I just watched all the other videos of their pieces, and all of them are absolutely amazing conceptual explorations of our relationship with technology. Really amazing stuff

The bit in the phone project where he cuts out the poem authors intro seems a bit scummy though, all that work he's making uncredited... then he finishes the video by showing him signing the piece. I guess it's a good commentary on how tech people value other peoples work.

I wasn't surprised by that, I studied in one of the best schools in France and that attitude was prevalent amongst students.

Cool project. Here's some OT: where do people learn to make these videos? Fast paced but calm narration with chill music and sped up action mixed with regular speed. It's a matter of consuming a lot of this content until the form clicks, or you need to go to influ-school?

Yo. You have to make videos. Then, seeing videos that you like, you secretly try to “steal” those ideas you articulated. Just don’t tell anybody you’re a copy-cat.

Creator here, thanks for posting. And feel free to ask me anything!

Love your channel! Do you have any plans to eventually open source your projects? (Both in terms of hardware and software)

To be honest, all of the hardware and software is really poorly documented. But I guess i coudl still publish it as is

I'm personally especially interested in 'Latent Reflection'. I've tried to make something similar never got to a point where I was happy with the output the AI model gave me.

Lots of tuning to get the model to not immediatly spiral into nonsense. But small models are getting better by the minute, maybe i'll revisit it with a better model and share all the code

Do you have a list you would be willing to share of trusted manufacturers & suppliers that you reference for different products or materials?

I used JLCPCB for the pcb cause they integrate well with the pcb design software i use (kicad or easypcb)

And I used pcbway for the sheet metal fabrication

Honestly they are both great and similarly priced

No influencer school, no video experience whatsoever actually

I watched TONs of youtube videos growing up and I guess I took inspiration from what I liked in each: fast pace, always shows what you are talking about on screen (no talking head), include tiny projects in the main one, explain the science, use an intro to captivate and an outro to nail the point, use music to drive rythme

I film and record audio with just my phone

What an excellent video.

Depsite visiting Hackernews multiple times a day, I am not a tech person. Seeing people creating such thing in a way I can undestand (which is maybe...10-15 % of the posts here ?) is so refreshing !

The editing is sharp, the setup looks so cool and the channel !

Thank you for making this !

amazing project ! well done ! inspiring to see it this morning the youtube algo recommended it for me. I was thinking what would be a budget way of creating this ? maybe a $20 SDR instead of the hack rf , seems to be a waste of the hack rf to use it as a lamp :)) I think the way you did must have cost you over $1k. Thanks for the inspiration !

IIRC, a regular SDR dongle will not be able to process the full bandwidth of GHZ range.
