Figuring out what exactly to add to a project when I’m just learning about the tools is quite hard. It took me longer than I like to admit to come up with the seemingly random feature of just providing a random NWS alert.
Learning more about how Slack bots work as someone who’s worked on a Discord bot or few has been really interesting. Today I learned how to use blocks, buttons, modals and more. Making improvements to the random NWS alert command utilizing them makes me much more proud of it. (I also added a random bunny image command 🐇)
I’ve added a help command to Starslack, showing all available commands and what they do. Starslack also now has a channel on the Hack Club Slack.

The biggest challenge in this project is preventing future data leakage. The trading agent must only see information that would have been available on the current simulated date. To support this, I created a trading calendar system based on historical SPY market data. Instead of manually adding one day at a time (which would break on weekends and holidays), the simulator follows actual market trading days. The new step() method advances the simulation exactly one trading day forward by moving through this calendar. I also implemented get_history() , which acts as a security layer between the agent and the raw market data. When historical data is requested, the method filters the dataset to include only dates up to the current simulation date before returning the requested lookback window. This ensures the agent can never accidentally access future information. Example: history = env . get_history ( \" AAPL \" , lookback_days = 30 ) returns only the previous 30 trading days that existed at that point in time. Along the way I added unit tests to verify: Environment creation Trading-day advancement with step() Historical data retrieval Prevention of future-date access Current project status: ✅ Data download pipeline ✅ Data cleaning pipeline ✅ DataLoader ✅ MarketEnvironment ✅ Trading calendar system ✅ step() simulation advancement ✅ get_history() future-leakage protection ✅ 7 passing tests The simulator can now move through history one trading day at a time while enforcing realistic information constraints—the foundation needed for future trading agents."}, {"post_id": 7325, "ts": "2026-06-12T06:25:15Z", "hours": 0.8553, "text": "Today I worked on various things.

Today I spent a lot of time working on organizing all my files and getting the correct architecture structure set up. Very boring indeed.
Today I spent the majority of my time loading my data. This means downloading the raw data from Yahoo Finance. Then I realized it came in a format I didn’t want. So as you can see below, I spent some time cleaning it up.
Today I worked on various things. I worked on the data loader python file. Ensuring that all the tickers were clean, and processed and then loaded. Then I worked on the market environment python file. This is arguably the most important file because I need to make sure that no future data can be seen by it. After that, I created tests for both the data loader, and the market environment to make sure I am writing production quality code.
day whatever Building the Market Simulation Clock Today I implemented two core pieces of the MarketSim AI simulation engine: step() and get_history() . The biggest challenge in this project is preventing future data leakage. The trading agent must only see information that would have been available on the current simulated date. To support this, I created a trading calendar system based on historical SPY market data. Instead of manually adding one day at a time (which would break on weekends and holidays), the simulator follows actual market trading days. The new step() method advances the simulation exactly one trading day forward by moving through this calendar. I also implemented get_history() , which acts as a security layer between the agent and the raw market data. When historical data is requested, the method filters the dataset to include only dates up to the current simulation date before returning the requested lookback window. This ensures the agent can never accidentally access future information. Example: history = env . get_history ( " AAPL " , lookback_days = 30 ) returns only the previous 30 trading days that existed at that point in time. Along the way I added unit tests to verify: Environment creation Trading-day advancement with step() Historical data retrieval Prevention of future-date access Current project status: ✅ Data download pipeline ✅ Data cleaning pipeline ✅ DataLoader ✅ MarketEnvironment ✅ Trading calendar system ✅ step() simulation advancement ✅ get_history() future-leakage protection ✅ 7 passing tests The simulator can now move through history one trading day at a time while enforcing realistic information constraints—the foundation needed for future trading agents....

