1. pico.sh!

   Sal's Blog · 2026-08-08 14:39 UTC·Sal · details

   Wow, pico.sh looks very enticing. I found it last night after reading Brennan’s post, Free Speech and the IndieWeb, which discusses the reasons he doesn’t use Cloudflare. See also his longer post on this topic. I have been feeling a little dirty about using Cloudflare for hosting this little indie blog. Plus, Cloudflare frustrated me this week when it wouldn’t update my broken site (my fault for breaking it; Cloudflare’s for not letting me fix it). So Brennan’s post provoked me to look for alter…

2. Why LLMs hallucinate

   Kevin Cunningham - @dolearning · 2026-08-06 00:00 UTC · details

   Ask a question of an LLM and you'll get an answer. Sounds good but is the answer actually correct and valid? How do I compare two passwords in a timing-safe way? Use secureCompare(a, b) from `crypto.utils`. It is timing-safe and recommended. This might be spot on but it's told with a level of confidence and specificity that makes it challenging to disagree with. The problem is that in Node, the function is actually timingSafeEqual. Where is the LLM getting the information from? The training data…

3. What Would You Say You Do Around Here?

   There is a sentiment that some “light” usages of AI are okay because it simply reduces the friction a bit on content creation. For example, Kelly writes: But if AI can be helpful for things like blog production. I know, for example, that blog posts with an image are several times more likely to attract someone’s attention than one without an image. I lack time and artistic skill to create my own images, but I can craft a prompt and get a suitable illustration in seconds. This is hard to ignore,…

4. Nakatomi Drift

   Aneesh Sathe · 2026-08-02 00:00 UTC · details

   I’ve been muddling through ways to stay interesting – to myself and friends – in the age of AI. Part of the answer, I have come to understand, is the construction of Thickets. Dreaming up such a thing without a way to traverse it kept the idea incomplete. One nagging thought was that it was important to get properly lost – as opposed to trivially lost. That feeling where you had a good sense of where you were, but a question you asked or a connection you made has left you in unfamiliar territory…

   You can proofread a million times, but the moment you hit publish, every single error shows it’s rear.
