what a waste of time
but still struggle when changing the quesion:

  import needle

  @needle.tool
  def add(a: int, b: int):
      "Calculate the sum of two numbers. Use for any arithmetic or math question."
      return a + b

  agent = needle.Needle(tools=[add])
  print(agent.run("what is 5 + 7?")["reasoning"])

>> No calculator or math tool available. Cannot compute numbers.
works better that way, thanks :)
I tested with

  import needle

  @needle.tool
  def add(a: int, b: int):
      "Add two numbers."
      return a + b

  agent = needle.Needle(tools=[add])
  print(agent.run("calculate 1 + 1?")["reasoning"])

python main.py No calculator or math tool available.

conclusion: completly useless

Too over engineered, few text paragraphs would suffice to understand the topic.

Re:Fusion Programming Language on Saturday June 27, 2026 @05:40AM (#48696689)
Now we need an UnFusion programming language that can take code written in any language and convert it into Fusion. With that, you could transform any project from language A into language B.

Re:Discover what your comments reveal about you? on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @01:47PM (#48573962)
Good catch, not intentional, that's a bug. The sampler picks indices evenly spaced across the account's whole comment history, but it walks newest-to-oldest and bails out as soon as it fills a 90k-char budget. For any reasonably active account, that budget gets used up before the walk reaches old comments, so the model ends up looking almost entirely at recent activity even though the code intends an even sample across time.

I made a tool that profiles you using nothing but your HN comments. You've been telling Hacker News everything about yourself for years without realizing it. This tool just reads it back to you. You're welcome, and I'm sorry it's going to ruin your evening.https://hn-panopticon.online/

I was not impressed by fable 5, still prefer sonnet 4.6 for most tasks
my prediction is that sooner or later kagi will be bought by google or microsoft

Re:Layoffs at Block on Friday February 27, 2026 @03:28AM (#47178057)
I had never heard of Block before, but I visited their website and downloaded one of their open-source projects, Goose (an OpenCode alternative). I ran a very simple prompt on one of the projects I’m working on to implement a small feature. It ended up going into what seemed like an infinite loop and consumed three-quarters of my monthly Poe subscription on a single prompt. I uninstalled it immediately.
