I work for FusionAuth and we have some comparisons on our website, but I haven't built an application with each of these.

I'd say that dimensions that matter vary so widely for each person and use case, it'd be hard to do a great comparison.

Dimensions that matter:

* open source or not
* standalone application or library/framework you integrate
* self hosted or SaaS
* authentication, authorization, user management or all three?
* standards implementation
* integrations with other auth tech (LDAP)
* which OAuth grants they support
* documentation and developer experience

And that doesn't get into specific features that you might need. An example: if you want to modify a user object in the middle of a login flow, Auth0 has rules, we have Lambdas, Keycloak has plugins. How are you going to know what features you need without building out at least a sample app?

Oh, and pricing! Lots of the smaller operations (us included) have transparent pricing, but Okta/Auth0 don't.

I wrote out a list of 13 different use cases for FusionAuth ( https://github.com/fusionauth/fusionauth-issues/issues/1002 ) and I am still discovering new ways this coiuld be used. I'm sure that is the case with all these competitors.

It's the old elephant story: https://www.peacecorps.gov/educators/resources/story-blind-m...
Perhaps it could click a random one (plus or minus one) at lower time intervals? That would be much harder to detect and filter out. I mean: it's not such a big deal to filter out quick strings of ad clicks.

Ah, I see that's an option already. Interesting.
I was so hyped when this game came out; I remember waiting 5-10 minutes for each mission to start on my computer at the time (a 486 dx2? Or a Pentium? Hard to remember). Clearing space to play it was a pain too.

I missed some of the wc2 gameplay and was not a fan of how the story kept resetting the progress from the previous games ("humanity suddenly comes to an agreement and dismantles its full fleet", "ragtag peripheral colonies are the only ones who understood the enemy" etc...). The way Hobbes' character was retconned wasn't great - especially since they left out his final message (seriously wtf?)

I still loved the game, enough so that I remembered all of that from years ago.
> talk about things like “autopilot” instead of “driver assist”

I actually find driver assist technologies almost as damaging. For example, lane assist (car centers itself in lane) can cause the car to veer when lanes are mis-painted. After having it turned on for a few minutes without issues, you begin to relax, then the car decides to take an off-ramp or swerve towards the shoulder.

As a comparative example, let's look at automatic gear boxes vs manual. As far as I know, there are no auto gear boxes that will occasionally require you to hit the clutch in order to successfully change gears. Their either completely auto, completely manual, or auto with manual override. Having something halfway between automatic and manual is just ASKING for problems; that being said, an auto gearbox that is expected to work only 99% of the time also really doesn't exist, which is why self driving is hard.

I'd much rather better alerting and imminent danger capabilities; more ubiquitous and accurate blind spot sensors, lane change cameras, brake alarms (or even auto-braking, if it's high reliability). These technologies will allow the overall self-driving landscape to improve (because there's so much overlap; self-driving NEEDS all of these sensing techs, and needs them to be REALLY good in order to work) and mature over time, while road infrastructure, mapping, legislature, and public opinion catch up.
"You need to enable JavaScript to view this site." Very bad.
Privateer was a lot of fun. I remember playing it and the sequel. I'd be interested to see more behind-the-scenes of Privateer 2. It also had FMV and (from what I recall) had this sort of campy sci-fi TV movie feel. Great game, although I'm hesitant to look at it without the lens of nostalgia.
Ask HN: What's the Harm of Targeted Ads?
I work in advertising and I'm looking for a discussion here.

Besides encouraging people to buy things you might think they don't need, what's an actual harm people experience from targeted ads as opposed to non targeted ads?
The intersection is also interesting when you look at equational proofs in Mathematica.

Just as movie pirates are also the sort of people who spend a lot of money on movies, I would bet (with no proof of any kind) that the kind of person who pirates books is also the kind of person that buys a lot of books. My library has an ebook section, but they make it extremely difficult to actually work with the ebooks because of all the DRM, so Ive started browsing their catalog, and then using libgen to get the actual book since it lets me actually read the darn thing. I also have filled every wall in my house with floor to ceiling book shelves, I really dont think any authors losing money on my book piracy.
Other countries should simply reciprocate.

