- Note What size model does real-time on-device protection need?
Oct 14, 2026 System One decision models fit on-device behavior detection, and Chrome is building one into the browser. For real-time protection, small models trained for the task still win on latency and memory.

- Note Agentic Software Factories: Parallel agents diverge. Plan to converge.
Aug 12, 2026 Running coding agents in parallel is closer to a team of different developers than one developer multitasking, so plan a deliberate converge phase after the diverge phase.

- Note Letting OpenClaw loose on Boston's open data
May 30, 2026 At the Boston OpenClaw 2026 hackathon, I let an agent autonomously connect to the city's open-data MCP server, devise its own corruption-signal queries on contract data, and package the workflow...
