Show HN: A managed platform to make building with LLMs easier
Hey HN!

We built Inferable to tackle some common challenges when putting AI systems into production. It's an open-source platform with a managed control plane to help simplify the development of reliable AI applications.

After working on several LLM-based projects, we kept running into the same issues:

- Workflows crashing and losing state
- No good way to pause execution for human approvals
- Need to build the same boilerplate for human approvals
- Difficulty managing the lifecycle of long-running processes
- Can't get structured output out reliably from every LLM
- Repeated effort building infrastructure for structured outputs

We built Inferable to address these with:

- Persistent workflow state that survives crashes and restarts
- Built-in human-in-the-loop functionality for approvals
- A distributed architecture that separates orchestration from execution
- Standardized methods for extracting structured data from LLMs

Your code runs in your infrastructure while our control plane handles the orchestration. If you're familiar with temporal, think of it as temporal with higher-level LLM-native primitives.

Everything is open-source (MIT license), and self-hosting options are available if you prefer to run it all yourself.

Would appreciate feedback from anyone building AI applications with similar challenges!
I think the problem is that the FBI are infested with these fools.
Ask HN: Does DuckDuckGo share user IPs with Microsoft?
Hi HN,

Today I was using DuckDuckGo website to look for some exhibitions. I typed "Ausstellung" (German word for exhibition) and accidentally pressed Enter. What happened next was interesting. The search result was full of pages related to my city!!!

I don't live in Berlin any other big city. I live in a small city, and the result was all about exhibitions in my city.

As far as I know Bing serves the DuckDuckGo results. And DuckDuckGo privacy policy says that it doesn't share our IPs with Microsoft. If it's true, how could it happen?

To me, it means only one thing: Bing knows my IP or at least my city and country.

Update: it seems that it only happened in desktop version of the website. `t` param should be `fpas` or `ffab`, it seems.

If you live in a German speaking country you can try this:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ausstellung&t=fpas&ia=web

Update 2: I updated the title from "shares location" to "shares users IP" to make it more clear.
Once shareholders are involved it's no longer enough for the company to make enough profit to sustain itself, it now needs to make more profit each year.

There might be a period of growth in the beginning when investment leads to development of new features and refining the platform, and more users join. But eventually it hits a point of maximum market saturation. The product is as feature rich as it can be, the user numbers have reached their limit.

It's at that point that enshittification begins. More ads, the minimum amount of money spent to maintain the system, locking features behind premium subscriptions, prices go up. Just look at youtube, netflix etc. At this point youtube in particular has become unusable, and the content is nothing like the stuff you used to watch on there, it's all long video essays full of sponsors as that's what the company promotes and encourages, but not what people really want to see.
Assuming you are not from Ukraine, how much of your paycheck are you willing to sacrifice for the support for Ukraine, like indefinitely?
It's very, very badly performing. And yet every time I want to start it, it requires another 15 updates.

You mean they were always capable of doing it but choose to fleece USA instead ? Ironically proving trump right.
maybe you're talking about mattermost?
That's exactly the question - how does a free communication app achieve a multi-billion dollar valuation despite not having ads or directly selling user data?

Discord's business model relies on attracting a massive user base to secure substantial investments and potentially a lucrative acquisition. We've seen again and again and again what happens once acquisition takes place.

Also a big existing investor in Discord is Tecent which, under Chinese law, could grant the government access to Discord's extensive user data.

So yeah.. it's not about features it's about freedom.
Honestly, I've had many more game CDs (or DVDs) fail than I've lost access to Steam games. Sure, in the long run, physical storage beats anything, but in the medium term, and for regular users, it's actually very likely to deteriorate quickly.
Sounds like you rediscovered the long held practice of "Rubber Ducking".
The only issue I have with the Pub of Twitter analogy is that the Pub also has 24/7 CCTV recording all conversations not whispered (DMs).

And if someone doesn't like you, they can - free of charge - go through years and years of that CCTV material to find something you said and take it out of context to use it against you.

