Kasper Munck videredelte detteKasper Munck videredelte dette𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 A piece of research by Georgian-Vlad Saioc, former PhD student and now software engineer at Uber, is now being integrated into the upcoming Go 1.26 release of Google’s Go programming language, used by millions of developers worldwide. In his PhD work, Vlad tackled a long-standing challenge in Go: partial deadlocks (also known as goroutine leaks) - situations where some goroutines become permanently blocked, silently consuming memory and resources in long-running systems. 📄 In the paper “𝘋𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” (ASPLOS 2025), he and co-authors Angelina Lee, Anders Møller, and Milind Chabbi introduce a novel idea: by piggybacking on Go’s garbage collector, memory reachability can be used as a sound over-approximation of goroutine liveness. This makes it possible to detect and even recover from partial deadlocks at runtime, with negligible overhead - even in production systems. The approach was implemented in a prototype called Golf (Goroutine Leak Fixer) and evaluated on: ➡️ microbenchmarks with known concurrency bugs ➡️ thousands of Go packages in Uber’s codebase ➡️ a real Uber production service, where it detected hundreds of previously hidden partial deadlocks Read the paper here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eET5WMsu We’re excited to see this work integrated into the Go toolchain, where it appears in Go 1.26 as an experimental goroutine leak profiling feature - a strong example of how fundamental research can directly improve widely used programming languages at massive scale. Congratulations to Vlad and collaborators - great to see Aarhus University research shaping the future of Go 🚀 #computerscience #programminglanguageDynamic Partial Deadlock Detection and Recovery via Garbage Collection | Proceedings of the 30th ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, Volume 2Dynamic Partial Deadlock Detection and Recovery via Garbage Collection | Proceedings of the 30th ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, Volume 2

My head-of-research-lab-agent is instructed to be responsible for the quality of the research its agents produces. This includes refusing to start research projects on topics I should just google or ask chatgpt about. It is oddly satisfying when it (rightfully) refuses to follow my request 😄👊

Kasper Munck reagerede på detteKasper Munck reagerede på detteIn a hybrid setup, goodbyes don't happen all at once. They come in waves. The last day in the office. The last standup. The last team call. And then, quietly, the calendar goes empty and the notifications stop. This Friday was my last day at Grundfos after five years as a consultant on Grundfos Connect. Five years is longer than most consultants get, and the involvement and responsibility I was trusted with along the way went far further than I had ever hoped when I joined. I walked into the project in June 2021, at a point where it had been trying to replace a legacy system multiple times over nearly a decade. The senior leadership was getting weekly stakeholder escalations, the lead backend developer had resigned on the morning of my first day, and we spent that summer stabilising something that was not supposed to need stabilising. Five years later, the platform carries the most connected devices in Grundfos, three of four business units build on top of it, and the team deploys daily where it used to be a semi-annual event. We used to say on our Friday meetings that this week had been wild and next week only seemed to pick up speed. That was true for most of five years. You don't notice how fast it moves until it stops. I'm proud of those results, but not as much as I'm proud of the people who created them. I drove the hiring process for most of the core team and onboarded them when they arrived. Every hire met the existing team before any contract was signed, because culture is set by who you let in. We were looking for people who were both sharp and high on interpersonal skills. When you find that combination and let it set the standard, it compounds. In the last weeks, I asked colleagues for honest feedback. Their perspective on what they had seen me do well, what I might not be aware of, and one thing I could benefit from focusing more on. The responses have been overwhelming. Some of it confirmed what I hoped was true. Some of it surprised me. Five years is long enough to see the full arc of something. It deserves more than just a mental note. What came through most consistently was the team culture we built together. That trust was the foundation, not just a value on a slide. That we learned from failure as a system, not as blame. That the team eventually ran the post-mortems and most of the operational decisions without me, and that this was the goal, not a side effect. Several colleagues have told me this was the best team they've been part of. I feel the same. I'll be spending the summer with my family. In the autumn I'll figure out what's next. For now, the empty calendar is the point.

