Show HN: Dingo – Automate Data Quality Checks Across Pre-Training and SFT Data
Dingo: A Comprehensive Data Quality Evaluation Tool GitHub: https://github.com/DataEval/dingo
We built Dingo to solve the pain points we encountered managing data quality at scale. While working on multiple ML projects, we found existing tools either focused only on tabular data (like Great Expectations) or required complex setups for text/LLM data.

Ask HN: How do you manage and version control small structured data?
So I work in a heavily regulated field and often come across the need to document all kinds of semi-structured data like requirements, risks, test-cases, etc. Usually these objects need to have a unique ID and relate to each other. They also need to be somehow version controlled.
There are some people using https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop to record this kind of data in a plaintext (YAML) format and store it in git. I think that is really neat for this kind of small scale handcrafted data. But I would like to have a more user friendly frontend for that kind of data manipulation.
It feels like every company has this kind of data somehwere. And for most situations the data is small enough to not warrant a full blown database.
So my question: Do you have any neat workflows and tools for managing small scale semistructured data in a version controlled way?

Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls
Hi HN! I’m Cole Ashman, founder of Pila Energy. I’ve spent my career working on home energy systems—first as an engineer on Tesla’s Powerwall, where I focused on the Backup Gateway, Solar Inverter, and metering systems. More recently, I led Product at SPAN, where we built the Smart Electrical Panel and integrated with most major home solar, EV, and battery systems.
Pila (https://pila.energy/) is a home battery that plugs into a standard wall outlet, provides smart backup power, energy shifting, and grid services. It’s more than a power bank—it’s a distributed energy system that can scale across multiple rooms, entire buildings, and work together in real time as a coordinated system. We built Pila to be local first with an open API to allow developers to build use cases on top of our hardware (Home Assistant, etc).
Big batteries like Tesla Powerwall and Enphase are great if you own a home and can afford a $10K+ electrical project, but they require permanent installation, electricians, and panel upgrades—which makes them inaccessible for renters, apartments, and cost-conscious homeowners. Over 50% of the cost of installing a Powerwall isn’t even the battery itself—it’s soft costs: labor, permitting, etc. We wanted to create an entry point for more people to access energy security at home.
How does it work?
Plug Pila into any 120V wall outlet, and power passes through to connected devices and appliances. The inverter, LFP battery, BMS, grid disconnection, controller, and wireless connectivity are all built in. (details at https://pila.energy/tech-specs)
When an outage happens, the onboard inverter detects the power loss within 20ms and automatically disconnects from the grid (islanding). Whether you’re home or away, backup kicks in instantly. A built-in cellular radio ensures you get a notification even if your home WiFi is out. Pila is 1.6kWh. That will backup a standard fridge for over a day.
One key challenge we faced with a distributed architecture was coordination between batteries, for things like solar-following and managing real-time draw from your utility connection. Unlike large garage systems, where you can run a wired CAN bus, our batteries are spread across the home. We’re solving this with a sub-GHz wireless mesh network—self-healing, coordinator-less, and designed to make setup and expansion as simple as plugging in another unit.
Long-term, we’d love to open up this protocol to provide a more reliable communication layer for energy products in noisy built environments—reducing reliance on consumer Wi-Fi.
We want to deliver the value you’d expect from a whole-home battery like Powerwall, in a plug-in format. That means going beyond a basic lead acid UPS with real home energy management, useful insights about power use, power larger loads like sump pumps, and even deliver grid services.
Most portable batteries are missing the functionality that makes a home battery useful: no bidirectional power, no integration with solar or smart home systems, and no ability to manage home energy dynamically. They tend to be boxy, ruggedized, meant to be moved around, not seamlessly integrated into your living space. On top of that, many use e-mobility battery chemistries, which are great for delivering high power on demand but wear out faster when cycled daily for home energy use.
As a renter myself, I started Pila because these awesome energy products aren’t accessible enough. And frankly, generators are loud, expensive, and a pain to deal with. Even many Powerwall owners I’ve talked to say they really care about keeping the fridge, WiFi, and a sump pump running—so why does energy resilience have to be so complicated and expensive?
As the grid struggles to keep up with demand, we believe modular, renter-friendly batteries can make home energy resilience more accessible.
What's been your experience with home batteries? What recent power outages have you had, and how were you affected?
