Opinion, tools, notes — three columns

OPINION

One testable call per piece: if it is wrong, it should be possible to name the evidence that refutes it.

TOOLS

Reusable procedures and checklists. Short, but every step can be run; no conclusions without process.

NOTES

Only changes that shift judgement: model capability, tool interfaces, regulation. Not a news ticker.

How we keep every claim checkable

TOOL
Every piece passes one gate
Titles, summaries, reading time and cross-links are validated at build time; a mismatch fails the build, so broken content never ships.
NOTE
Cross-linked, never guessed
Two editions link only when each declares the other; a one-sided pair is an error, not an inference.
TOOL
Complete when shared or indexed
Each piece carries a canonical URL, language annotations and social cards, so a share never points at the wrong page.
TOOL
Drafts never appear
Sitemap and crawl rules are generated at build time; drafts never reach the output or a search index.
TOOL
Ink and night, your call
The palette is decided before first paint, so reloads never flash; follow the system or switch by hand.
NOTE
Every heading can be cited
TOC, reading progress and citations share one set of anchors, so a link to a heading keeps working.
TOOL
Fonts cut to real usage
Two self-hosted families, subset to the characters actually used; a missing glyph fails the build.
NOTE
Browse by section and date
Section and date archives plus site search, opening once there are enough pieces.
Opening soon
