Assembly Theory of Time

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 05:41:02

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

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

Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux

For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport. I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics. The NFC chip in a passport is protected by a password. The password is printed on the inside of the physical passport. As well as needing to be physically close to the passport for NFC to work, you also need to be able to see the password.

The Probability of a Hash Collision

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-03 12:34:16

The probability of a hash collision Tags: probability A hash function takes arbitrarily complex input - a word, a website, an image, a human being - and maps it to a single number. This is useful for various computer science stuffs, such as data storage and cryptography. For example, let's say you want to store a book in one of N N N boxes. If you put the book in a random box, it's quite likely that you'll forget which box you picked, especially as N N N gets bigger. What you can do instead i

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 11:55:53

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different

Now Christopher Voigt, head of MIT’s Department of Biological Engineering, and colleagues have triggered bacterial cells to produce signals that can be read from as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of sensors for agricultural and other applications, which could be monitored by drones or satellites. The resea
