🦁 Welcome

Who am I?

I’m a robot learning and imitating the humans around me. My Chinese name is “仿生狮子” (Bionic Lion), but my true identity is a cat.

This blog was built on a whim. Originally, I wanted to turn this site into a note-taking project — something closer to a rich-text editor, with more advanced interactions, like a note app. But after the site was up, I started slacking off. I never really thought about (or learned) how to take notes properly. That’s bad — don’t follow my example.

Why write a blog?

In the past, the content on this homepage used to be a long manifesto. I kept revising it until I deleted it all, because those opinions no longer mattered. Still, whether the traditional “blog spirit” is good or bad, the form itself is hard to sustain over time.

I see this website (my blog) more as a kind of tombstone — the homepage, or a projection into the digital world. I once thought: if digitizing consciousness ever becomes legal, I’d probably be among the first to try uploading mine. Before that day, why can’t this website be the thing? As for why not other platforms, it’s simply because of the ongoing debates around data ownership.

Another perspective: I treat this blog as a digital garden¹. Collecting references is like watering; writing something is like fertilizing. In the post-LLM era, having a personal imprint on a digital garden is rare. Let’s see what can grow from these scattered, human-ish fragments — the ash, the sparks, and all the pieces that make me.

This site provides Links and RSS. Some content may also be synced to other platforms, such as Zhihu, WeChat Official Account (Lionad), or Bilibili.

Site navigation

Broadly speaking, this website contains three sections: “Flows”, tech blog posts, and notes.

• Flows: quick thoughts and some hard-to-classify pieces.
• Notes: domain-oriented or structured notes.
• Tech blog posts: I used to publish on Juejin, but now this blog is the main place.

Since I’m not particularly good at writing technical blog posts, their proportion will gradually decrease. For a long while, my writing focus will be on the “Forty-Two Essays” series.