Case in point: James Gunn. He was on Twitter in its infancy, before it was mainstream, and did some typically edgy humour for an indie horror director that was ok-ish at the time. Then a decade later some right-wing people didn't like him and they dug through his old stuff and blasted it out, resulting him from getting suspended/fired from Disney.

When I was on Twitter I had a 6 month auto delete running on all my tweets just because of that. Me 5 years ago isn't me of today and today me doesn't want to suffer from brain farts 5 years ago me had in public.
My residential ISP does not block it. My issue with work isn’t that they block it on employee WiFi, it’s that they block it on the guest network too. Our nanny software is rather extreme - blocks, for example, alcohol-related sites. Which in a sense is fine, because I don’t need to read up on whiskey at work, but it also often blocks restaurant sites.

This is not about value signaling. It’s a reaction to the fact that US is willing to shutdown US service offerings and hardware owned by counter parties for political arm twisting.

US products are great. But suddenly they look just as risky as Chinese offerings for any critical infrastructure.
I'm not sure if I would call this "simple" but I appreciated the walk through. I understood a lot of it at a high level before reading, and this helped solidify my understanding a bit more. Though it also serves to highlight just how complex LLMs actually are.
But it is not nationalism as the set of common shared values aren't bound to nations. And neither is it protectionism in the traditional meaning of the term. If you don't participate in upholding the value system (or worse actively seeks to destroy it) then you don't get to reap the benefits. I read this "buy European" initiative as a "don't buy American" in light of the current political situation. Withholding trade is an incentive to US voters to fix their system and tap into the benefits once again as a reward.
What is funny (or sad) is that this submission is now flagged.

A list with very interesting tech entries (I had no idea Poland had an actual RAM/storage factory, not just distribution).
It is great to see that they even trained it on open datasets. More AI models need to do this, especially if they market themselves as open.
We don't have conservatives these days, we have right-wing reactionaries.

At least I trust Uber enough that I use it anywhere I don't get to drive my own car. And I have never been in an accident so far.

I don't trust ChatGPT enough to copy its output and be done with my work. Sometimes I spend more time prompting + revising the response than writing it myself from scratch. It's like Uber is so bad that it is faster to walk than getting matched to a driver who very slowly drives to the destination. And yet you get into a car crash during your trip. I doubt Uber would still be in business today.
You absolutely could go bare-metal with emerging local platforms and a Chinese stack — that’s the path Russia (and obviously China itself) is heading down. But...

Equinix? US. Digital Realty? US. NTT? Japan. Interxion? US. CyrusOne? US. That’s your top five DC/colo operators in Europe.

Same story with Tier-1 and Tier-1.5 ISPs.

It’s not just software. It’s not even just hardware. It’s the whole stack — down to power grids, land property rights, and regulatory frameworks.

Nationalization? Multidecade supply chain reconfiguration? Trillions in investment to rebuild local capacity — likely still with deep reliance on China for core infra components.

Europe isn’t just "a bit dependent" — it’s completely entangled.

Ah, yes, the framework from the dominant browser vendor, that happens to eschew everything good about the browser, to achieve marginally-improved typography, by rendering the whole site in a canvas tag. That should certainly be our #1 model for cross-platform development.
Lenovo got bought out years ago and quality gas suffered. Their non-thinkpads are low quality, but also low price. I wouldn't want to do any coding on them.
It would be nice if there was a place (e.g. github repo) that tracked the best resources for learning this stuff.
Nope it's useful.

Those people need to feel some kind of pressure and invasive monitoring. Because they're the ones who vote to allow it or not.
What you should really aim for is companies that can win in the market. "Found European" instead of "Buy European" if you will. Right now might be a good time to try and reverse some of the brain drain into US tech.

