A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Working with AI on his NeoBox emulator, he found setjmp was eating 81 percent of frame time, switched to _setjmp for a roughly 130x per-call gain, and the fix was merged upstream in Geolith.
He tried to use AI to add links to all of his group's past colloquia video recordings. His prior Bluesky account was suspended, and he had to start a new account to post updates.
Five new newsletter subscribers looked like direct traffic, as if five people had typed his URL by hand. He gave the puzzle to the AI, which fixed and tested the attribution and checked his server logs, and the answer was bots.
Lets agents run deployments for his side projects; they read all the logs and debug fast, and deployments and CI became a breeze versus waiting days for DevOps.
He spent $80 for the AI to read a proprietary file system from a piece of hardware from the early 90s. The AI extracted all the files intact.
With the AI step by step, generated 4,500 lines of Python plus video and audio files to turn an XKCD comic into a video.
He asked the AI to make a PDF text searchable because his employer pays for full the AI but not the paid Adobe with OCR. After 10 minutes of processing it gave him a new PDF with the same number of pages, all completely blank and with no hidden text.
Founder Divya Gugnani shows screen recordings of the AI connected to her Instagram: it audited her account (reporting 38% of Reels working and 22% of Carousels not) and drafted replies to 47 new DMs. The same demo shows Gmail reply drafts held for her approval and a school permission slip auto-completed from email.
He wanted to type into a remote tmux session from his phone. The AI wrote a script that finds the pane, watches for his messages, and injects the text as keystrokes, and it works.
Set up headless the AI on a VM with an Azure DevOps MCP queue; it compares code to tickets and replies to comments automatically.
