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

‘Ironheart’ Has Kinks to Work Out, But Flies High Enough

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-30 02:00:08

Since Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has examined which heroes will step up now that most of the original characters have bowed out. In the case of Iron Man, this question has mostly been answered in Spider-Man, but fans of the armored Avenger’s comics know his actual successor comes in Riri “Ironheart” Williams, introduced in 2016 by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato, Jr. Marvel brought Riri into the cinematic fold with 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with the promise of her eventually

Before the multiverse, magic, or any of Marvel’s streaming series were important parts of the studio’s cinematic universe, there was Iron Man. After years of so-so movies, Iron Man reminded everyone that Marvel’s big-screen adaptations could be amazing with the right creative teams and stars attached. Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark was the MCU’s centerpiece and a prime example of how the House of Ideas could make box office record-breaking icons out of its lower-profile characters. A couple of t

New data highlights the race to build more empathetic language models

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2025-08-30 13:03:01

Measuring AI progress has usually meant testing scientific knowledge or logical reasoning – but while the major benchmarks still focus on left-brain logic skills, there’s been a quiet push within AI companies to make models more emotionally intelligent. As foundation models compete on soft measures like user preference and “feeling the AGI,” having a good command of human emotions may be more important than hard analytic skills. One sign of that focus came on Friday, when prominent open-source

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved.
