41,805,301 | story | n2d4 | 2024-10-11T01:40:09 | Show HN: An open-source reverse proxy that authenticates users | auth-proxy is a minimal HTTP reverse proxy that shows login pages on protected pages, and passes user information in headers. My goal was to build something that’s as flexible as possible and can add auth to any existing infrastructure.<p>It’s pretty straightforward to use, after setting up Stack Auth (which this is based on) you can use the Docker container to proxy port 3000 to 3001:<p><pre><code> docker run -it \
-e NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PROJECT_ID=<project-id> \
-e NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PUBLISHABLE_CLIENT_KEY=<client-key> \
-e STACK_SECRET_SERVER_KEY=<server-key> \
-e SERVER_PORT=3000 \
-e PROXY_PORT=3001 \
-p 3001:3001 \
stackauth/auth-proxy:latest <protected-page-patterns>
</code></pre>
If you now go to <a href="http://localhost:3001/handler/sign-in" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3001/handler/sign-in</a>, you will see a log-in page.<p>Once you’re authenticated, every request to your HTTP server will have the following extra headers:<p>- x-stack-authenticated ("true" if authenticated; not present otherwise)<p>- x-stack-user-id<p>- x-stack-user-primary-email<p>- x-stack-user-display-name<p>If you’re building an SPA or client-side app, you can also fetch the current authentication status on /handler/me:<p><pre><code> {
"user": {
"id": "...",
"primary_email": "[email protected]",
"display_name": "John Doe"
},
"authenticated": true
}
</code></pre>
This is all still pretty hacky, but I’d love to hear your feedback. Any cool ideas on what to build?<p>PS: Big props to fellow HN user rudasn who brought it up first, and who gave us plenty of ideas after another Hacker News thread: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195470">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195470</a> | https://github.com/stack-auth/auth-proxy | 5 | null | 41,805,301 | 0 | null | null | null |
41,805,302 | comment | rainsford | 2024-10-11T01:40:11 | null | "I was tempted" is generally not considered a legal defense if you commit a crime. What difference does it make if the police created the particular temptation? If the person in your example stole a non-bait car where the owner was just careless about leaving their keys inside, that's still a crime right? How does the police creating a similar situation change the legal facts at all?<p>Entrapment debates are also a pretty good opportunity to apply the average person heuristic. Would the average person likely steal a car if they saw the keys sitting inside? Probably not, so someone who <i>would</i> do that is arguably predisposed to committing the crime if presented with the opportunity.<p>Now there's a very valid argument to be had about whether or not it's a good use of police time trying to catch lazy criminals (i.e. those that are willing to commit a crime but only when it's super easy). But that's a police policy discussion, not a legal defense. The criminals in those situations still deserve to be charged. | null | null | 41,804,202 | 41,802,823 | null | null | null | null |

41,805,304 | comment | kragen | 2024-10-11T01:41:13 | null | I don't think you can emulate it on a tiny piece of hardware; the smallest full Uxn/Varvara implementation I've seen so far is the GameBoy Advance, which has 384KiB of RAM. On the other hand, you've previously been able to emulate some pretty astonishing things on pretty astonishing hardware.<p>There are a lot of minor things in Uxn and Varvara that make them hard to emulate efficiently. Extensive use of self-modifying code, memory-mapped I/O, and using a stack instruction set, for example.<p>I'm interested to hear how you'd redesign Uxn/Varvara to be <i>easy</i> to emulate on some tiny piece of hardware; of everyone in the world, you're probably the best person to answer that question. Little-endian, check. What else? | null | null | 41,804,260 | 41,777,995 | null | [

Even worse, why is it a democratic nation (sorta--they still have a king after all) now? Because they got tired of living in a dicatorship? No. It's because the dictator got old and died, and I guess they couldn't find a new dictator to replace him.<p>It shouldn't be any surprise that a nation and culture so tolerant of living in a dictatorship isn't exactly leading the world. | null | null | 41,804,081 | 41,799,016 | null | null | null | null |

(Many long-time contributors who cannot afford to hire a lawyer to deal with Matt’s whims have unfortunately decided this means they can no longer contribute.) Matt’s explicit stated (in Slack) intent is to require everybody to be involved in the conflict and choose sides. I’m sure not on Matt’s side, so I guess that means I’m on WP Engine’s, despite their mediocre service and contributions.<p>But no, I won’t use my own account.

