OpenMacScreenShade

What it does

OpenMacShade is a tiny macOS menu bar app that makes your screen appear darker using only a click-through black overlay. Unlike feature-heavy display tools, it does not use hardware brightness control, DDC/CI, gamma changes, private APIs, permissions, telemetry, or network access. It is open source and intentionally simple: one slider, one overlay, nothing else.

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
