Selected project
Simon’s Blog Writing & research · ZH / EN
A place for research, observations, and notes from making things.
Browse a topic or search for a question. Read sources, dates and limitations alongside the argument. Follow a project link to try a related tool. Personal research and observations for discussion; not investment advice.
Rock Atlas Music discovery · ZH / EN
Find a new neighbour for a familiar song, or a way into a style you have never explored.
Search for a style or artist you know. Choose a node to browse related artists and releases. Follow a connection, then look at the sources behind it. Proximity and connections do not always imply historical influence. Check each relationship and its sources.
Follow the Rabbits AI learning map · ZH
Start with a question. See where curiosity takes you.
Open the site and read the instructions provided by its current interface. Explore a question and follow the branches it opens. Check and enrich what you learn against original sources. The application is in Chinese. Check AI-assisted learning material against original sources.
Family Retirement Cash Flow Calculator Practical tool · ZH / EN
Retirement is not one number. It is a household budget that changes from year to year.
Start with the calculator’s fictional example. Enter retirement dates, income and household expenses. Compare the chart with the yearly figures, then try a different set of assumptions. Designed around current mainland China household circumstances. Results depend on your assumptions and are not investment advice. Inflation modelling is planned.
The Restless Clock · Knowledge Map Interactive reading · ZH / EN
Follow a book’s questions through mechanism, life and agency.
Search for a concept or choose a layer. Choose a card to read about an idea, person or debate. Open a linked source and read it in context. The map is a companion to reading. Interpret its connections alongside the original passages.
Ref2Graph · Skill Compilation & Graph Orchestration Interactive product prototype · ZH
Separate procedural skills, reference material and deterministic scripts, then connect their dependencies and states in a graph. The accompanying PRD describes the architecture, compilation pipeline, ontology and implementation roadmap.
Open the skill library to inspect example skills and their disclosure levels. Explore SOP compilation, the dependency graph, validation gates and the ontology. Adjust the Token Sandbox parameters to compare modeled context requirements. Read the accompanying PRD for the design rationale, technology choices and implementation roadmap. The prototype and PRD are in Chinese. They use demonstration data and are not connected to production systems. Compilation, monitoring and token estimates illustrate the design; they are not validated production capabilities or performance measurements. The prototype is unchanged; the PRD has revised branding, copyright text and header layout. The PRD requires online CDN resources for styling and charts.
