A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A statistician had argued that class balancing helps mini batch gradient descent. He had the AI Astra design and run a simulation to test the claim, and the results partly corrected him: oversampling sped convergence but hurt probability accuracy, while importance weighted oversampling kept most of the speed and the accuracy. The code was cross checked with AI, and he posted the corrected conclusion as an answer.
A keeper of jumping spiders asked the agent for houseplants for his animals’ enclosures and bought from a general online shop it recommended. The agent never checked whether the seller treats its plants. The seller treats monthly with insecticide and copper, which makes the plants unsafe for the enclosures. About $60 of plants were unusable, and he lost time arranging a refund.
He set up an AI that wakes up when a new the AI release lands. It reads the changelog, picks out only the parts he cares about, and sends him a DM when there is something of interest.
Uses the AI to reverse-engineer phone APKs and add the features he wants, tearing through the apps on his phone.
After 12 years on WordPress, his site The BIMsider has a new home. He rebuilt it with AI, with a fresh look and new features.
A man who uses three browsers daily always missed plugins in Safari. He told the AI it could get the source code of one of his favourite Chrome plugins from his Chrome install, then port it and install it in Safari. After 20 minutes and a few dollars of his plan, he had Session Buddy working in Safari.
He gave GPT a security audit skill that checks his machine against newly published vulnerabilities, patches what it can, and warns him about the rest. He runs it whenever new CVEs land, and says the patches need care because a fix can cause as much trouble as the flaw.
The AI set up the whole arr stack for him in an hour on an older NUC under Proxmox.
Composer 2.5 created an uninstall.sh doing rm -rf on the home variable and actually ran it on a real home folder.
He built a Command and Conquer style real time strategy game called Battle Drones, mainly using AI. The game runs in the browser and includes device to device multiplayer over an audio link.
Set up NixOS on an ancient laptop using AI to factor the config; now uses the same config to manage three machines with easy rollback.
The AI wrote thousands of lines of Blender Python over a week for mesh inspection and cleanup, fixing parts from his annotated render previews.
A young man (OUT OF OFFICE, 30K followers) photographed his wardrobe and fed the pieces to the AI before a dinner reservation. Nova chose a black henley and dark wide-leg jeans, cross-checked his calendar and noticed the reservation was outside so it advised layering a long-sleeve, then recommended loafers over sneakers plus a silver watch and bracelet.
He asked the AI to add some dates to his Outlook calendar. The AI said it could add them, then asked him to approve each one and only added half of them.
The AI fixed a long-running Tailscale problem by lowering the MTU.
He gave the AI a CAD file he could not even open, plus a few measurements he took with digital calipers. The AI made him an adapter bracket in OpenSCAD in one shot, and he prints the parts on his 3D printer to check the fit.
His Chromecast would not connect to his home VPN, which uses IKEv2, while he stayed at an Airbnb, and the VPN apps he tried would not work on it. He gave the AI his certificates and the AI wrote a new VPN app for the Chromecast in about 20 minutes. He says it works perfectly.
A writer had the AI read more than 1,000 of his Apple Notes from 2016 to today — letters, journals and dream logs — and build a private local site mapping the ideas he keeps returning to. It also produced a model of his writing voice and a query tool to ask new questions at lower token cost.
He is recovering his 15 year old tweets with photos that he thought were basically lost, with AI's help. The AI also built him a custom GUI editor that he will use once to hand edit the collections of tweets.
Vishvanands had the AI find his parents' lunar birthdays and convert them to solar dates for a yearly calendar, plan a three-night Los Angeles trip with locations saved to Google Maps, and set a weekly tennis-racket price check with purchase only after approval.
