Deconstructing the AI Stack: From Classical Logic to Agentic AI A six-layer view of the AI stack, from rule-based logic and learned patterns to generative systems and autonomous tool-using agents. Introduction Artificial intelligence is often described as if it were one giant invention: a single machine that suddenly learned to talk, draw, code, plan, and reason. That framing is convenient, but it hides the most useful truth about AI. Modern AI is not one monolithic technology. It is a layered stack. Each layer was built on earlier breakthroughs, and each layer changed what computers could do. The easiest way to understand today's AI systems is to stop asking, "What is AI?" and start asking, "Which layer of AI are we talking about?" Classical AI used explicit human rules. Machine learning shifted the work from writing rules to training algorithms on data. Neural networks introduced flexible architectures inspired by biologi...

Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how SIMHEAD Blog by Peter Kim collects, uses, and protects information when visitors read technical articles, guides, engineering notes, architecture write-ups, troubleshooting logs, and related resources on this site.

This site is intended as a practical engineering knowledge base. It may cover software architecture, cloud platforms, infrastructure, DevOps workflows, embedded systems, firmware, automation, observability, AI-assisted development, debugging, validation, and lessons learned from real technical projects.

This page is provided for transparency. It is not legal advice. If you operate this site commercially or in a regulated environment, review this policy with a qualified professional and adapt it to your actual hosting stack, analytics tools, advertising configuration, jurisdiction, and data-retention practices.

Information We Collect

When you visit this site, standard technical information may be collected automatically by hosting, analytics, security, logging, advertising, or performance-monitoring systems. This may include:

  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages visited and approximate time of visit.
  • Referring pages or search terms where available.
  • Approximate location inferred from IP address.
  • Network request metadata such as IP address, user agent, and timestamps.
  • General site-performance and error data.
  • Cookie identifiers or advertising identifiers where applicable.

This site does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through ordinary article browsing. If you contact the site owner directly, the information you provide in that message may be used to respond to your inquiry.

Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

Analytics and Standard Usage Data

This site may use analytics tools to understand how readers discover and use technical content. Analytics helps identify which articles are useful, which topics need clearer explanations, which pages load slowly, and which navigation paths are confusing.

Analytics data is generally used in aggregated form. The goal is to improve article quality, site navigation, content planning, performance, and technical reliability rather than to identify individual readers.

External Links

Articles may link to external websites, documentation, product pages, datasheets, GitHub repositories, professional profiles, cloud-provider documentation, hardware vendors, or other technical references.

This site is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, accuracy, or content of external websites. When you leave this site, review the privacy policy and terms of the destination website.

Contact and Voluntary Information

If you contact the site owner by email or through a professional profile, you may voluntarily provide personal information such as your name, email address, company, website, technical question, correction, or collaboration request.

That information may be used to:

  • Respond to your message.
  • Clarify a technical correction.
  • Discuss collaboration or professional inquiries.
  • Improve site content when you provide relevant feedback.

Do not send passwords, private keys, confidential business information, regulated data, or sensitive personal information through casual contact channels.

Data Retention

Server logs, analytics records, advertising records, and email communications may be retained for operational, security, analytics, or business purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the tool or service provider involved.

Where practical, data should be kept only as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general technical audience and is not directed to children. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as site features, analytics tools, advertising services, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Wiki Index A practical technical guide generated from the LLM wiki knowledge base. Full series Next: LLM Wiki Usage Guide Introduction This landing page is the starting point for the LLM Wiki Blog Series, a guided set of articles about building and maintaining an Obsidian-based knowledge environment for AI-assisted work. It introduces the vault as more than a folder of notes: Obsidian provides the Markdown foundation, the obsidian-wiki skills define repeatable agent workflows, and the generated articles show how concepts, entities, references, inventories, and synthesis pages work together as a navigable knowledge graph. Readers should use this page as the table of contents and orientation layer before jumping into individual topics. The series covers both the LLM Wiki operating model and the AI ecosystem content currently stored inside the vault, including foundation models, agents, retrieval, vector databases, embeddings, observability, memo...

LLM Wiki Usage Guide Practical guide for using this vault with LLM Wiki skills, Codex chat, Obsidian, and the obsidian-wiki setup CLI. Full series Previous: Wiki Index Next: Agent Development Frameworks Introduction LLM Wiki Usage Guide is the practical starting point for readers who want to operate an LLM Wiki environment instead of only reading about the idea. Practical guide for using this vault with LLM Wiki skills, Codex chat, Obsidian, and the obsidian-wiki setup CLI. The introduction focuses on the working setup: where the vault lives, which tasks belong in an agent chat, which tasks belong in Obsidian, and which terminal commands are only for setup or inspection. This page matters because many first-time users confuse the installed obsidian-wiki CLI with the day-to-day wiki skills. A clean setup separates those responsibilities. Obsidian provides the Markdown knowledge base, the agent runs workflows such as status, ingest, capture, qu...
