You are right! We just rushed to bring the game to market as soon as possible.

In the meantime I created capsule art based on in-game snapshots + Canva for text. I also re-did the survey and I am now not using AI for the art at all. Still using AI for internal tools, queries about Unreal Engine, small tasks in the dev process, but this is excluded by the survey on Steam or Epic. For the 3d models I buy the models or creating them myself. AI for real models still has a lot of way to go IMHO.

oh this shouldn't happen. Will try to replicate it right now and push a fix today.

LE: confirmed and fixed.

thanks!

as much as I'd like to state otherwise, I believe the game itself is not enough to make you a chip designer, i.e. to get a job as a chip designer. It's just for fun and learn something new in the process.

what a blast from the past!!

Thanks! I cannot edit it anymore for some reason...

Ok mr expert anything else you would like to share from your unlimited wisdom?

You're right in theory, but it doesn't mean the US gov has unrestricted access to the data. There needs to be a legal process in place and there are safeguards that prevent accessing the data without that. This will happen to any company within US jurisdiction, as authorities can compel any provider to give them the required data.

No, they use OpenAI with deployment in the Swedish data centers, which keeps inference local. Azure and GCP already offers this. No idea about Claude though.

I have recently published Chip Builder, a game where you create your own chip from transistors, write machine code and coordinate the processes in the factory to actually ship the chip.

You then transition from Chip Architect to CEO and lead the entire company. The game transforms into a turn-based grand strategy game where you navigate economical and geopolitical challenges across multiple eras, starting with 1947. You hire engineers and your c-suite team, delegate tasks, invest the company's money, raise funding or even go public and deal with competition. Rivals will poach your top people, engage in corporate espionage to sabotage your company and steal your intellectual property.

I have added also significant historical events as easter eggs, celebrating past scientific achievements (humanity is awesome!).

On top of that, you need to deal with vendors, some of them cheap and unreliable, deal with new environmental regulation or comply with trade wars between countries.

Did something similar using a SimCity-like simulator for how LLMs work: https://laurentiugabriel.github.io/token-town/

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.

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.

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.

What if tiktok showed you github repos instead of mindless videos? This is GiTok -> TikTok for software engineers.

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.

Calculus probably not, but you can find other types of animations for it. Learning how web requests work definitely fits this animation type.

Did my SaaS inspire you to create this post?

What does this have to do with the topic?

The way learning new stuff rewires your brain cannot really be predicted, but the effects are positive.

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.

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!
