This sounds like an awesome idea from @… - #Kagi for libraries!
And some other nice surprises to celebrate their 50,000* members...
*Bit surprised it's only 50,000 tbh...

Keigo: Co-designing Log-Structured Merge Key-Value Stores with a Non-Volatile, Concurrency-aware Storage Hierarchy (Extended Version)
We present Keigo, a concurrency- and workload-aware storage middleware that enhances the performance of log-structured merge key-value stores (LSM KVS) when they are deployed on a hierarchy of storage devices. The key observation behind Keigo is that there is no one-size-fits-all placement of data across the storage hierarchy that optimizes for all workloads. Hence, to leverage the benefits of combining different storage devices, Keigo places files across different devices based on their parall…

1/N Yksi modernin ajan mantra on, että kaikki sähköistyy ja digitalisoituu. Niin tekee siksi varmaan juhannuskin. Asian käsittelemiseksi pitää kai miettiä, että mikä siinä on erityistä? Jos muut elementit ovat tuttuja muualtakin, se erityisyys on kriittinen kynnyskysymys. Aika selkeästi se on järven rannalla oleva kokko. Ja mikä tai mitkä asiat kokossa?

Kac's Program for the Landau Equation
We study the derivation of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation from the mean-field limit of some conservative $N$-particle system, which is formulated by passing to the grazing limit on Kac's walk in his program for the Boltzmann equation. It is the first time that propagation of chaos is resolved for some many-particle system approximating the Landau equation with Coulomb interactions, and that Kac's program is extended to the Landau equation in the regime of soft potentials. The converg…

Updated my Fediverse profile page, so it references more background stories rather than just referencing the apps we currently build.
Of course, given space constraints most of those story references are very brief allusions. But they might still serve as useful launch points for conversation! If anything there piques your interest and you're curious to learn more, feel free to ask me about them.
