MiniGauge

Minimalist Menu Bar Monitor

What it does

MiniGauge is a beautifully crafted system monitor designed exclusively for the macOS menu bar. Operating like a precision micro-gauge, it sits quietly in your menu bar, keeping you informed of your Mac’s vitals at a single glance. We understand that menu bar real estate is premium. That’s why MiniGauge rejects clutter. With a highly restrained design philosophy, it tracks CPU, Memory, and Network speeds in real-time—without ever interrupting your workflow.

    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…
