The SSO Wall of Shame – Vendors that treat SSO as luxury feature

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 22:38:38

Why does this exist? Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism for outsourcing the authentication for your website (or other product) to a third party identity provider, such as Google, Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), PingFederate, etc. In this context, SSO refers to a SaaS or similar vendor allowing a business client to manage user accounts via the client’s own identity provider, without having to rely on the vendor to provide strong authentication with audit logs, and with the ability to create and del

Staff disquiet as Alan Turing Institute faces identity crisis

news.ycombinator.com Dan Milmo 2025-12-18 20:18:58

When the UK government announced the creation of the Alan Turing Institute in 2014 it promised a “fitting memorial” to the renowned computer scientist and artificial intelligence pioneer. More than a decade on, Britain’s leading AI institute is in turmoil as staff warn it may be in danger of collapse and ministers demand a shift in focus to defence and security work. “The ATI brand is well recognised internationally,” says Dame Wendy Hall, a professor of computer science at the University of S

A renovation project in Turkey led to the discovery of a lost city (2023)

news.ycombinator.com April White 2025-12-20 11:34:55

We live cheek by jowl with undiscovered worlds. Sometimes the barriers that separate us are thick, sometimes they’re thin, and sometimes they’re breached. That’s when a wardrobe turns into a portal to Narnia, a rabbit hole leads to Wonderland, and a Raquel Welch poster is all that separates a prison cell from the tunnel to freedom. A Fateful Swing of the Hammer Those are all fictional examples. But in 1963, that barrier was breached for real. Taking a sledgehammer to a wall in his basement, a

Hallucinations in AI Models: What They Mean for Software Quality and Trust

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-12-20 21:00:57

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust. These hallucinations occur when AI presents false information as fact. The damage extends beyond technical failures, as user trust erodes, brand reputations suffer, and ethical questions multiply.

This is a pet project of mine I’ve been working on for a while. We’re going to create minimal implementations of the most successful static type systems of the last 50 years. This will involve making toy implementations of programming languages and the core typechecking algorithms. These obviously have evolved a lot over the years, so we’ll start with the simple ones and proceed all the way up to modern dependent types. Basically a fun romp through half a century of programming language design.