All visitors from countries which test the anus for coronavirus must be subjected to anal coronovirus tests.

When Chinese visitors to other countries get the test, they can complain to their government.
eBay has no problem facilitating the sale of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", or "Mein Kampf", or "laddie magazines", or cartoons of Muhammad, or any of a variety of other things that "denigrate people". So let's not pretend like this is a principled stand of some sort by eBay.

Leaving aside the question of whether the books in question actually denigrate people, what makes this case so special that eBay takes action? eBay is losing money by not allowing sales of the books; presumably they either feel like they would lose even more money if they did allow it or feel that the books are morally repugnant enough to be worth the loss. Any other options?

The second option does not seem to hold water given all the other things eBay allows. The first option leaves the question of why they would lose money. Digging into that is where you find the power structure you are refusing to see.
Buying a successful competitor is not "outdoing" the competitor, it's almost admitting defeat.

While you could say there are other offerings, are they as mature? A big shark swimming in a sea of minnows is not a balanced/competitive market.
I think that's often true, but it's not true by definition. For example, if a large company in industry X buys a small company in industry Y as a way of entering a market, competition can go up in industry Y as the small company now has increased capacity to compete with the bigger players.
As indicated by another commenter I found the product messaging/pricing really confusing. There's "Cloud", "Editions", "Reactor" with little way to see how the relate and it's not immediately obvious there is a self hosted version. This turned me off as I just saw $75/month for a development/test version (which isn't really the case).

After diving in deeper the pricing calculator really cleared things up, but I think the menu structure and front page messaging could be vastly improved to help guide the user.
Correct. Given the regular language I specified, each rational has an infinite number of matching strings: 1.0 = 1.00 = 1.000 = 0.9_99 = 1.0_0 etc. The point is that for every rational number you can think of, I can show you at least one string in my regular language to represent that number.

According to the finitists, this is a defining feature of a "number". Since the same can't be done for irrational numbers finitists conclude that irrational "numbers" aren't numbers. You probably agree that all numbers are (or can be represented by) symbols, but that not all symbols are numbers. So how do we distinguish symbols from numbers?

This is all discussed in the paper. The answer is that liberals are more likely to show surprise, less likely to show disgust and faced the camera directly. Much less suggestive was the wearing of beards and glasses where were very nearly in the noise.
What does "scrapped illegally" mean?

I've never encountered this term. I can see how scrapping might be a violation of some websites terms of use, but I've never seen "scrapped illegally" used. Do you have any examples?
Yes, I'm asking you to repeat it because what you're saying is absolutely insane and completely detached from the rest of the world. You might check the definition other people around you are using, I'll even give you a handy link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
Thank you for answering my question! I wasn't aware that Apple had a credit card.
We already do it, at least subconsciously. We’ve also developed a side of society who actively tries to counter it, by actively seeking out-of-the-normative profiles: The skater look in companies is now a thing that helps you get sympathy, being female opens up sone avenues, Atlassian’s CEO wearing a mohawk or Jack Dorsey’s looks are all symbols of a society which started searching for non-normative people.

Perhaps we’ll require AI to do the same. Otherwise AI will be an excuse to be racist, saying “It’s the stats!”.
> Any modern discrete GPU will blow away any M1 laptop for training.

Counter example: none of the AMD consumer GPUs can be used for training. So no, not any modern discrete GPU blows away the M1.

The M1 might not be a great GPGPU system, but it is much better than many systems with discrete GPUs.

Linux players, in my experience, are more used to having their problems be ignored and have stronger feelings that they are part of a community and thus are more forthcoming with potential fixes and/or testing of things for other users that are also running linux, so they too help with troubleshooting and workarounds. I feel your pain about the situation you ran into with the Switch.

