Verity: a calibrated forensic comparison engine. It compares 3D scans of bullets, cartridge cases, and toolmarks and reports a calibrated likelihood ratio instead of a yes/no "match." It's the production version of my PhD research: a Rust core with Python and R bindings, a FastAPI service, and a web app with a public benchmark leaderboard. The validation results, including where the method falls short, are published with the code.

I tested Opus 5.5 and had it build an arcade game in Unity using the CLI and Claude Code.
The game is called Heatwave and is a quick and fun little police chase game.
Of all the games I've made, this is actually the one I enjoy to test the most.
I'm terrible at it, but it's fun.
Wanting another run even when you are bad at it is a pretty good sign. What took more iteration in Heatwave, the driving feel or the police chase behavior?
Another late night. Building a quant trading system an agentic model where different AI agents handle research, testing and risk, and none of them is allowed to place a trade on its own.
The hardest part so far? Being honest when the results say "not yet." Most strategies I've tested failed once real costs were included. That's exactly what testing is for.
Keeping The Psychology of Money and The Diary of a CEO close while I figure it out. What are you reading these days?
Curious how you’ve separated the agents from execution. When you say none can place a trade on its own, is that enforced through a separate execution service with fixed risk checks, human approval or both? I’d love to understand where the agent's decision-making ends and the hard rules take over.
