For anyone looking to start their Anki journey, or extend on existing knowledge, I recommend the following read http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html

It's worth noting, the author actually suggests against using others anki packs. They should be a personal experience.

None the less I think these kind of things, are useful to find any gaps, and provide inspiration on how to structure your own collection.

I've been using Anki since 2009, and after about 2014 or 2015 I stopped using other people's decks. I find that the information that I put into Anki is much better retained, as it forces one to comprehend, not just memorize.

I find that the process of creating and curating the cards is as much (if not more) important than the cards themselves. My practice with anki then has some ''meat' to hang my memory off.

Not sure I see the utility of these. I don't think the point of the Fast.ai course is to be able to answer Deep Learning trivia. It's heavily hands on and generally being able to answer these questions seems very low value compared to being able to implement a fine-tuned VGG model for example.

I think both have different goals.

When you are self taught, questions from others really can help build your thinking and confidence.

I got better only when I had to answer questions to clients, friends and x colleagues who were just curious how things work or what can work.

I am working through fast.ai v4 right now and was actually in the process of making a deck for it. I'd imagine this is better than what I would have ended up with. Big thanks!

This perfect thank you. I love the concept of anki but always neglect adding more comprehensive card sets because having rsi means limited use time with my hands and thus needing to prioritize other things over flash card creation.

What tool can import this deck?

My android app AnkiDroid does not seem have the option.

Import with Anki Desktop and sync to your device with AnkiWeb. Check out https://apps.ankiweb.net/ .