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om detteSofie Biltoft-Riis kender øjeblikket. Først bliver der stille, mens indtrykkene bliver bearbejdet. Og så, efter en nærmest larmende stilhed, lyder det fra kokkene: “Wow. Det smager virkelig godt, det her.” For direktøren i Arla Unika er det præcis dér, arbejdet giver mening. "Arla Unika blev jo skabt med en mission om at tage mejeri til nye højder. Og det er en mission, jeg brænder meget for. Jeg synes, det er motiverende at vise, at vi i Danmark kan lave råvarer i den absolutte topklasse." Sofie er vokset op på Mors, hvor landbruget aldrig var langt væk. Som ung voksen fik hun øjnene op for de minder, som gode råvarer kan være med til at skabe. I dag arbejder hun for, at danske mejeriprodukter kan være med på det højeste gastronomiske niveau. Et arbejde, der begynder allerede i marken. “Hvis du vil have den ypperste kvalitet på tallerkenen, bliver der nødt til at være kvalitet i hver evig eneste led,” siger hun. Derfor handler fortællingen om Arla Unika også om dygtige landmænd, stærke håndværkstraditioner og den viden, teknologi og innovation, der kendetegner dansk fødevareproduktion. For ifølge Sofie kan Danmark noget særligt: Vi kan tage naturens ressourcer og kombinere dem med faglighed, omtanke og moderne viden, så råvarer bliver løftet til et niveau, hvor de kan indgå i gastronomi i verdensklasse. Den 1. juni bliver der uddelt Michelin-stjerner i Danmark. Her vil kokkene og restauranterne naturligt være i centrum. Men bag de store madoplevelser står også landmændene, mejeristerne og fødevareproducenterne, der hver dag insisterer på kvalitet i hvert eneste led.

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om detteI’m excited to share that I’ve returned to Uber as VP of Engineering. Coming back feels both familiar and new at the same time! The scale, technical ambition, and opportunities ahead are bigger than ever, especially as we step into our AI-driven era of building. We’re at the start of something exciting. AI isn’t new to Uber. From the company’s earliest days, teams pioneered machine learning to power many different systems at impressive scale. And now, I’m eager to take Uber to the next level as a place where builders in AI want to come, do their best work, and shape how intelligent systems transform real-world platforms. It’s been great diving in with the teams and start rethinking the future of engineering. We’re unlocking new levels of velocity and impact through AI, while always keeping safety and the people we serve at the center of everything we do. Grateful to Praveen Neppalli Naga for the opportunity, and excited to partner with him again as we take on this next chapter for Uber. I've been reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting many new colleagues and excited to take Uber forward! 🚀

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om detteWe just shipped Claude Opus 4.8 and dynamic workflows! Claude Opus 4.8 is the most capable model we've put out and the best you can build on right now, outside the Mythos-class systems we're still testing under Project Glasswing. SWE-bench Pro went from 64.3 to 69.2. But the improvement I keep coming back to is honesty. Opus 4.8 is about 4x less likely than 4.7 to let a flaw in its own code slide past unremarked. It tells you what it's unsure of instead of dressing up thin progress as finished work. For anyone whose agents run with real oversight cost, that's worth more than another point on a leaderboard. That compounds on big, long-running jobs, which is why I'm most excited about dynamic workflows, launching in research preview today. Claude plans the work, fans out across hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session, and verifies its own output before handing it back, with 4.8 letting those agents run longer before they report. This is aimed at the work that used to take a quarter and a working group: codebase-scale migrations, sprawling refactors, and bug fixes across hundreds of thousands of lines, graded against the test suite you already trust. Available in Claude Code for Enterprise, Team, and Max. One practical note for fellow builders: Opus 4.8 defaults to "high" effort, and that's the right setting for most work. There's an "xhigh" level for the genuinely hard, long-running tasks. It's strong, but it's token hungry, so reach for it deliberately. We've made the headroom for it on both sides: higher rate limits for subscribers, and fast mode now 2.5x the speed at 3x lower cost ($10/$50) for API customers. Standard pricing is unchanged at $5/$25. Available today. More in the blog: https://lnkd.in/ggSctZyc

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om dette𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 🎓 On Friday, May 29th, Amalie Brogaard Pauli will defend her PhD thesis Persuasive Language and Style in Text: Reliability, Validity, and Efficiency, supervised by Professor Ira Assent. During this PhD project, Amalie studied how to measure and evaluate style-related aspects of text, particularly in text generated by artificial intelligence. With the rapid development and increasing use of large language models, such as chatbots, it has become important to assess not only the information these systems generate, but also how it is expressed, for example, whether the text contains persuasive language. Her findings contribute to a better understanding of how to evaluate nuanced and subjective aspects of AI-generated text. This is important for developing trustworthy AI systems. Good luck, Amalie! We wish you all the best for your defence – and for the future 🌟 hashtag#computerscience hashtag#PhDDefence

