For a lot of parents, the phone may actually be what lets them be physically around their kids more

I can easily imagine the phone use and the kid's insecurity both coming from the same underlying family dynamic, rather than one neatly causing the other

Being ignored because someone is staring at a phone absolutely feels different from them just being busy. At the same time, asking teenagers how much their parent's phone use bothers them and then finding that the most bothered teenagers feel less secure in the relationship is not quite the same as showing that the phone caused the insecurity

I agree with the general direction but I'm a little skeptical of the "just add a few more TB of RAM and the frontier moves local" version of it

Most people don't actually want to manage models, updates, context limits, quantization, etc. They just want the thing to work everywhere

It also shifts a lot of the real exposure onto farm workers and local environments outside the EU, while EU firms still capture the upside

The obvious question is: if these pesticides are considered too unsafe to use in the EU, why are EU companies still allowed to export them?

I think the pyramid/army analogy works for some kinds of work, but maybe not for the kind of work the essay is mostly talking about.

The more interesting question is whether you can make higher levels of government depend more explicitly on lower levels, instead of the other way around

I think the middle ground probably isn't "no hierarchy" but "less fake hierarchy"

Plenty of startups recreate the same dysfunction at a smaller scale, just with less process and worse boundaries (I think...)

A polished website and audited reports don't always tell you whether aid is reaching people effectively on the ground

I agree with the second point especially. What stood out to me was not just that Django endured the bureaucracy, but that he remained grateful and composed through it