OpenSSH >9.0 has algorithms in place for the post-quantum world:

* ssh(1), sshd(8): use the hybrid Streamlined NTRU Prime + x25519 key
exchange method by default ("sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com").
The NTRU algorithm is believed to resist attacks enabled by future
quantum computers and is paired with the X25519 ECDH key exchange
(the previous default) as a backstop against any weaknesses in
NTRU Prime that may be discovered in the future. The combination
ensures that the hybrid exchange offers at least as good security
as the status quo.

My point was that a company, and thus products and employees, do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the government of which it is based.

Besides taking ethical actions, how do you signal that that you share a certain set of political values with your consumers and shareholders, instead of your "somewhat arbitrary" law makers. It is a big shift, and not always an option, to move physical factories, workplaces, etc.
Why not being able to sell what others did is so important?

In my eyes, having a completely novel and reproducible model from end to end, including its dataset is great news.
To be honest, I start to see some advantages to Trump, and that's while seeing him as a horrible human.

Western countries, including US and EU, are on a slow path of decline. The lessons of WW2 about the value of cooperation are forgotten. Trump creates a lot of mini crisisses, but these are as easily resolved as they were made by the next president. As a result, a lot of captains asleep at the wheel are getting a rude wake up. Meanwhile, there is a sanity to go back to.

The EU finally gets serious about defence. Countries start doing thing without asking US permission first.

In the US, the left is still in denial, but they keep getting whacked. They are also under shock and awe from the ongoing Trump legal blitzkrieg. But that won't stay. What's happening now will start a counter reaction, it's just too bizarre and extreme. Once they get themselves organized and fighting, they'll be a huge counterforce. Congress might start working again, and maybe some new amendments will even happen.

I don't think the USA will return to absolute top dog status again, rather I think we end up with a multipolar world. But hardship will teach some much needed lessons.
You know it's way more traditional because they democratically pushed themselves into an oligarchy ;)

Show HN: Open-source RSS reader with LLM-based tags and scoring to filter noise
Hi HN!

For a long time, I'd been looking for a news reader that could filter out noise and surface only stories that really interest me. I couldn’t find one, so I built it myself. That's the way, right? :-D

In my case (over 1000 news/day), it filters out over 80% of news (those that are irrelevant for me), saving me a corresponding amount of time.

Here’s how it works:

- For each news entry, the reader automatically assigns multiple tags.

- You can create scoring rules like `books + sci-fi -> +5 score`, `politics + new-york -> -10 score`.

- News entries are sorted by score, putting the most relevant content on top.

The reader is open-source, self-hosted, and can work without proprietary LLM APIs. You can replace the APIs entry points with your self-hosted OpenAI-compatible API, or fully disable them, or implement custom non-LLM tag processors.

I'd love your feedback, questions, or suggestions!

> postal service is an important part of a nation's social and trust networks

We're not using it for anything, so I'm not really sure how it contributes. Plus PostNord (the Danish postal service) doesn't have the best of reputations, though that is dependent on where in the country you're located.
Worth considering that this is an explicit business decision (not enough iPad users to justify the development effort), versus a technical one. There were various builds with proper iPad layout floating around internally, but no one ever got the management buy-in to polish it enough to ship.
Maybe, but the issue is that it does not seem serious.

If he was serious about restoring industries, then we would have targeted tariffs. Tariffs on coffee is not useful, and is silly.

Similarly a lot of raw commodities, we will not be smelting the amount of aluminum the US needs because we do not have the same low cost power as iceland.

They could have gone slower, and planned things out, but chose not to. And are doing exceptions based on who can talk to trump.

If you are a business that does international business that might be onshored, how confident are you that the tarrifs are here to stay? That you should invest 200 million in American manufacturing, and that government policy will not change in 6 months,or 3 days, or 4 years.

Thats the problem with these tariffs is that they rely on the belief of business that they are here to stay.
For sure, yours wasn't? He has some weird takes on aliens, but I can see how conservatives see him as a good example for their children on topics like social media use, taking care of your body and mind through sports and socials gatherings, based a lot on traditional christian values. I think it is very easy to take what he says out of context and thus find it important to listen to his whole podcast from time to time.

