Assembly Theory of Time

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-01 17:41:02

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index. For complex objects such as computers to exist in our universe, many other objects had to f

Managing time when time doesn't exist

news.ycombinator.com Robb Corrigan 2026-03-01 11:28:12

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin

How to Think About Time in Programming Date published: Jun 23, 2025 Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity.

How Today’s Pentest Models Compare and Why Continuous Wins

As threat actors grow faster, stealthier, and more persistent, the approach to pentesting needs to keep evolving. Traditional, periodic assessments no longer keep up with rapidly changing attack surfaces. Static tests offer a snapshot, but attackers see a live stream. Security testing needs to shift testing models to mirror how real-world attackers operate.

I am a huge fan of Richard Feyman’s famous quote: “What I cannot create, I do not understand” I think it’s brilliant, and it remains true across many fields (if you’re willing to be a little creative with the definition of ‘create’). It is to this principle that I believe I owe everything I’m truly good at.
