Show HN: Kdts, an optimization-first TypeScript compiler
kdts is an optimization-first TypeScript compiler. Instead of erasing types as early as possible, it uses them throughout the compilation to direct optimizations, achieving transformations that would not have been possible were the types not known.Currently it is Bun-only. You can install it withbun add -g @kimlikdao/kdtsIt has two modes: fast and opt.- fast mode is a thin wrapper around bun build but supports the same command line arguments as opt mode.- opt mode uses (a fork of) Google Cl
Show HN: I blind-tested 14 LLMs on a WP plugin task. Surprising Findings
Recently, GitHub Copilot silently dropped support for Claude Opus on Pro accounts. Since Opus was my go-to model for my daily workflow (developing WordPress plugins), I needed a reliable replacement.I decided to run a rigorous, blind benchmark across 14 state-of-the-art and local LLMs to objectively measure which model understands WordPress development best. To ensure a perfectly fair test, I started with a completely fresh IDE and zero context for every single generation.I asked each model to b
Show HN: 12ui – Image to Code
An image is worth a few lines of code ;)I have been trying to get something like this working in one form or another for close to a year. The latest image models finally make it possible.It's still early, but I'm really interested in this approach to AI UI - using image models before coding models for front end development. The challenges are;
1 - How do we get image models to generate decent UI
2 - How do we convert those images into code
But I think I've got something which tack
The Consensus Algorithm
We say systems are “distributed”, but rarely ask how they stay consistent. What happens when nodes disagree, fail, or lag behind?<p>This post breaks down consensus using Raft into a simple mental model.

Ask HN: Would you use revocable digital signatures to verify AI/Other content?
I’ve been exploring a potential product direction and wanted to sanity check it with people who actually build and ship things.Background: I’ve been working on a system using our core tech that can generate and verify digital signatures, but with a slightly different property than traditional approaches. The signatures are natively revocable. If the underlying model/system shouldn’t be trusted anymore, the signatures can be revoked either through a hard (delete the signing model) or soft (r
Need advice: Back end engineer → infrastructure: how do you make the transition?
I’ve been a backend-heavy engineer for about 4 to 5 years, mostly in startups. For about 3 months I’ve been reading and building small things, but I’m not sure if I’m progressing or just spinning. I also don’t really have people around me in these areas, so I’ve mostly been trying to figure this out on my own, including using tools like GPT and Claude, but I still feel unclear.My work includes APIs, some real-time systems like WebRTC and streaming, and debugging production issues such as latency
Modernizing Industrial Safety and Inspection with AI-Driven Drone Automation
In large-scale manufacturing and infrastructure environments, maintaining structural integrity is a continuous operational challenge. Industrial facilities—from automotive plants to energy and infrastructure sites—depend on thousands of structural connection points such as bolts and fasteners to ensure safe and reliable operations. Over time, vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress can cause these components to loosen or degrade.While drones have dramatically improved how inspection da

Designing a Medallion Framework — A Decision Guide
Everyone draws the same picture: Bronze → Silver → Gold. Three boxes, three arrows. Done.What that picture hides is the dozen design decisions you have to make inside each box — and the ones you make at the boundaries between them. Get those right and onboarding the 200th table feels like onboarding the 2nd. Get them wrong and you’ll be rewriting the framework in 18 months.This post is a generic walkthrough of how to think about a medallion framework on Databricks (or any other platfor

The Durable Sessions stack is forming
By Matt O'Riordan, CEO and Co-FounderAcross AI infrastructure right now, one word is doing a lot of work: durable. It is attached to execution. To agents. To workflows. To sessions. To streams. To transports. To memory. Every few weeks, another product ships with "durable" in the name.This is not branding noise. The underlying observation is the same in every case. AI systems are long-lived. They can fail at any layer. They need infrastructure that assumes failure rather than hopes against it. D
When RAG Isn’t Enough: Moving from Retrieval to Relationship-Aware Systems in Enterprise AI:
The ProblemIn an enterprise AI scenario, the goal was to map structured feature data to relevant sections within large technical documents.At a glance, this appears to be a straightforward semantic matching problem. Initial results using semantic search were promising. However, as the system was used more extensively, certain issues became apparent:Inconsistent mappings across similar inputsOccasional matches to contextually unrelated sectionsVariability in results across repeated runsDespite mu
Centralizing Enterprise API Access for Agent-Based Architectures
Problem StatementWhen building AI agents or automation solutions, calling enterprise APIs directly often means configuring individual HTTP actions within each agent for every API. While this works for simple scenarios, it quickly becomes repetitive and difficult to manage as complexity grows.The challenge becomes more pronounced when a single business domain exposes multiple APIs, or when the same APIs are consumed by multiple agents. This leads to duplicated configurations, higher maintenance e
Automatic SSO Takeover in Azure AD B2C Custom Policies
Why This MattersAs organizations modernize authentication, many shift toward Single Sign-On (SSO) using providers like Microsoft EntraID.But if you already have users in Azure AD B2C using local accounts (email + password), the transition isn’t straightforward.You’ll run into:Duplicate identities when users sign in with SSO using the same emailNo clean migration path for existing usersSecurity gaps if password sign-in remains available after SSOConfusing UX if password reset still allowed for SS
Enabling Agentic Data Governance with Hybrid Cloud Flexibility in Azure
The “Why”Do you manage data in a complex multi-cloud environment? Are you struggling with data silos, evolving regulations, and the pressure to maintain control and compliance across on-prem and multiple clouds? Do you ever wish an intelligent assistant could help shoulder the load of data governance? If so, I can relate. Let me tell you a story that might sound familiar.Meet Mark (pictured above). He is a data governance officer at Contoso (a fictional but very representative enterprise).  
Modernizing KYC with AWS serverless solutions and agentic AI for financial services
Regulators worldwide require financial institutions to implement Know Your Customer (KYC) processes that help prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and identity theft. KYC has evolved from a compliance checkbox to a core security function for financial institutions. Financial institutions must modernize their KYC architectures because of several factors: rising transaction volumes, increasing regulatory complexity, and customer demands for instant onboarding. Legacy systems creat
