I can also count while reading, I just tried it. But I can't write while counting.
I can have one interpretation and one generative task running at the same time.
- BetterThanSober 3mo agoI can count while reading and it's fairly easy The sentence below will be written when I'm counting to 60 Let me try counting while writing, it's hard with tons of mistakes and typo (like switching count with write), it's also demonstrably slower with this whole sentence taking more that 60 count. Verbalizing the count is way harder and I need frequent stops to gather my thoughts

- BetterThanSober 2mo agothe former is harder but still doable
- SwtCyber 3mo agoIt really does feel like reading and counting can occupy separate lanes, while writing and counting are both trying to use the same internal narrator

- dfgsdfgfgd 3mo agoWell, FWIW, I can easily write and count. It's actually way easier than I thought and takes no effort. Perhaps due to automatic touch typing while talking and thinking about something else etc? I can actually type and think about something else, never really noticed that before. Reading and counting is harder for me. I can do it, but it's tiring. Those feel like they share lanes to me.
- hoppp 3mo agoWith touch type it would work if I buffer the work ahead of time and then I can type out the buffer while I count. Sort of like: I think what I will type then when I start typing I start counting. I do not generate what I type while I count, but think of it before I do it.
