Summary
The post shares empirical results from the author's extensive use of a flashcard tool that employs randomness in its scheduling. The analysis of over 900,000 responses reveals interesting insights into the sensitivity of correctness rates to scheduling intervals, especially noting a bump around 24 hours. The author discusses challenges in analyzing data from different scheduling algorithms and how to optimize memory retention, emphasizing the complexity of spaced-repetition techniques.
