There were references to a number of documents that were somehow loosely related, so I summarized them all in GPT4, summarized, summarized, summarized, and then had the page titles made up as I went along.
The person being questioned keeps notes, which increases efficiency and accepts repeated questions.
Tacit knowledge is difficult to be aware of and may be difficult to verbalize
Documentation is important and could move in the direction of being expanded by the language model
A future in which LLM summarizes readers’ queries and makes suggestions for document expansion is anticipated.
Careful use of “documented” and “undocumented” functions, proper documentation facilitates maintenance
- [/villagepump/the person being questioned leaves a note](https://scrapbox.io/villagepump/the person being questioned leaves a note):.
- Discussion of cases that differ from endorsement
- Veteran engineer feeling
- Talk about avoiding duplicate explanations.
- Few opportunities to be on the receiving end of questions due to lack of ability
- Synonyms: written by someone who doesn't understand
- [/yuta25/You should ask people the same thing over and over again](https://scrapbox.io/yuta25/You should ask people the same thing over and over again).
- You can ask the same question over and over again.
- It is more efficient for the person asked to create a memo (Wiki)
- Listeners do not take notes and ask questions again
- The person asked can record accurate information.
- Repeated questions increase the likelihood that the person asked will realize the importance of documentation.
- [/mrsekut-p/the person asked leaves a note](https://scrapbox.io/mrsekut-p/the person asked leaves a note).
- Documentation by the person being questioned
- Those in the know often get the same questions over and over again.
- It is more efficient to explain in writing rather than verbally
- Write it down once and give it to them, and if they don't understand it, update it.
- Questioners focus on understanding and no longer need to take notes
- [/sta/ tacit knowledge is hard to be aware of](https://scrapbox.io/sta/ tacit knowledge is hard to be aware of).
- Tacit knowledge is determined by others and circumstances and is difficult to be aware of
- What a person thinks is tacit knowledge may not necessarily be tacit knowledge
- Some people have difficulty with metacognition and may not recognize tacit knowledge
- Tacit knowledge that is difficult to verbalize also exists.
- Important Pathways
- Documented" functions include "you may use", but "undocumented" functions should not be used.
- Even if the code is implemented and working, if it is used without permission, it will be difficult to maintain.
- Documents are important and will not disappear
- Language model may move away from query analysis toward expanded documentation
- A future in which LLM summarizes readers' queries and makes suggestions for document expansion is anticipated.
Raw log
0xtkgshn Which is the Scrapbox page for concepts like “If you ask them questions all the time, they’ll start writing, so ask them questions all the time”?
0xtkgshn @nishio
I looked for Scrapbox so hard but couldn’t find it.
0xtkgshn Oh, maybe this?
[/villagepump/the person being questioned leaves a note](https://scrapbox.io/villagepump/the person being questioned leaves a note).
0xtkgshn It’s a little different, I can’t remember what it is.
0xtkgshn”You should ask people the same thing over and over again.”
“Don’t ask people the same thing over and over!” but that’s not true. It is more efficient for the person being asked to write a wiki, so the person asking should ask the same thing many times without taking notes. >> Verbalize what you don’t understand and let the other person answer.

nishio: This pathway is important, a future where LLM summarizes the query the reader is throwing and suggests “you should write more about ~” or something! twitter.com/dmikurube/stat…
0xtkgshnI don’t understand what people who understand don’t understand
This page is auto-translated from /nishio/効率的な情報共有と暗黙知の言語化に向けて using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I’m very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
