Stumbleback – StumbleUpon for the bookmarks you've been hoarding
Hi HN, I have about 2000+ bookmarks that I will never read. Probably you do too. I keep collecting new stuff to read, the list grows longer each day, but I barely get around to reading them, and the problem, as I realised, is more to do with the analysis paralysis on what to read. Sort of like how we spend so much time figuring out what movie to watch on Netflix. So I made a simple Chrome extension: it picks one bookmark at random, drops you on the page, and gives you two buttons on a floating toolbar - Stumble (next random one) or Done (mark read and move to the next random one). That's it.…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I have about 2000+ bookmarks that I will never read. Probably you do too. I keep collecting new stuff to read, the list grows longer each day, but I barely get around to reading them, and the problem, as I realised, is more to do with the analysis paralysis on what to read. Sort of like how we spend so much time figuring out what movie to watch on Netflix. So I made a simple Chrome extension: it picks one bookmark at random, drops you on the page, and gives you two buttons on a floating toolbar - Stumble (next random one) or Done (mark read and move to the next random one). That's it. It takes away the burden of decision altogether, and it's sort of fun to engage with because of the variability (and novelty) of what it loads next, while still being within the universe of things I've been wanting to get to. Also, I've added daily goal and streaks to keep me motivated to get through the list and turn it into a daily habit. You can simply Right-click -> Add to Stumbleback for new saves, otherwise it just reads your existing Chrome bookmarks, or you can paste URLs as well, no separate database. It's free. Would love feedback from anyone who's tried to get through their reading list of things and failed.

- ANA new(?) approach for your bookmarks2021 · ▲15
Hey HN community, there are a couple of websites I visit on a daily basis. I type the first two oder three characters of the url and the autocomplete feature of my browser does the rest. That is also how I procrastinate. It happens that i visit the same website over and over again without that there is really new content on that site. Or on the other side it happens that I forget to visit a certain site for some days. To address all this I build the following website: https://everyday-favs.com The idea is: you have one personal link (1) and define a list of websites and how often…

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…
