I'm using TimescaleDB to manage 450GB of stocks and options data from Massive (what used to be polygon.io), and I've been getting LLM agents to iterate over academic research to see if anything works to improve trading with backtesting. It's an addictive slot machine where I pull the lever and the dials spin as I hope for the sound of a jackpot. 999 out of 1000 winning models do so because of look-ahead bias, which m…

I absolutely love pre-1800 homes and am exploring a few ideas on how to help preserve and promote them. The main thing I'm working on to that effect is https://homelore.org It's like a carfax but for your home, although the intention is more to create an interesting historical narrative that inspires people to care about the history of their home rather than as a tool for inspecting home issues before buying. My targ…

If this became the norm, somehow, it would be a really helpful tool for both buyers and sellers.

I’m building an observability system that tries to surface answers instead of making people dig through huge amounts of raw telemetry. The basic idea is that when one failure fans out across 20 services, you often end up with 20 alerts and 20 separate investigations, even though there is really just one root cause. I’m using distributed tracing to build a live model of how errors propagate through the system, and the…

I changed gears and moved into the video games industry at the end of 2021. I started developing a city builder called Metropolis 1998 [1], but wanted to take the genre in new directions, building on top of what modern games have to offer: - Watch what's happening inside buildings and design your own (optional) - Change demand to a per-business level - Bring the pixel art 3D render aesthetic back from the dead (e.g R…

Looks amazing, added to my wish list!

I’ve been training an alphazero style model for an abstract strategy game I created 20 years ago. It’s been really fun learning about MCTS and figuring out how to optimize all parts of the pipeline to be able to train on ~millions of moves for ~hundreds of dollars.
