I've updated my Anki database for the Less Wrong Sequences to include cards from A Human's Guide to Words. I've been trying to put less information on each card, and I relied on cloze deletion more for the newer ones. Feedback is much appreciated. You can download them by opening up Anki, going to Download > Shared Deck and searching for Less Wrong Sequences.
I probably erred on the side of making way too many cards, but it seemed really important to me to internalize this stuff, since I think it has quite a lot of practical value. I can tell learning this deck has improved the quality of my thinking and my conversations with people because I'm better at noticing when I'm making one of the 37 mistakes and changing my course. I hope other people find it useful too!
Mnemosyne uses one of the older Supermemo SRS algorithms; Peter (the Mnemosyne dev) has said in the past that the more recent & complicated Supermemo algorithms offer little advantage.
I dunno. The relevant statistic is probably 'easiness'. IIRC, there is in fact a deck-wide easiness factor that is slowly adjusted to deal with users who systematically make very slowly or very quickly learned cards. You could try looking at the torrent of Mnemosyne statistics and see how widely that statistic varies from person to person?
