In short, my understanding is that we can't improve it, but that could be very much due to the lack of actual dedicated research. If we could, it would essentially be a super power.
There are people who can't memorize their authenticator codes in one piece, let alone focus when someone is describing a method signature at work. This would be a big quality-of-life change for those people. This also ties in with following conversations and tying words together well, which most people don't think about.
- michaelcampbell 3y agoThanks - was wondering if anyone was going to bring up Gwern's stuff. I want so, so bad for DNB (etc.) to make me smarter, but the meta-analysis seems to point to practicing DNB makes you better at... DNB.

- throw1234651234 3y agoI think there is just not enough research on DNB and eye exercises. For example, doing a one-arm pull-up sounds absolutely insane to most people, yet it's possible. We only know it's possible because people train in gymnastics their entire lives with coaches focusing on it. Afaik, no one is doing the same for DNB.
