My experience here (also Claude user) is that the model uses different tools in different contexts. I see rg more on frontend and grep more on backend work. I imagine it defaults to using the tool it has more learning around within the contexts it's reaching for and since for the most part it's 6 of one or half a dozen of the other you'll see environment specific usages for these tools in claude for now. I imagine eventually it'll standardize but we're early yet on such things.
If you'd told me a decade ago I'd finally learn some sed in 26 because I'd want to understand what the AI was doing I'd have told you you were crazy . . .
Would a smart AI accept such foolishness? I doubt it. It'll still use something deterministic under the hood - it'll just have a conversational abstraction layer for talking to the Product person writing up requirements.
We used to have to be able to communicate with other humans to build something. It seems to me that's what they're trying to take out of the loop by doing the things that humans do: talk to other humans and give them what they're asking for.
I too am not a fan of the dystopias we're ending up in.
In 2001 websites weren't what they are today. It was 5 years before jQuery's initial release . . . people needed to learn the proper terms somewhere in those days.
They would fine them by having a court case and saying they are guilty and owe money. Collecting on it would be awfully difficult, but you know, people do like trips to Europe.
That said, I think fining the company seems pretty plausible. They won't, but it'd be nice if they did.
Sounds super unique. Please include me too if you do any public follow up? I'd actually enjoy reading those, myself as I've collected folktale collections for years!
Location: "Think about Japan", "Compare that to the US" - this is a pretty straightforward comparison by location about culture based on location.
It presumes a bunch and I'm grunching (and showing my age by using that term), and I'm not trying to disagree with you . . . just highlight the comparison you said you could not see.
How do you source lightbulbs? I have yet to find a reliable LED bulb that doesn't hum or flicker on a dimmer despite being advertised as "dimmable" . . .
> Hochschild (1983) suggested that jobs requiring more emotional labor are performed primarily by women. These jobs typically involve creating feelings of well-being or affirmation in others – responsibilities usually assigned to women.

The "fall guy" problem strikes me as nontrivial. Even if you add to the law that the CEO always has liability for any data leak, a sufficiently well capitalized company run by someone aware of the liability would simply create a shell company that owns all of that data. You could disallow company transmission of said data at all but that is going to cause problems when trying to actually verify said information . . .
We'd almost certainly have to write a new one, but there are several straightforward ways to do it if we had the political will. An off the cuff example that could certainly be improved:
Definitions:
Government Identification Data includes Social Security Number. Bulk Extraction means any removal of data more than element by element. Unauthorized Third party means any person who the Company does not intend to grant access to. Intentionally Retaining means that a company chooses to ask clients to supply information which is then saved in a way accessible to the company for any reason in the future.
Law:
Any company maintaining Government Identification Data must select someone as personally liable for the security of said data. If the company does not have a person who accepts personally liability, this liability transfers to the Chief Executive Officer of the company. In order for the liability to be considered transferred, the Company most keep on file a notarized copy of an affidavit accepting such liability
Any company intentionally retaining any Government Identification Data must do so in a system that does not allow for Bulk Extraction by any Unauthorized Third Party. Failure to do so is considered Willful Negligence on the part of the company.
Any company guilty of Willful Negligence herein described must forfeit the greater of 15% of their previous yearly revenue or 5 times the Gross Annual Compensation of the most compensated employee. In addition, whomever the company has selected as outlined above shall be incarcerated for no less than 12 months and no more than 60 months.
I haven't been formally diagnosed but I'm definitely on the very low end of visualization. But I'll answer for myself:
While I'm dreaming and unaware that I'm dreaming, it's like I'm in real life. As soon as I start to wake up at all, everything fades to black almost instantly. I recall the experience as if I lived it though dreams are strange so it's far less consistent than a normal narrative.
What kind of memories? I often completely fail to encode and remember highly visual details - like what color hair someone has, what shirt they were wearing, and so on. But I could recall the name of the building in which my college showed the Matrix in the fall of 1999 because I could remember which way I walked there.
I recall audio strongly and can hear the voices of various characters in my head. I can do passable impressions of quite a few characters. I can tell you the story in detail, but if something hinges on a visual cue I will completely fail there.
I mostly talk to myself in my head. It's a running narrative. If you'd like a specific example, give me something more meaningful than "imagining".
If I want to read something and retain it well, I will hear it in my head in my internal voice as I'm reading.
Step 3: Rehire key personnel at lower cost than whomever was fired in Step 1. Step 4: Take credit for cost reductions . . . and give yourself a raise!
