Misc Notes

These are miscellaneous notes I’ve made on things like textbooks, blog posts and mathematics. For book notes, see [[Bookshelf]]^N. This is quite hard to keep organised so this section is very probably out of date.

Textbooks

• [[AI - A Modern Approach]]^N

Articles/Essays

• [[Augmenting Long-term Memory, Nielsen]]^N
• [[Replacing Guilt, Soares]]^N
• [[Meditations on Moloch, Alexander]]^N
• [[How can we develop transformative tools for thought?]]^N
• [[Game Theory As A Dark Art]]^N

Mathematics

For specific questions, I make notes in:

• [[MAT Questions]]^N
• [[UKMT Questions]]^N
• [[APM Questions]]^N

While it may look like using flashcards to memorise the answers to problems, the idea is just to be able to spot common patterns in the future in order to help with problem solving. For more general techniques:

• [[Problem Solving]]^N
• [[Decimal Expansions]]^N

Poems

There is an Anki plugin called LPCG which allows you to generate clozes for long-form text to help you memorise them. Inspired by the section in [[Flow, Csikzentmilhalyi]]^N about mental systems, I used this to memorise a few poems:

• [[Invictus, Henley]]^N
• [[In Flanders Fields, McCrae]]^N
• [[Howl, Ginsberg]]^N

Rationality

• [[Roko’s Basilisk]]^N
• [[Efficient Market Hypothesis]]^N
• [[The Planning Fallacy]]^N
• [[Rationalization]]^N

Misc

• [[Polyphasic Sleeping]]^N
• [[Writing Good Flashcards]]^N
• [[Major System]]^?
