On cards that I haven't seen for three months, doing them one day early is not going to make that much of a difference. Mnemosyne, in fac, introduces noise into these calculations intentionally. I can attest to the fact that being able to take care of my old cards today (perhaps with some indication of age, so I know where to stop) would make it easier to get through the important cards tomorrow. If "learn ahead of schedule" disrupts SRS scheduling, why not focus it on those cards that it would affect the least? -- Jesse Weaver --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
