Optimal Clearing Payments in a Financial Contagion Model
Financial networks are characterized by complex structures of mutual obligations. These obligations are fulfilled entirely or in part (when defaults occur) via a mechanism called clearing, which determines a set of payments that settle the claims by respecting rules such as limited liability, absolute priority, and proportionality (pro-rated payments). In the presence of shocks on the financial system, however, the clearing mechanism may lead to cascaded defaults and eventually to financial dis…

In Godot, there is a panel to configure Importer settings, and the way that it works there is that you need to "Save" the values if you like it.
I am thinking that on iPad, I should automatically save, without asking the user. But in that case, perhaps I should add a "Reset to defaults"?
But that is going to ruin my pretty UI

Ah, but what I didn't try was cladding all the windows and starting again, which in the Linux world means take away your attempts to fix the font and hope that the subsequent Save fills in those missing defaults.
And lo…

Defaults: a double-edged sword in governing common resources
Extracting from shared resources requires making choices to balance personal profit and sustainability. We present the results of a behavioural experiment wherein we manipulate the default extraction from a finite resource. Participants were exposed to two treatments -- pro-social or self-serving extraction defaults -- and a control without defaults. We examined the persistence of these nudges by removing the default after five rounds. Results reveal that a self-serving default increased the av…

Should I be asking the hard questions, like why #Django defaults to "America/Chicago" timezone?
(at a quick glance, an ancient historical default)
How did I notice that? Because musl doesn't include timezones by default, and this non-UTC default means that tests in random Django revdeps may fail on systems without timezones.

The trick of using `defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string` to pin the Dock doesn’t seem to work in #macOS Sonoma.

The ECJ has misunderstood the Web dynamics in 2014, mainly misled by the Spanish DPA. And now we can see the fallout of the social dynamics this triggers. It may even start to endanger democracy as it defaults to silencing critics:

I've spent the last hour re-investigating how-to-migrate-from-Evernote, Joplin looks like a candidate, but OMG, has anyone ever heard of defaults? "Oh, you imported your notes the Wrong Way. You should have used the Right Way. But we also gave you a button for the Wrong Way with no warning about how disappointed you would be, because you never know, some people might like it!" Arrrrgggggh.

Turning off all the #LinkedIn notifications, because trying to understand which ones might actually be useful is too much work.
Wouldn't it be nice to have social media that had defaults that are actually good for the user!!

Finally tracked down why the broken status was broken - #Akkoma's media preview proxy defaults to on and ebay was having absolutely none of it when it tried to get information from there. Maybe it's a broken ebay URL but turning the proxy off made everything work and I can live with that rather than people being able to nerf my timeline by typing in incorrect URLs...

Using CPI in Loss Given Default Forecasting Models for Commercial Real Estate Portfolio
Forecasting the loss given default (LGD) for defaulted Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans poses a significant challenge due to the extended resolution and workout time associated with such defaults, particularly in CCAR and CECL framework where the utilization of post-default information, including macroeconomic variables (MEVs) such as unemployment (UER) and various rates, is restricted. The current environment of persistent inflation and resultant elevated rates further compounds the uncertai…

Fedora and older XFS filesystem format V4
Upstream deprecated the V4 format for XFS with commit b96cb835 . With next year being the date that it defaults to unsupported (though can be enabled with a kernel config for a while still). As such, Fedora 40 will be the last release that supports these older XFS filesystems.…

Just upgraded to Linux kernel 6.8 and my NTFS mounts in fstab failed.
What’s worse was it refused to boot because of the mount failure even though I had errors=continue set.
The fix was:
1. remove defaults, default_permissions
2. change type from ntfs to ntfs3

Optimal Control Problems Governed by MFSDEs with multi-defaults
In this paper, we solve an optimal control problem governed by a system of mean-field stochastic differential equations with multiple defaults (MMFSDEs). We transform the global optimal control problem into several optimal control subproblems governed by a system of mean-field stochastic differential equations with single default (SMFSDEs) and derive both the sufficient and necessary maximum principles for these subproblems. We also give the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the MMFSDEs …

Fun bug in #ZBar discovered while debugging a #SegNo (#Python #QRCode generator library) test failure on #Gentoo with #musl libc.
SegNo defaults to attempting to encode strings as ISO-8859-1 if possible. ZBar defaults to trying to decode them as Big5 first. Most of the time everything works fine.
Let's take a test string from ZBar: "Märchenbücher". When we encode it as ISO-8859-1, we're going to get two high-byte, low-byte sequences: E4 72 for "är" and FC 63 for "üc". The latter sequence maps to a "user defined" character in Big5, and therefore glibc refuses to convert it. However, musl converts it just fine. As a result, ZBar decodes the string as Big5, to "M酺chenb𡡷her".
You could argue that musl behaves wrong. However, note that the former sequence is valid in Big5. So if you shorten the string to just "Märchen", glibc would happily decode its ISO-8859-1 #encoding as Big5, giving you "M酺chen". And yes, if I put that test string into SegNo, I get a QRCode that reproduces the problem on a glibc system.
Does ZBar behave wrong here? Or perhaps SegNo should avoid ISO-8859-1 altogether, and use safer UTF-8 encoding?

Random #Gentoo moaning for today:
1. #LibArchive started failing its tests (and #BSDCPIO and #BSDTar started being verbose) because #LRZip decided to repurpose the `-q` option. Previously, it silenced all the verbose output it defaults to, now you actually need to pass `-Q` to silence it.
#Git 2.43.2 broke #PkgCheck since `git log` apparently no longer accepts `--no-find-copies`.
