What it does

Free Chrome extension that intercepts "Add to Cart" buttons. When you click, a popup asks: "Do you really want this?" Choose to continue, save for later, or leave. Enable extra friction with Box Breathing or Math Mode to slow yourself down even more. Works on all shopping sites. No account. 100% private.

Buy Blocker is a browser extension that helps you stop impulse shopping, avoid overspending, and save money by blocking online stores when you need a break.

A simple Chrome extension that gives you a moment to think before every purchase. Because the best way to save money is to not spend it in the first place. Tired of that guilty feeling after an impulse buy? We did too. Join our mission! Every time you click "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart," Buy Blocker makes you think twice before you continue shopping. Make your buy an intentional one! Save your product for 3 days, a week, or a month! Still buying? Revisit in one click. Paying bills or groceries? Add trusted sites to your whitelist and Buy Blocker won't interrupt. Or switch the extension on/off in a click! Solve a quick math question before you can continue to checkout. Enough friction to break…from buy-blocker.com

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
