A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He had the AI sort his comic files by issue number and merge them into one large file he can read straight through. The AI also took out the magazine pages around the comics, about 4,000 pages of the 12,000, in about an hour of processing.
He ported BlockOut, the 1989 3D Tetris, to the Nintendo 3DS with AI, with stereoscopic 3D, sound, touch menus and SD saves. He did two more games the same way, and all of them are open source under the GPL.
Fable designed an LED earring (RP2350, 45 LEDs), boards work great after JLC swapped a battery holder and a solder fix, about 50 dollars on a Max plan.
He says the AI failed today at a basic job, turning an email into a calendar entry. He does not think he should have to pay for failures like that.
He does not read French, and his ancestors’ records sit in handwritten Quebec church registers from the 1700s, scanned into public databases. Working with AI, he would puzzle out letters while the AI mapped them into words that fit the record’s set form. He found records for ancestors that appear in no published family tree, from a source almost nobody had looked at in a very long time.
He used AI to create a small tool on val.town that automatically syncs his GoodReads updates to BookHive. The val.town blog featured the tool as one of his experiments.
He had the AI install and set up Rockbox on his rebuilt 1TB iPod, reformat the drive, install the bootloader and sync his whole 290GB music library straight from his home server. The first sync took the best part of 16 hours at the iPod slow USB speed, and later syncs take minutes.
Gave AI full control to build a desktop environment he uses daily, with features appearing during the workday and lower RAM and VRAM use than standard desktops.
Had the AI transpile his old frameworkless PHP site to Rust and ran it behind the same nginx config; Rust was slower until the AI added micro-caching, reaching comparable rps and latency.
She told the AI Astra to build a GTA 6 style trailer. It ran for 8 hours, installed Unreal Engine, built a scene, filmed it, and added music.
