FlashBack

Automated A/V flashcards for faster language learning

What it does

Most flashcards are just boring text. FlashBack changes the game by automatically generating GIFs and audio for every word you add. Using a high-performance interface and a Spaced Repetition (SRS) algorithm, it helps you build a strong visual memory without the manual effort of creating cards. Create your own lists or use pre-made ones. Perfect for language learners and students who need an efficient, media-rich study experience.

    Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

    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…
