Goroutine MONitor (gmon) is a monitoring tool for tracking goroutines in a Go program, inspired by Real World Debugging with eBPF. It requires amd64 (x86_64) Linux Kernel 5.8+. gmon logs goroutine creation with stack traces to stdout, offering insights into the behavior of goroutines. It exposes metrics like gmon_goroutine_creation and gmon_goroutine_uptime in OpenMetrics format. Users […]

The Ergo Framework implements Erlang ideas and design patterns in Go, simplifying the development of complex and distributed solutions with high reliability and performance. Utilizing the actor model and network transparency, it allows for scalable and fault-tolerant systems, easy communication between nodes, and built-in observability features. Ready-to-use components streamline development, and support for distributed systems […]
The author discusses the benefits of using Haskell as a programming language, despite it being perceived as impractical or niche. They argue that Haskell is not only suitable for academic use but also for building real-world applications, particularly web servers. In their view, Haskell’s strong type system and functional programming paradigm lead to more robust […]
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) are raising hopes for accelerating scientific discovery by autonomously generating and validating new ideas. However, evaluations have not proven that LLM systems can produce expert-level ideas or complete the research process. A study compares expert NLP researchers to an LLM ideation agent, finding that LLM-generated ideas are more […]
Researchers are buzzing about the recent introduction of Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs), a new type of neural network that shows great promise in scientific discovery. KANs tackle the challenge of interpretability that has long plagued traditional neural networks, offering transparency and insight into how they reach conclusions. In a groundbreaking study, KANs demonstrated the ability to […]
Horton’s question brought up a crucial point: the lack of discussion on dissecting sauropods. They are curious about the lung and air sac system of titanosaur sauropods, given their quarter-century of research into sauropod respiratory systems. Birds, which survived the K-Pg disaster due to their small size, might not represent the apex of saurischian lung […]
Researchers developed the GAZExploit attack in two parts: first, analyzing the gaze behavior of users typing on a virtual keyboard using Vision Pro headsets, and second, using geometric calculations to determine the position and size of the virtual keyboard. By combining these elements, they were able to predict typed letters with high accuracy, including passwords […]
The author describes their experience with soldering stations, expressing skepticism towards “smart” USB-C soldering irons until trying out the iFixit FixHub. The system consists of a Smart Soldering Iron and Portable Power Station, with impressive features including rapid heating, portability, and easy customization through WebSerial interfaces. A unique aspect is the iron’s ability to be […]
Last month, we acquired PeerDB, specializing in Postgres CDC, making it easy to replicate data to ClickHouse. This guide helps transitioning Postgres users understand ClickHouse’s data modeling for optimal benefits. PeerDB uses the ReplacingMergeTree engine for mapping PostgreSQL tables to ClickHouse efficiently, supporting append-only workloads. ClickHouse delivers exceptional real-time ingestion performance through deduplication with the […]
