A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He built a plugin that lets his agent drive the Sway window manager directly, and used it to switch from X11 to Wayland, something he says did not work for him before. He now asks the agent things like which window is taking the most memory and has it start and stop power profiles.
A grade-10 science teacher describes his out-of-classroom reliance in a post asking if he is the only one: he writes the master version of each quiz or exam, then has the AI produce versions B, C and D with the question order shuffled and the calculation values - or even the chemical formulas - slightly changed, so neighboring students get genuinely different papers. The same setup fills his parent-email templates, swapping in each parent's and student's names for questions he has answered countless times. He double-checks everything before it goes out.
After 12 years on WordPress, his site The BIMsider has a new home. He rebuilt it with AI, with a fresh look and new features.
His Mac was down to 50 GB of free space and he had not noticed. He used AI to clean up the disk, and in under 10 minutes he had 1.2 TB free.
He lost most of his vision this year to a rare genetic condition. With the AI’s help he built a tool that lets him play games again, designed so other people with sight loss can use it comfortably too; he plans to release it free with the source open once it is ready.
The AI, directed by voice from his phone, made live edits to his website and the page refreshed with the fix.
His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
The AI set up the whole arr stack for him in an hour on an older NUC under Proxmox.
He used AI to build his own to-do and budgeting apps that work the way his brain works, after never finding apps that suited him. The AI also taught him how to sideload them onto his phone, and he calls it a game changer.
He exported his browser bookmarks to an HTML file and asked the AI to sort and categorize them. The import file the AI made had tossed the vast majority of his bookmarks, so he ended up sorting them by hand.
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.