I was about to spec a drone. Then I actually researched drone law in Qatar and found out it’s one of the strictest regimes in the world: every single flight needs a QCAA permit (owning a drone gives you no right to fly it), and there’s a privacy law (Penal Code Art. 333) against filming people without consent, penalties up to two years. For a system whose whole job is filming school matches full of players and spectators, that’s not a paperwork hurdle, it’s a wall. My original picture a drone autonomously filming matches was effectively dead. The lesson, written down so I don’t forget it: research the constraints of the real world before you fall in love with a plan. I’d validated the software to machine precision, but I almost skipped checking whether the deployment was even legal. Check the boring stuff first. So I swapped the drone for a 3-DOF gimbal on a rail: a motorised camera mount (pan / tilt / roll) that slides along a track, parked courtside. No permit. Same filming-consent terms my existing fixed cameras already navigate. And it runs every match, not the one-off a permitted drone flight would’ve been. It’s more deployable than the drone ever was. A gimbal is also a categorically real difference from just pointing a camera, for one optical reason that isn’t arguable: a fixed camera can only ever crop the pixels it already has, but a gimbal physically moves the lens real parallax, a real push-in that changes perspective, footage that simply doesn’t exist in a static feed. The human directs the intent (“orbit that player,” “push in”) and the system, which understands the scene, executes the move. That’s the thing a fixed camera can’t do, and it survived the pivot completely intact. M9 — the gimbal’s brain (software) Stardance just opened a hardware track, but this milestone was deliberately software: adapt the system to the gimbal before the parts arrive, so the maths is proven when the hardware lands. The beautiful part: because I’d kept the architecture cleanly separated for nine milestones, the drone→gimbal pivot touched exactly one layer. The gesture engine, the scene tracking, the intent commands, the flight-path engine, the live bridge all unchanged. The only new code is a converter that takes an ideal 3D camera pose and works out what the gimbal can physically do with it: pan/tilt/roll angles to aim, plus a position along the rail. And it stays honest, which is the whole point. A gimbal at a fixed pivot can rotate perfectly but can’t translate so a true orbit (circling a subject) is impossible without the camera leaving its rail. The converter proves this with numbers instead of faking it: a follow shot aims with 0.00° error and zero positional gap (the rig does it cleanly), while an attempted orbit still aims perfectly but reports a 9.05-unit gap, flagged out-of-reach on every frame the system refuses to pretend it can do something the hardware can’t. Honest problems that will probably come up: this is geometry on a perfect simulator. The real gimbal will have motor speed limits, inertia, and backlash, it won’t snap to an angle instantly. That’s the hardware phase’s problem, and I’m not pretending the clean sim is the real rig. Up next: the glove parts are shipping. When they land, the build goes physical. breadboard, sensors, solder. Then the gimbal it is"}, {"post_id": 4838, "ts": "2026-06-08T11:14:50Z", "hours": 1.9914, "text": "Hi I’m Aarav Sharma and I want to direct a drone with my hands, not just piloting but actual direction. Introducing AirLine: direct a drone with your hands, don’t pilot it. Most gesture drones map your hand to a flight stick (tilt to bank, raise to climb) — you become the joystick. AirLine instead reads cinematic intent (“follow that player,” “orbit the subject”) and figures out the flight itself, because it understands the scene. It’s a branch off my capstone SideLine (an AI sports-analytics system that already tracks “the player with the ball”), reusing its vision core untouched. Software first, glove I build myself next, drone last. Devlog: M1: AirLine runs SideLine’s tracker through a clean seam, vision core untouched. ~19 FPS. M2: Lock onto one subject. Found track IDs fragment — 293/540 frames “lost.” Quantified the re-ID problem on footage, not a $400 drone. M3: Virtual camera follows like an operated shot, drifts to wide when the target’s lost. First time it looked real. M4: Webcam gestures (MediaPipe) — but it conflicts with my vision stack. Setup stopped instead of breaking it. Best decision of the day. M5: Quarantined gestures in their own environment. First real-hand numbers: mostly 10/10 after fixing bugs unit tests missed. M6: Two-process live system — my hand directs the shot in real time. ~297ms latency, only 35ms of it transport. M7: First 3D camera move: orbit on a tiltable plane, proven by geometric invariants to machine precision (~4e-16). M8: Added push-in, pull-out, dolly. Full shot vocabulary done. 146 tests, vision core never touched. Next: hardware actually building the gesture glove by hand and integrating a drone"}, {"post_id": 4178, "ts": "2026-06-07T12:19:57Z", "hours": 7.1161, "text": "Hi I’m Aarav Sharma, I started this before Stardance, so this first devlog covers everything built so far (about 6 hours of work) in one go. Sideline is an AI system that films a school football or basketball match from a single fixed camera and turns that one recording into three different things: tactical analytics for coaches, event highlight reels for the school socials, and a personal highlight clip for every player, not just the goal-scorers. It runs entirely on a local laptop with no subscriptions, which matters because the commercial equivalents (Veo, Pixellot) cost hundreds up front plus monthly fees, putting them out of reach for a normal school. The computer vision (both football and basketball). The core is one shared pipeline that detects players and the ball, tracks them across the match, works out which team each player is on, and maps the camera view onto real court coordinates so distances and positions actually mean something in metres. Getting each piece trustworthy was the bulk of the time, and a lot of it was fighting genuinely hard problems. The basketball ball tracker kept locking onto players’ heads (round, ball-sized, and constantly held right next to the ball during a shot), and I had to prove that no shape or size rule could ever separate them before fixing it with a small appearance classifier I trained on a few thousand hand-sorted image crops (head rejection went from hopeless to 98.5%). Team detection on similar kits kept collapsing into one cluster until I switched to appearance embeddings, which also caught a possession stat that was confidently pointing at the wrong team entirely. The three deliverables. Coach analytics come out as a one-page report plus an annotated tactical video (heatmaps, distance covered, possession, formation, territory), with every number honestly labelled as either validated or derived. Event highlights are auto-detected and ranked so the best moments float to the top instead of flooding whoever is editing. Player highlights are built to be inclusive by construction: every player who steps on the court gets footage, using their on-ball moments where they have them, which is the part no commercial product bothers with and the part a school actually cares about. The app. All of that is wrapped in a working local web app, “Sideline, Match Studio”, with a dark cinematic interface a non-technical teacher can run start to finish: upload a match, click the four court corners on a freeze-frame, pick which deliverables they want, and download the results. The backend is a FastAPI server that runs the heavy AI as background jobs (a full match takes around 3 hours, so it processes while you walk away and can survive a restart), and it wraps my existing pipeline scripts rather than rewriting them. The whole thing is tested end to end with 62 passing checks, and I have already stress-tested it on a full 47-minute match to see what breaks at real scale. Next stop is real deployment at my school, which is the one thing I cannot fully validate until I have footage from our own courts and teams."}]...

