What it does
IRON a.k.a. Intermediate Representation Object Notation is a Interpreter/Database that is used to create Programming Languages. It can compile source code into IR at 6.3 million lines of code per second. IRON is entirely written in assembly, It is currently only compatible with Linux on 86-64 CPUs. Porting to MacOS and Windows is not a challenge and will be done in the near future, Although ARM CPU's and such will have to wait. It takes roughly 1,569,451 nano seconds to convert 10,000 lines of source code into IR. Intermediate Representation, is essentially a lower level form of code. If a compiler converts your code into assembly before compiling it into machine code, then Assembly would…from github.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

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…
