Turbo Pascal looks can be translated to Turbo Vision, the name of the UI framework used in Borland’s ’90s Turbo IDEs, which is in the public domain.

Exactly that, same basic functionality as a Wacom, active digitizer stylus.

Thanks, I’ll check it out

My favourite project to run these old games was Boxer (1). Based on dosbox, it creates a runnable self contained disk (app) for each game or set of games / software. It is pretty neat, but I am not sure if it has been maintained recently.

That is great battery life! I also wanted to try Linux, but I think I’ll lose the wacom feature. I also use it as a thin client for my Linux machines, and jointly with my Mac means I have access to all platforms.

Surface has seen so many iterations, some terrible, some nice. Still rocking the discontinued surface laptop studio as Wacom on the go, smallish footprint (14”) creative development machine. I just love its quirkiness and the fact that I can jump on photoshop to touch up an image, use it as tablet for movies, or vs code for (not great nowadays) 6h on battery. It is an odd intersection.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Cuda support added. Also see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47562135#47635952

TQ4_1S on model weights with minimal quality loss is really great. The MR discussion thread with results is specially interesting, with some models much more impacted than others in PPL increase, possibly size and model architecture play a part. Are there consolidated learnings from all the experiments? Thanks for this!

I hope /Buddy is ported across to OpenCode.

This is basically what antigravity (Google’s Windsurf) ships with. Having more options to add this functionality to Open code / Claude code for local models is really awesome. MIT license too!

All in all I think these projects are really great for communities that are unable to get online. There are some nice Linux education distros that would go together well.

Nicely linked!

From the homepage looks like it: “Training: Works on NVIDIA GPUs: RTX 30, 40, 50, Blackwell, DGX Spark/Station etc.”

This is really cool, educative and very well written.

You should be able to push to history using history.pushState(…) after loading a new page. There are probably more details needed around popState to handle back and forward navigation. I’m sure Claude will be able to assist here, but maybe too much complexity when other similar libraries may also manage history state.

14-billion parameter model with 4-bit quantization seems rather small

This is mind-blowing, and it defies all security common sense. Changing global API keys permissions? Come on! We’re accustomed to seeing issues like this from Redmond but didn’t expect it from Google.

This seems like a great model to experiment fine tuning with original art, given it’s relatively small and with open license. Is that a fair assessment?

Thanks for the great write up and making it available to us all.
