Building the write gate for Knowfer, so the fleet’s evaluators stop producing evidenced verdicts and then dropping them. Shipping stubs that close themselves. Launching this site as a publishing server and moving everything canonical onto it.

Working on

  • The Knowfer canon gate: three hooks may write, everything else reads, a quarantine for probe noise, and an autopilot class that stays dark until it earns trust.
  • zap: routing Reclaim Space deletions through the journal so undo covers everything.
  • This site: Phase 2 — search relationships, social-feed ingestion, the publishing desk.

Exploring

  • Local models on Apple silicon as a privacy tier, not a daily driver.
  • What a sleep lab would look like if its software had been designed this decade.
  • Podcasting from this infrastructure rather than through a host.

Reading and re-reading

  • Sutton, The Bitter Lesson.
  • Old RFCs. They are shorter than modern documentation and say more.
