What it does
Ever wanted to slap your MacBook and have it scream back? SlapDash is a tiny Mac menu bar app that detects when you slap your laptop (via the built-in accelerometer) and plays a random scream. That's the whole app. Built for the moments when Slack pings won't stop, your code won't compile, or you just need to be heard. Adjustable sensitivity, custom cooldowns, bring your own sound packs. macOS 14.6+, M1 Pro or later. Free forever. Source code available if you want to peek under the hood.
Featured on 500+ US radio stations . Viral on Instagram, TikTok, and X. Millions of impressions. Thousands of slappers. "i bought it. i slapped it. it screamed. perfect 5/7 app, no notes." "We slapped the laptop on air for ten minutes straight. Phones lit up. Sales department called me." "This $10 app uses 5 algorithms to detect when you slap your laptop. It's stupid. We can't stop." "my coworkers haven't said a word to me since i installed SlapDash. coincidence? probably not." "Cursed in the most delightful way. Founders, take notes — this is how you ship something people share." "day 14 of slapping my m1 max every time my pull request fails. it has become a coping mechanism."

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…
