Honestly, I find the decision in #Wine 9.0 to force #HidRaw by default for specific gamepads a very bad one. Apparently, it was done because these devices use "a proprietary HID protocol", and so they full functionality cannot be exposed via XInput. Well, okay. Except that there are two problems.
Firstly, using them via HidRaw requires special device permissions. In #Gentoo, this means installing games-util/game-device-udev-rules. If you don't do that, the controllers simply don't appear at all, and you don't know why. You have to look for answers. Even if you do, I have some doubts about giving extra permissions to stuff.
Secondly, it requires all software to support these gamepads explicitly. I mean, I've tried this with DualShock 4 in two games. In "Saints Row V", the gamepad work but the Y axis would be reversed for no apparent reason. In "A Plague Tale", the gamepad wouldn't be detected at all.
I prefer a gamepad that works over theoretical support for some fancy hidden features. So it's back to XInput for me:
wine reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\winebus" /v "DisableHidraw" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Subadditivity of shifts, Eilenberg-Zilber shuffle products and homology of lattices
We show that the maximal shifts in the minimal free resolution of the quotients of a polynomial ring by a monomial ideal are subadditive as a function of the homological degree. This answers a question that has received some attention in recent years. To do so, we define and study a new model for the homology of posets, given by the so called synor complex. We also introduce an Eilenberg-Zilber type shuffle product on the simplicial chain complex of lattices. Combining these concepts we prove…

XAV: A High-Performance Regular Expression Matching Engine for Packet Processing
Regular expression matching is the core function of various network security applications such as network intrusion detection systems. With the network bandwidth increases, it is a great challenge to implement regular expression matching for line rate packet processing. To this end, a novel scheme named XAV targeting high-performance regular expression matching is proposed in this paper. XAV first employs anchor DFA to tackle the state explosion problem of DFA. Then based on anchor DFA, two tec…

Verbal Verdict (2024) is an interrogation game that uses a locally-run LLM. Not finished, but there's a demo. The framing does a couple things that helps it work:
- you're limited to 30m of interrogation, which nudges you to stay on topic.
- one character is the murder victim's therapist, which makes "I can't answer that" a plausible response. 1/

On four-manifolds without 1- and 3-handles
We note that infinitely many irreducible, closed, simply connected 4-manifolds, with prescribed signature and spin type, admit perfect Morse functions, i.e. they can be given handle decompositions without 1- and 3-handles. In particular, there are many such 4-manifolds homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to the standard 4-manifolds # m (S^2 x S^2) and # n (CP^2 # -CP^2), respectively, which answers Problem 4.91 on Kirby's 1997 list.

Prompting a Pretrained Transformer Can Be a Universal Approximator
Despite the widespread adoption of prompting, prompt tuning and prefix-tuning of transformer models, our theoretical understanding of these fine-tuning methods remains limited. A key question is whether one can arbitrarily modify the behavior of pretrained model by prompting or prefix-tuning it. Formally, whether prompting and prefix-tuning a pretrained model can universally approximate sequence-to-sequence functions. This paper answers in the affirmative and demonstrates that much smaller pret…

A class of trees determined by their chromatic symmetric functions
Stanley introduced the concept of chromatic symmetric functions of graphs which extends and refines the notion of chromatic polynomials of graphs, and asked whether trees are determined up to isomorphism by their chromatic symmetric functions. Using the technique of differentiation with respect to power-sum symmetric functions, we give a positive answer to Stanley's question for the class of trees with exactly two vertices of degree at least 3. In addition, we prove that for any tree $T$, the g…
