Show HN: AudienceLab – Instantly Test Ideas with AI "Focus Groups"
I wanted a faster way to test early-stage ideas, ads, and copy. AudienceLab creates AI personas (e.g., Hacker News readers, startup founders, or any custom segment) that “vote” on which version resonates and explain why. It’s like an on-demand focus group. Hoping to get your thoughts on usability, possible improvements, and whether this might help your process!

Show HN: ESP32 Internet Speed Based WiFi Switcher for Linux
Hi! My friends and I built this tool for our university internetworking class that lets you use an esp32 with a host PC to check the download speeds of available WiFi networks in the background. When a new fastest network is found, it sends a message to the host PC saying to switch to that network, saving you the effort of pausing your current task and manually switching.

Show HN: Beyond-NanoGPT
Hi all, my first time posting here :)
I spent the last few weeks writing a repo that aims to help people go from nanoGPT-level LLM basics to closer to the modern research deep learning frontier.
I'm open sourcing it: it contains thousands of lines of annotated, from-scratch pytorch implementing everything from speculative decoding to vision/diffusion transformers to linear and sparse attention, and much more.
I'd love to hear feedback on fundamental research papers from the last few years I missed and should definitely implement, or feedback of any other kind. It's my first time posting to HN and I've seen so many cool projects here over the years :)
