ABOUT THE
NETWORK.

The Tech Briefing is a static-first information network for technology systems: AI, robotics, semiconductors, cybersecurity, and space. Coverage is authored, sourced, and connected — not an automated news dump.

WHAT THIS IS

The Tech Briefing is an information network organized around READ → UNDERSTAND → VERIFY → CONNECT → DISCOVER. It is not a personal homepage, not a generic news site, and not an AI summary feed.

The Lab is the retained portfolio of Dylan Thiart: systems work, hardware, references, and experiments including Xeno Signal. It is a secondary layer.

PIPELINE

SOURCES INGEST NORMALIZE VALIDATE DEDUPLICATE CLASSIFY EDITORIAL REVIEW PUBLISH CONNECT

GitHub Actions ingest public RSS into data/ingest/rss-inbox.json. Every ingested record has editorial_state=INBOX and publish=false. Nothing in that file is rendered as a briefing or a signal.

OBJECTS

SIGNAL · BRIEFING · TOPIC · ENTITY · SOURCE · COLLECTION. Records live in data/network.json. Pages are generated statically so the important content is crawlable HTML.
