      http://sansforgetica.rmit/  This is a font designed to resist skimming, decreasing readability to increase the amount of time spent reading, and thus the impact of a thing being read. Noise, improving signal acquisition. Interesting, and seen elsewhere. Suggests fun ML experiments

      Research is good, research that implies and suggests other research is great! Interesting ideas recruit and agglomerate. Yes, yes, it's obvious not all readers will have identical effects, etc. Can sling and arrow this all day, as people do in our "I'm important too" culture.

      I've played on the other side of this space -- fonts that improve readability for dyslexics -- and I hadn't thought much about noise injection being valuable. But this is like the third time this week it's shown up in very different contexts, so...cool! Fun is ok :)

      A lot of Infosec UI reduces to injecting noise. /cc @__apf__ Not to be reductionist :)

      The most cogent critique of this font I've run into is: you could slow down your readability by switching to, say, Cyrillic, but the effect wouldn't last. There's no reason to think one wouldn't just adapt to it

      It can adapt too. Screens aren’t paper, fonts are quite literally programs.

      "Adversarial convolutional fonts for long-term knowledge retention" y'know we could probably write this MetaFont is still a thing

      Interesting. If you like the results, it may prevent adaptation. Because liking the memory boost changes the adaptation process. All memory may improve, even. Or this is how you trigger turbo. If you hate being forced to dig through this, you will probably adapt as described.

      It's worth a shot. I've noticed that any time I switch my code font I like the new choice better, even though it's mostly just Monaco to Inconsolata and back again

          Hmmm. A foundation for the grass actually being greener. Lets other systems have more time to compute.
