IRS Direct File won't be available next year for submitting tax returns for free

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said better alternatives exist and the private sector can do a better job. The program, developed during Joe Biden's presidency, was praised for making tax filing easy and economical. However, it face…

GCVE BCP-05 drafting - Best practices for the "container" format - modified CVE Record Format
Thanks @claudex . This is an excellent point and would also improve the ability to parse GCVE records reliably. Below is a proposal for a record_type field that would serve as a key within each GCVE record. Feel free to comment. @cedric I incorporated the idea concerning the sync of the comment (not sure if the most efficient way). Proposed update to BCP-05 (following the online workshop of 6th December in Belgium) The record_type field defines the semantic category of the content submitted by…

MPC strategies for density profile control with pellet fueling in nuclear fusion tokamaks under uncertainty
Control of the density profile based on pellet fueling for the ITER nuclear fusion tokamak involves a multi-rate nonlinear system with safety-critical constraints, input delays, and discrete actuators with parametric uncertainty. To address this challenging problem, we propose a multi-stage MPC (msMPC) approach to handle uncertainty in the presence of mixed-integer inputs. While the scenario tree of msMPC accounts for uncertainty, it also adds complexity to an already computationally intensive …