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om detteForleden var vi lykkelige over, at Forældrekommissionen på tre døgn havde rundet de første 670 medlemmer 🚀 Her under to døgn senere har vækstkurven taget endnu et ryk… for forandringsfællesskabet har nu fordoblet sig til 1431 registrerede medlemmer 🚀🚀 Forældrekommissionen var i går inviteret i Go’ Morgen Danmark for at fortælle mere om vores nystiftede forening. Når Go’ Morgen Danmark skriver, at foreningen “skal bidrage til en løsning” på ufrivilligt skolefravær, så er det en sandhed med modifikationer. I Forældrekommissionen vil vi arbejde for at samle de rette aktører og kræfter, så forandring kan ske. Og forældrene er blot én af de aktører - vi kan nemlig umuligt skabe forandringen alene. Vigtigst af alt arbejder Forældrekommissionen for, at ingen familier skal stå alene med ufrivilligt skolefravær. Det er også på netop den baggrund, at Det Obelske Familiefond er klar til at bevillige 2,5 millioner kr. til faciliterede forældregrupper rundt i landet, når vi har sikret de rette samarbejder og midler til at skabe den forening, vi drømmer om. Vi glæder os til samarbejdet. Men hvis vi skal i mål med ambitionerne, har vi også brug for andre fondes opbakning til at rulle fællesskabets forandringskraft ud i hele landet. Behovet er her, og vi håber fortsat, at mange flere vil melde sig ind: https://lnkd.in/eTthney5 Indslag fra Go Morgen Danmark i kan ses her: https://lnkd.in/e8Sn4R3v

Kasper Munck reagerede på detteKasper Munck reagerede på detteFor en måned siden landede der en mail i min indbakke. Jeg var blevet nomineret til 100 Women in AI – en liste, der hylder 100 kvinder, som bidrager markant til AI-feltet i Danmark. Og nu er jeg udvalgt til listen - i selskab med 99 crazy-vilde og inspirerende kvinder 💥🤯 Det føles stadig lidt surrealistisk. Ikke mindst fordi jeg ikke kommer fra en klassisk tech- eller AI-baggrund. Jeg har nu i snart seks år været med til at forme og bygge tech til beskæftigelsesområdet, som i dag bliver brugt af mere end 125.000 aktive brugere på tværs af kommuner, uddannelsesinstitutioner og a-kasser i Norden. Jeg har ansvar for Product Management hos Candeno og arbejder hver dag med AI - både i de løsninger vi udvikler, og i måden jeg selv arbejder, lærer og skaber på. Men det, der trak mig ind i feltet, var ikke teknologien i sig selv. Det var ønsket om at gøre en reel forskel for mennesker i en af livets sværere overgange – når man søger job, er på vej ud i arbejdslivet eller skal starte forfra. Teknologi blev vejen dertil. Derfor er det også naturligt for mig at se udviklingen af AI som en forlængelse af det samme arbejde - bare med et langt større mulighedsrum. AI har allerede åbnet helt nye muligheder for, hvordan vi arbejder og skaber løsninger for mennesker, når det bliver bygget og brugt med forståelse for de virkelige situationer, det indgår i. De seneste uger har jeg set mange af de andre nominerede kvinder dele deres historier på LinkedIn. Og det er blevet så tydeligt, hvor forskellige vores baggrunde, perspektiver og veje ind i AI er – og hvor vigtigt det er. For AI er ikke forbeholdt klassiske tech-profiler eller lineære karriereveje. Studier viser stadig, at kvinder er underrepræsenteret i både tech og brugen af AI. Derfor betyder initiativer som det her noget. De gør repræsentation synlig - og får flere, (inklusiv 🙋🏻♀️) til at føle, at de også hører til. Der er brug for forskellige fagligheder, perspektiver og erfaringer, hvis vi vil bygge teknologi, der afspejler dem, den skal bruges af. Tak til Connected Women in AI for at insistere på, at repræsentation betyder noget, og for at facilitere en samtale, der får flere kvinder til at føle sig velkomne i arbejdet med AI og teknologi 🙏🏼

Kasper Munck syntes godt om detteKasper Munck syntes godt om detteOracle has spent the last two weeks writing articles comparing Oracle (and PDB) to Lakebase, and it highlights a massive philosophical divide in how we view databases in the agentic era. They are trying to retrofit heavy, traditional architectures for AI. We believe Lakebase are the future because agents need something entirely different: ⚡️ Super simple APIs: so agents don't have to read a giant manual and hallucinate a query. ⚡️ Sub-second provisioning & auto-scaling: so you aren't paying legacy-level prices for idle time. ⚡️ Branching: Git-style branching to create isolated, safe environments for agents on the fly. ⚡️ Automatic backup & restore: so you don't sweat it when an autonomous agent inevitably drops a table. The numbers speak for themselves. Lakebase is our fastest growing product. In the last few months alone, we've seen database start rate 30X, and now we are starting tens of millions of databases EVERY DAY. Some of these databases have 500 level deep branches and lifetime of just seconds due to how fast agents move. Go try it yourself in a few seconds on neon.com! The team has been cooking hard to push this gap even further. Come to Data and AI Summit next month to hear about some major new breakthrough capabilities. 🚀 (Links in comments so you can read their take)