41,805,344 | comment | pxc | 2024-10-11T01:51:26 | null | > You say "challenge" them but you really mean "belong to the tribe."<p>What I had in mind was more like books that are require some reasonable level of effort or ask something new of the reader, which will depend on them and what they're used to/practiced with. Here are some things I had in mind as useful challenges a book might present to a reader:<p><pre><code> - including words they haven't seen before or using words they know in new ways
- hopefully this also means they are at least sometimes looking those words up
- describing precise logical forms in natural language
- a book that relies on this might push a student who doesn't normally feel the need to take notes to draw a diagram or create a glossary or table or taxonomy
- including sentences with complex syntactic structure
- may not be good writing, may not be enjoyable. Potentially valuable for the same kinds of reasons as the previous example, plus helping develop some appreciation for the relative ease of consisw language
- involving unfamiliar literary forms
- using language in narrow technical ways
- can help readers develop an intuition for quickly whether a term is being used conventionally or as a term of art
- presenting an opportunity (or demand) to empathize with a strange person or a strange situation
- being translated in a different way (more literal, denser with annotations, more liberal) than the reader is used to
- comparisons would probably be productive.
</code></pre>
You get the idea. Considerations like this are already worked into school curricula. But what I meant was that generally people recognize an interest in reading that advances the learner's skills in some way. And that could look really different kinds of things for students with different talents, backgrounds, and interests.<p>It's also distinct from membership in any purported literary canon. I'm sure some kids could be productively challenged for an entire school year by works drawn entirely from some obscure fanfic community I've never heard of.<p>You're totally right that general notions of what texts are 'worthy' (sophisticated, substantive, difficult, beautiful, subtle, poweful, whatever) are culturally bound, and that choosing which books to praise or recommend or mandate goes deep beyond nationality or ethnicity into much finer ingroup signaling, too.<p>But that's not what I had in mind. I meant 'usefully challenging for some specific student at some specific time', not some metaphysically dubious concept of inherent sophistication.<p>I meant it more in the sense of making sure a student is coasting nor stumped— that at least some of their reading is really helping them grow. And I mean growth not just intellectually but also in a broader developmental sense. Emotional stuff, too. Even just figuring out how to connect with new settings or genres or why other people the like things they like. Trying to advance any of those would be a good reason to recommend a book for a student. (One genre I wish I'd figured out how to read and evaluate much earlier is math textbooks, for instance. But fiction genre-swap exercises between friends could be valuable, too. Say I don't like sci-fi, and you've not read much romance. We agree together to parallel missions to find each other a book in their disfavored genre that they actually connect with. Both the searching and establishing of such a new connection counts as one kind of useful challenge in this context, for me.)<p>Anyway I agree about why these conversations get so heated and unproductive. Many people either get too caught up in the cultural/affiliative dimension of the judgments involved or completely trip over them without acknowledging their existence. | null | null | 41,801,176 | 41,777,476 | null | null | null | null |

At the time the big reason why I picked it over WordPress was that I knew that I'd be on the hook for maintaining a WordPress site.

Before computer science was a formalized education stream, it had a variety of other names like "Business Computing" or something related to information technology, but you'd have to go pretty far back imo before you find a whole classroom of entrants into such a program that had never seen or touched a computer. By the time it was called CS, I do find it a bit of a reach that you'd find less than say 10% of students opting into taking it without that low bar being passed.<p>Likewise the biology example seems strange; sure <i>maybe</i> people haven't used a microscope specifically (unlikely imo), but they very likely have used any number of other implements and taken at least one secondary school biology course | null | null | 41,804,026 | 41,801,334 | null | null | null | null |

On MacOS they are combined into a single “resolution” and you pick from a list that makes sense for the display in question.<p>You pick the “effective resolution“ of the display, but the native screen resolution is always used and the DPI is changed to scale things up or down until they are scaled the same they would be on a monitor of the chosen resolution.<p>There are a few choices in that list, denoted by “(low resolution)” or something, which set the indicated resolution and leave scaling at 100%. Those look horrific on MacOS but they are options. | null | null | 41,803,908 | 41,800,602 | null | null | null | null |

EPYC: Average 311.64W<p>But the fine print under that same chart states:<p>AmpereOne: 6968J per run
EPYC: 14439J per run<p>By the Joules per run numbers, AmpereOne is far more power efficient than EPYC, requiring only less than half of the energy to complete a run.<p>In that case, how could the average power of EPYC to be only 11.8% higher than that of AmpereOne? For this benchmark EPYC is 14.2% faster than AmpereOne, and if the average power numbers are correct, the EPYC should have slightly lower Joules per run than AmpereOne.<p>That is not the only anomaly. For example, the CPU Power Consumption Monitor chart for John the Ripper 2023.03.14 also does not make sense. | null | null | 41,803,324 | 41,803,324 | null | [

