laurentiurad··on Transformers Explained Visually
Did something similar using a SimCity-like simulator for how LLMs work: https://laurentiugabriel.github.io/token-town/
laurentiurad··on Fable 5.1 World Modeling
I created a skill just for the 3d models. Works with Unreal Engine too. It generates an image using stable diffusion, then it transforms the object in the image into a 3d object using Hunyuan3D-2. You can check it out here: https://github.com/LaurentiuGabriel/unreal-game-assets-creat...

I share the same experience. I use android and I never experienced any bugs or slowness. The Garmin app is also really good.
laurentiurad··on Being ambitious and being a dad
Nothing bad about chasing money and fame tbh. It's just the way it's phrased feels like the author believes he's curing cancer or world hunger.
laurentiurad··on Being ambitious and being a dad
A lot of juggling with words here: being ambitious, a builder, competing etc. It really boils down to the same thing: making more money + fame. The author should really stick to that and stop hiding behind big words. There's nothing noble about the recent slop-producing startups that YC funds. They do not make the world a better place.
laurentiurad··on I made a TikTok-style feed for interesting GitHub repos
What if tiktok showed you github repos instead of mindless videos? This is GiTok -> TikTok for software engineers.
laurentiurad··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
There's no reference to AIvestor in the article I shared. You decided to dig through Google, GH and what not to find stuff that could potentially be used against me personally and you really failed, exposing yourself as a rando sore loser on the Internet.

looks super cool!

Yes! I added it here: https://github.com/LaurentiuGabriel/learnscape

This post went a bit too far with the accusations and therefore I am responding. First of all, I am not sure why you felt the need to search for me on the Internet, considering the original post has nothing to do with this SaaS. Do you really have that much free time and you don't know how to fill the gaps that you start researching and potentially doxx people?

Quantiacs is absolutely a legit competition. If you are interested in quant trading it's impossible not to have heard about it. Here I can see that you have absolutely no clue about this field, which is fine, but don't act as if you're a market guru which "knows about current markets".

I don't know what knowledge you have about the current markets, these stocks shown on the landing page are picked by the agent. The SaaS I built is built on the OSS chatbot I created. I host it on a machine I pay for, I change the models frequently and you get support for any technical issues. People can still use the OSS agent, but they need to host it themselves, use their own API keys, do changes themselves etc.

I have no problem selling something that works for me and that I worked hard to bring up and I don't care what a random on the internet has to say, but do not spread misinformation about something that you have no idea on how it works.

No worries at all!

BTW I created a skill in the end for this type of animations: https://github.com/LaurentiuGabriel/learnscape

they haven't pointed any corrections, just complained that something is wrong, which it isn't, it's just wording preference. You nailed it: just two randos on the internet making a statement, nothing that challenges the accuracy of the info.
laurentiurad··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
Calculus probably not, but you can find other types of animations for it. Learning how web requests work definitely fits this animation type.
laurentiurad··on Ask HN: How has AI helped your personal algorithmic trading strategy?
Did my SaaS inspire you to create this post?
laurentiurad··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
What does this have to do with the topic?
laurentiurad··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
The way learning new stuff rewires your brain cannot really be predicted, but the effects are positive.
laurentiurad··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
In my experience it depends on how much in detail you want to go. Chip manufacturing is a really opaque industry, so in this particular case LLMs might not even have the training data. However, using it for a high-level introduction into something is usually pretty safe from hallucinations.
laurentiurad··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
I built and run several SaaS platforms: - https://dave-bot.com -> a full-stack AI platform where you can generate videos, images, music, code, 3d objects with frontier Gen AI models.

- https://headsnap.io -> a platform that you can generate images of yourself based on 4 selfies.

- https://quantiq.live -> a service providing financial and historical data for stocks, as well as government trades.

- https://aivestor.tech -> an AI agent that picks small/midcap stocks and trades them using Alpaca API. It uses Reddit, news, polymarket, Google Trends and many other data sources to take investment decisions.

- @Polyglot_lingua_bot -> a voice-enabled Telegram-based bot that can help you learn new languages.

- https://select.supply -> a directory of carefully-curated and well-crafted products.

All of those allowed me to quit my day job and live a comfortable and flexible life. I still invest time in maintenance and adding new features, but I love coding, marketing and everything that comes with promoting and selling a SaaS (and I also have a serious addiction for Stripe notifications).

On top of that, I developed my own software agency where I help clients build and scale software (https://bitheap.ch).

Thanks! The original title was "How I use LLMs to learn...", but somehow HN removed the "How" part. I even removed the initial post thinking it was a typo on my end and tried to post again, but I stumbled upon the same behavior.

good one! Thanks!

If it's TokenTown, then it's my project :) There's no skill file AFAIK, at least I didn't create one.
laurentiurad··on Read HN twice a day for the last decade. Here's my list of S-Tier HN links
Thanks a lot! Please do let me know when the list is up

This is an awesome list! Thanks for featuring ChipBuilder!

I also added the list to my StumbleUpon clone: https://select.supply/stumble

laurentiurad··on Learn how chips are made with this Rollercoaster Tycoon-inspired animation
I added just that! Thanks for the feedback!

https://laurentiugabriel.github.io/euv-lithography/ -> something more specialized and still not finished, but willing to create a Factorio-style game on how EUV litography works.

So you posted a comment, then refused to give details because I can do it myself "in 5 minutes of research"? Like I said previously, this is not meant to be sent to TSMC so they know what to do when opening their new fab in Arizona.
laurentiurad··on Learn how chips are made with this Rollercoaster Tycoon-inspired animation
That would really be awesome to see! It's one of the most complex machines that humans ever produced.
laurentiurad··on Learn how chips are made with this Rollercoaster Tycoon-inspired animation
Yet you didn't say what is wrong. What is the purpose of your comment? Might not be photographed but projected through a photomask. Does it change the semantics? No. This is not a guide for developing a fab, just to be clear.
laurentiurad··on Learn how chips are made with this Rollercoaster Tycoon-inspired animation
Why is it wrong? Asking as I am keen to correct it
