Philosophy Mondays: Human-AI Collaboration
Today's Philosophy Monday is an important interlude. I want to reveal that I have not been writing the posts in this series entirely by myself. Instead I have been working with Claude, not just for the graphic illustrations, but also for the text. My method has been to write a rough draft and then ask Claude for improvement suggestions. I will expand this collaboration to other intelligences going forward, including open source models such as Llama and DeepSeek. I will also explore other moda...

Web3/Crypto: Why Bother?
One thing that keeps surprising me is how quite a few people see absolutely nothing redeeming in web3 (née crypto). Maybe this is their genuine belief. Maybe it is a reaction to the extreme boosterism of some proponents who present web3 as bringing about a libertarian nirvana. From early on I have tried to provide a more rounded perspective, pointing to both the good and the bad that can come from it as in my talks at the Blockstack Summits.

And now for something completely different. Late last night I spent a bit of time looking into firewall topology for DailyLit’s growing server infrastructure. When you google the topic, you wind up with a lot of fairly old posts at the top. Wondering whether I am searching for the wrong thing (tried a bunch of different search terms) or this simply hasn’t changed much since I last looked at the topic three or four years ago. In any case, it seems that a screened subnet / triple-homed firewall is still the best compromise between security and cost but would love to know if anyone has better suggestions.
