I'm working on a device that records surgery and uses AI models to analyze the procedure for things like surgical technique, efficiency, instrument usage, blood loss, etc. We're starting with using it for medical education because that doesn't need FDA approval, but eventually it'll be deployed in operating rooms. The goal is to enable every surgeon to perform like the greats (most aren't), improve patient outcomes and ultimately save lives. We just got into Techstars. Aside from that, dad life in suburbia

I've been working on a kind of strategy game called Fall of an Empire ( https://fallofanempiregame.com ), it's a bit like a mix between Crusader Kings, Total War, Mount and Blade type games (just the overworld, not the battles), but rather than expanding you're trying to prevent an empire from collapsing. It's a ton of work, especially with the number of systems - you've got combat, resource management, settlement de…

Working on Grizol: a syncthing compatible client that allows storing data on all backends supported by rclone and exposes the data through a fuse.

https://github.com/mseravalli/grizol

It's till quote rough around the edges and needs some polish, but the core functionality should be there.

When the hype was focused on chatbots, I joined a startup that built one focused on ecommerce. It turned into a useful product that actually help real customers. Looking back, there wasn't any material to actually build a useful chat agent that resolved real-world problems. So I'm writing the guide that I wish I had when getting started. I'll publish it on github and post here as more progress is made. I've created t…

Interested in reading it when you are done.

I’m a tech nerd rare coin & currency dealer! I took my two hobbies and combined them into a real business and I’m having the time of my life. Just launched a proper retail site here: https://www.rarity7.com/ About 50% of my days are spend doing the coin dealer stuff - hunting for inventory, buying collections/doing appraisals, going to coin shows and buying and selling in person, etc. The other 50% I’m writing code a…

I have a question - I've seen TikToks of people who buy rolls of coins from the bank and sort through them for rare imperfections then sell them on eBay. I've always wondered whether it would be possible to develop an automated system where a camera takes high res photos of the coins on a conveyor belt, compares to a DB of known imperfections and sets them aside?

Is anyone doing this? It's an interesting business model as the product is money so you'd only stand to make a profit never a loss.
