I've taken all the cool stuff I've ever built and put it onto one page, here: davidryan59.github.io I'll be adding to this over time, since I now have more free time 😀 in between helping people and companies solve their pain points using AI automation Build!

Sonnet 5.5 is now available! Do we know why @AnthropicAI are keeping Opus 5 and Sonnet 5 around? Nostalgia? what's the use case? Opus 5.5 for last few days has been amazing. Look forward to using Sonnet 5.5 and getting more built each week.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is out! We wrote a guide for building with it: • choosing between Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 • migrating from Sonnet 5 and tuning effort • using it in Claude Code claude.dev/blog/building-wit…

Today I created an app "Smash Screen" to economically destroy various electronic devices with a hammer and see the pretty patterns on the screen. Play here! drbuild.uk/smash

My Smash Screen vibe game now has Anger Mode! Like Street Fighter but with you vs The Screen. KO that varmint to 100% damage without getting yourself injured by flying glass and other deadly stuff. New weapons like fist, bomb, fish 😜 Play here! drbuild.uk/smash

Added simple in-game music to Smash Screen, chiptune style! Claude Opus 5.5 isn't terrible at writing music - but its not particularly good either 😅 It was however good at refactoring out music description into a MIDI-like format, so I can work directly on individual notes.

The cryptographic world computer: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties. FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.

Einstein Tiles! Discovered in 2023 by David Smith, these long sought after tiles can cover the whole plane with only one shape, and never repeat themselves. I wrote an interactive explorer to view lots of these crazy tilings, and morph their parameters in mind bending ways.

Correction: @apgox already proved in 2023 that a certain polygon was a Spectre tile with the required properties. I've rewritten the draft paper to extend his original single example to a 2-parameter family of triangle-edged tiles. drbuild.uk/papers/polygonal-…

I think that, in particular, this means that the following equilateral 28-gon (with angles of only {90, 120, 180, 240, 270} degrees) is a chiral aperiodic monotile:
