Managing time when time doesn't exist

news.ycombinator.com Robb Corrigan 2025-09-05 02:28:12

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

techspot.com Bob O'Donnell 2025-09-05 07:44:00

In case you haven't heard, GenAI is old news. Now, it's all about agentic AI. At least, that certainly seems to be the theme based on the latest announcements from the major tech industry vendors. All of them are focused on driving the story of more autonomous actions enabled by AI. That said, there's still a tremendous amount of activity and advancement happening in the "traditional" era of generative AI – particularly around integrating the technology into businesses and their internal IT ope

The Jumping Frenchmen of Maine

news.ycombinator.com Kaushik Patowary 2025-09-03 05:56:14

In the late 19th century, a rare and highly unusual neuropsychiatric condition was observed among a group of French-Canadian lumberjacks living in the Moosehead Lake region of northern Maine. Those affected exhibited an extreme and exaggerated startle reflex. When startled by a sudden movement or loud noise, they reacted with dramatic involuntary responses, such as leaping into the air, screaming, repeating words, or instantly obeying shouted commands. It was reported that the "jumpers" were pri

What if computer history were a romantic comedy?

Bunny Watson’s view was not uncommon during the first decade of computing technology. Thomas Watson Sr., president of IBM, insisted that one of his firm’s first machines be called a “calculator” instead of a “computer” because “he was concerned that the latter term, which had always referred to a human being, would raise the specter of technological unemployment,” according to historians Martin Campbell-Kelly and William Aspray.

He fancies himself the innovator of our time. “Disrupt” could be his middle name. Technology, it seems, is in his DNA. And yet, Elon Musk apparently—supposedly—has a secret Luddite streak: he doesn’t use a computer. The revelation didn’t come from a biography or a tell-all interview. It came from a legal filing in the high-stakes, mud-slinging lawsuit between Musk and OpenAI, where the future of artificial intelligence is on trial in a Northern California courtroom.

Wi-Fi routers don't typically spend much time in the limelight, but TP-Link has been an exception over the past six months.

Under Trump 2.0, Tech Companies Pull Back on Pride

It is to this principle that I believe I owe everything I’m truly good at.
