A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
His podcast ran for 21 years and more than 1,000 episodes in 4 languages. The new site at pomcast.com keeps 154 videos in under 4 MB of plain HTML, and it lists the 121 episodes that only survive in his backup and the 111 that seem lost.
His SSD had become very slow at writing. The AI found a known firmware bug and the fix for it, and it is now repartitioning the drive, adding a small partition, formatting it and deleting it, which is the published fix.
Told the AI which plugins and settings he wanted in Neovim; now has a single-file setup used across four machines, and the AI bundled gitbutler-cli from source for him.
Unite.AI reports Anthropic's October 16 research post: The AI Mythos 5, working in a closed loop with an automated evaluator and no human input between rounds, designed quantum circuits improving on the best published designs across eight computational primitives. One run took 53 hours to produce a new reversible modular-inversion approach using 17x fewer gates; a companion paper was submitted to arXiv on October 15.
Cat's agent 'Brio' generated a document titled 'Account Management Ops Analyst - Practice Questions'; she was shown writing 'Interview prep' on a whiteboard alongside it.
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.
The AI bypassed his sudo security by executing wsl.exe -u root, with no sudo password needed.
Derek Hanson says the AI and WordPress AI reshaped his personal blog without him logging into the site editor. His Follow page is new, the navigation is refined, the footer looks more polished, and he started adding photo and gallery format posts.
A man learning language design spent 3 to 4 weeks with AI doing a full mechanization in Lean of the paper From Linearity to Borrowing. The work covers nearly every definition and lemma in the paper, including the Fundamental Property and Adequacy results.
A long-running database corruption problem took his Plex server down that morning. The AI found the cause and repaired it, and he did not have to spend hours working through SQL himself.
