Ask HN: What type of Auth are you using on your side projects?

honksillet — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 16:29:14 +0000

I was looking at the Supabase docs and it was nice to see a long list of Auth work flows supported/documented. So my question is, here in October 2024, what are y'all using for Auth on your side projects. Password based, social, email, something else? If you are using social, which social do you support? Is there any public data on which types of Auth have the best conversion/bounce rates? And for you, which Auth is just easy to support long term and which just ends up being a drag? TY

Don’t worry. The next generation will use generative algorithms to make fake images that are indistinguishable from the real deal.

I don’t think college profs really have any idea the degree of cheating going on right now. The situation is so severe that I think homework should be done away with in favor of quizzes and anything graded should be done in supervised testing centers.

Twitter was a botnet long before LLMs and Musk got involved.

I can’t help but this of my aging apple MacBook. I once had full functioning, non subscription versions of both windows office suite and Adobe photoshop and illustrator. Neither of those packages of software work now and the integral MacBook battery is swelling and a would be a total pain to replace.

It might be worth while looking at lichess and take some direction from their interface, which is quite nice.

So the bad guys won. OpenAI gets further from it’s non commercial origins and further from responsible research in this field.

I’m guessing this was done by using YouTube’s api to look at transcripts, which are time stamped. This is great. Anyone know if there is a Chinese equivalent video platform that has time stamped characters?

These are official numbers which are a gross underreporting of actual inflation.

Instead of just iterating on a solid business another case of promising infinite growth, which in reality is just a different form of pump and dump. Fire the executives.

Something rarely mentioned is how much land the federal government owns. Maybe the feds don’t need to own 50% of Oregon and 80% of Nevada.
