I wrote this in April, before Claude Code and Codex. Now I am changing my mind: The Carpenter can indeed just ask for a nice table.

Not sure, I did propose a form of Scalable Bloom Filters in the past. Wasn’t aware of the Infini Filters need to take a closer look.

I am curious, can you link that video?

Rateless Bloom Filters: Set Reconciliation for Divergent Replicas with Variable-Sized Elements Set reconciliation protocols typically make two critical assumptions: they are designed for fixed-sized elements and they are optimized for when the difference cardinality, d, is very small. When adap...

Rateless Bloom Filters + Rateless Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables looks to be the perfect combination so far. Looking forward to seeing this help out with practical applications. Once the ArXiv link is up, we will also share the codebase link for reproducibility.

Much less overhead than competing solutions, unless sets are already very similar. And, unlike PinSketch, the computation cost is fine. It also shows the PinSketch lower bound was specific to sets of fixed sized elements.

The iceberg (ice cream) is just outside the shot, surely.

Looking forward to the next DARE talk.

Great attendance at DARE this year. This Erasmus+/ACM school is becoming a regular meeting point for the EU Distributed Data community, but we need more participation from the US. dare-lisbon.github.io/program/

Indeed. But I normally avoid this.

Oh boy. I got myself again into this situation of preparing slides on the train for a talk at DARE 2025 tomorrow morning. All on track now, ou intended, but I slightly panicked two hours ago when started editing.

Survey papers are the boundary. They used to take a long time to write. Now I look at a survey paper and I wonder how much of it was written by the authors vs. by Deep Research. Even if it was all manually produced, the doubt is unsettling.
We really need to catch up to the disruption of AI.

New neighbors. Maybe they will make a nest.

When you are one step ahead of the crowd it’s not obvious if you are a fool or a visionary. But at least the view ahead is less crowded.

The respiratory cycle modulates distinct dynamics of affective and perceptual decision-making Author summary Breathing is more than just a vital process for survival — it influences how we perceive and interact with the world around us. Recent research suggests that the rhythm of breathing, fr...
