Secrets of the Quantum Universe
The SysAdmin's guide to the Universe.
Secrets of the Quantum Universe launched on January 21, 2026.
What it does
Finally, a physics book for Tech People. ⚛️ I swapped complex calculus for SysAdmin metaphors to help you debug the Universe. What you'll learn: 💻 The Universe as an Operating System 🗄️ Entanglement as a Shared Database 🐛 Uncertainty as a Rendering Bug No math formulas. Just pure logic. Stop being intimidated by science. Start understanding the "backend" of reality today. 🚀
Discover quantum physics, quantum computers, and the mystery of consciousness without complex math. A unique perspective explained using IT analogies.
Quantum physics explained by a Sysadmin. From the technology of quantum computers (Vol. 1) to the mystery of consciousness and time (Vol. 2). Zero formulas, just the wonder of discovery. To truly understand quantum reality, you must first study the Hardware (the Universe), then the Software (Consciousness), and finally the Execution (Randomness). How the new physics is revolutionizing technology, medicine, and reality. Let's explore the "source code" of the world. You'll understand how quantum mechanics is already in your smartphone, how quantum computers work, unbreakable cryptography, and new networks. You've dismantled the universe, but who is looking at it? We apply quantum physics to…from angelopollino.com

Hi HN! My name's Robert Escriva. I got my PhD from Cornell's Computer Science department back in 2017. And three years ago I had a psychotic episode that irreversibly shook up my world. Since then I've been applying a skill I learned in grad school---namely, debugging distributed and complex systems---to my own mind. What I've found I've put into a [book (pdf)](https://rescrv.net/engineering-schizophrenia.pdf) on engineering, my particular schizophrenic delusions, and how people who suffer as I once did can find a way through the fog to the other side. This is not a healing…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
