I sat down to write about design and AI and somehow ended up spending all morning tracking down a citation for how many airline pilots there were in 1969. ★ 2 fediverse friends: what is the best (simplest) way to cryptographically sign a web page? I’d love to include a signature on my blog posts that establishes provenance in an independently verifiable (public key?) way. Huge respect for the team behind Wikipedia's latest design updates. I can't imagine how hard it is to confidently change a framework that has so many users, edge cases, and technical history. ★ 1 Reading Donella Meadows’ “Thinking in Systems.” a. It’s a great book, please read it, and b. It’s reinforcing my belief that optimism or pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. https://bookshop.org/p/books/thinking-in-systems-internat… ★ 1 A new post!

I'm looking for something like http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary ★ 1 Sparked by the launch of https://www.notion.so/ai - With the proliferation of AI-written content, is there some way for a writer to demonstrate (verifiably) that their work is not written by an AI? Like how a checksum works for authenticit… ★ 7 Really neat idea with broad applicability to product design: sometimes, improving a metric means you're making things worse. https://sohl-dickstein.github.io/2022/11/06/strong-Goodhart.html
