I've been intrigued by closures since I taught introductory computer science from SICP at UC Davis in 1988. This post dives into a little programming language theory to trace a line from closures to objects to actors to picos. » Closures, Objects, Actors, and Picos open.substack.com/pub/windley/p/…

Bummed that there’s no @audible_com version of Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, and Bach.
Got a new idea in identity (especially agentic identity)? Come join us and run a session.

Utah is lucky to have @DeidreHenderson as our LG. She’s right and I’m glad she is sticking up to the President. youtu.be/TJlAdFCKYiA?is…
Not comparable. A tiny number of terrorists have an outsized impact (killing hundreds of people in a very public way). A small number of misregistered voters usually has no impact at all. Getting large enough numbers of fraudulent voters on the rolls and then to the polls to swing most elections is very difficult under current rules.
By Leslie Stahl’s logic, it’s wrong to require air travelers in America to go through TSA screening because (1) very few air travelers carry out terrorist acts (indeed, “the numbers are tiny”), and (2) mandatory TSA screening tends to “sow distrust” in the safety of air travel.
@roborockglobal has succeeded in creating so many models and options I’m stuck in decision mode with no good way to move forward.
@jeffnolan That’s true. A good password manager helps. If you need to log into public computers, then the only answer is something like a Yubikey, but only for a limited set of logins. There’s still lots of uneven implementation too. Some of it is truly awful.
Not very impressed with FSD 14.3 lite. It has suddenly veered to the road shoulder three times since the update two days ago.
@csuwildcat @PeterDiamandis Anyone coming to @idworkshop in Nov to talk about this?

@matthewswspence @DanielDiMartino Yeah, the savings are like the average American household being stoked over saving $0.35.

For MGM and Caesars in 2023, attackers didn't hack the login. They called the help desk, posed as employees, and asked for password and MFA resets. The recovery path is a login path. Protect it like one. startwithidentity.com/breaches/scatt…
@thogge @Re2pectsport Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. 😂

How is U of I using AI to advance research? Luke Sheneman explains how our approach centers maintaining university-controlled infrastructure that allows researchers to make decisions about how tools are used, protect data, monitor resource use and manage costs.
