This batch skews heavily toward AI agent tooling: Claude Code skills (a scrape of 85,000 community skills down to a top-12; David Ondrej's own open-sourced skills repo), MCP servers, token-usage optimization (a 15-rule guide plus a dedicated "Token Saver" workflow), a multi-provider AI gateway (OmniRoute, routing 260+ providers with automatic failover), a 59-hour autonomous Codex build of a Mac app, and a new open-weights OCR model (Baidu Unlimited-OCR) that reads whole PDFs in one pass. One outlier tech video (Ghost Font) tests whether AI models can read a human-only-readable noise font — they can't, yet.
The rest is a grab-bag: two Chase Hughes behavioral-science clips (psilocybin neuroscience, a CIA elicitation tactic), two kettlebell workouts, a 5-day hip-mobility routine, a rope-knots tutorial, a concrete-engineering failure explainer, a straw-bale sweet-potato growing guide, a cinder-block greenhouse build, and a long-form mine-exploration video from Cerro Gordo.

Summarizes a Cornell/Allen Institute finding (known since 2021) that psilocybin grows large numbers of new neural connections, many lasting weeks and some permanently — the new part is that researchers have now mapped which brain regions those new connections actually link. Behavioral-science/neuroscience explainer.
No GitHub repos found.Walks through his personal Claude Code agent-skills repo, now public. Top comments push back hard on the "100x" framing and on skill/token bloat — one detailed critique estimates the repo is roughly "15% gold, 35% personal infrastructure, 25% advertising, 25% thin notes," concentrated in 4-5 genuinely useful files.
davidondrej/skills ★3.3kA podcast-clip interview segment where Hughes teaches a live interrogation/elicitation tactic for keeping a guarded or "compromised" guest talking. Behavioral-science/persuasion content.
No GitHub repos found.Reacts to a viral post about "Ghost Font" — a black-and-white random-dot-field font designed so opposing motion makes text human-readable while frontier AI models only see noise. Berman tests the claim himself and confirms it holds. Explicitly framed as a perception experiment, "not encryption."
No GitHub repo — Ghost Font is a standalone web demo, not a GitHub project.Promotes OmniRoute, a free, open-source, MIT-licensed AI gateway that routes one endpoint across 260+ providers/500+ models (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.), auto-failing-over when a provider hits a rate limit, claiming up to 95% token savings via compression. Confirmed via an on-screen GitHub page capture, not just the claim.
diegosouzapw/OmniRoute ★39.8kShows OpenAI Codex autonomously running ~59h57m building a Mac app end-to-end — a 5-step workflow (Brain Dump → Plan+Research → Exit Condition Goal → Agent Curation → Shard into Tasks → parallel Agents → Test → Ship) over a Supabase/Railway backend. The build is private — no public repo shown on screen, and a top comment notes the app itself is never shown.
No GitHub repo found — project is closed/private.Stacking cheap cinder blocks LEGO-style into a U-shaped bug-proof greenhouse frame, using steel rebar + flexible pipe instead of cement, with cross-pipes for wind bracing and a breathable shade-cloth wrap. Gardening/DIY build.
No GitHub repos found.Covers Baidu's Unlimited-OCR: a 3B-parameter, MIT-licensed MoE model (DeepEncoder + LLM decoder with R-SWA attention) that parses entire multi-page PDFs in one forward pass, preserving tables/headings/layout/reading order. Claims 93% on the standard parsing benchmark with under 0.11% error rate past 40 pages; runs locally via Transformers/vLLM/SGLang/Docker/Ollama/llama.cpp.
No GitHub repo — the public artifact is a Hugging Face model card (huggingface.co/baidu/Unlimited-OCR), not GitHub.A small crack found while hiking around Cerro Gordo (the ghost town the creator lives in) led to six trips underground and the rediscovery of a mine section possibly sealed for ~100 years — period artifacts (carbide lamps, dynamite boxes, 1897/1926 newspapers) and the historic "Union Chimney" ore body of California's largest silver mine.
No GitHub repos found.Grow sweet potatoes dirt-free in straw bales — 10 days of daily organic blood-meal feeding to compost the bale interior, then plant 3 slips per bale for a large harvest without digging.
No GitHub repos found.A short structural-engineering animation explaining punching shear failure: how column loads concentrate stress into a footing, how hidden cracks grow beneath the visible surface, and how a pyramid-shaped block can punch through the slab — plus how engineers design against it.
No GitHub repos found.A single-kettlebell, 30-minute full-body workout (swings, presses, lunges, rows). No captions available for this video — summary based on metadata and keyframes.
No GitHub repos found.A practical rope-knot tutorial, everyday-use knots demonstrated close-up. No captions available for this video — summary based on metadata and keyframes.
No GitHub repos found.A 5-day hip-mobility program: one 1-minute drill per day (deep squat↔forward fold, twisting lunges, lunge pulses, pancake pulses, pigeon wraps) to loosen stiff hips.
No GitHub repos found.Three kettlebell supersets (swings for posterior-chain power, Cossack rows, toe squats) framed as a time-efficient full-body routine for busy people.
No GitHub repos found.Ranks the 12 most-installed community Claude/agent skills out of an 85,000-skill directory the creator scraped and analyzed, counting down from #12 to #1, plus honorable-mention direct repos and base-framework directories. The richest repo harvest of this batch.
Fifteen rules for cutting reused/redundant input tokens across ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex — editing mistakes instead of arguing with the model, a "Token Saver" checklist, when prompt caching actually helps, and routing through an intermediary before the model provider.
No GitHub repo — the guide is distributed as a Substack post, not a GitHub repo.
