    Wordsweeper – A word guessing game based on levenshtein distance2024 · wordsweeper.fun · ▲5

    Hey HN, I’ve been trying to spend more time working on small fun projects and wanted to share with you a fun word guessing game I made inspired by Wordle and Minesweeper. Here’s how it works: You guess a 5 letter word, and get back a score representing the “distance” between your guess and the correct word. The lower the score, the closer you are to the correct word.

Scores for each guess are tallied…

I thought you guys might enjoy it.

    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…
