What it does

Rekordbox does three things in software that never survive the trip to a CDJ. Bake'n Deck is a free, open-source CLI that bakes each one into the files themselves. Rekordbox prep doesn't fully reach the booth. Three software-only conveniences get left behind on the way to the CDJ. Rekordbox's Auto Gain feature analyzes your tracks and calculates gain adjustments to normalize loudness. It works great with controllers. But when you export to USB for CDJs, Auto Gain values are ignored. Harmonic mixing wants a playlist sorted by Camelot Key, then by BPM within each key group. Rekordbox's UI has never offered compound sort: its Sort by Key view is single-column, so BPMs scatter inside each key…from headroom.ravers.workers.dev

  • 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…
