Show HN: Pinocchio: Harness for Verifiable Work

Hacker News - Sun, 09/13/2026 - 3:12pm

Hey HN, we've been trying to solve LLM Hallucinations. So we built Pinocchio.

Pinocchio is a research preview for AI outputs with provenance and verification built in.

Give it a task and source material. For numerics, the values used in the computation are carried directly from the source rather than regenerated by the model across reasoning steps. Pinocchio records the computations and derivations applied to them, and a deterministic verifier can replay and check the resulting computation.

The output retains a connection to: • the exact source inputs used • the operations performed on them • the intermediate and final results they produced • the checks those results passed

Every output points back to its sources. You can trace it backwards through its derivation and sources.

Really looking forward to what you guys think about this.

P.S. we're limiting to one run at a time. Other than there are no other restrictions. It does take a while though, so I'd let it be and check back in a while.

Ask HN: One month, zero paying customers – keep it or kill it?

Hacker News - Sun, 09/13/2026 - 2:42pm

When I created the site scanmypage.com, I genuinely believed that many business owners would use it — especially because of the price: just $1 for a website analysis.

Analytics — Google Search Console — Still struggling to gain good visibility on Google.

I then started paying for Google Ads — Built and optimized what I believe is a solid campaign —

But now a month has passed, and the site still hasn’t generated a single paying customer.

So my question is: What would you do?

Would you keep the site alive and continue improving and marketing it, or would you kill it, accept that the idea isn’t gaining traction, and move on to the next project?

Keep it or kill it?
