A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He finished setting up Obsidian so new notes file themselves into the day's folder and link into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes. The templates behind it were made by the AI, and he says it would have been impossible without it.
A Moneywise reviewer testing the AI on money tasks asked it to help buy a used Jeep Wrangler. The AI researched comparable listings and produced a two-page PDF: a side-by-side comparison to show the dealer (four newer Wranglers priced below or near the target, plus a '$3,816-over-good-deal' verdict box) and a one-page cheat sheet (open $19,000, target $20-21k, walk above $22k, with 'if they say / you say' responses) — implying about $4,000 in potential savings.
The AI built a fast personal image browser for his many old photo folders, which he uses and likes.
With the AI’s help, mainly converting his site from Craft to 11ty, he revived an old side project. Subscribe to is a searchable directory of email newsletters and RSS feeds, and it is back online.
He built an automation with AI that runs on Val Town. It reads his Goodreads progress updates and reviews from RSS and cross posts them to bookhive.buzz as AT Protocol records.
The AI ran a protein-design pipeline at home on a 5090, chose similar tooling, and generated about 100 trajectories running 24 hours.
Ported a Linux game binary from Cortex-A7 to Allwinner A133P in about 2 hours using AI, with no source.
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.
For a year he plugged in a USB WiFi dongle because his built in WiFi was not working and he could not fix it himself. The AI fixed the built in WiFi in 10 minutes.
A user built optimAIzr with AI, a local-only CLI that analyses his own LLM usage habits, flags costly or repeated patterns and estimates where he can cut tokens or spending. All data stays on his machine, and the tool adds live tips while he works.
