  • Resilient Web Design

    If web designers wished to remain true to the spirit of One Web, they needed to provide the same core content at the same url to everyone regardless of their device.

  • Grok Knows Me

    I was surprised to see that Grok used this website as a source to contextualize my answer in X and provide its comments in a more assertive way. Oh boy, this is getting interesting and we are just in the beginning.

  • How Low Can You Go?

    Alguns jornalistas apontam a “ocultação de identidade” como sendo a causa raiz das fake news. “Ocultação de identidade” é o anonimato. O mesmo anonimato que as fontes jornalísticas usam para transmitir informações sensíveis a um jornalista ou à imprensa. Essas pessoas têm sua “ocultação de identidade” garantida por lei. Essa garantia legal também garante vantagem…

  • Is blockchain our best response to deep fakes going mainstream?

    I don’t know. I saw some people bringing this as an hypothesis today on X. It makes sense to me that blockchain could allow looking back to previous versions of a given piece of content up to its original source. For that to work in practice, we would need a new kind of certificate authority…

  • Big waves of technical evolution

    Someone asked me how Bitcoin stands next to other technological marvels of our recent history. In my view, these are the “big waves” of technological evolution that change everything on their path.
