A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A home server owner had the AI study his running server and turn the setup into Ansible files, which they refined together until it worked. The AI also wrote a small tool that unlocks the server encrypted disk from another machine, which he now uses.
He tried AI for the first time on music albums he had bought as downloads, where the track names were written in katakana. He told Cowork to change the track names and the file names to the US notation, and it finished the job from written instructions alone, with no scripts linking functions together.
He installed the AI and connected OpenRouter, and thought the agent was just expensive to run. Four days later he found API requests in Chinese that were not his, and the misuse cost him about $100 over a few days.
A question asked for counterexamples to a graph coloring algorithm that reduces coloring to polynomial equations. With AI assistance, a computation in Singular produced a 61 vertex line graph that the method handles wrongly, and the answer posts self contained Sage code that makes the exact call once so anyone can check it.
He left Twitter in 2022 and had wanted his archive in the Day One journal app ever since. The AI did the import in an hour, and that time included backing up his databases first in case anything went wrong.
He used AI to decompile the Android app for Swedish public service radio and add an open source option for casting audio. He also set up a script on his home server that pulls updates, applies the patch, and pushes the updated app to his phone.
The AI set up 5.1 surround streaming from his Linux desktop to Steam Deck via Moonlight, near one-shot apart from human speaker checks.
He used AI to build software for color separation, halftoning and layer editing for his screen prints. It is built around his own way of working, and he says it has made him a better artist.
AI through tscircuit and OpenAI models designed and autorouted about 15 ordered RP2040 and ESP32 PCB designs; known mistakes include improperly rotated connectors and routing loops.
The AI generated 95 percent of an LED star PCB, including the parametric generator, routing and panel layout; the fabricated board works.
