A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Commenting on the Top 20 post, he says he is in an office football pool where you rank games by how sure you are of the outcome, and he kept forgetting his picks and found it a chore. He gave the AI his login and they worked out rules together: The AI makes his picks each week based on Vegas point spreads and analyst information. The pool site has an awkward interface, and he says the AI handled it well.
After a fake Cloudflare page tricked him into infecting his own laptop, a man first tried AI, which refused the job. He then ran an agent on DeepSeek v4 Flash through opencode, and it did the full reverse engineering and forensics and deleted every trace of the malware.
He normally develops his astro photos in Siril. This time he handed the AI the raw stacked FITS file straight off his Seestar S50 and asked for three things only: flatten the background gradient, remove the noise, and stretch the image to bring out the spiral structure.
A man set up his agent setup so the AI could ping him on Telegram when it needed hands. Working on hardware together, he got a message every 5 to 15 minutes telling him to move a resistor or patch cable in a set way, and following the instructions they got the hardware working the way he wanted.
Since the end of August he has added three new CI servers to his own setup. The AI wrote each NixOS setup and he checked the work, so now he can rebuild any of the servers from scratch in minutes.
An old printer orphaned by macOS 27 got a second life: The AI wrote the driver while using its owner as the diagnostic instrument - asking him to judge whether each line was progressively less visible, whether page one's DPI was lower - until the printer printed correctly again.
A man speaks voice notes into a smart ring during the day, and the AI sorts each note and sends it to the right place: memos and to-dos go to kintone, and answers come back on Slack and are read aloud. Every morning at 6 it sends him a summary of the day before, with the weather, the town garbage day, and what to take with him.
Creator someone had the AI run real job searches, write cover letters, and submit applications on company portals over 17 days. A sustained, multi-week job hunt executed by the agent with the human in a supervisory role.
Had a frontier LLM decode an old Director game and port it to run in a web browser in about 2 hours, reusing existing OSS libraries.
Used the AI to reverse-engineer a neural network accelerator in a Chinese WiFi camera SoC and implement an ONNX compiler and runtime, resulting in a working 20 dollar AI smart camera.
