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.

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/

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.

Nice cliff. Bank leverage was out of control before the 2008 financial crisis. More recently leverage is “only” 6x.

Picked an interesting time to read about Broken Money. I will probably not live to see 1$ = 1 Satoshi (the minimum unit in BTC), but it can happen in less than a century.

First session of Informal Readings @ Porto had the best possible start. Great discussion on Practical Rateless Set Reconciliation. Next paper will be selected for September session #2. cbaquero.github.io/web/Informal...

Northern European countries demonstrate higher adherence to NPIs than Southern Europe, which exhibits more variability in response to restrictions. These differences highlight the influence of cultural and social norms on public health outcomes.
