Carlos Baquero @xmal.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Intelectual Geneologies is a series of reports that (unlike surveys) track forward in time the spread of computer science concepts. The calibration report was with CRDTs, and the first report is on Lamport clocks’ paper. Open to community feedback on the idea. 241

Carlos Baquero @xmal.bsky.social · 30/07/2026These vacations I don’t need a social media detox, I have mostly been parsimonious with that vice since a competing one has creeped in. What I will pursue is a AI assisted projects detox. Must get back to have ideas that just stay ideas and are not immediately executed. 080

Carlos Baquero @xmal.bsky.social · 28/07/2026When multiple agents reason in parallel it is easy to merge their textual outputs, but very hard to merge their, richer, latent abstractions. We provide a first solution to this problem that also delivers CRDT properties. 161

Carlos Baquero @xmal.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Ok. Fable and Sol are making new science I barely understand in my field of expertise. Just need to point them into good directions. 130
Carlos Baquero @xmal.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Can we merge latent spaces as we merge CRDT replicas? It works for two replicas with a CRDT-like design, and we can do federated querying without exposing the query to the LLMs that process the source data. Abstract and link in thread. 110
