Changes

What was added or altered, and when. Errors that were fixed are on the corrections page instead.

Additions are not corrections. A page that mixes new material with fixed mistakes makes it harder to find either, so this site keeps two logs. This one records what appeared or changed. Corrections records what was wrong.

AI education

Founding years and generated crests added

Every institution now carries its founding year, from 1096 for Oxford to 1958 for USTC. Each also has a crest generated from its own record rather than a photograph, because university images need per-image licence verification and named attribution, and inventing that is worse than showing nothing.

AI education

Monthly link check scheduled

A workflow now runs on the first of each month and checks that every outbound university link still resolves, opening an issue listing anything that moved. Ranking positions are deliberately not updated automatically: neither QS nor CSRankings publishes an API, so an automated update would mean scraping a page whose layout can change silently, and a confidently wrong figure is worse than one a person has to refresh.

AI education

Section published with 18 institutions

Six each from the United States, United Kingdom and China, chosen so the divergence between the two ranking systems is visible rather than hidden. Each has its own profile page covering how AI is organised there, the labs, what the department is known for, who the programme suits and where the gaps are.

Site

Stylesheet split into two cached files

An earlier attempt inlined critical CSS into every page, which could not be cached and cost repeat views what it gained on the first. The stylesheet is now core and rest, both cached for a year, with only the small one blocking the first paint.

Site

Fonts self-hosted, then font preloads removed

Self-hosting removed two third-party origins from the critical path. The preloads added alongside them turned out to starve the render-blocking stylesheet of bandwidth, so they were removed and font-display swap left to do its job.

Writing

Territory 5 completed, Territory 6 opened

Twelve articles on where AI is actually deployed, from medicine to the trades, then five on the incident record: how to read one, and four documented cases.
