OAuth for all 27 days ago

Just for clarity: Cloudflare runs authentik for their workforce identity. (source/disclosure: am CEO)

Glad to see them making use of Hydra for OAuth apps!

Authentik Security | Security Engineer | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Full-time

Authentik Security (https://goauthentik.io) is the company behind authentik (https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik), an open source identity provider with 1M+ unique installations. Help us replace Okta/Auth0, Ping Identity, and Microsoft Entra with modern, secure identity for all!

We are a small remote team, looking to scale up with experienced software engineers, primarily with a backend security focus. Bonus points if you have significant experience with identity/SSO standards and/or Django/Python.

To apply, please use: https://forms.gle/NYXH4E19LUohbpmJA

Not sure if this counts fully as 'distributed' here, but we (Authentik Security) help many companies self-host authentik multi-region or in (private cloud + on-prem) to allow for quick IAM failover and more reliability than IAMaaS.

There's also "identity orchestration" tools like Strata that let you use multiple IdPs in multiple clouds, but then your new weakest link is the orchestration platform.

There is also the opportunity to be "forward deployed" spending 20%+ of time with enterprise customers (remotely) on configuration best practices and rollout strategies, _if_ that is of interest to the right candidate.

A PBC is just a for-profit company that has _some_ sort of specific mandate to benefit the "public good" - however it chooses to define that. It's generally meant to provide some balance toward societal good over the more common, strictly shareholder profit-maximizing alternative.

(IANAL but run a PBC that uses this charter[1] and have written about it here[2] as part of our biennial reporting process.)

This is exactly our thinking with authentik (open source IdP), and it's played out in practice so far. Enterprise sales conversations are so much easier when they start with "we all use you in our homelabs already." We're much more focused on giving those individual users a positive early experience (in hopes that some small percentage will really pay off down the road) than in extracting a few dollars from each of them.

Banana For Scale | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Founding Engineer

Seeking a developer with Three.js/WebGL experience to help build a new project from the ground up. Bonus points if you have played around with Gaussian splatting or other radiance field techniques, have experience in C/C++ or computer vision.

Banana For Scale (working title) allows anyone to record any space, then edit it in 3D. Think Matterport + Polycam for interactive space design.

I am currently looking for my first hire, initially as a paid contractor so that we can both test out working together. Ideally this would move to a much larger full-time role as part of the founding team. You don't have to be experienced or interested in management, but you should be comfortable with self-directed work.

I previously founded Hunter2 (YC18), scaled to $1M ARR in < 2 years with a team of three before acquisition. I would like to stay deeply involved in the tech development for this project, but someone with the right experience and 100% focus on coding could speed up our efforts 20x.

Pretty well from my limited testing! For standing poses, it works roughly as well as a human in good lighting and contrast conditions - as in, in situations where you would have a hard time picking out where limbs are, Mediapipe will too. The more common issue is poor lighting, or clothing that blends into a busy background.

Yes, hoping to do something along these lines for a future update! I'm not sure if it would be individual notes/chords per motion, or something based on samples and a looper. If anyone knows of related projects, I'd love to get some ideas for inspiration.

I've got some musical + basic audio background and would love to turn this into a musical instrument or sample generator, just haven't worked out the best way to translate motion to sound yet. Any sound engineers or DJs who want to collaborate, reach out!

Amazing! The spoken demo reminds me of Victor Borge's Phonetic Punctuation. This would be such a great way to spend so much time getting slightly more efficient...

It's always going to be plenty of physical effort! In terms of the mental overhead: there are some letters/motions like R, F, D that just feel second-nature already from lots of practice and more 'obvious' positions, but I still have to think about most of them. A few letters still trip me up, like remembering M versus S (mirror images). I'd love to find a seasoned signalman to get their take.
