I thougt it was primarily to verify that the address is actually yours, so they don’t unknowingly spam someone else and can reach you with important information such as pricing changes.
If they want to hold out for some big (or even small) payout, they have every right to do so. But they don't. Why? Because it's the best deal available for the scientists. The journal publishers actually do something. And if you think you can do it for much less, I hope you will step forward and help humanity.
There are so many sanctimonious piracy defenders here. If they really believe what they say, someone could easily step forward and slap together a website for next to nothing.
Except it can’t. LLM crawlers DDoS websites so that no one else can access them.
Anubis is just a patch that shouldn’t be needed; it annoys regular visitors and prevents people on low-powered devices or with JavaScript disabled from reading the site at all.
Can you spot the infinite loop in this function?
char* strcpy(char* restrict d, const char* restrict s) {
stpcpy(d, s);
return d;
}
I'll help. A call to `stpcpy` that ignores the return value can be swapped with a call to the (more likely to be optimized) `strcpy`. Since that's infinite recursion, and there is no forward progress, it's undefined behavior and anything goes.This isn't just theory, it actually broke things in practice for me.
So `str` and `mem` are reserved. But then so are `to` and `is` (by <ctype.h>). Just forget about having a function named `is_valid_user`.
And so are `mtx_`, `cnd_`, `thrd_`, `atomic_`, `memory_`...
Which is why... everything in C is UB.
That's assuming you could even reasonably train a neural net to output viable weights, of course.
A car takes you to an "uncommon place in the woods?"
Taking a plane is a "common edit?"
For the majority of people a car would be the "common" usage and a plane would be the "uncommon" usage. Unless you're a billionaire taking your private jet between runways to then hop on a helicopter for the rest of your trip.
It's a terrible analogy.
