Shaun Thomas: Looking Forward to Postgres 19: The Cult of Functionality

Postgres ships with a genuinely bountiful catalog of built-in functions. There are literally thousands of them, covering everything from trigonometry to JSON path queries to full-text ranking. It's a kitchen sink of staggering proportions. Somehow despite all of that, there are actually still a few gaps to fill.Need a random date for some test data? That's going to be an entire expression, I'm afraid. How about the exact definition of a role, tablespace, or database? You better have a GUI databa

A Hidden 'Dark Dimension' Could Rewrite Our Understanding of the Universe

Scientists have proposed the existence of a fifth “dark dimension” that governs the behavior of both dark energy and dark matter—and which may be observationally detected in the near future, according to a recent preprint study. The dark dimension hypothesis could potentially provide an elegant solution to some of the biggest mysteries in science, including the nature of dark matter, an unidentified substance that makes up most mass in the universe, and dark energy, the term for whatever

No matter which paths I take, all of them return to Rust

I give up. Rust is the language that I need, but not the one I want. I'll simply stop worrying about the annoying parts of the language, for my workloads, and embrace it. The pursuit of a new programming language on itself is not bad, you learn a lot about, in a very short span of time. But by the time you need to get the work done, yes, you need to go deep into one ecosystem. Today, I can't think on a better ecosystem than Rust: Immutability Option/Result types instead of exceptions Enum Async

Apache Fory Rust Serialization 1.5.0 Released

KernelGenBench: A Multi-Source and Multi-Chip Benchmark for LLM-based Kernel Generation

arXiv:2607.27231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have significantly increased the demand for efficient accelerator kernels, but kernel development remains a highly specialized and labor-intensive task. The recent rise of LLMs and agentic frameworks offers a promising pathway toward automatic kernel generation. However, despite rapid progress, there is still no comprehensive benchmark to rigorously evaluate LLM-generated kernels across diverse operator sources or hete

Sympathetic Framing: Evaluating AI Alignment across Sociodemographic Groups

arXiv:2607.27232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly shaping how we consume information and form our worldview. This raises concerns beyond bias in AI: do LLMs grasp the emotional nuances conveyed via textual framing? In this work, we empirically evaluate how well an array of LLMs aligns with human emotional perception. Considering news headlines covering political and geopolitical conflicts, both human participants (n = 3011, a representative sample of

Exploring the "Dario and Amanda" Prompt

There’s something strange in Anthropic’s latest Claude Opus 5 release. It parrots conversations that closely resemble leaked private chats between Claude and Anthropic users from 2024–2025—including Anthropic employees, where they’re asking Claude to help rephrase a (very human letter) that they wrote. Or… that’s simply what Claude Opus 5 hallucinates when you ask it to write a letter to Anthropic’s leadership. It’s probably the latter. But after reading the examples, you might

Keel 0.4 - Very fast statically-typed interpreted language written in Rust - now with optional typed arguments, anonymous functions, HOFs, and improvements to FFI, performance, and errors

Keel 0.4 is out! Keel is a fast, statically-typed interpreted language that aims to combine Rust-like syntax with Python's ease-of-use. It's ~2-10x faster than Python, and competitive with LuaJIT (-joff). It does full type inference, is statically-typed and requires zero annotations (except for dylibs and structs). It has FFI support, meaning you can call functions from dynamic libraries directly from Keel with a "native" (easy) syntax. It's embeddable in other programs through a C ABI. Keel shi

So I was developing a project on eBPF and after research found that the rust language would be the best suitable for it. So far as the research is going on me and my colleagues thought of learning the language though we all are basic-intermediate at python c/c++ and java never tried Rust.

Methodology

My very first experiences with different methodologies for software development date back to the early nineties. I’ve lived through some heavyweight ones over the decades, including those in healthcare. Realistically, we need methodologies, even if we don't like to be confined by them. Too many loose strings in a project will eventually tangle.Which is why I liked the emerging lightweight ideas at the turn of the century. But I found that over time their intent turned away from what I thought

Christopher Winslett: Hybrid Search Patterns with Postgres and pgvector

That mix of similarity ranking plus scalar filters is hybrid search.We have written before about HNSW indexes with pgvector and scaling vector data.

What Is a Token? A Developer’s Guide to Every Type

If you’re an API or application developer, you likely hear the term “token” a lot. However, that term has entirely different meanings depending on the developer and the industry.

Perhaps you’re experimenting with crypto tokens, developing a game that allows users to purchase in-game items with cryptocurrencies. The point is that there are many types

The Age of AI Agents Demands A New Scientific Paradigm To Sustain Trustworthy Science

arXiv:2607.26064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems are becoming autonomous research agents that generate hypotheses, design experiments, and produce discoveries at scales beyond human oversight. As seen by increased submissions to ML venues, the verification gap between scientific output and our ability to check it is already widening, and autonomous agents make it worse by magnitudes given human-agent asymmetry. We argue that science must evolve its verification infrastructure, as it h
