I love this demonstration from Ghost Font: The Anti-AI Font Only Humans Can Read.
The explanation is very clear and as a proof of concept it works well. However like the newsletter that sent me there, I do wonder, how long will it continue to work.
Whoami
Absolutely fascinating article (as usual) from dynomight, about what they called Pseudpocalypse, and that's the lamest thing about it. I would have gone with Pseudocollapse. Give that a short o (dog) and stress the o and in my opinion it sounds more like what they were aiming at.
Also, I used to live one street away from via Lorenzo Valla, so have filed this part away:
The idea of attributing authorship using writing style features goes back to at least 1440, when Lorenzo Valla demonstrated that the Donation of Constantine—in which Emperor Constantine supposedly donated the Roman Empire to the Catholic Church—used a vernacular that came from 400 years after Constantine’s death and was therefore a forgery.
Adding anchor links to my category pages
Earlier today, I wanted to link to a specific year of posts on my Coffee category page. Importantly, all of my posts in a category are listed on a single page. I do this because I like having an overview of all posts on a single page. And, by having all post tiles on one pag...
Multi-line links on my home page
Every so often, I publish a blog post with a longer title. When this happens, sometimes the post title wraps onto a second line in my list of blog posts on my site home page. This was a tiny detail, but one that I would often notice.
Last night, I brought the design to Fron...

Geoffrey Litt: Understanding is the new bottleneck
Geoffrey Litt has a great new perspective on how we work with AI-generated code. We're not bound to prompting and moving on. We can have the AI explain what it built — teaching the background, building intuition before showing code, even ending with an interactive quiz so w...
Geoffrey Litt has a great new perspective on how we work with AI-generated code. We're not bound to prompting and moving on. We can have the AI explain what it built — teaching the background, building intuition before showing code, even ending with an interactive quiz so we don't fool ourselves into thinking we understood. … Read on: https://knot.tilman.me/post/geoffrey-litt-understanding-is-the-new-bottleneck/

That was actually pretty funny. But where did all the "zombies" go at the end??? I think this had more potential, especially the ending. But I also wish they had more utilised "Ivan and the Terribles". Nonetheless, this was worth a watch.
Next event: The Haunted on July 24, 2026, 20:00 at Turock, Essen.
Website superpowers
At Homebrew Website Club this week, Thomas mentioned the term “tag healing” during a discussion about tags. The definition I caught was that tag healing is related to reviewing and, if necessary, consolidating, tags used for blog posts or documents. Someone (Tabitha?) said t...

Here on Mastodon you keep reading a certain kind of reassurance: AI is a bubble, it’ll blow over, and if you ignore it, it won’t affect you.
I think all three parts are wrong, and I wrote up why. It comes down to the price of feedback: why AlphaZero worked, why coding agents work, and what cheap verification does to code we’d long since signed off on.
Space
This evening I listened to Peter Gabriel’s New Blood, after seeing the album mentioned on Thomas’ blog. As I listened, I kept thinking “this is my favourite song so far!” There were so many tracks that I liked. Downside-Up, Wallflower, and Mercy Street were all terrific.

Sunset
The valley, almost invisible. The most intense degree of aerial perspective whitens the distance below the sun. Looking through the trees I see haze. The hills fade into the ether. The occasional contour of a tree in the distance is visible. I have never seen a sunset like t...
Mum's first birthday
Today is my mum's first birthday since she died on 21 October 2025, she would have been 81.
I don't need my phone to tell me when my mum's birthday is, I have always known this, it is on Bastille Day. I have always had my mum's number stored as a favourite on my phone, since...
Homeward bound from Türkiye
Today was our last day in Türkiye, we had our breakfast at the hotel headed back to the room to pack. At 10:20 I headed down to the reception as the rental car was being picked up at 10:30. When 10:35 arrived I spoke to Tania to see if the rental company were usually on time...
Caves & Gorges
After a lie, in due to not getting to bed after 03:00 due to the England quarter-final in the world cup, we went for a walk down to the Harbour for brunch.

Susan and I met our friend at the top of the old town and ambled through the shaded streets until we ...
