1/ Lately, I've been thinking about my attention allocation and the associated probability of errors. That is, let's say I have a task I want to accomplish. How can I shape my environment to minimize the probability of making mistakes?https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1141892499985711104 …

4/ But all of this leads me to wonder two things, 1. Is making your error rate observable useful? 2. Can you train your error rate (less sloppy work)?

5/ Mostly, I think it's painfully hard (and maybe intractable) for one person to measure. If you're doing the same exact task over and over again, you'll get better at it, so environmental manipulation isn't all that telling.

6/ But, over populations, you may get an interesting picture. And, for people in my field, there may be cases where there are nice objective measures (e.g. frequency of syntax errors while coding).

7/ This is just me thinking out loud. But, wouldn't it be wonderful if you could dial in your environment to something that achieves the error rate you want for a given task?
