I’ve been scanning through NUGET, and consulting firms have figured out they can get quality backlinks by publishing some bespoke “dev kit” that no one will use.
It’s exacerbated by the package sprawl and “separation of concerns” style solutions that plague .NET, so their DevKit sprawls over 100 packages.
Keep pushing new versions every few minutes to keep those “recently updated” pages showing your corporate logos.

According to Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT) -- Intelligent representations compress data into the shortest possible program that can reconstruct its content, exhibiting low Kolmogorov Complexity (KC). In contrast, most visual representation learning systems use fixed-length representations for all inputs, ignoring variations in complexity or familiarity. Recent adaptive tokenization methods address this by allocating variable-length representations but typically require test-time search o…

One problem I have with the upgrades is they add a digital component to a physical game I already have. From a handling standpoint, it's the worst of both worlds.

On Trustworthy Rule-Based Models and Explanations
A task of interest in machine learning (ML) is that of ascribing explanations to the predictions made by ML models. Furthermore, in domains deemed high risk, the rigor of explanations is paramount. Indeed, incorrect explanations can and will mislead human decision makers. As a result, and even if interpretability is acknowledged as an elusive concept, so-called interpretable models are employed ubiquitously in high-risk uses of ML and data mining (DM). This is the case for rule-based ML models,…

eFlesh: Highly customizable Magnetic Touch Sensing using Cut-Cell Microstructures
If human experience is any guide, operating effectively in unstructured environments -- like homes and offices -- requires robots to sense the forces during physical interaction. Yet, the lack of a versatile, accessible, and easily customizable tactile sensor has led to fragmented, sensor-specific solutions in robotic manipulation -- and in many cases, to force-unaware, sensorless approaches. With eFlesh, we bridge this gap by introducing a magnetic tactile sensor that is low-cost, easy to fabr…
