads, to reduce workload eg. during the weekend.
Looking at the manual, Anki seems to let you manually set a new card limit, and also to set a review limit (after which it won't show more reviews even if they exist), but I didn't see anything for "given that I want a daily workload of this many reviews, limit my new cards automatically to try to not exceed that in future".
