There’s something oddly amusing about listening to a Žižek talk while walking to work in SF. He’s just so good as revealing contradictions in ideology.

Slide-y dog and lighting! The new light rendering tools for Unity 2D are really nice. So far I've written maybe 10 lines of code and I've recreated most of what I had in Godot (and previously Amethyst) 😎 pic.twitter.com/Z2FUBWwcbA

When have you ever actually intended to take a screenshot of you lock screen vs mash buttons to turn off/on your phone/alarm? 📱

Trying out Unity again (it’s been a few years). So far so good—a lot of improvements for 2D games and sprites. Using FFI to call into rust dylibs also doesn’t look _that_ bad (although sharing memory might get interesting). Helps that it’s C#.

Now we can reuse them and become people who pickle things for some reason.

I love this thread. I learned to code by starting a company and running out of money. I wrote about it in more detail here if you are interested alexkehayias.com/essays/learn-t…

6/ Applications of this effect in product development is an interesting angle. How might we build really powerful tools that help users achieve mastery faster? Keyboard shortcuts come to mind.

5/ The most interesting takeaway for me—what does the spacing effect say about how memory works? Are we just more motivated to remember because it's a challenge to recall information after a few days? Is this actually some other effect?

4/ When applying the spacing effect to the classroom, it's less clearly useful. Something about general education makes the spacing effect less effective than rote memorization tasks. Some studies failed to replicate the benefits of spacing effect in a classroom context at all.

3/ It's nothing new—the earliest experiments date back to 1885! Since then numerous studies have found similar results. But, looking a little closer, you shouldn't believe everything zealots write on the internet.

2/ Spaced repetition of information over a larger time scale (days) improves learning/recall compared to cramming (many repetitions with low/no delay). You've probably seen things like Anki, a flash card system which uses this 'spacing effect' to help people remember better.

1/ Mini paper review: The Spacing Effect (Frank N. Dempster, 1988). After hearing about the spacing effect several times recently, I was curious to see what some of the literature actually says about the usefulness of this phenomonon. augmentingcognition.com/assets/Dempste…
