Multi-agent LLM systems -- coding agents, devops agents, document agents -- now routinely run several agents in parallel against the same git tree, Kubernetes cluster, or document. As soon as two of them mutate shared state, they enter the regime classical concurrency control has studied for decades, but classical mechanisms fit LLM agents poorly. A single agent transaction spans minutes of inference, read sets are broad and opaque rather than s... Read more ›

I was building a B+Tree for a database project. I had a Value enum, either text or a child node, and I wanted one struct for both leaf and… Read more ›
We present TruthTable, a verifiable database engine that allows a prover to produce a succinct proof that convinces a verifier of the correct execution of the verifier's SQL query over the prover's committed database. TruthTable supports a large subset of SQL, enabling it to prove 17 out of 22 queries in the standard TPC-H benchmark. To our knowledge, this is the widest support out of all prior work. Moreover, TruthTable's proofs are small, and fast to generate and verify: on the TPC-H benchm... Read more ›
pgAgent has been my go to scheduling solution for quite some time. Sadly in 6 months it will be completely retired and the pgAgent UI in pgAdmin will be gone. The main reasons I liked pgAgent were: Cross Platform: I have a lot on windows and linux customers, so this was important. Nice UI in pgAdmin, so I could do all work with PostgreSQL and schedule things at the same time as well as check status of jobs. The database backend is PostgreSQL, my favorite database Supports Multiple Agents with... Read more ›
PostgreSQL's isolation levels hold surprises: read uncommitted silently becomes read committed, repeatable read forbids phantom reads the standard permits, and… Read more ›
Top Story AMD and Intel have unveiled their new ACE instruction set, which extends AVX vector instructions into matrix calculations. (Tom's Hardware) A single ACE instruction can result in up to 1024 multiplications, which is convenient but not exactly adhering... Read more ›
A vector database won’t fix a broken retrieval system. But a great retrieval system can make an average AI application exceptional. Read more ›

When network links were slow, cloud and distributed database systems could rely on generic kernel abstractions and treat network communication as a black box. With today's fast cloud networks, this approach breaks down: database performance becomes limited by the CPU overhead of the kernel TCP stack. Replacing TCP with user-space UDP can reduce this overhead, but it requires reimplementing essential guarantees, such as reliability and ordering. ... Read more ›
I am making my own systems programming language, called Tig. I want to write an OS kernel with it in the future. But i've been wondering why would I do that? Linux won, it seems there are no blue oceans left. Any ideas? Read more ›
Elastic NV has reportedly acquired Deductive AI Inc., a startup with a platform that helps enterprises fix errors in their technology infrastructure. TechCrunch on Thursday cited a source as saying that the deal is worth up to $85 million. That’s reportedly more than double the valuation Deductive received after its seed round last year. The […] The post appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href=" Read more ›
How people secretly working multiple full-time jobs are dodging RTO, layoffs, and employee tracking.
Return-to-office mandates, layoffs, and employee tracking have made overemployment harder. These workers say they're still making it work. Read more ›
As software engineers, we often architect solutions in a virtual ideal: fast networks, elastic resources, and servers that never physically degrade. But what happens when your carefully crafted systems need to interact with the messy, unpredictable physical world? Think factory floor monitors, real estate camera networks, or remote tracking devices. Suddenly, those cloud assumptions about infinite uptime and perfect connectivity crumble. My journey, particularly architecting and maintaining a... Read more ›
