France24 updated with the message. Obviously the web page is up, the video live stream is down.

Live stream unavailable Due to a technical issue, the live stream is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are doing everything we can to restore it as soon as possible.


France24 YouTube stream also seems to be unavailable, but haven’t seen any details or comms in their official media channels.

Google is listening (reading) HN and (re)launched Antigravity IDE with the ability to import settings from VSCode or existing Antigravity installation. Working great.

I had exactly the same experience, and thought what a way to kill an IDE. Not sure what their strategy is, but people were already fleeing back to vscode or zed. This seems like the final nail in the coffin.

Their hardware evolved well and their K series keybeds are really solid. Once you install the Komplete software with all the synths and samples it is a lot of fun, if not only by the sheer amount and diversity. Although when you have access to software like Garage Band for free you kinda wonder. I wish they were a bit more open though, we’ll see what happens now.


This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a (mostly) 3d printable Cara mini, but I’ll start with Cara.


The layout is doable with hobby servos, but you'd need to patch in current sensing for that bit of the feedback. It's not terribly difficult conceptually but it's an extra complication that most servo power distribution boards don't give you.

You can also strap a capstan to the servo axle, if that's your thing. I've prototyped that myself in the past. You can go surprisingly far with an FDM printer, an SG90, and some dyneema bowstring. One thing I haven't tried is modding one for continuout rotation to get around the way the capstan drive limits the output angle you can achieve - I was happy reducing from ~180deg to ~45deg for what I was doing - but that's relatively well-trodden ground. Might pull that project out of the storage box it's languishing in at some point.


> The layout is doable with hobby servos

Mostly we're past that. Robotics with hobby servos sucks. Been there, done that, robot arm is in electronics recycling bin right now.


I agree it's not great but for scale and convenience it's good. If this was going to just get scaled down, what motors would you pick?


I have used Macs since the Classic era. My best Mac was a PowerBook G4 that could run Windows on a VM faster than most Windows machines at the time. My first MacBook was brilliant, but I have noticed a decline since then. My 6-year-old MacBook Pro really struggles nowadays, whereas I remember a time when people proudly said their 10-year-old Macs were still snappy even during rosetta. Currently, Linux is the preferred choice for work. Windows 11 Enterprise is not bad when stripped of all social, news, and 360 ads overhead, but Microsoft is really trying hard to mess it up there too.

Edit: 6 years old, not 4, and also Intel Macbook, so due an upgrade for sure


Your M2 MacBook Pro really struggles? That is genuinely crazy, given that I use one as a daily driver and it feels just as fast as the day I bought it.

I think the Apple Silicon transition has increased Mac longevity far beyond the Intel or PowerPC eras, and I am quite baffled you think otherwise.


You’re right, it’s 6 year old, so a dinosaur by technology standards! I see your point.


Is it an Intel MacBook? I think those sucked for obvious reasons outside Apple’s control (Intel getting stuck at 14nm for ages) which they’ve already fixed (by abandoning Intel).

The M1 MacBook Air was more powerful than the top Intel i9 MBP config if I recall correctly.


This brings back some memories. I often recorded live gigs from the radio. It was the best way to discover new bands and share them with friends at parties. The Internet Archive keeps on giving, what a great project.


This is so impressive, love it!

A bit of feedback: Clicking exit cockpit goes back to the previous page (in this case this HN thread).

Not sure if just me, but I really had to search hard for the actions under menu and the cockpit button.


Double-clicking on an airplane should send you to the cockpit view imo.


You lucky, on Firefox mobile it does nothing.I can only see the one random flight, in this case already on the ground


Indeed, thanks for pointing this out and the links. With the excitement I misread that it was an MR from the fork to the main project. I don’t think I’m able to fix the title though.

I find it quite exciting to read some results in an effort to understand if TurboQuant main ideas can be applied to model weights. There are other similar projects, so we’ll see, but it seems some of this fork results look promising.