I agree. The only way that I wouldn't mind is if the employer incentivized wearing one for the sake of detecting sickness early(which some claim is possible with Oura), and if the employer wasn't tracking the Oura ring at all. The employer otherwise has no business tracking my biometrics in and out of the workplace.

I think your giving too much credit to humans, and ignoring the fact that most people would lose a lot of point due to a bias towards expectation that people who are attractive or look well off or happy would share their own political beliefs.
This is a timely comment as I struggle with understanding why I don't want to hustle, why I can't just relax in spite of having a tremendously interesting and well-paying job.

I've had an ongoing internal conflict because I am doing projects for the sheer fun of it with no predetermined outcome, but I feel like I should be #growthhackering instead. I hustled for years, and now I don't need to. I should just let myself be a dilettante. Thank you.
division, yes, but multiplication is faster, but it's not huge. The limiting factor for multiplication is that it's O(N^2) in multiplied digits; so a 32-bit fixed point has 32x32 and IEEE fp32 multiplication has 23x23.
> Expectation: multiplying a positive by a negative should give me a negative number.

What is your definition of "negative number"? There is one in Lisp: the minusp function.

What does that say?

-0.0 is not a negative number, but a redundant representation of zero possible in a sign-magnitude system.

Though, these seems a bit odd; how many people are expressing _disgust_ in dating profiles?
Still, it’s some kind of weighted average, right? Like that 3.5% drop seems to say more about the test data used than the model performance per se.
> A good old pillory in the town square

You mean like Twitter?
What was the average difference in accuracy?

It's a fair tradeoff especially for a crawler where it's never guaranteed to reach all documents anyway.
It seems like you could say the same about the risks of Ethereum 2.0, which will fully launch after Avalanche.
Apart from the 55% human accuracy, which apparently comes from a completely unrelated study, the bit that really stands out to me is it reports the accuracy only drops from 72% to 68% when controlling for demographic accuracy in the US (a little more noticeable in the UK). Considering demographics alone gets you 60-90% accuracy on voting intention for many US demographics, it strikes me as extremely odd it would have have so little
impact on the model.
Did Musk dump a bunch of Doge on people? I think that's the big difference.
Truth doesn't really care about your sensibilities. It seems there is actually an art to finding the mind's construction in the face!

What this is really telling us is that we should not be judging others on their political, sexual, ideological, whatever-ical affiliations. A person is a person and we should value them for that and only that. These other qualities may be more or less useful in some sense, but not in the sense that counts - that they are a thinking feeling person who deserves our respect.
I found it in a round about way too, could use some better publicity maybe. You can also use this to enable side-by-side 3D in VR, so like the old Nvidia 3D shutter glasses that made games pop out of a flat screen, you can see that in your virtual screen in VR. Take a look at SteamTinkerLaunch [0] to set that up (currently helping organize that giant readme, but the info is all there to play around with [1]).

Edit: I should say side-by-side mode works for games with it builtin (like Trine) but can also use shader injection to emulate this which can work pretty well too.
I'm in the same boat. Part of it is the medium has so much choice now, and the other part is that we're adults with both more money and less time to spend on things.

I remember playing a handful of NES games countless times, and being able to beat several of them in a single sitting.

I think some people manage to hold onto that (see speedrunners and/or world-class players of this or that game), but you'd have to be very intentional about it.

ROCm isn’t a USP of the Linux platform it’s vendor locked.

It provides no competitive advantage to Linux, not to mention that that entire concept is a bitty laughable as far as FOSS/OS goes.

I don’t understand why AMD seems adamant at not wanting to be a player in the GPU compute market.

Close to Metal was aborted.

OpenCL was abandoned.

HSA never got off the ground.

ROCm made every technical decision possible to ensure it won’t be adopted.

Can’t get GPUs that could run it, can’t ship a product to customers because good luck buying the datacenter GPUs from AMD the MI100 is unavailable for purchase unless you make a special order and even then apparently AMD doesn’t want anyone to actually buy it, can’t really find GPU cloud instances that run it on any of the major providers.

