I wrote a C++ ray tracer from scratch without AI
Verified live by HTTP probe across 20 observations. Pulse momentum is negative over 30 days (-2.4) — observed activity is receding.

generated from the observed metrics above · no external narrativeI wrote a C++ ray tracer from scratch without AI's listed site resolved live when we last probed it on Aug 24, 2026, so we mark it verified alive. Its Pulse Index is 49.4 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 6 functional tags. It has no curated competitive-alternative edges yet, so the comparable set below is functional tag-similarity — read it with the confidence flags.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Overlap is the shared functional-tag ratio (Jaccard) for tag-matched rows. Pulse is the observed-activity index real and 30d Δ its signed month change; a dash means insufficient observed history, never zero.