Sideline is an AI system that films a school football or basketball match from a single fixed camera and turns that one recording into three different things: tactical analytics for coaches, event highlight reels for the school socials, and a personal highlight clip for every player, not just the goal-scorers. It runs entirely on a local laptop with no subscriptions, which matters because the commercial equivalents (Veo, Pixellot) cost hundreds up front plus monthly fees, putting them out of reach for a normal school. The computer vision (both football and basketball). The core is one shared pipeline that detects players and the ball, tracks them across the match, works out which team each player is on, and maps the camera view onto real court coordinates so distances and positions actually mean something in metres. Getting each piece trustworthy was the bulk of the time, and a lot of it was fighting genuinely hard problems. The basketball ball tracker kept locking onto players’ heads (round, ball-sized, and constantly held right next to the ball during a shot), and I had to prove that no shape or size rule could ever separate them before fixing it with a small appearance classifier I trained on a few thousand hand-sorted image crops (head rejection went from hopeless to 98.5%). Team detection on similar kits kept collapsing into one cluster until I switched to appearance embeddings, which also caught a possession stat that was confidently pointing at the wrong team entirely. The three deliverables. Coach analytics come out as a one-page report plus an annotated tactical video (heatmaps, distance covered, possession, formation, territory), with every number honestly labelled as either validated or derived. Event highlights are auto-detected and ranked so the best moments float to the top instead of flooding whoever is editing. Player highlights are built to be inclusive by construction: every player who steps on the court gets footage, using their on-ball moments where they have them, which is the part no commercial product bothers with and the part a school actually cares about. The app. All of that is wrapped in a working local web app, “Sideline, Match Studio”, with a dark cinematic interface a non-technical teacher can run start to finish: upload a match, click the four court corners on a freeze-frame, pick which deliverables they want, and download the results. The backend is a FastAPI server that runs the heavy AI as background jobs (a full match takes around 3 hours, so it processes while you walk away and can survive a restart), and it wraps my existing pipeline scripts rather than rewriting them. The whole thing is tested end to end with 62 passing checks, and I have already stress-tested it on a full 47-minute match to see what breaks at real scale. Next stop is real deployment at my school, which is the one thing I cannot fully validate until I have footage from our own courts and teams.
Hi I’m Aarav Sharma and I want to direct a drone with my hands, not just piloting but actual direction. Introducing AirLine: direct a drone with your hands, don’t pilot it. Most gesture drones map your hand to a flight stick (tilt to bank, raise to climb) — you become the joystick. AirLine instead reads cinematic intent (“follow that player,” “orbit the subject”) and figures out the flight itself, because it understands the scene. It’s a branch off my capstone SideLine (an AI sports-analytics system that already tracks “the player with the ball”), reusing its vision core untouched. Software first, glove I build myself next, drone last. Devlog: M1: AirLine runs SideLine’s tracker through a clean seam, vision core untouched. ~19 FPS. M2: Lock onto one subject. Found track IDs fragment — 293/540 frames “lost.” Quantified the re-ID problem on footage, not a $400 drone. M3: Virtual camera follows like an operated shot, drifts to wide when the target’s lost. First time it looked real. M4: Webcam gestures (MediaPipe) — but it conflicts with my vision stack. Setup stopped instead of breaking it. Best decision of the day. M5: Quarantined gestures in their own environment. First real-hand numbers: mostly 10/10 after fixing bugs unit tests missed. M6: Two-process live system — my hand directs the shot in real time. ~297ms latency, only 35ms of it transport. M7: First 3D camera move: orbit on a tiltable plane, proven by geometric invariants to machine precision (~4e-16). M8: Added push-in, pull-out, dolly. Full shot vocabulary done. 146 tests, vision core never touched. Next: hardware actually building the gesture glove by hand and integrating a drone
The pivot — drone → courtside gimbal (and a lesson) Here’s where the project hit its biggest wall, and I want to log it honestly because the recovery taught me more than any milestone. I was about to spec a drone. Then I actually researched drone law in Qatar and found out it’s one of the strictest regimes in the world: every single flight needs a QCAA permit (owning a drone gives you no right to fly it), and there’s a privacy law (Penal Code Art. 333) against filming people without consent, penalties up to two years. For a system whose whole job is filming school matches full of players and spectators, that’s not a paperwork hurdle, it’s a wall. My original picture a drone autonomously filming matches was effectively dead. The lesson, written down so I don’t forget it: research the constraints of the real world before you fall in love with a plan. I’d validated the software to machine precision, but I almost skipped checking whether the deployment was even legal. Check the boring stuff first. So I swapped the drone for a 3-DOF gimbal on a rail: a motorised camera mount (pan / tilt / roll) that slides along a track, parked courtside. No permit. Same filming-consent terms my existing fixed cameras already navigate. And it runs every match, not the one-off a permitted drone flight would’ve been. It’s more deployable than the drone ever was. A gimbal is also a categorically real difference from just pointing a camera, for one optical reason that isn’t arguable: a fixed camera can only ever crop the pixels it already has, but a gimbal physically moves the lens real parallax, a real push-in that changes perspective, footage that simply doesn’t exist in a static feed. The human directs the intent (“orbit that player,” “push in”) and the system, which understands the scene, executes the move. That’s the thing a fixed camera can’t do, and it survived the pivot completely intact. M9 — the gimbal’s brain (software) Stardance just opened a hardware track, but this milestone was deliberately software: adapt the system to the gimbal before the parts arrive, so the maths is proven when the hardware lands. The beautiful part: because I’d kept the architecture cleanly separated for nine milestones, the drone→gimbal pivot touched exactly one layer. The gesture engine, the scene tracking, the intent commands, the flight-path engine, the live bridge all unchanged. The only new code is a converter that takes an ideal 3D camera pose and works out what the gimbal can physically do with it: pan/tilt/roll angles to aim, plus a position along the rail. And it stays honest, which is the whole point. A gimbal at a fixed pivot can rotate perfectly but can’t translate so a true orbit (circling a subject) is impossible without the camera leaving its rail. The converter proves this with numbers instead of faking it: a follow shot aims with 0.00° error and zero positional gap (the rig does it cleanly), while an attempted orbit still aims perfectly but reports a 9.05-unit gap, flagged out-of-reach on every frame the system refuses to pretend it can do something the hardware can’t. Honest problems that will probably come up: this is geometry on a perfect simulator. The real gimbal will have motor speed limits, inertia, and backlash, it won’t snap to an angle instantly. That’s the hardware phase’s problem, and I’m not pretending the clean sim is the real rig. Up next: the glove parts are shipping. When they land, the build goes physical. breadboard, sensors, solder. Then the gimbal it is...

