Do you have any paper/talk that gives more details about the "geometric XOR filter"? If not, is there any plan to publish something?

Yes! My colleague who created it has started working on an open source version so we can publish it. I am not sure when it will be ready, but I'm excited because it is extremely interesting and has a lot of potential use cases.
Amazing, thank you!

PS: where/what can I follow to know when it is published? Could you share your colleague github handle (I guess he'll have one :) )?

We'll definitely blog about it (https://github.blog/). His handle is https://github.com/aneubeck (it's on the thank you slide of my talk btw)
Thank you!

I know we don’t typically say this here but, you have a very relevant username for your question xoranth :D

Does anyone know what geometric means in this context?
It refers to the geometric progression of bucket sizes used in the data structure.
