In plain words
Lore Engine is a tool that condenses lengthy lectures into concise, comprehensive notes. It processes 10-hour lecture recordings and distills them into approximately 2 hours of material while retaining key information. Designed for students and professionals who need to review educational content efficiently, it automates the note-taking process to save time on manual summarization. The tool is available as open source on GitHub.

Every lecture has lore. Most of it is locked in 10-hour videos and cryptic PDFs. What if you could transform all of it into comprehensive, readable notes? Lectures have the perfect amount of explanation—not a sparse slide deck, not a dense textbook. This tool gives you lecture-quality explanations for everything : your professor's cryptic PDFs, incomprehensible handwritten notes, and those endless video recordings. The Lore Engine is a multimodal AI pipeline that transforms educational content—PDFs, videos, handwritten notes, and transcripts—into comprehensive, searchable markdown notes with explanations, screenshots and diagrams. Think of it as a knowledge extraction engine: you feed it…from github.com

I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models workApr 2026 · github.com · ▲915Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.
I modeled the Voynich Manuscript with SBERT to test for structure2025 · github.com · ▲381I built this project as a way to learn more about NLP by applying it to something weird and unsolved. The Voynich Manuscript is a 15th-century book written in an unknown script. No one’s been able to translate it, and many think it’s a hoax, a cipher, or a constructed language. I wasn’t trying to decode it — I just wanted to see: does it behave like a structured language? I stripped a handful of common suffix-like endings (aiin, dy, etc.) to isolate what looked like root forms. I know that’s a strong assumption — I call it out directly in the repo — but it helped clarify the clustering. From…
- HLHow LLMs Work – Interactive visual guide based on Karpathy's lectureApr 2026 · ynarwal.github.io · ▲245
All content is based on Andrej Karpathy's "Intro to Large Language Models" lecture (youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI). I downloaded the transcript and used Claude Code to generate the entire interactive site from it — single HTML file. I find it useful to revisit this content time to time.
- IMI made an AI that turn live lecture into structured notes,mind-maps,PDF2025 · notorium.app · ▲27
Hi HN, University lectures are long, dense, and fast-paced. Like many students, I used to record them thinking I’d revisit them later — but that never really worked. Even transcripts felt like raw logs. So I built [Notorium](https://www.notorium.app) — an AI assistant that records live lectures and automatically turns them into structured notes, flowcharts, and mind maps— within minutes after class. What it does: - Record lectures inside the app (in-person, live) - Transcribe using Whisper - Send the full transcript to LLM - Use a custom system prompt to: - Summarize the lecture -…
Turn native language audio into flashcards and shadowing practiceJun 2026 · lingochunk.com · ▲92Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count. Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
