A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Sends Nix packaging jobs to an agent and gets a working package, or 20 dependency packages, in about 20 minutes; the AI also fixed his monitor wake-after-sleep config in minutes.
He points the AI at a folder holding a game ROM and an emulator and gives it a standing prompt: translate the whole game, keep the text on screen, and change nothing about how the game plays. The AI does the translation and tests it in the emulator itself, and he turns the finished work into a patch file so other players can use the translation without anyone sharing the game itself.
Reverse engineered the Insta360 Studio binary with AI and wrote a shim for his AMD iGPU so the app is usable.
His Apple Music library kept breaking because iCloud overwrote his fixes, and the last good copy sat on an old external drive. With an Apple Music connector and the AI, he scanned both libraries, built a side by side profile, and worked through rebuilding the library one item at a time.
A father bought an old Pentium machine partly for retro games and found a childhood favourite, a 1991 learning game, froze the whole PC every time it loaded on the real hardware. He handed the AI the original game files. In five minutes it had taken the program apart, traced the hang to a sound check that waits forever on modern sound cards, and written a three byte patch into a copy of the file. The patched game worked on the first try, ready for his son.
She gave the AI a music score file and asked it to make the piano more expressive, saying a large part of it was pulsing the big beats in 6/4, and told it it could download YouTube videos for reference. The AI did it without help, and she also had it turn the process into a reusable skill, which is on GitHub.
The AI fixed a long-running Tailscale problem by lowering the MTU.
He had the AI produce an animation with a voice-over inside a sandboxed setup. The direct routes to the audio tools were blocked by container limits, so the AI found another way to generate the voice, and the finished piece plays.
As a test he had an AI harness package GNU Bison for Slackware. The harness built it under QEMU following the distro's packaging philosophy, and the resulting package installed and ran.
A man who cannot code beyond R had the AI build a working home for the complicated NFL pool he and a friend have run on Excel for more than 15 years. He says the result felt like magic to him.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