I'm not a christian, in fact I went through a rioting-atheism phase when I was young. But I'm older now, I see the good sides of religion, along with the bad sides, which makes me understand what they desire.

He remarked (in an interview with Adam Curry) that he'd give Harris a fair chance, was interested in her as a person, would, in an interview, try to show the world her best human side. I believe that he would have.

Before they blocked it over here I read Russia Today every now and then (sure I can set proton-vpn to exit in Albania and still read it but I don't really bother anymore). Yes it's propaganda, but the fear of NATO is palpable and reading RT breeds understanding for the people that get fed this news on a daily basis, even though it goes against my own worldviews.

Trying to explain the world-view of this other side usually gets me flagged here, as if I somehow say that that side is better. I don't feel it that way. There are some online communities that welcome this open type of discussion. It is my opinion that is is important to engage in such open discussions
Another option to consider would be TSDProxy.

I guess they must follow the EU laws.

Can you elaborate on how this project is going to impact that? What change do you expect will come about from it?
Please do this in Germany. Good luck.

Exact amount of times it happen doesn't matter as much as the fact that one side tries to pretend it isn't a problem.

That is not what I am suggesting.

And I think you are actually proving my point here.
Language (human) and language (theoretical computer science) are different concepts.
not as childish as 'we won't use your websites but we will use your military to protect ourselves'
Because they are heavily abusing the definition of “open source”. Though that ship has also sailed when it was decided that a model is “open source” when you get the final weights but not the exact training scripts and data
All of this needs context. The software which flashes your Christmas tree lights does not need to be written in Rust. There is a scope in which these arguments are valid, but not universally.

At first I thought you were being brutal but...a GitHub page with a screenshot would be better. The aesthetic of the website is...unique
Agreed - I usually scroll to the bottom of landing pages to see the Github link - which Revolt did not have. Perhaps a suggestion to the developers?

It's an unwritten rule :)
I mean if it wasn't the 21st century, they would be having a snooze or reading a newspaper or magazine probably.

Having a politican 100% committed and listening all the time would be great, but they would quit in no time I'm sure, at least I would.
I'm just providing a counterpoint that non-anonymity of maintainer can also be a downside. with similar caveats.

Let me preface this by saying I use Discord daily to keep in touch with friends. It's a great digital campfire where you can relax with people, talk with them over voice and video or just post random stuff.

The issue is that Discord has replaced things which it shouldn't have, the internet forums. Discord is the epitome of a golden cage. It is a prison for information, a black hole.

I'm not even talking about the absolutely atrocious search functionality, but the fact that information inside the Discord walls is impossible to find from the outside. You can't search across discord communities, none of the content there is indexed by web search engines. Entire communities have FAQs and knowledge as pins inside threads inside Discord servers. Things which used to be on the web.

15 years ago, these discussions would've taken place on forums and on IRC to a lesser extent. IRC itself was a really bad information black hole, but at least the forums were great. They supported long running discussions and were easy to search.

Now everything disappeared into effectively hidden Discord chats and youtube videos where you need to watch 8 different idiots bramble on for 10 minutes before you find the 30 second segment of information that you were actually looking for and could've been a single paragraph.
Maybe they meant people who don't want to be considered traditional...

RegEdit.exe welcomes you with open arms. It even supports multiple endian mixed encoding strings. Clearly it was designed for galactic scale.
they do 10x worse on the general population.

Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives and be monitorised by independent organisation at all times, as they work for the benefit of the public
By this criteria, we can literally never release any new programming languages or frameworks ever again...

If LLMs are going to be as useful as they claim, they have to be smart/flexible enough to adapt to new information.
This seems to be an art installation, but I see no explanation of what it means. Is there subtext that's obvious to someone from Belgium (e.g., politicians on phones is a known hot issue)? Or is the viewer supposed to interpret?

BTW, if the main complaint that you have about your politicians is that they sometimes look at their phones while in meetings, you're doing really well, count your blessings.
