Scientists have recreated the Universe's first molecule

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-11 11:20:51

Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had cooled down enough for the first elements to form, primarily hydrogen and helium. These were still completely ionized at this point, as it took almost 380,000 years for the temperature in the universe to drop enough for neutral atoms to form through recombination with free electrons. This paved the way

About AI

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-14 18:05:43

For the last 1.5 years, I have forced myself to work with and learn AI, mostly because the future of software engineering will inevitably have more AI within it. I’ve focused on optimizing my workflow to understand when AI is a genuinely useful tool versus when it’s a hindrance. Now, 1.5 years later, I feel confident enough to say I’ve learned enough about AI to have some opinions, which is why I’m writing this post.

They store the credentials, tokens, and certificates that govern access to systems, services, APIs, and data. They’re not just a part of the trust model, they are the trust model.
