Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-08-22
Plain terms for a personal technical blog. If something here is unclear, email me rather than guessing.
What this site is
akillness.github.io is a personal engineering blog. Posts cover AI agents, harness engineering, game AI, machine learning, and the tooling around them. Everything published here reflects my own analysis, not the position of any current or former employer.
Licensing
The site mixes two kinds of material, licensed differently.
| Material | Licence | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Prose — post text, analysis, commentary | CC BY 4.0 | Reuse and adapt freely, including commercially, with attribution and a link back |
Code — snippets in posts, files under /assets/code/ | MIT | Use in your own projects, commercial or otherwise |
Attribution should name the author and link to the original post.
Third-party material
Some posts quote or reproduce material I did not create — diagrams from a paper, a screenshot of a repository, a figure from another author’s article. In every such case:
- the source is named and linked in the post,
- the excerpt is limited to what the commentary requires,
- it is included for review, criticism, and technical discussion.
Third-party material stays under its original rights. The CC BY licence above covers my writing, not quoted work. If you own material reproduced here and want it removed or credited differently, email me and I will act on it promptly — no lawyers needed.
Accuracy, and the limits of it
Posts here analyse fast-moving software. That has consequences worth stating plainly:
- Findings are timestamped, not evergreen. Version numbers, star counts, benchmark results, and API surfaces are recorded on the date noted in the post and will drift.
- Code is verified, not warranted. Where a post claims code runs, it was executed and its output recorded. That is evidence, not a guarantee it fits your environment.
- Critique is my reading. Where I say a project’s docs are stale or a design choice is wrong, that is an engineering opinion supported by the evidence shown. Check the primary source before acting on it.
- Nothing here is professional advice. Not legal, financial, or security advice. Test in your own context before shipping.
Material is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. I am not liable for losses arising from use of the content.
Advertising
Post pages carry Google AdSense units. Ads are labelled and separated from the article body. I do not control which specific advertisers appear, and their presence is not an endorsement. See the Privacy Policy for what ad-serving means for your data.
Posts are not sponsored. Where a source I analyse is itself sponsored — a vendor-funded article, for example — I say so in the post and verify its claims against primary documentation.
Comments
Comments run through Giscus on GitHub Discussions. Keep them technical and civil. I remove spam, harassment, and off-topic promotion. Commenting is a courtesy, not a right.
External links
Posts link out heavily — to repositories, papers, docs, and other people’s writing. Those destinations are outside my control and are not covered by these terms or the privacy policy.
Changes
These terms may change; the date at the top moves when they do. The full revision history is public in the site’s Git repository.
