Knowledge graph: 150 notes, 290 links.Each dot is a note, sized by how many links it has and colored by topic. Focus or hover a dot to isolate it and its neighbors; activate it to open the note. The graph is a single tab stop: use the arrow keys to move between notes, Home and End for the most and least linked, Enter to open the focused note, and Escape to leave the graph.Ground TruthDeterminismGoodhart's LawAccessibilityProvenanceLarge Language ModelKeyboard NavigationContainerizationProcedural GenerationCharacter EncodingCache InvalidationCore Web VitalsGame FeelPath DependencePlain LanguageRoguelikeEnvironmental StorytellingReproducible CaseGame AIPerformance BudgetSeeded RandomnessShellEnvironment VariableMeta-ProgressionMotion DesignColor ContrastShaderGacha MonetizationHallucinationStacking ContextTest IsolationDark ModeAPI Translation LayerLudonarrative DissonanceRasterizationDotfilesGraphics DriverResponsive ImagesTypographic ScaleConstraint PropagationCPU SchedulerEasingFactory GameHyrum's LawLong TaskPersonal DataTerminal User InterfaceEmulationMetroidvaniaOKLCHVariable-Ratio ReinforcementVector GraphicsCellular AutomatonCommand-Line InterfaceData CompressionDesktop EnvironmentDisplay ServerFrame DataGarbage CollectionIconographyImmersive SimLatency and JitterLockfilePlanned ObsolescenceSymbolic LinkVoxelBackground Tab ThrottlingData URIGame PreservationGrid SystemPseudorandom Number GeneratorRoguelike DeckbuilderView TransitionsANSI Escape CodeBenchmarkingColony SimFrame PacingLayout ShiftMarkov ChainOpponent Process TheoryPseudoterminalrequestAnimationFrameSkill CheckVirtual ScrollingBattle RoyaleCompilerCompositorCPU AffinityDebounce and ThrottleDiegesisGame ModdingGraphics Processing UnitL-SystemMemoizationMonty Hall ProblemRay TracingRhythm GameShader Compilation StutterTrick-Taking GameVisual NovelXDG Base Directory SpecificationBézier CurveEmergent GameplayFrame GenerationLazy EvaluationMetroidbrainiaQuantizationTerminal MultiplexerWeb Animations APIComputer Role-Playing GameDual BootGlassmorphismImage FormatXMLApplication Binary InterfaceBacktrackingFaviconFutexHigh Dynamic RangeJPEGSim RacingTemporal UpscalingGraphics APIHysteresisLevel of DetailRecurrent Neural NetworkRogueliteSave ScummingSigned Distance FieldVariable FontsAlpha CompositingAmortized AnalysisColor GamutHSL and HSVKeyframe AnimationPixelMarching CubesOLEDPhysically Based RenderingProcedural NarrativeTarotAspect RatioGIFKerningSpriteTimelineDenoisingFrame RateColor TemperatureGlobal Positioning System
