How to use the next-generation spaced repetition algorithm FSRS on Anki?

suiyuan · November 11, 2023, 12:12pm

I believe you still need the add-on for that. Not all functionality has been ported to Anki.

And apart from my former question:
Is there a recommendation for the ‘New interval’ setting? (only available in the old deck settings)

(Especially with the relearning steps not set above one day, I could imagine it generates quite a lot of leeches…)

The helper add-on hasn’t been obsolete. Dae said that:

I would like to integrate Free Days in the future, and maybe advance/postpone/load balancing at a later date (some thought will be required to ensure they are efficient, and don’t result in the entire collection’s cards being synced each time the user uses them). I’m not so sure about sibling dispersal, and will need to give that more thought.

It might be a bit early to remove your reschedule implementation - the one in th…e Rust code is integrated into deck options changes, so can't be called directly, and as you've seen, it writes an entry into the revlog, so it's not something you'd want to be calling every day. I would rather users upgrade all of their clients so they don't need to reschedule every day, as it creates extra work for AnkiWeb when syncing. Once 23.10 is released as stable (or is close), I'll get an update sent to AnkiDroid and ask them to put out an alpha. Because I'd like 23.10 to come out as stable this month if possible, I don't think any of the others will make this release. I would like to integrate Free Days in the future, and maybe advance/postpone/load balancing at a later date (some thought will be required to ensure they are efficient, and don't result in the entire collection's cards being synced each time the user uses them). I'm not so sure about sibling dispersal, and will need to give that more thought. The manual entry is ignored when training or computing memory states, and is ignored by the standard Anki stats screen - it's only the legacy stats screen that can't cope with it.

I use the ankidroid 2.17 alpha-5 version. Should i uncheck auto reschedule cards? I do most of my reviews on phone. How can i use the load balance feature of FSRS Helper?

L.M.Sherlock · November 17, 2023, 2:03am

Load balance hasn’t been integrated into Anki. So you need to check auto reschedule after sync.

Should i turn off FSRS on my phone as well? I can check my PC every day.

L.M.Sherlock · November 17, 2023, 3:38am

It’s unnecessary to turn off FSRS on your phone. I’m afraid that setting could be sync into your PC.

I’d like to apply different presets for each subject. For this instance, i should create “Dahiliye” preset and apply it to “Dahiliye” deck and all of its subdecks, right? And the same thing for “Patoloji” and “Farmakoloji”

L.M.Sherlock · November 19, 2023, 4:23pm

Yes. It’s correct.

shoyan · November 19, 2023, 4:37pm

What should i do with mother deck “TUS”?

L.M.Sherlock · November 19, 2023, 4:39pm

You don’t need to do anything with the mother deck.

shoyan · November 19, 2023, 5:27pm

So it can stay in “Default” preset, right?

L.M.Sherlock · November 20, 2023, 1:47am

Yeah.

shoyan · November 21, 2023, 7:26pm

Would you recommend having one deck and tags or having multiple subdecks? Right now, I study Pathology of Cardiology. Each of my lectures are 1 hour long. So i have “Pathology” deck and “Cardiology” subdeck. As i have my lectures, i make cards and put them in subdecks like “Lecture 1”, “Lecture 2” etc.(I don’t use tags this way)// Should i stop doing this and put all my Pathology/Cardiology cards into Cardiology deck and tag them according to the topic we covered in the lecture? If so, why?

szalejot · November 21, 2023, 8:32pm

It depends if you want to study each chapter separately or just study whole material at once.

study each chapter separately - get sub-decks
study whole material at once - put it in the main deck

shoyan · November 24, 2023, 6:53am

Thanks I am not sure which one would be better for me. I am going to try both and decide that way.

I just got this error. What should i do?

L.M.Sherlock · November 27, 2023, 2:43pm

Could you give me the steps to reproduce this bug?

shoyan · November 27, 2023, 2:57pm

It happened after i applied habitica addon fix
I replaced init.py file with the fix.
I went back to my original file and now it’s fine. Sad i can’t use them both though

L.M.Sherlock · November 28, 2023, 2:16am

What’s that? Maybe I can check that and make them compatible.
