What it does

Kernelbay is a cozy desktop-integrated fishing game designed to quietly coexist with your daily workflow. Instead of taking over your screen, tiny animated islands live directly on your desktop while you work, study, browse, or relax. Fish passively, discover rare creatures, unlock new biomes, enjoy dynamic weather, and customize your ambient desktop world over time. It even includes optional wallpaper integration to make the islands blend naturally into your workspace.

A tiny, cozy idle fishing desktop companion about quiet progress, handcrafted islands, and stories hidden beneath the waves. Discover new species, upgrade your gear, customize your gears and let your fisher work peacefully in the background.

"Kernelbay is a tiny, cozy idle fishing desktop companion for quiet little moments." More than a simple idle game, Kernelbay is a tiny cozy desktop companion built around a relaxing yet layered progression system. Follow your fisher from a humble dock to a chain of mysterious islands scattered across calm, fantastical seas. As the fishing loop unfolds, you’ll unlock new licenses, upgrade your gear, customize your boat, and uncover small surprises along the way. There is no rush . No pressure . Only the sea and the quiet rhythm of progression. Each island holds its own story, told through the unique creatures that inhabit its waters. As you unlock new licenses and discover new species, you…from store.steampowered.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…
