> "Stripe, one of the processors that pressured Itch, say they themselves were acting under restrictions imposed by unnamed banking partners."
Unnamed banking partners control what is acceptable speech. Which makes them unaccountable in both a political and economic sense.
It's one of the things that crypto-currency fans aren't wrong about.

Valve point to Mastercard restrictions as the payment firm deny influencing adult game removals
Mastercard say they're not to blame for Steam's NSFW game cull, but Valve claim that payment processors cited specific Mastercard rules as a pressuring tactic.

Automatic Multi-level Feature Tree Construction for Domain-Specific Reusable Artifacts Management
With the rapid growth of open-source ecosystems (e.g., Linux) and domain-specific software projects (e.g., aerospace), efficient management of reusable artifacts is becoming increasingly crucial for software reuse. The multi-level feature tree enables semantic management based on functionality and supports requirements-driven artifact selection. However, constructing such a tree heavily relies on domain expertise, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this issue, this paper pr…

🥳 New Kitten Release
To GNU tar or not to GNU tar?
• Installing Kitten on Linux should no longer display a screenful of gibberish from the tar command.
You see, macOS, being special, includes BSD tar, not GNU tar, and adds a bunch of Mac-specific metadata and extended header keywords to archives that GNU tar on Linux machines then chokes on and regurgitates onto your screen as warnings.
With this release, Kitten’s packaging script expects GNU tar to be available on ma…

Frame-Level Real-Time Assessment of Stroke Rehabilitation Exercises from Video-Level Labeled Data: Task-Specific vs. Foundation Models
The growing demands of stroke rehabilitation have increased the need for solutions to support autonomous exercising. Virtual coaches can provide real-time exercise feedback from video data, helping patients improve motor function and keep engagement. However, training real-time motion analysis systems demands frame-level annotations, which are time-consuming and costly to obtain. In this work, we present a framework that learns to classify individual frames from video-level annotations for real…

Tonight's game is Stripers vs Durham Bulls (again). Last night's game was rained out. So, today is a seven inning double header (two 7 inning games). We got here just in time for the end of the first game (6th inning).
Hot dog acquired.

Structure Transfer: an Inference-Based Calculus for the Transformation of Representations
Representation choice is of fundamental importance to our ability to communicate and reason effectively. A major unsolved problem, addressed in this paper, is how to devise \textit{representational-system (RS) agnostic} techniques that drive representation transformation and choice. We present a novel calculus, called \textit{structure transfer}, that enables representation transformation across diverse RSs. Specifically, given a \textit{source} representation drawn from a source RS, the rules …

Mode-Matched Inverse Gamma Priors for Variance Components in Bayesian Multilevel Models
We introduce a strategy for specifying informative inverse-gamma (IG) priors for variance components in Bayesian multilevel models (MLMs), derived via transformations from chi-square to gamma to inverse-gamma distributions. A Monte Carlo simulation compared frequentist (maximum likelihood) estimation and Bayesian estimation using uninformative, weakly informative, and strongly informative variance priors across varied conditions (clusters J = 10, 30, 100; cluster sizes M = 5, 30; intraclass cor…

Enhancement of the effects due to the Schrödinger-Newton equation
The Schrödinger-Newton (SN) equation introduces a nonlinear self-gravitational term to the standard Schrödinger equation, offering a paradigmatic model for semiclassical gravity. However, the small deviations it predicts from standard quantum mechanics pose significant experimental challenges. We propose a novel method to amplify such deviations through periodic modulation of the trapping frequency in a levitated mechanical oscillator. We identify specific regimes where the SN-induced effects…

Predicting EGFR Mutation in LUAD from Histopathological Whole-Slide Images Using Pretrained Foundation Model and Transfer Learning: An Indian Cohort Study
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). LUAD with mutation in the EGFR gene accounts for approximately 46% of LUAD cases. Patients carrying EGFR mutations can be treated with specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Hence, predicting EGFR mutation status can help in clinical decision making. H&E-stained whole slide imaging (WSI) is a routinely performed screening procedure for cancer staging and subtyping, especially affecting the Southeast Asian popula…
