<p>I'm shocked! <a href="https://ciberlandia.pt/tags/TodayILearned" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TodayILearned</span></a> that <a href="https://ciberlandia.pt/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Python</span></a> sets don't de-duplicate NaN values! (I guess it is because NaN has this crazy property that it is not equal to itself... NaN != NaN is True...) </p><pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; set((float('nan'), float('nan'), float('nan'))) <br>{nan, nan, nan}<br></code></pre>

<p>The arXiv is where we keep papers on math, physics, etc. It&#39;s run by Cornell University.</p><p>It seems unlikely that the US government would demand that Cornell destroy the arXiv. But the many copies of the arXiv around the world were shut down on September 15, 2024, and it seems that now all the data resides in the US.</p><p>If anyone wants to back up the arXiv, they should go here:</p><p><a href="https://info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data_s3.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data_</span><span class="invisible">s3.html</span></a></p><p>and here, which looks cheaper:</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/arxiv-bulk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.org/details/arxiv-bulk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>The complete arXiv was 5.6 terabytes in March 2023, and growing at about 100 gigabytes a month.</p><p>Also read this, if you want to keep your backup up to date:</p><p><a href="https://info.arxiv.org/help/api/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">info.arxiv.org/help/api/index.</span><span class="invisible">html</span></a></p><p>If you work on this, please let SciOp know:</p><p><a href="https://sciop.net/datasets/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">sciop.net/datasets/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>They are a group of people backing up databases.</p>
