Knowledge atlas — v0.1
A structured personal knowledge base. Concepts organized for fast recall — timelines, formulas, quizzes, and visual maps.
Domain — 02
Agents, models, and the tooling around them. Why dashboards fail for autonomous agents (Hermes Labyrinth), and an Obsidian + agent + long-context-model knowledge stack.
OpenNote — Knowledge Stack
Obsidian as memory, the Hermes agent as operator, MiniMax M3 as a long-context reasoning core — one capture→reason→write-back loop. Opens the interactive stack diagram from inside.
OpenNote — Second Brain
Point Claude Code at an Obsidian vault: Local REST API + mcp-obsidian, a CLAUDE.md profile, Karpathy's raw/→wiki/ pattern, Agent Skills, and a 7 a.m. job. Opens the interactive build walkthrough.
OpenNote — LLM Wiki
The origin pattern behind the two above: collect sources in raw/, have an LLM compile and maintain a linked wiki/ of summaries and concept articles, then query it with an agent instead of fancy RAG.
OpenNote — Loop Engineering
When and how to build coding-agent loops that prompt themselves — the readiness test, five building blocks, the load-bearing gate and state file, and how loops fail. Opens an interactive toolkit.
OpenNote — Video Search
Two ends of the video-search spectrum: SentrySearch's single-file CLI (ChromaDB, Gemini/Qwen3-VL, auto-trimmed clips) vs NVIDIA's VSS microservice blueprint (VLMs/LLMs behind MCP for search, summarization, Q&A, alerts). Opens an interactive scorecard.
OpenNote — Build Guide
A from-scratch build guide: the five-stage spine (segment → understand → index/score → localize → cut), retrieval vs generative families, per-stage design choices, and the cost/quality levers. Opens an explorable pipeline builder.
OpenDomain — 03
The two kana syllabaries that unlock reading and pronunciation. Start at the Map of Content, then the Hiragana and Katakana notes — charts, dakuten, yōon, and the confusable pairs.
OpenNote — ひらがな
46 rounded characters for native words and grammar. Full chart, voiced sounds, combos, mnemonics, and the strokes that trip everyone up.
OpenNote — カタカナ
Same 46 sounds, angular shapes — loanwords, names, onomatopoeia. Includes extended katakana and the シ/ツ, ソ/ン minefield.
OpenNote — 漢字
Kanji captured weekly from Nihongo So-matome N3. Week 1 (でかける): parking, crossings, signs, platforms and trains — 41 kanji so far, with readings and compound words.
OpenDomain — 04
Tools, libraries, and the craft of building software. First note: Charm's open-source ecosystem (Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Crush, Gum…) for making the command line glamorous.
OpenNote — Charm
Charm's open-source ecosystem (Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Crush, Gum…) for glamorous terminal UIs. Opens the interactive ecosystem map from inside the note.
OpenNote — shadcn
shadcn/ui's first chat primitives — MessageScroller, Message, Bubble, Attachment, Marker — and the headless @shadcn/react package. Opens the interactive components map from inside the note.
OpenNote — iCraft
A no-code editor for 3D/isometric architecture diagrams: one-click 2D↔3D, nestable sub-scenes, GLB/GLTF import, and a live digital-twin player. Opens an isometric 2D↔3D demo from inside.
OpenNote — Impeccable
An open-source design skill for AI coding agents — shared vocabulary, persistent context, 44 deterministic quality checks, and a live browser loop; a16z-backed and bundled into GitHub Copilot. Opens a design-tells detector.
OpenNote — anime.js
How anime.js adapters animate non-DOM targets, and the full Three.js adapter — flat property names, extended transforms, materials & uniforms, instanced meshes, and gotchas. Opens a searchable property explorer.
OpenDomain — 05
A swipe file of web and product UI worth studying. First note: three Runcycle landing-page hero treatments on one constant layout — gradient, cherry blossom, and a glass-mug terrarium.
OpenNote — Runcycle
Same SaaS layout, three hero moods. Two-tone headline, glassmorphic dropdown, oversized brand watermark. Opens the side-by-side gallery from inside the note.
OpenNote — ASCII Visuals
The "technical mono" aesthetic AI and dev-tool brands use — how brightness becomes monospace characters, why it's trending, and how to make it. Opens a live ASCII lab from inside.
OpenDomain — 06
The professional side of the work — job searching, interviewing, negotiation, and growth. First note: a candid account of the ML/NLP research job search.
OpenNote — Job Search
One PhD's ML/NLP job search: the interview funnel, seven interview types, a full-time prep regimen, and why negotiation is a separate skill. Opens an interview-types guide.
OpenDomain — 07
Prompt recipes and style templates for AI image generation — reusable "style engines" you point at any subject. First note: the 19th-century chromolithograph / halftone look.
OpenNote — Print Aesthetics
A reusable image-prompt recipe for the vintage halftone-print look — blue-and-gold palette, Ben-Day dots, engraved hatching. Locks the style, leaves the subject as slots. Opens an interactive prompt builder.
OpenDomain — 08
Fully funded study programs and how to win them. First topic: Erasmus Mundus — how the EU joint master's scheme works, plus deep dives on two funded programs.
OpenNote — Erasmus Mundus
The EU scheme of fully funded, multi-country joint master's degrees — consortia, mobility, funding, and how to apply (Oct–Dec windows, Dec–Feb deadlines).
OpenNote — Neuroscience
Two-year Erasmus Mundus neuroscience master's, Bordeaux-coordinated across 6 universities in Europe and Canada. ~20 admitted from 800+ applicants; most graduates go on to PhDs.
OpenNote — Software & AI
Erasmus Mundus master's fusing software engineering, data science and AI — shared first year, second-year specializations across four universities, winter school, internship, thesis.
