The data half of the EU Digital Omnibus goes up to national ambassadors, possibly as soon as 7 October, after member state experts failed again to close the gaps. One of the open items decides whether tracking identifiers count as personal data at all, which is a bigger question than anything in the

Enables filtering datasets of tradable instruments by prior specified identifiers which correspond to saved filter expressions. A filter is a named expression bound to a target dataset, stored once in a package level registry, and later applied to select trading codes such as tickers or symbols out of a universe, price or signal dataset. The design follows the 'filters' package, replacing the clinical study dataset convention with a trading instrument convention.

The Have I Been Pwned project has added 821,100 account records belonging to measurement instrument manufacturer Fluke to its database of compromised data. The records were incorporated into the service’s breach repository, though the article does not specify the origin or timeline of the data exposure. No technical details about the breach, such as affected systems, attack vectors, or CVE identifiers, were provided. The inclusion of these records allows individuals to check if their Fluke-related credentials were compromised. The incident involves a manufacturer of industrial and electronic testing equipment. No further impacts, such as financial loss or operational disruptions, were described.

Provides infrastructure for defining, storing, and managing financial instrument metadata independently of market data sources. Models instrument identities, contract specifications, identifiers, and relationships among financial instruments, including currencies, equities, funds, bonds, futures, options, spreads, exchange rates, and synthetic instruments. Supports reusable instrument definitions for research, portfolio management, trading, and quantitative finance applications.

A toolkit for analysing biochar characterisation and batch adsorption experiments. Provides functions to parse structured sample identifiers encoding pyrolysis conditions, read raw FTIR and XRD instrument output, compute adsorption capacity and removal efficiency, fit adsorption isotherms following Langmuir (1918) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1021%2Fja02242a004" target="_top">doi:10.1021/ja02242a004</a>&gt; and Sips (1948) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1063%2F1.1746922" target="_top">doi:10.1063/1.1746922</a>&gt; among other models, fit adsorption kinetics following Ho and McKay (1999) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2FS0032-9592%2898%2900112-5" target="_top">doi:10.1016/S0032-9592(98)00112-5</a>&gt; and Chien and Clayton (1980) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.2136%2Fsssaj1980.03615995004400020013x" target="_top">doi:10.2136/sssaj1980.03615995004400020013x</a>&gt; among other models, fit batches of samples at once, compute van't Hoff thermodynamic parameters, baseline-correct and pick peaks in FTIR spectra, deconvolve XRD patterns into a crystallinity index, compute BET surface area following Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (1938) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1021%2Fja01269a023" target="_top">doi:10.1021/ja01269a023</a>&gt;, compute proximate and ultimate analysis summaries, build correlation matrices with p-values, and produce publication-style base-graphics figures including 600 dpi TIFF export. Built on base R ('stats', 'graphics', 'grDevices') so it has no dependency on packages that require external CRAN network access to install.

Model integrations are easy to instrument badly. Logging every prompt creates unnecessary data exposure. Logging only the model name leaves too little evidence when a production response needs investigation. An execution receipt offers a middle path: preserve operational metadata without copying the full interaction into a general-purpose log. What belongs in the receipt? Useful fields include: request and task identifiers; prompt, policy, and schema versions; endpoint alias; start time and latency; usage measurements; validation outcome; fallback or retry status. Application request ↓ Redaction and classification ↓ Model endpoint ↓ Output validation ↓ Execution receipt store Teams evaluating model endpoints for this architecture can place VectorEngine behind the same application-owned wrapper and receipt format. Disclosure: this article includes an external referral link for readers who want to explore the platform. TypeScript-style pseudocode type Receipt = { requestId: string; task: string; promptVersion: string; endpointAlias: string; startedAt: string; latencyMs?: number; contractPassed?: boolean; fallbackUsed: boolean; status: "started" | "completed" | "failed"; }; async function invokeWithReceipt(input: unknown, ctx: Context) { const started = Date.now(); const receipt: Receipt = { requestId: ctx.requestId, task: ctx.task, promptVersion: ctx.promptVersion, endpointAlias: ctx.endpointAlias, startedAt: new Date(started).toISOString(), fallbackUsed: false, status: "started" }; try { const result = await invokeEndpoint(input, ctx.endpointAlias); receipt.latencyMs = Date.now() - started; receipt.contractPassed = validateOutput(result); receipt.status = "completed"; await appendReceipt(receipt); return result; } catch (error) { receipt.latencyMs = Date.now() - started; receipt.status = "failed"; await appendReceipt(receipt); throw error; } } This example intentionally excludes raw input and output. If investigation requires content access, store it under a separate retention and authorization policy rather than embedding it in every receipt. Receipts should also be append-oriented and versioned. Editing old records in place makes later reconstruction harder. The goal is modest: retain enough evidence to understand how a model-backed feature executed, while collecting no more content than the workflow requires.