It is also this interpretation that allow for paid support, which would otherwise also not be "free". It is possible that courts would make a different interpretation, or that free access to software will be interpreted as not free software, but instead about free access to a distribution channel, Which mean wordpress could go proprietary under that statement (free access to download would says nothing about freedom to run it). The distinction gets generally refereed as "free as in speech, not free as in beer".<p>Regarding Debian, I don't know if the Debian package has anything hardcoded to wordpress.org. The generally recommended update path is to use debian package manager rather than internal updating mechanics. Debian maintainers often patch thing or change defaults as part of the packaging in order to make software behave nicely with the debian eco-system. | null | null | 41,799,958 | 41,791,369 | null | null | null | null |

41,805,378 | comment | brailsafe | 2024-10-11T01:59:52 | null | Ya, I agree, but would clarify that I was mainly exploring a few real examples to illustrate my take on it, rather than intending to state those abilities were concretely innate, which I don't think they are.<p>The superficial difference between someone who may be "talented" and "highly skilled" seems to me to be indistinguishable without more context about how the skills came to be, and for most people who just aren't as pedantic, the term talented is just synonymous with skilled, imho.<p>In situations where two people of the same age, interest, and approximately similar exposure, resources, and build, are compared, it would come down to progress made between start and end of engaging in an activity without prior deliberate practice that to me would indicate some innate predisposition to do whatever it is that's advantaged by it. I watched two people my age grow up skateboarding into adulthood. Both came out highly skilled and with some amateur/pro success, but one had to grind much harder and took more damage in the process, while the other took a non-zero amount of serious damage, and seemingly picked new abilities up within a few goes. I think this accumulation of prerequisites has an aggregate cost that potentially detracts at at varying rates from each subsequent opportunity to pock something else up.<p>Something like microsoldering could teach you those skills, but if it took you 6 months to get good at it instead of 4 years, you'd have 3.5 more years at your new baseline of fine motor skills to train fencing without also impairing your academics. Doing it later for fun over an arbitrarily long time might be neat, but irrelevant, especially if you have no specific project to work on. | null | null | 41,798,038 | 41,756,978 | null | null | null | null |

41,805,392 | comment | colanderman | 2024-10-11T02:03:30 | null | Ah thank you!! I've been searching for a straightforward derivation like that for a while. Maxwell's equations are familiar ground for me, so that is very helpful. | null | null | 41,804,662 | 41,753,471 | null | null | null | null |

41,805,396 | comment | GeekyBear | 2024-10-11T02:04:05 | null | Not really.<p>PC games use DirectX as their graphics API, so you need something that can translate from DirectX to the native graphics API your OS is running.<p>On MacOS you'd be translating from DirectX to Metal and Apple provides the emulation software (D3DMetal) as part of the Game Porting Toolkit.<p>On a Steam Deck, Proton uses Vulkan on Linux as the native graphics API, so in that case you are translating from DirectX to Vulkan.<p>> DXVK (which translates Direct3D 8, 9, 10 and 11 calls to Vulkan on the fly), vkd3d-proton (which translates Direct3D 12 to Vulkan)<p><a href="https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Proton" rel="nofollow">https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Proton</a> | null | null | 41,805,093 | 41,799,068 | null | null | null | null |
41,805,397 | comment | llm_trw | 2024-10-11T02:04:08 | null | Right, so there's more to it than I initially thought, but it's still hopelessly data-constrained. They’re hoping you could magically obtain all the necessary data from images and videos recorded by the phone when you remember to use the camera.<p>From my experience building a meeting minutes AI tool for myself, I’ve found that audio carries far more semantic information than video, and we're lacking most of the model capabilities to make audio useful—like speaker diarization. For video, you need object detection, and not just limited to the 100 or so categories of YOLO or DETR. You need to build a hierarchy of objects, in addition to OCR running continuously on each frame.<p>Once the raw data collection is done, you somehow need to integrate it into a RAG system that can retrieve all of this in a meaningful way to feed to an LLM, with a context length far beyond anything currently available.<p>All in all, just for inference you'd need more compute power than you'd find in the average supercomputer today. Give it 20 years and multiple always on cameras and microphones attached to you and this will be as simple as running a local 8b LLM is today. | null | null | 41,770,389 | 41,770,389 | null | [
