A permanent record of the world, one day at a time
Once a day, a machine records what humanity looked up, what builders argued about, and what researchers published. It freezes that day as a signed, immutable record and commits it to a public archive — forever, without anyone touching it. Point your model at the days it missed.
Cutoff dates are approximate and vendor-stated. The archive currently spans 2025-11-01 to 2026-08-25 (298 days).

What the people building things argued about, from Hacker News.
Models go stale the moment they ship.
A model trained to May 2026 is confidently wrong about June onwards, and it cannot tell you what it doesn't know. Search helps, but search is fuzzy and undated. This archive is neither: it is a deterministic, date-addressed record you can diff against.
The archive can only be built forwards.
Attention is perishable. What a million people looked up on an ordinary Tuesday is not something you can reconstruct later from memory or from prose. It has to be captured on the day — which is exactly what this machine does, and why it grows more valuable the longer it runs.
Nobody has to maintain it.
There is no server, no database and no dependency to update. A scheduled job fetches public data, writes a JSON file, and commits it. If a source dies, the day is still recorded with the sources that survived, and the gap is stated plainly rather than hidden.