I’ve attached a ss of a section view of the case. You can see the lip and the chamfer that helps it slide in....

After I had first finished getting the server to send over player join packets, and getting player models to parse and render correctly, I figured I’d be done.

This is the same method I used for determining the camera position for the player. However, there is an issue with this method. It’s very hard to get the tick thread to run on an exact 50ms interval because of OS-level limitations.

Largely been working on making the portable version, involved a crap ton of python and trying to figure out how to use the arduino proprietary C
Upped the ESP32 Firmware, patched holes. Now passes all github tests, seems to be working flawlessly. Here’s the current scuffed UI
So, Currently doing some research on the next stages for the PHANTOM_LEGION project. Specifically, improving the quality of the ship, migrating to C# or CSS or C++ for more optimized performance per-device, as well as considering using TOR to search the web to help maximize privacy. In addition, R&D has begun for a man-portable unit that can gather real-time info on devices around the user.
Ships:
So, I made a program that is largely for data mining for specific things on the internet. Uses OSINT tools such as Maltego, as well as internet archives. Best way to launch it is osint-agent gui, if it doesn’t want to work all the time....

Here’s how the game works: The setting is a blue background, with green ground, and there is a cart on the ground which can be moved in the x direction, there are parcels falling from the sky, at the beginning they are falling slow but as the time progresses, the rate of parcels falling down would increase. The goal of this game is to collect as many parcels, while making sure no more than 3 parcels fall on the ground. As of now, I just planned one difficulty level, after completing that I would build multiple speed levels, and then later leaderboards and stuff. That’s basically what I’ve figured out till now, I will start building the project now. I have attached a picture/sketch of how it will look like. (Please dont mind my drawing)"}]...
