Five article series, a dictionary of traditional vegetables, and related sites
Insights — every structure connects to one conclusion
Climate change, fossil resources, the Mythos era, enterprise IT taxes, drone warfare, healthcare and pensions, regulation redesign — AI changes how we work, farm, and live; this series unpacks the structure beneath.
Start reading →Don't commission an SIer — stand it up yourself, and run it yourself
Design and code move to AI; the builder, who plans and writes the spec, arises on the customer's side. The whole toolkit for stepping off Microsoft and Google, laid out as a spec the AI can read.
Start with chapter 1 →A home server or a VPS, with your data under your own control
Drive a screenless Debian over SSH, harden it, put a database and your own app on it, open it to the outside, back it up, and grow it. Eleven chapters on owning your own infrastructure with Claude.
Start with chapter 1 →A textbook you dialogue with, not just read
A new kind of textbook you read with Claude beside you. Learn the migration to Debian through dialogue, tailored to your own situation. At the end of each chapter, ask Claude "given what I've read, what should I do."
Start from the prologue →When phosphate fertilizer stops coming — economics decides the farming method
Phosphate fertilizer supply is contracting through three routes at once. Conventional agriculture's economics break down; the only viable path is farming that lets soil microbes take over the work. We track this structurally using World Bank, USDA, and MAFF primary data. Includes Cuba's "Special Period" as the world's only nationwide case study of fuel-and-fertilizer collapse.
Start with the prologue →Le Verdure Italiane — Mediterranean bounty and the stories of its food culture
From DOP and IGP certified varieties to regional landraces, a structured database covering the history, cultivation, and cuisine of 69 traditional Italian vegetables — built with AI research agents. (Currently in Japanese.)
Browse the dictionary →Your own AI is the main character
Guides you hand to the AI you already use: learn your strengths from your chat history, decide what to learn, build a small app, start working. The guides are free. (In Japanese.)
See the guides →Today's temperatures and weather across Japan, compiled daily
Today's temperatures, heat and cold rankings, climographs and monthly temperatures, from AMeDAS 10-minute observations. (In Japanese.)
Visit the site →The labor of handing context to an AI is real. The answer is not to buy a layer that gathers context. Make a folder for the task and set Claude Code's working directory to it
IDCF Cloud was broken into, and the provider said snapshots could not be restored and its other regions were not recommended. Hand over the defense, and when it falls nothing remains in your hands
The provider told customers that snapshots could not be restored and that its other regions were not recommended for now. Keep your copy on another machine, in another place, under another authority
Urea fell to half its April peak; China restarted first. But TSP, the nitric route and fuel ammonia all shift demand onto nitrogen, while Japan's own base thins
Better than expected: Morocco's recovery, a Chinese restart, Japan's procurement. Worse: nitrogen and sulfur. And China's balance, which decides spring, still moves
