Daily training against AI-induced cognitive atrophy

What it does
ErgoSum is the only brain training program specifically designed to combat AI-induced cognitive atrophy. People who use AI heavily at work are becoming faster and simultaneously less capable of independent thinking. The cognitive abilities they delegate, estimation, analysis, logical reasoning, critical reading, probabilistic judgment, weaken from disuse. Muscles you don't use get weaker. ErgoSums trains them back.
Daily exercises for a mind that thinks for itself. Fermi estimation, logic, patterns, misleading charts — 4 exercises a day, 2 minutes each.

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…
