docs: reframe as extensions + replace Signal & Noise artifact

Browse Source

Two changes, one commit:

1. Reframe "weaknesses" as "extensions memex adds":
   Karpathy's gist is a concept pitch, not an implementation. Reframe
   the seven places memex extends the pattern as engineering-layer
   additions rather than problems to fix. Cleaner narrative — memex
   builds on Karpathy's work instead of critiquing it.

   Touches README.md (Why each part exists + Credits) and
   DESIGN-RATIONALE.md (section titles, trade-off framing, biggest
   layer section, scope note at the end).

2. Replace docs/artifacts/signal-and-noise.html with the full
   upstream version:
   The earlier abbreviated copy dropped the MemPalace integration tab,
   the detailed mitigation steps with effort pips, the impact
   before/after cards, and the qmd vs ChromaDB comparison. This
   restores all of that. Also swaps self-references from "LLM Wiki"
   to "memex" while leaving external "LLM Wiki v2" community
   citations alone (those refer to a separate pattern and aren't ours
   to rename).

The live hosted copy at eric-turner.com/memex/signal-and-noise.html
has already been updated via scp — Hugo picks up static changes with
--poll 1s so the public URL reflects this file immediately.
