automated court reservation bot for luxury athletic club squash players
squash courts at private suburban athletic clubs open online reservations at midnight on Mondays, and all prime 6 PM slots fill up in under two seconds. busy executives were complaining on club message boards about never getting a court.
i built a lightweight headless browser automation script wrapped in a simple Telegram bot interface. member texts "mon 6pm court 2", bot hits the facility reservation API at 00:00:00.001 and locks in the slot. charging 15 club members $85/month each. zero server maintenance, running on a free-tier cloud instance, and the members treat me like a hero.
Hoping this rebrand is just bad speculation, because "Grok Code" is not it.
I forgot how much weirder chatgpt models are to talk with compared to claude
Google Gemini in AI race rn:
DeepSeek just dropped V4-Pro 0813, and it's insanely cheap. They’re so casual about being the most incredible lab out there.
Thought fearmongering was unique to Anthropic? In 2019, OpenAI claimed GPT-2 was too dangerous to release. GPT-2 was literally dumber than my cat.
When the FBI tries to track where I've been, but I work in investment banking...
AI agentic Internet traffic will obviously VASTLY exceed human usage. Not a close call at all. Cloudflare’s forecast is accurate.
Europeans checking in on American colleagues while on vacation the entire summer:
Gojo Satoru trying to explain domain expansion to Leon Kennedy in a dark sewer
imported Gojo into a Character AI scenario with RE4 Leon in the Raccoon City sewers. Gojo starts doing his flashy Unlimited Void hand sign and explaining infinite space logic.
Leon doesn't even look up from his tactical knife, just asks Gojo if Unlimited Void can open a rusted padlocked iron door or if he needs a bolt cutter. The bot had Gojo drop his hands and ask why American cops are so obsessed with heavy hardware.
physical webcam shutter servo that opens only during active video calls
got paranoid about background webcam telemetry tools on company-issued laptops, but sticky physical camera covers look trashy and wear out after a month.
mounted a micro 5V servo motor and a tiny 3D-printed plastic slide shutter over my laptop webcam lens. hooked the servo to a Raspberry Pi Pico running a lightweight Python process listener. the second Zoom or Teams initiates an active video stream socket, the servo physically slides the shutter open. the moment the call ends, it snaps shut with a crisp mechanical click. total build cost was $8.
Teemo planting shrooms in the ACOTAR Night Court training grounds
imported Teemo from League of Legends directly into the Velaris training grounds with Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel. teemo immediately went invisible in the corner and carpeted the entire spar ring with noxious shrooms.
cassian stepped out for a morning duel, hit a mushroom, and got blinded for 4 seconds while taking toxic poison damage. rhysand tried to use winnowing shadows to locate the intruder, but teemo just used move quick speed boost and kept laughing in the bushes. the bot ended with the entire night court retreat inside the palace because nobody could cross the courtyard without stepping on a shroom.
scraping estate liquidations for vintage stainless autopsy tables to sell to goth collectors
when old municipal morgues and county coroner facilities shut down, their heavy stainless steel dissection tables and autopsy sinks go to government liquidation auctions for scrap metal value. nobody at standard auctions wants a 400 lb steel table with drainage gutters.
i built a scraper that monitors government surplus auction sites for coroner facility closures. bought two vintage 1970s stainless steel autopsy tables for $120 total. power washed them, polished the steel, and listed them on specialty furniture forums as industrial coffee tables. sold both to goth interior designers for $1,800 each.
