Most of my thinking is non-verbal. I don't think in sentences. I CAN think in sentences and internally rationalize my actions and explain them and sometimes that's beneficial (rubber duck debuggin, sometimes it's good to verbalize and explain something) but usually I don't do it
This question gets into information theory way beyond me, but I suspect it depends a lot on the task at hand. Human brains aren't very effective at combining sources of statistical variation, but they're great at other things. I'm personally most impressed by the cerebellum. It is highly trainable, yet if we tried to translate the things it does to maintain locomotion, proprioception, coordination of movement, etc. into tokens would probably result in a high token rate.
I still maintain a VFP9 project from time to time.
Although AI has been extremely helpful in writing VFP9 code, I can't imagine migrating this enormous project, which has grown over the course of 30 years, to a more modern system by feeding the source code to AI.
While one could debate which approach would be best for migrating such a project, an 'AI-led Big Bang Migration' would be insane.
However, AI would certainly be helpful for migration.
If you're ever looking to migrate off of that a better starting point is finding a way to dump the DBF files into CSV (there's a perl script for this that works wonders called DBF2CSV but I hear LibreOffice can just open these files too)...
After inheriting a project where the source code CDROM went missing I can definitely see a use case for at least trying with the latest frontier models to rescue the logic because it took me a while to reverse that thing manually to fix a bug with radare2
Thinking from the "3rd party" perspective, how should they behave?
I often find myself
1. communicating the risks as transparently as possible
2. doing everything in our power to find solutions for things that have already gone wrong.
The more of the scope of services is handled by us as a 3rd party, the more emotional the discussions become when things go wrong in the end.
It certainly depends on the project. Depending on whether it is a one-off project or a project in which recurring value is generated. In the latter case, it is certainly easier to find solutions in this regard.
First of all our Selfservice Bar (https://limifyze.com). This system enables hotels to offer up to 150 cocktails autonomously, eliminating the need for additional staff.
And Ledovation (https://ledovation.at) revolutionizes service-guest communication in restaurants.
We are located in Austria. Both the development and the assembly of the devices take place in-house.
