Technically you’re off by an hour for most of the intervals, but I don’t think that would make a huge difference. There is some documentation with the exact intervals, but I’m having trouble finding it.
Edit: Damn, should have refreshed the page before posting that to see that rfindley already provided the numbers.
Thanks (also @rfindley) for checking. In practice, the delays I set in the computation should be the average amount of time an item spends in a level. So putting the exact SRS times would mean assuming you do reviews immediately in the hour they become available.
I guess in practice they can be rounded to the day up, including the A1 and A2. Even if you review several times per day, the fact that it affects mostly A1 and A2 doesn’t indeed change much to the result.
On top of that, it affects only the queue sizes, and burn time, but not the review rates.
Hey @Tenoch, have you considered caching aggregated numbers in local storage so that you don’t have to recalculate everything from scratch every time you visit the site? It would make it such much faster after first load.
Very good point! I’ll check how that works (I’m not a web guru by any means, and I wrote this in Elm, so if the functionality is not exposed I’ll have to wrap some JavaScript. Let’s see.)
Another consequence of the flow model I was thinking about upthread by the way:
We’ve been assuming you do reviews at a constant rate. If you don’t, I think your review stream is going to start to resemble what you did earlier. That is, if you do a big batch a couple of days a week, the reviews are going to start coming in in big clumps instead of a lower constant flow. If you do them as soon as they’re available, they’re going to come in in clumps roughly corresponding to your level-up/unlocking frequency. If you do as close as you can to a constant rate and at random times of day, the incoming flow will start to level out.
Yes, all this math is about averages. The more regular your lessons, the more regular the reviews will be as well. I mean the numbers are still correct, since they are time averages, but in terms of perception and feeling, we tend to think of regularly spread out as “more random”, while clumps are perfectly possible, assuming that specific kind of randomness.
That said, yes, I could have insisted more on the fact that they are averages, and not exact daily counts