So what exactly is it? It’s been 5 years and if you want today to develop anything on the platform you have to build a desktop computer, find overpriced hardware on the second hand market pay a premium for it, hope that AMD won’t deprecate it within months like they did with GCN 2/3 without even a heads up notice all so you can develop something that only you can run with no future compatibility or interoperability.

If this is the right tool for the job then the job is wrong.
There is also a huge range of hardware/software.
Different kernels, drivers, AMD vs Nvidia, Wayland vs XOrg.
A lot more Linux users are moving to AMD GPU, so when I see platinum, I assume at least great support on AMD.
I would guess the 3.5x valuation from last year.
I feel the same. I used to be able to get uncountable hours of gameplay out of simple demo's of games because I didn't have the money for full games. The examples that come to mind are Cavewars and Fallen Haven. Both strategy games with a time limit. My brother and I would play the demo level over and over again and try to progress further and further within the set time limit. In a way it was like speedrunning but the other way around.
>It should be obvious to anyone who reached the site. They have listed popular books on the front page.

Not true for me. The front page had 3 links (Books, Articles, Sign up). I had to click Books before I could see content and _then_ it was obvious.

Most people aren't going to know what that even means.

(Author of Zola here)

I don't mind feature requests at all! The only thing I mind is people getting angry if I close a feature request as too niche or out of scope for Zola.

But for example, the big focus for the next version is better i18n support so feedback/opinions are very welcome: https://zola.discourse.group/t/rfc-internationalization-syst... but it is a big chunk of work so it will take some time.

For the revisions, I don't think it would work right now the way you want. I have thought about something similar before but couldn't figure out a satisfying way to do it (or even whether it was common enough for the work to be worth it).

Urbank – Baking for the next generation (gauging interest)
Thanks for the info. I do think the choice of Angular here is significant. Angular builds have historically been very heavy. Later versions have sped things up and Ionic apps have gained from that. I haven’t seen slow builds in React, for example.
I’m ambivalent about this. On the one hand they are LOUD as hell, but the electrics just don’t blow as good. The gas powered blowers just work better, especially for large jobs.
I've read the book and I find the first half great. It demonstrates the ubiquity of metaphor in language.

But its reach seriously exceeds its grasp. The book makes all kinds of bizarre claims. For example:

> the predominant implicit metaphor behind "argument" is battle/war/conflict, we intuit that there must be a "winner" and that we must "defeat" the "opponent" and other nasty implications

The reason we use war as a metaphor for argument is because wars and arguments are similar in an important way. They are methods of producing a decision when there is disagreement. That is: "war is the continuation of politics by other means". In the book, Lakoff makes the bizarre argument (I'm paraphrasing) "why can't we think of arguments like a dance?" Well, George, because a dance doesn't decide anything whereas arguments and wars do.

You can wax poetic about "collaborative exploration" all you like but the real question is, given a fork in the road, do we go right or left?
IEEE 754 requires that -0.0 and 0.0 compare equal.

> Does x*0 evaluate to 0.0

No, but it will compare equal, unless x is either infinite or a NaN.

Yes, unless x is either infinite or a NaN.
In the far future you won’t even need to host images , just provide the pretrained neural GPU with the image seed and let the client side reproduce it
I feel the same way.

I'm really fascinated by speedrunners who can beat my favorite classic games less than an hour, sometimes in minutes. Some of that is cutting weird corners but often it's pure excellent execution.

I often wonder about doing that myself, playing hundreds of hours of a single game to master it. Putting all of my focus on a single game like I used to as a kid, but I don't find anything keeps my attention that way now.

I think partially it's what you said, more money than time and I naturally gravitate towards spending my time on novelty instead of mastery. That's just how my brain works.

The other piece is when I look back, I don't think I spend nearly as much time replaying the same things in the past as I feel like I did. I think those memories of playing and replaying games are somewhat distorted by my memories.

I also spent a great deal of time watching those games being played by friends and their siblings and so forth, during sleepovers and after school.
Ah I see, I misunderstood your comment as referring to the quote's clinical wording. Sorry!
